Yeah sounds like he should. I just thought the article was worth the share.

I really like Keenan Robinson.

I think he can really play in a scheme where he is protected up front, like in a 2-gap scheme. I'm gonna utter a name that is unpopular but Haslett's scheme was more ILB friendly. Joe's scheme doesn't leave him protected as often and then there is the question of how much injuries hurt his play last year. If we are gonna stay with a 1-gap style 34 then I wonder if imo our 2 best ILBs (Keenan and Compton) can play together in this scheme.

ILBs in this type of scheme tend to be more of the banger type then the run and chase type and if they're gonna improve the run defense the ILBs have to come to play.

As long as Griffin isn't cut he can still be traded? Is that right?

I hope we are shopping him at the owners meetings.
Even if its for a 7th round pick...we should control where he goes and get something back in return.

Upgrade the o line and our backfield will be fine. Really would love to be more effective running and running often. ... upgrade the trenches and work your way out...m secondary after that for me.... by now we are at like round 4 so dunno where we would go from there

[skinsfaninok]

when u have a guy like JReed things will be much easier on u, he's basically a #1 WR if u think about it.

[skinsfaninok]

Lol I love the haters on the nfl pages on Facebook all saying the skins suck and got lucky and kirk is not any good he ain't shit without reed etc hahahaha I just talk shit back and give stats and they hate it especially the Eagles fans

[skinsfaninok]

Our oline is fine guys yes we need a C and G but scot and Bill calahan will have that under control. Our main worries will be staying healthy enough to make a long run. Look at how young we are and all those guys already got great experience. We lost because we are not ready for the moment yet but just wait until next yr around this time when we will be right back in the playoffs. I'm not worried at all

[sdskinsfan2001]

My draft priority in a perfect world where each player in every round was equally good:

1. DE (Hatcher and Golston are probably gone)
2. NT (time for young long term answer)
3. CB (we need depth here)
4. Safety (Johnson was a bust and Goldson/Hall are getting up there. Duke is injury prone)
5. RB (Morris is probably gone)
6. TE (need depth behind Reed/Paul)
7. Anyone that can play special teams

I would like more picks to get a G/C. Hopefully Kory and Shawn come back healthy next year and we can get some depth in free agency as needed.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Clemsoning is still alive and well. Give up an onside kick and a kick return for a touchdown. And let a TE who hadn't caught a TD all year dominate them.

Damn, football has sucked the last 3 days.

[SFREDSKIN]

One interesting guy we had on the PS and just resigned for next year is Lynden Trail. He's raw and needs development but has nice size as a DE at 6'7" 269lbs.

^30gut I think McC vision with the personnel over rules Jay's offense. I still think Defense will be the primary focus this offseason.

But an injuried/fumbling Matt Jones and an Alfred Morris who is on his way out leaves us with clear Starting Running Back issues. We can look Chris Thompson who is another piece, who is another RB with an extensive injury history.

We need multiple Running Backs additions and like I stated before, I could see 2 new running backs on the roster opening day along side Matt Jones.

It must be a shared vision, I don't view it as Scott vs Jay. Scott is providing the pieces for Jay's vision, he's providing the pieces for him. If Jay asks for a pipe wrench Scott isn't going to hand him a screwdriver.

I would just re-sign Alf. I wouldn't want to dig a hole and then have to turn around and fill it.

And if they let Alf walk then they gotta be confident in Matt Jones as their lead back. I agree we should draft a RB but for me for this team its just not a priority compared to other areas.

Even if you go with Jones, my concern is the constant rotation at running back. The only success I felt like we had was either a result of the line earlier in the season or having backs like Morris get into a rhythm. I don't know many backs that aren't Darren Sproles who come in for a single carry and take it to the house.

Guess unless you get someone like an Adrian Person or Clinton Portis, running back by committee really is as common now as a WR rotation.

I agree, but it's like we let one back have a carry, rotate in another back. That back gets a carry, rotate in another back. I'd love to see ONE back get the carries for an entire series with another back coming in for only a couple of plays to spell the lead back.
