[trostol]

isn't the Jets the place where RB talents go to die?

 

[Prongo]

So have to think the draft will most likely look like DT,DE/Linebacker,RB in the first four or so rounds. I wonder if the Bush kid from Michigan makes it to them. He would immediately be our other starting linebacker.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Absolutely need to take a safety early.

 

[Prongo]

Schefty in 97.5 saying Howard still is a possibility. I would love to get him. Effective runner and is cheap. Have no idea what the cost would be? A 5th rounder?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Conspiracy!

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Absolutely need to take a safety early.

Here's where i'm currently leaning:

1st round: DL
2nd round: S/LB
2nd round: RB

[Chinatown88]

Typo? Or he backed out.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Typo? Or he backed out.

Bad reporting last night.

So far and away the best player to hit free agency. Incredibly happy I didn't have to deal with half of my dream secondary in Dallas even if they have 4 sleepers I liked back there. Sigh.

 

[Van Buren Boy]

So right Joe, so right

im worried that this fo is turning back to andy reid of how they are handling the roster because of the days of when we had a good running backs, andy refuses to sign a wr and we didnt get over the hump and now, it seems like the opposite, we have good receivers and now they dont want to get a running back?

i dont get it, that's how we won the sb, we had a good running attack and receivers, i mean has this fo have gone way over their heads into thinking that throwing the ball 90 percent of the time is the way to win games? i mean look at last year when we didnt have a good running attack, both of our qbs got hurt, struggled, you just cant win like that.

if they want wentz to play right and stay healthy and give him good running backs, that's why jared goff didnt get hurt because they had good running backs and receivers, they have balance.

that's why the saints werent scared of carson wentz because they had no running attack, if that doesnt tell you anything, i dont know what is.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Way better than Mosley if you want an ILB. Fraction of the price.

I don't think they're comparable situations. Reid/Banner were trying to win a Super Bowl with a WCO that didn't feature a star WR, which had basically never happened. "We don't have anyone who will catch 80 passes, but we have a lot of guys who will catch 40," expresses the sentiment. You just don't win Super Bowls with James Thrash as your primary WR.

You can definitely win a Super Bowl with a RB by committee where they make collectively under $4M.

 

[baudib1]

I think you keep drafting LTs until you find one. Given Peters' situation, backup LT is basically a starter (comparable to nickel corner).

so you take the world is ending viewpoing in sports other than hockey, nice to know.

The Lines are far more important than running back. I'd sign a good DT any day over a RB.

What's Barkley's sv%?

and i have no problem with that, im just concerned that he wont add anyone and we are going to be stuck with the same players last year plus an unknown rb in the draft that could bust as well.

 

[sa cyred]

Eric Berry was released.

 

[deadhead]

We have the backup LTs, we won the SB with Big V, and Mailata is a BEAST.

Screw RBs, build the OL and the RBs will gain yards, what the Eagles need is a solid trio that have pass game skills so they can use the whole playbook whichever RB is in the game - and they must be able to pass block, no free shots on Wentz.

what is today's date?
regardless running backs dont super bowls

QBs
then ol, dl and secondary wins super bowls.

john madden wrote that the old oakland raiders ranked positions by
frnachise qb
ol
then dl or corberback.

game had changed but this philosophy still rings true
