Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread Part 3
First topic message reminder :
Basically depth for depth, though I did think we were fine at RB with Richardson, Hardesty and Ogbonnaya but Acho wouldn't have fit the new 3-4 scheme so can't really complain about the deal too much and maybe one of those back ups gets sent off in a trade somewhere during the draft.GSC wrote:Eagles traded Dion Lewis to Cleveland for Emmanuel Acho. Decent backup Lewis, just not as good as Brown.

It's not the most outlandish thing I've ever seen on here.
If they sort their line out, and keep Cutler healthy they are capable.
Strong defense, solid WRs, two very good backs that bring different skillsets.

Fair points.
But you don't honestly expect cherries to accept that the Super Bowl is going to be anything other than Seattle vs Seahawks do you??

Eric Wright was traded to the 49ers
Cant wait for him to suddenly be considered good

Re: Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread Part 3
I'm just confused now, we have too many corners already. From what I remember about Wright he is a bit like Talib in that there is no inbetween ground, either really good or truly awful

Re: Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread Part 3
I can see someone from niners getting cut or traded now. Culliver, Brown, Rogers, Asomougha, and young Morris all in plans and to add Wright is excessive. Just saw what analysts have been saying on twitter, apparently an under acheiver who has tons of potential(he's 27?). Apparently best in man under coverage and so 49ers ideal fit but we'll see. Hopefully with a better pass rush, he won't have time to make as many mistakes. SF native too so hopefully a hometown hero!

I imagine we all thought there were a lot of better teams in the AFC than the Ravens last year.
I don't want to look like I'm backing the Bears though. It's just not a ridiculous thought that they could have a good year.
I mean, he hasn't said something ridiculous like "the Seahawks will go a full week without any PED suspensions".

Re: Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread Part 3
Wondering what he has done. Think the Broncos are comfortable enough that they can make the playoffs without him for a stretch but may loose seedings.
Also I might be able to give you guys soem insight into Bucs camp in a few weeks for anyone interested!

The Broncos won't be that badly off without him they are a damn good team. They have 2 games they can definitely win without him in the first 4 (Raiders/Eagles) and I would back them to beat the Giants without him too.

Seeing reports abt 4 game susp. I know I did nothing wrong. I'm sure this'll be resolved fairly. Disapp. Broncos have 2 open camp like this.

Never know. You might get it overturned on a technicality like Sherman.
Apparently was weed and amphetamines from his rookie year. Remember seeing something about the NFL holding off during Tebowmania, so kinda makes sense.

And Eric Wright failed his medical, reverts to the Bucs before being released.
His short stint as an elite CB in the minds of some is over.

He's not that bad, GSC. Kansas wasn't really the best place for him. As a fullback and receiver out of the backfield he could be a nice compliment to Doug Martin.

It's only a one year deal on very low money. We'll worth a punt in my opinion.

Only thing about RBs is though, once they go into decline, they seem to stay in decline. Bucs have nothing to lose and everything to gain here though so worth a punt.

Re: Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread Part 3
I did a video analysis piece on him for another site (will link if people want to see it). A lot of things stood out. You need very good blocking for him to be productive. The Browns actually run him outside the tackles a fair bit, their offensive line was able to get him to the second level and after that not many defensive backs will want to tackle him, they tend to either not tackle him or make a "business decision". He has better vision and more uses then LeGarette Blount did. I would say in some ways it's an upgrade over him.

Sky's deal last year was for multiple seasons.
Not sure about C4.

At least most of that was spelled right.
I guess he's still upset at Matt Ryan besting the Seahawks last year.

If it turns out that Harvin will be out for the season, a big well done to Spielman again! Now if only he hadn't allowed Winfield the chance to go, and he would have had pretty much the perfect offseason

Vikings looking good this year I think. Maybe you live or die on Ponder's play, but if he gets it together I can see you challenging for the playoffs. Tough division though.

He did get it together at the end of last year with inferior receivers, so that hopefully bodes well for this year. Having Greg Jennings to throw to should help!

Delighted with it and while it's only camp seems to be showing while even if the offense as a whole reportedly struggled today (I'm happy and annoyed at the same time!). The money is okay, Dominik has done quite a few questionable things during his tenure some iffy contracts to average players and poor drafting but he is a wizard with the cap not an area I would worry about.
Mike is probably in between a number 2 and a number 1 wideout right now, give him a couple of years working with VJax and against the likes of Revis and he might become the number 1 we hope.

4th on the depth chart at best so no real loss. Even then I'd rather have Ellis Lankster and Isaiah Trufant ahead of him.

Maclin may have injury like A.D. Really hope not as solid player. If true, I'm even more confident Eagles will be the bottom dwellers of that division. Already expected 8-8 at best but if he's out, 6 wins would be good
