  1. He's up there, i'll go Cousins or Hibbert.
  2. How much do you think Champ Bailey gets? it probably won't be more than 2 years.
  3. The FO should release a statement saying they will beat any offer for Monroe, if that scares off the other teams then thats a good thing, if Miami gives him 12+ million then lol Miami.
  4. Champ Bailey would look good in purple lined up next to Elam...

      How physical was Ed Reed in his 30s? we could talk in circles here. Probably wouldn't happen anyway.

      Reed's lack of physicality was probably the main reason why we didn't bring him back.

      We won the SB with Reed

  5. This a bizarre rant, these are two teams that were better than us and made the playoffs last season. All I said was they know how to build an offensive line.
  6. We only need to look at teams like the Patriots and Bengals on how to build a strong oline year after year, and it goes beyond drafting and acquisitions we have to get rid of dead weight and bring in guys with upside.
  7. Because we make bad personnel decisions, the latest one was when the FO tried to coachspeak us that AQ Shipley and Jah Reid were worthy of roster spots but Ramon Harewood wasn't, it's like they think we don't have eyes.
  8. It's been real Eugene, go feed your family. As for our LT position, I would look at Collins, he didn't give up a sack last season in a starting role and seems to be under the radar. He's not as quick or mobile as Monroe but will keep the blindside clean.
  9. Gabe is right, Monroe isn't going to be paid what he's worth, he's going to be paid according to his market demand. Right now his value is massive, he's an emerging top 5 blindside tackle whos combination of youth, upside and proven talent is unmatched in the FA or draft class.
  10. I would too, but I think Mack will become the highest paid centre in the league, over $8.5M a year.
  11. We'll need a new guard if KO can't return let alone return to his previous level of play, it's not an ACL tear, back injuries are complicated. Gino is not a starting quality centre, he's the main reason our offense stalled last season.
  12. Monroe played very well, but how well did that theory work out for our offense last season? then tell me how much we can spend on a new centre, tackle and possibly guard if we're already spending $18M a year on two.
  13. We don't know if the FO can piece together a capable unit with the pieces we have now but it has to be done, defenders can be moved around but you can't move Monroe and Yanda with them. We're only as strong as our weakest link.
  14. Thats not the case anymore, defensive co-ordinators take advantage of mismatches and bring pressure from all sides, thats why a decent front 5 is better than 2 elite linemen eating up $18M of the cap. Look at the LT's on the last 5 SuperBowl winners, not exactly an All-pro group.
  15. Compared to Monroe, some of the free agent tackles such as Albert, Veldheer, Collins and Saffold are serviceable tackles at a more cap friendly price tag. Edit: I'm not saying we should pass on Monroe, just that it should be considered.
  16. You can find linemen with size and athleticism, guys like KO with upside.
  17. The best LT in the world isn't going to protect Flacco if half the oline is crap, teams don't just rush from the blindside.
  18. At 10+ million a year he no longer becomes good value and we may have to look elsewhere. It's not like he's the missing piece, he might block his man but Flacco is still going to get crushed. The entire oline has to be rebuilt.
  19. Now they get nothing and Thunder march to the title.
  20. More like wishful thinking, far worse blindside tackles were signing for more last offseason.
  21. Funny how most of the board thought he'd sign for under 7 million.
  22. Thunder would have fixed a lot of problems with Asik.
  23. At first when I watched him play I was all like... Then I watched his post game interviews and was like...
  24. Receivers with hands like Boldin's and Pitta's are extremely hard to come by. Edit: Whoever it is that lines up at TE, just please catch the ball thats all I ask.
