dasox24 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 06:20 PM) I say do everything possible to keep Jay upright. A, it helps us really see what we get with him (I'm hoping we finally run a balanced attack to his strength's, which hopefully minimizes turnovers) and B, if Jay still can't do it, having a strong line only puts whomever you draft / bring in to be in the best possible position to succeed. My thoughts exactly. The more we can keep the ball on the ground, the less it's in Jay's hands to make a stupid turnover. And when we do pass, we can mix in play-action to freeze the defense, which again, makes it less likely for Jay to turn it over. Though, he's always going to have his WTF moments. That's just Jay.

Minimum of a year, but would anyone even sign him after. This guy is literally Alonzo Spellman messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the defense sucks so running the ball into punts is going to make it a very lopsided game quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I am hoping that even if the d still will give up more yards per game, the pressure/scheme can provide more turnovers. But we got too used to running = 2/3 yrds or less. Running should not mean conceding the offensive possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping it was pure coaching that led to the line not being able to block. My point was based on signing Evan Mathis and kicking out Long to RT. If you do that, then you have 2 Pro Bowl players on your right side (Mathis/Long). Plus, Slauson is an above-average OG. Of course, this is all assuming Long can effectively play RT, but I have no reason to believe he can't based on his size and measurables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically calls Goodell a liar. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/roger-goodell...409591-nfl.html Man that's a lot of words for a pretty minor, innocuous fact in a 20 something page finding.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 If you believe his pro day results, he's really effing fast for a OLB. His 4.44 40 would have destroyed Beaselys 4.53, and his 3 cone would have been top 5 as well. His 15 reps would have been last though. 18 was the lowest at the combine. Starter on a really good defense at Miss St. Could be an interesting little project for Fangio...Get em in the weight room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 It's crazy all the rumors about Willie Young not making the final 53. Shows how crazy the football business side is. Sign a decent deal, have a great start, get a brutal injury and you are discarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
