Cowpukes postgame finger pointing thread

And thank God we got Doctson. Lol. I know he could be potentially very good even great. Who knows? Im being a wiseguy. But I wouldn't argue BPA using him as an example of why it works at this point because we know nothing about him at this level.

I had no problem drafting him and still don't. I still don't think we'll re-sign Jackson, so he'll be a starter next year.

Good post.

Am I the only one liking Mason Foster at MLB? Not a pro bowler but a very solid tackler, helping us against the run.

I also think if we improve at DL, Murphy and Smith can do the job at OLB.

In an ideal world, I agree with you, but as somebody said, you can only fill so many holes.

Realistically, I think priority should be SS, FS and DL. I can live with keeping Baker, Kerrigan, Murphy(Smith), Cravens, Foster, Norman and Breeland as starters.

IMO Will Compton isn't physical enough but he seems to be a great team guy in the locker room and on the field... Don't know what to think about him.

I think Compton and Foster are great backup linebackers but only average starters. Ideally you want to be better than average at every position. Also, if we didn't already have Kerrigan, Smith/Murphy are pretty solid starters, but i'd prefer 1 speed rusher and 1 bull rusher, with the other guys rotating in or being used in our other (non-base) defenses as needed.

Whitner. Again. Clap clap clap.

I'm still waiting to hear who is available right now who is better? Don't you think McC would have him in the roster? Have to wait till next year to replace him via draft.

Didn't have a problem with either of Gruden's decisions. Remember Tampa last year? You win some, you lose some.

And last Sunday after the 4th down conversion we were all admiring Grudens big balls. Sometimes it's the right decision whether it works out or not

But I will say he fucked up big time by not calling a timeout until :11 left in the 2nd quarter. We wasted 15 valuable seconds there

We can't do that in one off-season, if ever. Some of these guys will need to stay for a couple more years.

CB - Norman
CB - Breeland
Slot CB - Fuller (I hope)
FS - Draft or FA
SS - Cravens
ILB - Foster
ILB - Steven Daniels, Draft, or FA
OLB - Kerrigan
OLB - Galette, Draft, or FA
DE - Baker
DE - Draft or FA
NT - Draft or FA

I stated "Now, I'm not saying all of these will actually happen, but I could see a lot of guys being replaced. Depending on how Fuller plays the last 5 games, we might also need a new slot CB."

So I agree, we're probably not going to have that many new starters. And Cravens could have been listed at MLB or SS, he will be a quality starter for us for years to come no matter where they put him. I just based it off how they are using him this year.

After 2 straight years of injuries, I don't think you can go into a season assuming you'll not only have Junior healthy, but that he will also be the same player, after not playing for 2 years.

I am interested to see how Daniels plays, he isn't a flash guy, but he led a great defense in college.

Yea I think the knock is some people were thinking Whitner still had something in the tank. He clearly is below E.

We need 2 new dline starters and we need to extend Chris baker. I'd let Ricky jean walk, and keep ziggy hood, Matt iannadis and Lanier as rotational/developmental depth.

I'd spend our 1 or 2nd round pick on dline and spend money on a mid range-high end dline free agent.

Folks, this is based on what Dallas has on their Oline...we need to play better against them.

IMO Ihenacho is playing better. But yeah we have to wait next year to improve the position.
Just saying I'm disappointed by his play.

Galette is far from a given. I just think he'll be the first player they'll evaluate for that spot.
