So after Shanny took a chance and failed with T Jax from Tampa, you think he will give a contract to Talib? I think it would be a huge mistake

Depends on his price it probably would be a 1year deal . Id take it .........Tjack got suspended but no doubt he would of been good for us sadly he ****ed up but we are thing at safety,

Using adderall to focus on his playbook isn't as bad as performancing enhancing drugs.. A-Rod used steroids and is still playing in the playoffs (albeit very poorly).

I still would risk it -- with a contract that protects us & then draft young corners behind him... We need all the help we can get in the secondary. If we take TJax back & we have Talib, could have some potential

Thats the funniest part. Talib is getting the same punishment for adderall that he would have gotten had he been caught using steroids or HGH. What kind of policy is that?

So should I add TE to our list of FA's since we have no depth behind Fred Davis and him being hurt does make that position stable. Heres some good TEs that are FAs to be in 2013:


- Jared Cook
- Dustin Keller
- Martellus Bennett
- Heath Miller
- Both Raven TE's
- Delanie Walker

I honestly believe Logan Paulsen or Niles paul will come up so far Logan shown some flashes. our D sucks we should add coordinators .

Getting another TE definitely isn't going to solve the problems. They need to do some serious work and inject some talent into the secondary, OL, and WR positions.

Agree.

Off season wish list:

Tight End: Let Fred Davis walk. Draft Joseph Fauria in the 2nd round. Sign an aging veteran like Ben Watson to a performance contract.

Draft the best right tackle prospect in the 3rd round. An interior lineman in the 4th or 5th, a Rb or Wr in the 6th or 7th. Offense done.

Defense: Replace Hall and Wilson with free agents Aqib Talib and either Jason McCourty or Rodgers Cromartie. All tall, physical, press man corners.

Sign Jarius Bryd to play FS, let the other current players fight for SS.

Draft another interior linebacker or D-lineman in the late rounds. Defense done.

Amazing post...

TE is nowhere in the realm of worry for me looking ahead.

The best way to build is through the draft. Look at the Eagles D: Big name signings everywhere, no top defense to show for. The best defenses in this league have been built through the draft and smart signings... not big FA splashes. We should have learned that by now.

The situation you described sounds great, in Madden. Signing two stud corners and a stud safety is unrealistic. Our draft priorities should be DBs (plural), and finding a system fitting RT. Not tightends or d-linemen or whatever.

Jarius Byrd should be the number one offseason priority. I don't know what other options are available at FS in free agency, but I'd like for the team to spend money there. I'd be happy with signing a competent starter at RT, kinda like the Josh Morgan version of a RT.

In terms of CBs, I'd like for us to focus our draft efforts in the secondary and see what we have from the likes of Crawford or any other young CB in our team/practice squad. A lot of our secondary problems will be solved by having a competent FS, which we haven't had since the late Sean Taylor.

Eric Reid safety from LSU, Tharold Simon corner from LSU, David Amerson corner from NC State, Baccari Rambo safety from Georgia, Tyrann Mathieu corner/safety from LSU. Any combination of these two would be outstanding, and a legit NT would make me happy if we dont switch back to a 4-3.

Oooh, I'll be happy with the Honey Badger.

Free Agency strategy - wait till after the draft to fill out the roster with cheap/proven talent that might be able to fill in for a year

Draft Strategy:
2nd Rd. - Best CB/S available
3rd Rd - Best CB/S available
4th Rd - Best CB/S available
5th Rd - Best CB/S available
6th Rd. - Best CB/S available
7th Rd. - Best CB/S available
If they decide to add an 8th Rd. - Best CB/S available

Obviously a slight overexaggeration but this pretty much sums up how I feel about watching our secondary! It has totally surpassed 0-Line depth as the weakest link.
