While I really wanted him to work out for us, I didn't have much confidence in his decision making after seeing him on draft day: [IMG]
There will never be a another Troy, but it would be great to have another great S back there.
They're both 29. I think Dean is slightly younger. The thing is that Dean has consistently been a guy who gets significant snaps. Pierre really...
My understanding is that top speed doesn't decline too much by this point. But explositivity (explosion?) does. But I think for CBs, acceleration...
Not this year. Probably not ever.
This. Just like last year. Wait around a bit and get a vet for ~ $3MM/year. We're looking for a RB2. Who we hopes gets passed by Johnson or a...
I remember being shocked when I found this out (the year I wanted to draft Humphrey). Makes it hard to draft a C in the 1st when you know that you...
This. I like this move better than re-signing Pierre. Similar ages (29+). But Dean has earned way more playing time than Pierre, who's mostly...
1) I agree with you re: Harris. But I'm making the point that there were several "chicken littles" about replacing him. Yet, the running game got...
He was good for us last year. Because we needed a WR2. But we will have 2x real NFL WRs this year. And I think we should still expect a...
I'm guessing most guys will run at their pro days. The trend seems to be for players to do less and less at the combine outside of interviews.
RBs are a dime a dozen. Remember that Gainwell was just pulled off the scrap heap last year.
Presumably that's what this means. Especially if we don't hear about another signing. I don't imagine that we still think that Ramsey can play...
Not sure Darnold would have opted to come to our "rock fight" offense over other comparable offers.
My guess is that at least 2/3 of these decisions look good by the end of next season. One of Gainwell or Pierre will likely revert to the mean....
I would have liked to have kept Pierre. I think Pittman is a good pickup for a WR2. Who hopefully gets pushed for snaps from a day 1/2 pick at WR.
I honestly don't get the hype around Willis. He's had 6 starts in the NFL. Very little chance that he works out IMO. Glad that we weren't the...
This seems to have been the case with Najee. Who didn't run at his proday either. My guess is that a lot of guys who don't run at the combine...
And Gainwell is next season's J Smith (but won't be historically bad like Smith was). Gainwell's numbers in 2025 are going to be career highs...
I think we wanted to keep him. But only wanted to pay him for the role he'll have next season. Not the insane role he had last season.
