Considering he quietly asked for a trade earlier in the year and didn't have much to say with the media on his way out, I would as well. I commend him and Houston on transitioning in a 3-4 defense but they are not true 3-4 guys other than rushing the QB.

 

 

I disagree, at least on Houston anyway. Houston lined up as a linebacker on 80% of his snaps in Oakland, and it's what got him paid. I think people forget that. I also seem to remember him grading out as one of the best against the run in Oakland as well.

I love Young as a player but he's probably gone.

Lamarr Houston had 1 less tackle and 1 more sack than Mcphee. Mcphee played 188 more snaps.

Why do you all like Derek Wolfe so much?

 

 

He's a good player. John Fox loves him. And he's the most likely free agent signing of all the guys available in my opinion

Yeah I wouldn't run either guy out of town. Neither of them make much money. Unless you can get like a 4th or 5th for either guy, there's no reason to release them.

Right. I wouldn't mind keeping him but I think it would never hurt you as an organization to accomodate things like that after a significant shift in strategy. He did his part, played his ass off and now will get us pretty equal value.

I bet Denver resigns Wolfe and Miller. They are going to have a ton of cap room with Manning leaving.

They at least franchise Miller.

They also have to resign Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan as well then.

 

My money is Bears will get one of Jackson, Wolfe, Trevathan.

Have you looked at their cap and # of free agents? They have to sign Osweiler if they want him as well.

Every team has a bunch of free agents. Brock Osweiler is not someone that is going to break the bank, not yet at least.

 

They may have to choose between Jackson and Wolfe.

 

Danny Trevathan is a nice player, but not someone you have to sign.

Gase has a 2nd interview with the Eagles tomorrow. He's also interviewing with the Giants, Browns, and Dolphins.

 

Eagles make a lot of sense to me.

I dont know if I would want to jump into a job with Glass Bradford as my QB, but Gase is supposedly the whisperer

I agree. Broncos have a number of young, above average defensive players who would fill needs on the Bears. And they also have Osweiller to pay (presume they are going to...but maybe they are going to go another direction). I don't know their cap situation but they are going to lose at least a few pieces.

I would be stunned if Osweiller doesn't get a decent size offer from someone. Not saying mega money, but QB's get paid, and someone who has crappy QB play is going to have seen enough of Brock to think he could take steps forward and be their QB.

Houston

Early weather reports for Sunday at noon in Minneapolis, 0 degrees with wind chill of -15 to -20.

I think the Broncos could also cut Ware a save 10 million next year. Which I'm sure they will.

Sean Payton will stay in New Orleans

Here's a fun fact....

 

JJ Watt had a sack every 54.17 play. Lamarr Houston had one every 54.14.

 

 

Eagles have offered Gase

 

@darrendegaetano

 

Now told as much that the #Eagles have officially offered Adam Gase the job and that he is discussing with his family. Solid source I trust.

Houston just got credit for a sack from Sunday, giving him a season total of 8. That may bolster that stat.

Where'd you see this at?

 

That would give him a sack every 47.4 snaps. Obviously things probably wouldn't play out this way, but if he played the same number of snaps as Watt at that pace, he would have had 20 sacks.

Lovie Smith was just fired as HC of the Bucs.

Lovie could never do offense. Too bad, with the right OC, he had a chance to be good.

 

wait. Why does a guy who took a 2-14 team and got them to 6-10 deserve to be fired?

 

Someone in that front office has to go.
