two drink minimum Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 1 hour ago, ReggieBush said: Our Oline going into next season will look something like this LT: Joeckel- had a tough time with injuries in Jacksonville, but the potential, technique, and feet are there for him to be effective. LG: Glowinski C: Britt RG: Ifedi - These guys were decent last season. When they played well, they played really well. They are going to get better (especially Ifedi, it is SO HARD to step in and start day one for an NFL team on the OLine, especially coming from a spread offense at A+M) working with a fantastic Oline coach in Cable RT: I am going to put Pocic at RT for now because he has proved he can play here. He has not allowed a sack the past 2 seasons at LSU and has the length and knowledge to play anywhere on the line. A really good get from the Hawks. If our line is average next season, we are winning the Super Bowl. I also wanted to talk about our Dline next year. We could have some sets where we will have Clark-Bennett-McDowell-Avril on the field in a passing situation. How scary is that for other teams in the NFL? I am higher on McDowell than most because I have seen him take over games. Look at his sophomore tape. Scary good. Joke'el had a tough time because he's terrible, total turnstile. When the O-line played well they played really well?? Yeah but the problem is, that was so rare that its worthless to bring up. As good as he is Cable cant keep making chicken salad out of chicken sh**. Last year proved that The defensive is not what it used to be. Age and injuries are catching up. Kam and Thomas both injured and missed games the last two years. Sherman has lost a step and Bennett and Avril are both over 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Been a good draft so far for the Seahawks. Addressed our OLine needs. Then we pick up a good solid interior LB in McDowell with our first pick. picked up Pocic to fill in for C though he can play LT or RT plus his teammate WR Darboh. Tyson and Senior are good additions as well. Excited to see all these kids work in our system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance he makes the roster next year? He is here to take DGBs spot unless he improves drastically. Gibson is there to push Agholor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I see the 49ers trolled the bears hard. I don't think they were ever interested in Mr. Biscuit but they sure gave reporters that idea and the Bears fell for it hook line and sinker. Browns didn't blow the first pick - I am shocked lol.

ice orca Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I like what my Giants did, targeted the guys they needed and didn't chase around. Got a great route running tight end who will make that receiving corps a match up nightmare for defenses. Got a big 300lb+ bully from Alabama for the interior on the d-line.

ReggieBush Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Forgot to mention this, Justin Forsett retired. He was one of my favorite players growing up. Small guy, real good burst, and hands out of the backfield, he was the player that most replicated my play style as well. Carved out a really nice career. I still rock my Seahawks Forsett jersey to this day (I wore it yesterday). Thanks for the memories Justin!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 What happened to Christin Michael? Still hasn't matured down to last chance in the league. Turning 27 still has a couple years left injury prone not a great blocker or pass catcher. He reminds me of a poor man's Ryan Matthews the SD version. Has some power and speed but makes bonehead decisions and plays like fumbling. Probably best in a 3-4 RB committee. Could be a low risk cheap option for teams who missed on on an RB in the draft. Still some good free agents left in right situation. Blount would be a good fit on the Giants to pair with scat back Perkins as an early down short yardage pounder. I wonder if Eagles will cut Ryan Matthews once he can pass his physical and they go with Cory Clement to be part of the RB committee. My one beef with Eagles this offseason is not finding a #1 RB through draft,trade, or free agency. Next year another good top 3.

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Bills hire Beane as general manager ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Carolina connection continues for the Buffalo Bills in their off-season front-office overhaul. Panthers assistant general manager Brandon Beane was hired on Tuesday to fill the Bills' GM vacancy in yet another indication of rookie head coach Sean McDermott's growing influence over team decisions. Beane's hiring did not come as a surprise and completes a short search process, which began after team owner Terry Pegula fired GM Doug Whaley and his entire scouting staff the day after completing the NFL draft. The hiring also continues a house-cleaning that began with McDermott replacing Rex Ryan, who was fired in the final week of last season. The 40-year-old Beane has spent his entire 19-season NFL career working up the Panthers' ranks, including the past two working under general manager Dave Gettleman. It's in Carolina where Beane had direct ties to McDermott, who spent the previous six seasons as Panthers defensive co-ordinator. "Brandon stood out to Kim and as I as he embodies the type of leader and type of person we want in our organization," Pegula said, referring to his wife, Kim Pegula, who took part in the search. "We feel his vast understanding and experience in many facets of football operations will be invaluable to our club moving forward." Beane's familiarity with McDermott also helps, and made him the front-runner during what became a cursory search process in which just four candidates had formal interviews. Green Bay Packers player personnel director Brian Gutekunst, Houston Texans player-personnel director Brian Gaine, and Philadelphia Eagles college scouting director Trey Brown were also interviewed by the Bills. Beane brings with him a wealth of experience in scouting, draft selections and contract negotiations. He spent seven years as Panthers director of football operations and was the team's interim general manager over the final 10 games of the 2012 season after Marty Hurney was fired. Panthers coach Ron Rivera praised the job Beane did in Carolina, and wished him well in Buffalo. "Brandon has worked in a number of roles, so he sees the whole picture in terms of how an organization works," Rivera told The Associated Press. "We have developed a great working relationship. I'm very excited for him." Rivera also saw something in himself in Beane. "Brandon is a guy who started at the bottom as an intern and worked his way up," said Rivera, a former NFL player who broke into the coaching ranks in 1997 with the Chicago Bears. "That's something I can relate to coming in as a quality control coach." Beane will be formally introduced to the media Friday. Upon firing Whaley, Pegula said he was seeking a GM who would have a collaborative front-office structure. That was a clear nod to McDermott, the first-time, 42-year-old head coach who has quickly assumed a vast amount of authority over the past four months. McDermott has become the sole voice of the Bills in discussing all team-related issues, including free agency and the draft. In Buffalo, Beane joins a franchise in the midst of yet another front-office overhaul during what's now a 17-year playoff drought — the longest active streak in North America's four pro leagues. Beane becomes the Bills' seventh GM since the drought began in 2000. His first priority will be hiring a scouting staff, including filling the team's two pro and amateur positions. In four seasons under Whaley, the Bills were second-guessed on their draft selections and for overspending on players, which led to salary-cap constraints. Whaley was criticized for giving up two picks, including a 2015 first-round selection, to trade up five spots and pick receiver Sammy Watkins fourth overall in 2014. In September 2015, the Bills signed Marcell Dareus to a six-year, $100-plus-million contract extension despite the defensive tackle's string of off-field troubles, most notably involving positive drug tests. Dareus missed the first four games of last season while serving an NFL suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy for a second consecutive year. The Bills are coming off a 7-9 finish. Their defence proved porous and their offence was inconsistent despite leading the NFL in yards rushing for a second consecutive season. Long-term stability at quarterback remains a question mark even though starter Tyrod Taylor returns for a third season, but only after taking a pay cut in restructuring his contract in March. Whaley's authority began to diminish once McDermott was hired. Whaley also established a reputation of having difficulty working with Buffalo's previous two coaches, Ryan and Doug Marrone, who opted out of his contract following the 2014 season. Marrone is now the head coach in Jacksonville. Both of the Pegulas' Buffalo-based franchises are undergoing front-office house cleanings. Last month, the NHL Sabres fired GM Tim Murray and coach Dan Bylsma after extending their franchise-worst playoff drought to six seasons. ___ AP Sports Writer Steve Reed in Charlotte, North Carolina, contributed to this report.
