BringBackFergy Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Not a bad article Yolo. I didn't realize Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas were both unrestricted free agents. I think it is fantasy land to think we would ever sign Julius Thomas but weirder things have happened. Not sure how Julius Thomas would perform minus Peyton Manning.

Lofton80 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 My offseason wishlist is fixing the running game once and for all. Is it the formation, the talent level of the lineman, the lack of a tight end who can both block and catch a ball. As a northeastern team, the inability to run the ball effectively takes away a major advantage late in the season. Throwing bombs on every short yardage situation is not a vote of confidence for the offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a solid article but i have a couple of issues. 1st no discussion of upgrading QB. 2nd I wouldn't want the WR's mentioned. JT would be a huge offseason score. Clay would be a cheaper upgrade as well, The guard position needs an overhaul, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT would be a huge offseason score. Clay would be a cheaper upgrade as well, The guard position needs an overhaul, i wonder if the lack of QB discussion in that article is because it is from November. I think many felt Orton would be starting next year at that point. But IMO it is OG - QB -RB - TE. And sign Hughes and Searcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Pretty good article. I guess the draft was a good topic, and now that the ownership situation is handled (thanx Pegula's), we should be able to attract better free agent talkent. I like the Denver TE suggestion. Chandler and Marquis.....not usre Lee Smith or Gragg should have a job next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Sign Hughes, search, Wynn should be priority. Then do whatever it takes to sign Iupati. I would draft Gurley, trading up if I had to. And Jordan Cameron might be the answer at te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing bombs on every short yardage situation is not a vote of confidence for the offensive line. Amen. Doesn't look like we're gonna miraculously find a pro bowl QB this off season, so fix the running game. Resign Hughes, Searcy and hopefully Wynn and Bryant. Spikes will be a luxury. I'd be all for resigning Spiller of we can add 2-3 good lineman and especially if Hackett is let go. Fire Pat Morris. Fix the run game and keep this D intact.

John from Riverside Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Its interesting that there is no talk of qb in the article....which I feel should def be a topic of discussion....... Instead of throwing a boat load at OG Lupiti I think I would look to see if LG Levitre gets cut (from what I hear he still liked it here) for a lesser contract and look at a OG like Bowling.....bring in TWO OG's not one....jettison Pears....keep Urbick who plays both OG and C We absolutely need a TE threat and Clay sounds like a nice fit One thing that is concerning me......DT Williams while he made the pro bowl this year is long on the tooth......and when Marcel went out of the game our run stop went to pot. I think if the right DT falls to the 2nd round in this next draft (someone that can actually stop the run) we really need to take a look at that Address our offensive side of the ball in free agency (and sign Hughes and Wynn)......and use our draft to continue to stockpile D talent......

Chandler#81 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Chandler, who's never met a tackler he could evade, is a huge target with good hands. Perhaps NEVER experiencing a gifted player at the position for Buffalo has minimized the effect, but he's not on my Upgrade List. The OL is still a work in progress. Marrone wants huge brawlers-ala Dallas, and he's only completing his 2nd year. Urbik -and frankly- Glenn @ LT don't fit the mold, which accounts for Urbik always seeming to get beat. The opposition is aiming for him rather than the monsters we're growing, IMO. Same could be said for Wood.. So, realizing the FO will continue to add per their mantra, my wish list consists solely of: Quarterback Quarterback Quarterback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Re-sign: Hughes, Searcy, Easley, Hogan. (Would love Spikes and Spiller back, but think they can do better scheme-wise elsewhere.) Sign Charles Clay (Very good receiving option and hurts a division rival) and Mike Iupati. Find a QB. And make sure Henderson, Richardson and Kouandijo don’t miss a day in the weight room this off season.

Unless the Rams trade him, we don't get him and that's a lot of contract to eat. I'm firmly in the camp that believes that Stl won't keep Bradford at $17M in 2015, and I doubt anyone will trade for that cap hit. The only way they keep him is if he renegotiated, but I think he'd be crazy to do that and pass up a chance to hit the open market. Toss him $9M/year and the chance to play with Sammy, and I think he'd bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
