buffaloboyinATL Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Beane really has done a great job setting us up to build a strong roster over the next few seasons. ? 1

That stuff may work against Bad teams but when you're playing good teams you only get so many possessions and you damn well better make them count I don’t believe that’s the philosophy as much as not trusting our offensive guys to execute. Either way, there’s zero chance mcdermott doesn’t watch tape on that game yesterday and say to himself “‘man I really screwed up” He is well liked in this league, I have to think some of his buddies text him and call and they discuss this kind of stuff. I’m not making excuses for them there are none, but he knows what’s wrong and why they are doing things this way. As mad as all of us are they are waaaaaay more embarrassed by what happened. It may have been the embarrassment needed to change. It’s his job to lose not ours. It matters to him more than us. He’s not the first coach to handle games this way. Hopefully he won’t be the coach who can’t or won’t adjust. And to follow up on the coaching aspect, if our guys execute better those points would of been on the board. There’s plenty of places to put blame on our styles of play Edited January 6, 2020 by Rc2catch 1
TheFunPolice Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 This roster was a pretty good to sometimes very good defense with an okay to bad offense Upgrade the offense and this team gets dangerous fast 1 1
Steve Billieve Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 I expect them to roll over more next year than they did this year. Cap space isn't just about who you can sign with it, it's about what it allows for you to do not just now but whenever the opportunity presents itself.

All I am saying is we don’t really have the horses to push this offense to “over-produce”. It may just be that we need more talent (which we DO), and it may be we need an altered philosophy at times. More talent and experience for Josh, and we might just be the real deal.....or just mediocre. I’m not willing to dance on Daboll’s grave yet. I’ll wait and see after another offseason. 2

peterpan Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 We have 3 years to win the Superbowl. Then Allen gets a $150 million contract or is a free agent. We need to add pieces THIS offseason,. Why? Look at the Vikings. All those new pieces need a season to gel before anything clicks. I just don't see us adding a superstar WR with size, and stud RT, and another TE this off-season. Those players won't hit free agency.

We can be pretty aggressive in FA if we need, granted it is all dependent on who is tagged and who is out there. I expect us to look for Blue Chippers and we can be smart and front load contracts appropriately to lessen cap hits in later years. If you have a chance to get a player in FA and punt that position in the draft go for it. It also allows us the ability if Josh busts or isn't worth the $100+ million to fill out the orster with studs and take another shot at the end of year 5 for him - sets the new guy up with a potentially loaded roster.... 1

The only UFA or FA WR worth considering in the top 10 available for 2020 is Amari Cooper. None available worth signing, so it's off to the Draft for everything else unless some out of nowhere trade happens.

Tight End maybe a trade.... I might swing for Hooper; I am really becoming more comfortable with it - it buys Knox time to develop and lessen the pressure to produce right away and gives Josh a target who is ready to go. Can easily run some 2 TE sets as well and have even more fun on offense. 3

RochesterRob Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 The 2021 rollover into 2022 does not look right due to minimum expenditure required as a percentage. Somebody care to comment on that. If revenue is growing exponentially for the league then it is growing exponentially for each team which will drive up all contracts going forward. Just don't know how much of a bonanza this is going to be without a lot of research.

We have a rock solid defense. Not many teams I’d rather be a fan of right now. Arrow pointing straight up. Did you not see the above charts?!?! An arrow aint the only thing pointing straight up.....why, no suh!

Tight End maybe a trade.... Need a FA WR too, though. Draft pick will take a little while to contribute. I like the TE thought and absolutely agree. Knox may develop, but a good FA will help in a big way. Josh needs immediate help to get a clear evaluation in his critical 3rd year.

Just don't know how much of a bonanza this is going to be without a lot of research. I didn't check the math on Spotrac, just look at it this was we have 57 under contract for 2020, 27 for 2021 and 13 for 2022 as of now - regardless of cash - the expiring contracts allow us to fully reshape the roster in face of FA and BP in the draft and build around our core of Josh, Tre, Edmunds, Oliver etc... Granted we will sign our own along the way while comparing against upgrades via FA, trades and the draft - the flexibility is honestly tremendous over the next 3 seasons and beyond to shape our roster. 2 minutes ago, Boatdrinks said: Need a FA WR too, though.

Beane has pursued this road before, and maybe this time it gets done. You might be able to minimize the WR with a TE like Hooper. I am very curious to see how FA plays out, it will show our general direction and obviously give us a strong insight into what positions they are prioritizing in the draft
