Missed FGs in 6 of 9 games I think. That is pretty unacceptable

It's been a year full of inconsistencies across the board - coaching, offense, defense, special teams - you name it. Obviously Hopkins isn't the only reason this team is 2-7, but if he makes those FGs in the Giants game and the Lions game, this team is 4-5, tied for the 8th best record in the conference, one game out of the wild card, and in the driver's seat in the division.

Dang ... we have that ravens kicker/punter guy on our PS - Kaare Vedvik??

Hes the guy I was talking about in terms of 1 guy who can placekick and punt so you save an extra roster spot. hes supposed to have a big leg.

Fuck yeah ... I want to see this guy. Hes bounced around teams so thats not a good sign but hell yeah.

Bostic is always lost in space, dude just can't cover. He's the new Perry Riley.

[SunnySide]

Saahdiq Charles to season ending IR for surgery on his knee for a dislocated knee cap (that must have been a serious dislocation to require surgery).

Kyle Allen to season ending IR for surgery on his ankle.

-----------------------

Chase Roullier is a FA next year ... I wasnt a huge Roullier believer thinking we could find equivalent play elsewhere if needed but now I want him signed.

-----------------

Bostic is a limited player, we knew that going into this season, he shouldnt be asked to cover bc he cant cover. Hes a north south plug the run hole player. We probably need more well rounded LBs bc you cant hide Bostic from coverage every snap, just impossible.

KPL is a stop gap and Hamilton should have taken over as starting MLB by now if he was good enough. I like keeping Bostic on as mentor to fresh guys as he's not useless, but we need a new guy with Holcomb's attitude/application on the other side and an enforcer in the middle. Best MLB's in FA are likely resigned so I think that's where we look in the draft; it's a big enough need that unless you find a diamond in the FA rough, I would want a fresh hungry athlete out of college rather than another 2nd tier guy. Foster might have been that guy if he'd gotten healthy.

Looking at what’s available in free agency this offseason, it’s a lot of nothing. I do think there is a good chance a vet could be cut in a cap move, but the draft is the only spot where I would add.

I’ve previewed some upcoming free agents positions...tight ends, Safety, WR have some decent options in places where a need exists.

Yeah I'm hoping the Bears don't re-sign Robinson; I'd go after him like a shot. Maybe Godwin if the Buccs can't bring him back - versatile.

I've already said I'd go after Simmons or Harris at S, but only really good TE I see as possibly available will be Henry and I'm betting the Bolts lock him up. Who else would you go for?

I wouldn’t go big money at free safety, better value fs vets.

Zack Ertz isn’t coming back to philly...he would be my target if Henry resigns (which I’m not sold he will).

Mo Allie Cox in Indy can play and would be a guy I’d give strong consideration as a mid level contract.

Henry
Ertz
Cox

My WR is Curtis Samuel at Carolina...can play inside and out. Good size with speed. I’d look at TY Hilton or Brandin Cooks if they are released as well.

[AnonEmouse]

I forgot about Ertz, but will he come here? I like Cox, but he seems more akin to Thomas than an upgrade, though he does have more upside.

Forgot about Samuel, and yes I'd take him or Hilton, but Cooks has had the chance to replace Hopkins (not literally!) in Houston and he's done next to nothing; seems a journeyman to me. Then again they are playing badly so...

If you brought in Ertz and Curtis Samuel as weapons next year to go along with Terry.... Emerging guys like Thomas, the Sims bros and Isaiah Wright another year in the system

Suddenly you have a strong nucleus of pass catching talent.

Don't forget about Kelvin Harmon returning.
