I don't mind him back either. I think he is more of a 3/4 though.

Waiting for Jacksonville to cut Allen Hurns. He's due 7 million with no dead cap hit. They have Lee and Moncrief signed to some big money and have added a ton in free agency. Good size and good speed. I'd take a shot at Jeff Janis for depth. Someone mentioned him the other day. I still don't know how Matthews ran a 4.46 at the combine.

I thought Jones looked pretty good as a gunner early on. Not a bad re-sign if it's league minimum.

I don't want him back at any price. If he returns, he will continue to hold this defense back. Manti T'eo, essentially the same player, signed a 2 year 5 million dollar contract. He is a part time player that only plays in base 4-3 sets. I'd be comfortable with that number, but I'd prefer he not come back. Also, Avery Williamson is a playmaker. He has something like 12 career sacks. The dude is a difference maker.

I really like Shaq's potential, but I'd call the Saints and offer them Shaq or Hughes for AJ Klein. We get our middle backer and they get the edge defender they've needed opposite Cam Jordan for quite some time. New Orleans was very high on Shaq coming out, before they picked Sheldon Rankins.

I'll have to agree to disagree. Once that quarterback breaks the pocket that linebacker needs to have enough speed to run him down. At least in this zone scheme. Preston is just not twitchy enough to make that transition and doesn't have the speed. He is a 2 down backer in this league. There is value in that, but not for us. And that is my point. You just can't pay a player of his caliber anything close to what the market is dictating. It is what we used to do with the Chris Kelsays of the world. Let him move on and figure it out some other way.

From all indications Conor McDermott loves him. That's an advocate for Rosen who is already inside our building and played with him for two years. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/josh-rosen-conor-mcdermott-ucla/ https://media.theplayerstribune.com/uploads/20150905_zan_o44_001.jpg Here's a quote from twitter: OT Conor McDermott on Josh Rosen: "He's super smart.. He's a great man, a tremendous leader & one of my best friends." https://twitter.com/BruceFeldmanCFB/status/754012981793476608

We could not get to Bortles, but once he breaks the pocket, linebackers need to have enough closing speed so he isn't running for 30 yards. The linebackers need to close the gap and stop the quarterback before he gets to the first down marker. I blame Brown and Ramon Humber. They both stink. I just think bringing him back is a very poor use of funds. He has proven to be mediocre, and that can't be the goal, can it? When we eventually find his replacement, he can't really play special teams either. Seems like there is no point to having him back. Yes he is smart and such, maybe he should be a linebacker coach or something. Just a very poor fit for our scheme.

He is never man to man on backs and tight ends, but the MIKE in this system needs to be able to play a deep middle. He has to have range and speed and he has to be able to get to crossers and things of that nature before they get to the first down. He is terrible at this and he doesn't have the speed to make up for it. I still say he is the reason we lost to Jacksonville. Bortles was able to run up in the pocket and ran for 10-15 yards every time before anyone got to him. This happened because Brown is too slow. He has to be able to come out of his zone like a missle downhill and tackle that quarterback. He simply cannot do it. He's a 3-4 ILB who comes off the field in nickel ala Reggie Ragland.

Gotta move on unless you are making him a two down guy who comes off the field in nickel. He is so mediocre and bringing him back is like re-signing Chris Kelsay...paying mediocre players has had a negative effect on this franchise for many years. I hope they stop doing it.

Maybe he wanted to take most of the time with long answers so that he wouldnt have to answer as many questions

Slight overpay but a huge need and basically cut the Marcell contract in half.

Perfecting the art of slow eyes

Thanks for the response. My reaction is that If Rosen gave that response he would in fact be less genuine. That’s just not who he is imo.

I kind of liked his “aw shucks” comment. I mean does every guy have to be a boring talking head? I like his personality from what I’ve seen but thats probably just me. Mayock complimented him on his natural throwing. What is he supposed to say? Thanks? They would say he’s so boring like Eli. He could say “Yeah I know i have the best arm.” Then people would say hes a cocky no good rich kid. He’s a 20 year old kid who gave Mayock and quirky answer. I liked it. I think he realizes that people who have decided he’s some liberal rich kid are going to critcize him no matter what he does. I respect him for deciding to be himself rather than pretend to be something he is not.

Anyone planning on turning that Manuel jersey into a Rosen?

He is nothing special. Extremely ordinary. Read his and Nate Peterman’s draft profile on NFL.com and you will see that Nate got a slightly higher pre draft grade. They are the same level of prospects and we are looking for something special, not Bryce Petty.

We traded down once last year and traded up twice. We came away from last year’s draft with 6 players. I expect something similar this year. I like that this fromt office goes and gets the players they have targeted.

Mayock did say process like 5 times im his interview with Rosen...he must know something!!!!

That’s where I am at. I like him too. He’s not my favorite but I don’t think there is anyway they draft him

Can we all just come to terms with the fact that Brandon Beane is not going to draft Baker Mayfield? Then the debates can end. The dude is not going to hitch his reputation and his career on a small, unathletic quarterback who makes excuses and has trouble with the law. It just isn’t going to happen. He is going to draft Rosen, Darnold, or Allen. At least if it doesn’t work no one will blame him because he took a shot and trusted the process. Mayfield is the anti process. He’s the risky leap of faith. Not Beane’s style.

Marquis Flowers is an interesting guy from the Patriots if you want a young guy with some upside. Browns just released Jeremy Cash who could be an intersting buy as a depth guy. Both are converted safeties. I like Flowers a lot and i bet he is a guy we are in on right now. If you want older guys Lawrence Timmons and Brian Cushing could be good depth adds who could start a year if needed.

That won’t make him faster or help him cover toght ends. He’s terrible.

EJ is a very specific scheme fit with injury issues. It’s in his best interests to come back to us and prove that this year wasn’t a fluke. Preston is slow and can’t cover. Not really coveted in today’s NFL. I could see him going somwhere like Green Bay to play inside in a 3-4. He’s a 2 down backer and he likes the Patriots so f him.

Bucky is the worst
