Coach Tuesday

Am not surprised. Just not their MO.

This thread is gonna end up touching the “are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?” thread on the other side…

What a world

Such a breath of fresh air, we never would've landed a backup DT or third-down back on the first day of free agency before JA17.

Steelers play off coverage almost exclusively right?

Seems like they're trying to upgrade their overall athleticism across the board.

Never understood why the Patriots let this guy go, they had him for a minute, he was productive, then they let him walk. He's been great everywhere he's been.

Hicks is 20x the player Star is.

Wonder if they try to poach Bates.

Holy moly they are obsessed with d-linemen.

I mean they just traded for Carson Wentz at FULL SALARY.

THERE IT IS. I just won TSW Bingo!

Reminds me of Austin Ekeler.

Perfect fit for this offense. Great signing.

Edmunds Thread Trigger Alert!

It seems like “13 Seconds” has become a Rorschach Test around here… either you think the roster had everything it needed to win that game and would’ve gone on to win the Super Bowl, so there’s nothing wrong with “running it back,” or you think they were 1-2 difference makers away from getting it done and should be aggressively trying to find that missing piece. I fall into the second category. The thing is, Beane’s post-season PC indicated he did too - he talked about needing to add speed and YAC to the offense, improving the pass rush, etc. - maybe you can find all of that later on in free agency or in the draft. Let’s hope he does. But at some point you cannot be content with just staying put, other teams are aggressively trying to improve, too, and we need to stay in the arms race to stay on top. The offense needs more weapons, the secondary needs more speed, and the pass rush needs a closer - I cannot get excited about changing out veteran DTs and guards on Day 1 of free agency. Go get the real difference-makers and let’s win this thing.

Wow I just read that they’re moving to a 3-4… so are they expecting Harry to play a traditional nose tackle role anchoring the 3-4? That is asking a lot IMO…

Yup, that’s what I’m saying. But his legacy will be measured in Lombardis and if he squanders that franchise QB’s legacy by running the team like a used car dealership on Sheridan, history won’t judge him kindly.

TBH in retrospect he maybe was not a good draft pick. Using a third-rounder on a low-ceiling 1T leads to problems because those guys are easy to find and therefore difficult to justify paying.

Beane got us a QB. The rest of his work has been Guntekustesque. Hey I just won TSW scrabble!

I’m shocked that your computer wasn’t confiscated after the last thread you started.

Lost a guard, signed a guard. Lost a DT, signed a DT. The other DT (Settle), if you squint enough it’s basically the Quinton Jefferson scouting report from 2020. The OBD personnel guys are water-treading Olympians.

They can run the same popgun offense with either QB.

Edmunds Thread Trigger Alert!

The Jets just re-signed Berrios for 2 years $12M. Better receiver than Mac and can also return kicks. Would've much preferred that signing.
