2020 Our Year For Sure

Man that is good to hear

Regarding weak content, iirc Ryan for several years now has done an outstanding job giving information on UDFAs upon signing. Its much appreciated as it can be tough to find good info on those little-known prospects. I have so many wonderful memories of Piper over the years. As a kid I was captivated when he beat Hollywood Hogan at Starrcade '96...the first to beat the 'bad guy' version of Hogan, he engrossed me in the story with his gritty, realistic approach to the acting part of the job. Ric Flair likes to tell stories of going into South America and other places with Roddy, and Piper as a baddie would ignite the foreign crowds to the point that Flair feared for his life as they tried to leave the ring/stage area through a riot. Flair also talks about how Piper was so talented and versatile, and such a lightning rod that smaller promoters wouldn't know what to do with him. They'd actually send their best asset home, put him on leave while they tried to figure out how to use a guy who could play any character you wanted and find a way to connect it with his audience on an emotional level. and always brought it in the ring between bells. I've lost interest in the modern product but thankfully was still watching when Piper produced this gem, playing the wisened vet on Piper's Pit come to defend the innocent but misguided AJ Lee from her talented but selfish boyfriend Daniel Bryan. As he did so often under the WWF/E banner, Piper takes a cartoonish storyline and makes it something personally relatable. He was a consummate family man who brought very real joy to masses of people. I like to think the bagpipes were playing as Roddy walked down the aisle into his next life, God bless.

I hear you, and accuracy isn't something that improves as commonly as seeing the field or something like that. I may be grasping at straws but still wonder if better lower body mechanics specifically may help his accuracy at some point

Kirby, what are your thoughts on the theory that EJ can improve with better lower body mechanics? Proper footwork and throwing more consistently from a strong base. My thought is that Marrone, Hackett and whatever the name was of that joke of a QB coach we hired last year did not even attempt to overhaul Manuel's mechanics the way he needed coming from a simplified system at FSU. Would it be fair to say that he may have just begun that much-needed overhaul this offseason?

I was starting to wonder if it were possible for Regier to get fired no matter what he did. Don't know what Terry was waiting for there. Then the LaFontaine debacle. Now they've put some prospects together to get up to a C. For the Bills an A. I couldn't ask for anything more than we got this offseason, other than a damn right tackle.

Brett Favre

Gotta score points right? Glenn is not only the best piece on a (quite possibly) mediocre OL, he's also the best piece of a (quite possibly) dismal OT group. Take Glenn away and this line could be a disaster. Bradham is another young homegrown player, who came into the league with a lot of faults and has wowed all of us with his progress. He plays both run and pass at least reasonably well. He can play nickel, I'd think. He's a good football player. All that said, I think if we were to lose him at the beginning of an offseason we could find the next man up. I consider Ryan a defensive mastermind and Whaley seems to have an aptitude for finding linebackers. It really wouldn't concern me very much. But to lose Glenn from a group I'm already concerned about... I hear ya Doc, and that's why I said if possible

I say keep Glenn and ditch Bradham, if possible.

With the Internet, all things are possible

I think it behooves this team to get to the playoffs and wash off the stink of the last 15 years. It either catches the eye of a veteran QB thinking win-now or it cultivates a better environment for a rookie QB beginning development. It also has an effect on the org. bottom to top, success begets success. If McCoy improves the offense and helps that happen it adds significantly to his value for me.

Can a former DTV customer get this service at the same residence?

And going from Marrone/Hackett to Roman.....can't wait.

Bingo.

I think if it's a perfect D-line for Jim it's just as good for Rex, because he can do everything that Schwartz can do schematically plus so much more. If it makes sense for us to blitz less, Rex will do that as he showed last year in NJ. But he will still vary formations and assignments to confuse QBs and O-lines, which will make our pass rush even more effective. I think our personnel is more comparable to what he had in Baltimore than in NJ so I'm expecting really stellar results on the defensive side. Regarding run D it may be true he doesn't have the pure nose tackle he had with those teams, but big #99 may well be up to the task if Rex really deems it necessary to change pace with a true two-gap 3-4 look. My questions about Rex are all on offense personally, just can't find a legitimate reaso, to think he'll fall off at all on D.

Please let it be...

'I think they're gonna run a bubble screen oh' is just fantastic.

The Chiefs signed Meh to a 6-year, $62.7m deal after one season playing for New England*. And that was back in '09. Too many teams out there too desperate at the QB position to count on much of a discount, if any, I'd think.

Fair enough Yolo. I find Shady's personality offputting, I thought it was weird how he wouldn't turn around and look at Boobie Dixon, and I read Rodak's tweets through that lense. I love elusive, quick runners and I'm pumped to see a quality one on our side. everything CJ was supposed to be. As long as he doesn't distract from the unified goal I'll be a big fan of McCoy.

Simply making an observation.

Report: LeSean McCoy foregoes stick removal surgery; will attempt to play in 2015 with stick up his butt.

Oh man. Football is back you guys.

I'm curious if we choose not to void the deal after 2015, does that mean we're committing to 18m over two years? Or would we have another chance to void after 2016? Nine million seems easier to swallow when it's a year by year thing and you can get out without penalty.

According to the OTC link above his base salary goes from 2.9 this year to 9m in 2016 and 9m in 2017. Cap hits are 4m-10m-10m. Considering the players we need to re-sign, and Watkins and Woods being here, Harvin would need to have one heck of a 2015 in order to even open a debate.

Our weapons sure are scary. Its worth noting though that SF also had the best offensive line in the league.
