Without Accorsi laying the foundation for both 2007 and 2011, Reese would've been fired way sooner.

I want Collins moved. Over the Cap has him listed as a Free Safety which is ludicrous to me since he really can't cover. He seems way more of a rush/run stopping LB albeit a small one. Vernon spends more time on the sidelines with random ankle injuries than he does on the field getting phantom pressure and accumulating soul crushing penalties. I want him replaced... not just gone. Agreed on the QB part. I have no issue with drafting one that jumps out to us or riding with Eli next year. The only thing I'm opposed to is bringing in a free agent TO START. If Eli goes/retires and we bring in a FA to back up a rookie I'd be fine with it. After the National Championship I'm not really sold on any QB next year... especially considering what Trevor Lawrence showed and what Tua didnt, BUT they all have a full season to change my mind and if my plan actually happened we'd have trade chips to move around next year and get ourselves I to position.

And that's why I can't believe a thing that comes from PFF.

AWESOME!!!!! #allthesarcasm

I dont think he is either. That little caveat is in there solely to appease anyone who thinks Lauletta is the better option or the bunch that think the only thing wrong with this team is Eli.

I dont envy Gettleman this offseason but I trust he'll make the right decisions. That being said I still have my own idea of how this should work. Here's my hope... Eli's gonna be here in 2019 and Iirc u can't just have a player in the NFL take a pay cut without a restructure which would mean signing him for another year. Give him one more year and spread the current deal over this year and next. So Eli's under contract thru 2020 at HALF his current cap number(so $12M avg). That should put us around $44M in cap space. From there, bring back Collins on a "prove u can stay healthy" deal, bring back Corey Coleman, CUT VERNON'S BUMASS, and bring in the best C (currently looking at KC C Mitch Morse. Currently only 26 and entering free agency although idk much else about him) and Edge rusher in the FA market. Instead of sitting at 6 we trade back to somewhere between 15-20 picking up a 1st and say a 4th or 5th next year along with a 2nd or 3rd this year and begin bolstering the OL, DL and Safety spots. We should have 11 fn draft picks including the returning supplemental pick we made last offseason... without including any hypothetical trades. That puts us in position to make a run this year (and if Eli can't cut it... give Lauletta a shot with a decent roster) AND put us in position to trade up for the best QB available in 2020. #boom Thoughts? Counter strategy? There's more to this but I'm nodding off cause work was a nightmare.

Although I was ecstatic watching Alabama get torched, THIS disappointed me.

I meant 10 to play around with or use as trade pieces. I'm not counting the 1st round pick.

Can trade them as of 2017. We have around 10 picks now.

Not sure but there's definitely a communication and execution issue. I believe it was the Cowboys game, Eli pointed out the Mike and the whole right side of the OL ignored him.

Anway... I'm not high on the Sanders comparisons because that'll inevitably lead to a player vs player comparison and I REALLY don't wanna go there. That being said, his performances give me chills and make me wonder about all those that were saying we should've taken a rb later in the draft and question their sanity.

There were moments in game 1 where Beckham made Jax look silly. Engram was supposedly day to day and then that became 7 weeks.

Eventual yea. The question is do we have an out in Solder's contract at some point or are we riding the whole thing out?

The entire right side of the OL, Edge rusher (high pick cause Vernon seems to be making up for all the games he didn't miss before coming here), we need a real FS and probably a CB. I'd also love to see us bring in an Amani Toomer clone at some point.

Give him a pass on Manningham. He was good... albeit inconsistent.

This was also the case against Jacksonville. It only takes 1.

This aggravated me more than anything else Sunday night. Barkley touched the ball 25 times but only 11 of those were carries. In fact out of our 60+ offensive plays we only rushed 17 times... and 2 of those were QB Sneaks. Why in God's name are we having an aging QB drop back 40+ times when the OL CLEARLY can't handle the rush being thrown at them?

Fwiw he had a WR open he just will always have that Favre mentality to try and make a play when shit is falling apart. Those 2 were killing me yesterday.

Ok Skip. Or considering the conversation today... ok Shannon. Drops back, has to immediately avoid a painful death, throws pass, pass gets batted and magically falls right to Myles Jack... but it's all Eli's fault we lost?

Or, hypothetically, Beckham or Barkley go out there and do the same dumb shit the kid did and we still lose. The issue is the game never should've come down to this one play. We had plenty of opportunities to win and if this kid comes back and wins us a game with a return then this will be forgotten.

With a competent OL and offensive scheme we could've been.

NFL marketing scheme. Every team has a color rush uniform. We're just too old school of an organization to do anything beyond our all whites.

In a new offensive system with a new oline against last years top defense? I'd be elated with 17.

They said minor hamstring injury.
