They have Juron Criner who could really use an elevated role in this offense and they still go out and get Shaw/Spencer to replace Williams/Jackson? So weird. whats weirder than re-signing Hurl? ?

mbrg Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 2 minutes ago, Mr Dee said: What? We signed an experienced Free Agent NI, probably for less money than before and people are bitching? How about we look at it like we got an experienced NI, at a good price, and appreciate that depth? I'm not bitching. Hurl was fantastic on special teams last year - him and Waggoner were a big part of the excellent downfield coverage we had. And the reality is almost every import starter on the roster is backed up during games by a NI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coach17 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Loffler's got injury history, and the way he hits. Matt Black would be a nice pickup. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Good grief guys, special teams Canadians have value too you know. He's still going to be making around $100k. Even Lochard made somewhere in that range last year. That's what Canadians get paid. Better get used to it.

The key will be finding an Import to play beside him. I guess you could find a NI to rotate with JT, but it has to be cost-effective...it's really not worth spending big bucks on... Did you miss that we signed drake Nevis this morning? He's the import that will play beside him. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Would have liked to keep him but we can find similar and possibly better for less. Possibly already on our roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to shore up ST, sign Webster or Landry Matt Black is a decent signing - definite upgrade from Macho. No need for good special teams NIs when we can sign worse ones?

Completely slipped my mind in the midst of all the craziness....yes, Nevis is the IMP to play next to Thomas. What we need now is a NI to rotate with JT...whether that's Butcher or whoever....we're good.

I feel the same way with all things riders, but gotta give credit where its due, Dennis is a big signing for them in an area they desperately needed help. I'd settle for them missing out on deane tho at this point lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rotated with big money last year and we all thought it was no big deal. JT is a great player, but he's not an every down kind of guy. Butcher is not going to fill that role, if anything, Butcher is the kind of guy who comes in for Nevis. He's a nose tackle. We need a guy in that role. If it's Westerman, great. If not, we still have a question there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
