Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?

Yeah, he can not be what drives the offense. In a perfect world, I'd love to see 7 or 8 blockers on any given play with two true TE types that can catch. Have two or three legit ball carriers moving around with some big play WR types taking the top off. 

We bring in extra protection all the time, it doesn't matter when the middle of your line goes "OLE!" And you got no targets to dump the ball quick. 

We need to use less blockers and have more receiving targets. Beat pressure with quick completions not protection for slow developing plays.

Now there's a photoshopped video of our offense ready to be made.

yeah he said he allots certain amounts to certain position groups, and seems as rigid with that as osh is with his ratio...both should be fluid and adjusted on the fly if need arises or you have an opportunity to upgrade somewhere....missing put on FA guys or letting others go because it doesn't meet what you already predetermined as your ratio...is just dumb...and makes your roster decay...kinda like ours has...

Totally 100% agree. You can have a number on a position group as a max but there should be no minimum. I don't like KW's cap skills.

With what he is about to make for 2026...what BO could be pulling in...tho I think he as good as gone with Osh back....need for a legit #1...Demski's money, oline issues and quickfix is FA signings...do we even have the ability cash wise to surround him with the best we can find?....doubtful...unless we cut and scrimp elsewhere and bastardize the roster even further to make the remote chance of ZC being elite even a possibility

But...possible way is to remove salaries of KOLO...Tomas..Kramdi..Wilsom....Holm...Gauthier...Hallett....they all outlived their bang for buck value...a few of which never deserved the buck they were eating

 

With the exception of Kramdi most of these guys aren't making enough over minimum to have a great effect on our SMS. That's not to say we shouldn't move on, but if you think there is meaningful savings letting them go there isn't. I did not include Holm because WTF? The guy is a very good DB. Also you have this huge hate on for Kramdi but he is worth every penny.  Every player needs to be replaced by someone even the above and they all get paid salary too. Your savings are only what they are getting above replacement. Kolo won't be replaced for even a dollar less than what we are paying him,  Wilson maybe 20-25k we could save with a rookie, Gauthier and Hallet are probably at or close to league min. We don't create meaningful SMS cutting the bottom of our roster. We gotta do it at the top and middle. Again, that's not me saying we should bring back any of those guys, just saying cutting them for SMS reasons isn't going to give us much extra SMS.
