    Terrence West/Dixon did alright behind this offensive line, I think Zeke would have helped us win a few games where our run game was nonexistent. Like the Jets game.

    To be fair, the Jets d-line was getting in the backfield before West had a chance to do anything.

    The NHL is the hardest sport out of any sport to pick a winner come playoffs time, parity is the norm.

    While I respect about the NHL, I'd argue that college basketball is just as difficult or even more than hockey to pick a winner hence why March Madness is awesome.

    Found this tweet... this might be why parity is closing in the NFL. From Charlie Campbell(Walter Football writer)

    "The NFL edited rules to favor passing. Elite QBs became even more valuable. Decreasing parity. Thus same teams in late Jan over & over again"

    Or we could get an elite defense to combat these elite QBs.

    In the NHL do you know what the odds are missing the playoffs in the NHL? Just as much winning that power ball jackpot

    Well let me put it to you this way: in the NHL, are there two teams that are basically the Cavs and Warriors? And then there's everybody else? Is it like that?

    I truly believe Ronnie Stanley was the best player on the board when the team picked at #6. I hated the pick because no one wants to see a LT taken at #6, but seriously everyone that I wanted more was taken. I really think BPA and need lined up perfectly last year at #6, but still wanted Bosa and Ramsey before. 

    IIRC, I believed Ozzie wanted to trade up to #4 to get Ramsey, but DAL was like "Nah we good though."

    It was during a portion about roster building and personnel evaluation.

    He was discussing that they evaluate and make decisions on the following year based on whats in front of them. And since Wright outplayed Jimmy down the stretch, they felt confident that they didnt necessarily need to make a really big move at corner... and adding solid depth or players with upside would suffice.

    Based on his continued improvement through 2015 they felt comfortable that he would play at least as good as 2015, with a hope that he'd show improvement with more experience in the team and system.

    Key decisions like that, and him playing far worse can sink the best laid plans. Because Tavon playing so well could have made this secondary lock down had Wright done his part. But he regressed - big time... and so there was almost always one vulnerable CB on the field.

    And not only did it effect the corner groups quality and depth... and all the on field ramifications - the money that went to him could have gone elsewhere to shore up other positions. But its all hindsight analysis.

    His point was - at the time it was the right decision. With the info available, Ozzie used resources to sign a guy that played way above expectation to a very fair deal if all he did was play close to what he did in 2015. He didnt and that really hurt the team. But he cant fire Ozzie for a decision like that just bc it didnt work out... all the info AT THE TIME said it was the right move.

    Well said and thank you for this.

    He said Wright played better than Jimmy the last 6 games of 2015. So they thought they had quality depth at corner.

    He then went on to say, Wright stopped playing with technique and fundamentals this year, and really regressed. Him, and others like him, playing below expectation (and how they had played  the previous year) helped sink this team.

    He very specifically called Wright out for playing very poorly this year, and being a serious culprit in letting the team down.

    Okay now THAT makes sense. Didn't get to see the presser by the way.

    i think you guys missed it - he was referring to the end of 2015 when jimmy wasnt playing well and the defense improved dramatically down the stretch when shareece wright did play well - his whole point was they they projected him to play at least as good as he did then for this season but he didnt which they also acknowledged

    If that's the case, then fine my bad. However, it's not like he really played as well THIS season so that left me a bit confused.
