UncleEarl Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, SF2 said: I don’t doubt Snyder can screw this up but the team is one decent player away from 10 to 12 wins. Hell, Dalton could have been that guy. Don’t forget, the team started off the season 1-5 with Haskins and ended up 7-9. In the NFC East. The only way Rivera will win is with a dominant defense. He will screw up the offense no matter who is at the helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|ArmyBengal| Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I've been living in the DMV for 20 years and have witnessed the Snyder circus as it dominates the local sports coverage. They used to have some of the best fans, but Snyder has lost that fanbase. That said; the name change, the hiring of Rivera, the accusations of harassment, minority owners wanting him out, a weak division and league pressure and this team has a new hope. Not unlike when Marvin was first hired. I wouldn't sleep on the WFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalFanInTO Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 2 hours ago, SF2 said: Now if you want to see a poorly managed roster look no further than Dallas. They have 56 mil in cap being used at starting QB, #1 WR and RB. The Chiefs have $26 mil. I think I would take Mahomes, Hill, Edwards-Helaire, and $30mil extra (to get guys like Thuney) vs Dak, Cooper and Elliott. I agree. I believe 50% of their cap is tied up in four players. They are screwed. They have been almost irrelevant for two decades, making the playoffs only seven times and never getting past the divisional round. Without their history and hype, they'd be considered a borderline joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycat Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I would at least thought we would have one veteran OLINE out of FA??? Hopefully we get an upgrade by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 The Twentysomethings. Instead of thinking primarily of need I decided to switch the mindset to think about who fits the profile of the guys we have signed already and who is available. Basically 20 somethings who can sign 3 year deals or beyond and be a part of the fabric of the team for awhile WRs Fuller (27), Golladay (27), Samuel (24), Moore (26), Reynolds (26), Perriman (27) Fringe Age: Watkins (28), Conley (28) David Moore is an interesting guy. Didn't have high ADOT this year but did last 2 years. High passer rating last year. Ran a 4.48 40. A good WR but I am not sure he is the speedster we want. TE Gerald Everatt (26): He is still young and if he came cheap enough could fit into the mix. I think a draft pick fits better OL John Miller (27), Ethan Pocic (26) DL Grover Stewart (27), Sheldon Rankins (27), Larry Ogunjobi (27), Hassan Reddick (26), Tarrell Basham (27), Morgan Fox (26) Morgan Fox is one of my favorites in the group. Active, could come cheap the Rams in cap hell. A great rotational guy. He is the perfect guy to get using the current cap situation. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FoxxMo00.htm Who am I missing?

Hopefully we get an upgrade by the end of the week. Missing out and not even coming close to one the top tier guards is a fail. yes, they would have had to pay top dollar but it would help send the right message. If we now sign lower level guys how is this different then what we did last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Warford is 29 now, will turn 30 later in the year but that's not old for an O-lineman. He could easily play 3 or more seasons for us. Trade possibilities Havenstein and Ramczyk are both mid 20s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get an upgrade by the end of the week. They need to sign or trade for at least two above average offensive linemen ASAP. Minimum one OG and one OT. No questions asked. I can live with them not paying Thuney and even Zeitler but, there is NO excuse to not sign upgrades. Clearly, Sewell or Slater is going to be the pick at #5 but way more needs to be done. They still have $21 million cap in space and that's without seemingly obvious cap space cuts in Atkins, Hart and potentially Uzomah and/or Bernard. With those four guys gone there'd be $45 million available. Simply cutting Bobby Hart would put them well within the Top 10 in cap space remaining at about $27 million. No fucking excuses. No Hobsoning the numbers. Get it done or I am going to turn in to one of these doorknob posters that just posts the same negative thing over and over and thinks it's fresh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claptonrocks Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I like the signings on defense. Cornerbacks who cover and bring the wood on run plays.. Saw too many backs run to left side for big gains... Big upgrade in helping run game against the likes of Chubb, Dobbins and whoever Stealers use.. Defense still needs a 3tech tackle to compliment Reader.. Defense looking allright now..

Rodney Hudson. Gabe Jackson tandem would be a huge upgrade for the interior..Warfield is another.. Ryan Ramzyk would be a Huge signing...

I want two or three of these guys (Jackson is #1): Rodney Hudson Gabe Jackson Larry Warford Trai Turner Rick Wagner Rob Havenstein One of these guys (Speed WR): Curtis Samuel Will Fuller Chris Conley Breshad Perriman One of these guys (Pass Rush Specialist-All Unlikely): Melvin Ingram Haason Reddick Justin Houston Olivier Vernon And these guys: Samaje Perine Quinton Spain Kevin Huber This should/would be doable by just cutting Bobby Hart giving them $27 million in cap space (fuck off with your rookie pool Hobson). Then, cut Geno Atkins after June 1st and use the cap space to extend Jessie Bates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im optomistic about the upcoming days solidifying these spots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
