Atomic Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 3 minutes ago, TBURGESS said: Agree to disagree, but fair enough. My reasoning being that our DI LB the last couple years has been used almost exclusively on special teams and we have enough good Canadian players to run down kicks now that it may not be necessary. Although it would be nice to have Wild, JSK, and Bighill all on the roster, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that Oko will end up being a cap causality and we’ll use Corney instead of an import there. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lots of NI DB’s and LB’s who can fill in. If we had one DI to use on D I’d use it on a DL. How many of those 6 dl games where when we were refusing to use our best line up and forcing thomas in, not starting jeffcoat etc though. We struggled against the run vs every team that wanted to run, for idk 3 years? Any time a team has decided to focus on the run theyve had their way with our D for far too long. The hurl effect. 2 hours ago, Atomic said: Linebacker, IMO, is the place we don't need to use a DI. May be right, but we all know mos loves to roll with a crazy amount of Lbers. I think we will see a lot less rotation of the front 7 this year, and smaller numbers of players at both positions. The Classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he’s healthy he is still a 1000 yards per 18 guys and a great leader. Hopefully he doesn’t have to take as many hits this year with Bowman and Demski on the team.

We have the depth at wr we should be able to help him stay healthy especially late in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not going to sit Adams/Dressler/Bowman to get a rookie receiver in the game. Flanders will play. The Harris/Flanders backfield package was one of our most dangerous weapons last year. I don’t see them giving that up. Not to mention Flanders has proved he’s an adequate starting receiver. Randle, and Thompkins were legitimate NFL starters.

Bigblue204 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I thought this might be a good idea. The coaches obviously liked him, and he just went where he thought he had a good chance of playing. Had a horrible time in SSK but hopefully can learn from that and produce in a new system. I like that he's being brought back however this can't reflect too well on Ross or Streveler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if they bring in someone, the only explanation can be that they're not happy with the ones they already have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
