Daft Classic

Seeing as they release MLB postseason schedules as soon as the MLB season ends (Early October), they can set the schedules to NOT interfere with the NFL or any other events happening in those cities. There is a 0% chance of the O's playoffs coinciding with a Ravens game

I still am holding out hope for Will Davis to break out and we get Ramsey, and if both happen, I love our secondary: FS: Webb SS: Hill CB1: Smith CB2: Ramsey/Wright CB3: Ramsey/Wright CB4: Davis

Out of curiosity, when do we start considering an extension vs restructuring? Joe has 3 years left and if coming off major injury, so I feel it might be a little early to start thinking that. But we have to find a way to move the $28 mil this year and the $31 mil next year. I love Joe at QB, and I hope he continues his success here, but do we want to lock into something going 5-6 years from now when we don't know how he'll respond to his knee?

But heaven help them when they do. Fans in Denver and NE go head hunting when that punter walks out

I genuinely believe the Pre-Draft events are what will separate Alexander and Hargreaves. Both are too physically similar to one another and both have plenty of experience and success. The combine and indiv. workouts will be a major factor as to who gets taken after Ramsey

Being Realistic: Pitt is a good team. Always has been, and probably always will be as far as we're concerned. They didn't have Pouncey, Bell, Brown, Williams, and had a gimpy Ben and STILL almost upset Denver not counting the Toussaint fumble. There D is still something fierce but the secondary has taken some hits. Their D-line and LB core is outrageously good with Heyward, Timmons, and Shazier, and I assume their #1 priority this offseason is getting CB help. Fully expecting them next year if healthy to be a powerhouse. Cinncy got rocked hard by that playoff game. Not only did they let their once chance at success slip away, but they really need to take a look at some personnel. I doubt they cut Burfict, but with M. Jones and Sanu FA's as well as A. Jones, Nelson, and Leon Hall on the market, they could have a major turnover in the secondary and WR core. New coordinators won't help, but with around $30 mil in cap space, they can reload easily. Also, I hate saying it, but Andy is a good REGULAR-SEASON QB. They don't show signs of slowing, so I fully expect the Bengals to continue their golden run, even if it means tapping out 1st round every year Browns just hit gold with Hue Jackson. His no-nonsense system is exactly what that dumpster fire of a team needed. Once Manziel is gone and they either get Goff or Lynch, they are gonna be building something interesting. Re-signing Benjamin and getting Gordon back (Hopefully) creates a threatening offense with Barnidge. Assuming they keep Mack and Thomas, that line is still solid for them. Their defense needs to see more growth, but they won't become contenders in one year. I expect another cellar year, but the Brownies are heading in the right direction Finally, Baltimore. Injuries are our plague, and if we can actually get through a year without the entire team going down, we may having something nice. Joe will be back and hopefully we can field a line that doesn't get him and the RB's killed. Left tackle is a serious concern, and I personally think they keep Monroe as a final "Show me what you got" year. His cap savings are minimal compared to the type of LT we are looking for, and we need WR's and DB's hella bad. Picking up a 2nd round WR and finding Safety/CB depth early will be key. Pick up a veteran Rusher to replace Canty as the Leader of the young D-line and we're set. AS LONG AS EVERYTHING GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN, I think we contend for the division with a good chance at a WC

lol @ all three still being better than Owen Daniels But is this based off of each's limited playing time? I know they split snaps and Gillmore especially was hit hard by injuries, but it blows my mind that Boyle alone is ahead of Barnidge, Miller, Kelce, and Watson

I'd rather we wait anyways for Ed to join the staff. He's still friends and played with some people in the secondary (Smith, Webb) so they may not listen to him as a coach as well. Plus we can let him refine his ability as a coach with the Bills who have a good, young secondary he can practice with. Side Note: I read somewhere Ed had his problems with Harbaugh, especially in 2012. Maybe we did offer him a DB spot and he doesn't wanna work under him? I can understand why he likes Rex so much, but that coaching staff is incredibly unstable. Ed may be in and out within a year

After that playoff performance by Hoyer, I think Houston reached a new level of desperation at QB. If they don't get RGIII in FA (And even if they do), I think they definitely look at a franchise QB in this draft. They have a lot of the pieces in place to be a contender, but they just need a competent QB

It keeps me up at night, the idea that we went 5-11 and the Redskins won the Super Bowl

"Who do you want to win in the Cinncy-Pitt game?" "I hope they both lose" I don't know if that was from Mike and Mike, but I know it was ESPN this morning/week

I still find it a little odd that we keep hearing all these great updates on SSS, Forsett, Flacco, and the rest of IR's injuries, but we aren't hearing much on Sugg's recovery

> Trade Harbaugh for a million 1st rounders > Make Chip Kelly or Dean Pees Head Coach > ??????????????? > Profit EDIT: Obvious Joke is Obvious

What are people's opinions on Zuttah? Do we hold onto him and move Urshel to LG and hunt for a LT? Or do we let him go and give the job to Urshel and need a LG and a LT? A new C, LG, and LT if we think Urshel's not ready? According to OTC, Cutting Zuttah and his $4.6 million hit would save us: 1.2 million Pre-June 1st 3.5 million Post-June 1st

Webb will be FS unless we can draft Ramsey or sign Weddle. If we get Ramsey or Weddle, then Webb goes back to Corner or is cut to go pursue another starting safety position. Any of those options I am fine with as long as it means Lewis will not be there

The idea of possibly drafting either Fournette or McCaffery next year intrigues me almost too much to spend a high pick on one this year. Unless Elliott is plummeting, I think we just run with what we have and address it next year. Forsett, Allen, LT/West is still a pretty strong RB core without a rookie.

I would absolutely love Pagano coming back. Him over Pees every day of the week. No debate However, I wanna stay away from Caldwell. Everywhere he goes seems to fall apart dating back to the Colts, Ravens offense, and the Lions. Plus, even if we've already played under him, no point in bringing in ANOTHER offense to learn. Trestman won't be going anywhere, and we can actually spend the offseason building into his system. We spent the year in a strange hybrid of his and Kubiak's that just couldn't get going. The more we move to a Trestman offense, the more comfortable he gets with the play calls.

Hope we play the dolphins late in the season so the 72' team can come up and watch as we march towards their perfect season (I say jokingly, expecting the worst and hoping for the best)

It looks like VH3 and Nkemdiche seem to be falling on draft boards, so we could afford a win. I'm so happy it was against the Squeelers

Moral Victories vs Draft Position. Would be nice to at least say we at least split the entire AFC North, but I'd rather take the L, Get the draft position, and give the Bengals a better seed to then watch them blow it in the first playoff game they play

Depends if he's willing to be lower on the depth chart versus trying his luck somewhere else: 1) SSS (Good feeling he's coming back) 2) Aiken (Good Feeling he's an off-season priority) 3) Perriman Beyond that and how we re-sign players, its a madhouse (No Particular Order): 1) Camp 2) Waller 3) Givens 4) Matthews 5) D. Brown 6) M. Brown (Unlikely) 7) Draft Picks

Start two WR, Two RB, One Flex: Julio Jones vs. Carolina B-Marshall vs. NE Doug Baldwin vs. Cleveland Larry Fitz vs. GB Matt Forte vs. TB Cam Artis-Payne vs. Atlanta James White vs NYJ Buck Allen vs. Pit

I like the idea of having gold numbers and purple trim for the black jerseys, but those designs are just too showy and modern for my tastes. Its a lot like what the Seahawks did when they upgraded, but they desperately needed it (Have you seen the neon green jersey?) It worked for Seattle, but I think teams like the Jags and Bucs don't make it work as well. The Jags strange two color helmet, 2 color jersey is ugly and the Bucs digital numbers and grey collar into the sleeves looks strange. Our jerseys are pretty crisp and good looking now (Though I wish they would bring back the black/purple collars), and the addition of grey or purple pants I think adds an extra touch. That said, I'm only down for purple pants with Black jerseys otherwise we look like the Vikings

The only thing about all purple is that the Vikings have been doing that for awhile. We'd kinda be copying their get up. As a far as i know, no one has done black and purple, which I did vote for

Nothing can disappoint me the rest of the year: 1) We lost both games and are guaranteed Top 5 pick 2) Beat Steelers and Lose to Bengals for Top 10 pick, Get season sweep of Steelers 3) Lose to Steelers and Beat Bengals for Top 10 pick. Get Split of AFC North 4) Win Both games. Moral victories for everyone, Sweep of Steelers, Split AFC North, Top 15 pick
