Luvu and Wagner. Davis has one more shot.

A lot of these moves like Wagner are about plugging holes, can’t do it all in the draft. If we signed Wagner to a multi year deal I could understand not liking it but come on people some of you just aren’t being realistic

[AnonEmouse]

I have to agree with Punch and MTK. This is plugging holes and attempting to build a competitive team for next season, on which to build the year after. If we get a franchise QB with the #2, great, but we still need to build up a team around that guy. We want to be the Texans not the Panthers; give your rookie QB a shot year 1, not stick him in the middle of a shit show and wonder why he sucks.

I imagine Davis will now be the 3rd LB.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they try him out in a Parsons type role. He has the speed to be a pass rush type LB. Question is, does he have/can he learn the technique?

Nope. As has been pointed out coverage is the one thing Chinn can't do. Pretty sure the coaching staff is aware of that and won't put him into the situation where the D primarily relies on Chinn's coverage ability.

Tackle and Corner will be addressed in the draft.

We absolutely knocked FA out of the park. We have 9 new starters. 10 - forgot about Ott. 2020 pro bowl long snapper. All upgrades. All under 3 year contracts. Still 6 picks in the top 100. This is going to be a completely different team.

9 new starters? I count Luvu, Wagner, Chinn, Armstrong, Allegretti, Biadasz maybe Ertz and Ekeler. Who am I missing (are you counting the special teams guys? That would be 10 then).

Im thrill we have gotten 2 baller LB in FA, this has been embarrassing these last several years.

I love it, but the saddest part of this is also that we have 10 new starters through free agency...Half the team (starters) needed to be replaced. Probably more...draft will be fun!

Agreed


Edit: I also think a top 3 round LB would be fine.

Davis sucks.

well that's what we did with Sam ..

As exciting as it is that we've brought in 12 free agents most of whom have a very likely chance to start, just think how bad that says the team was that you can change basically half the starting lineup offense and defense with reasonably priced upgrades.

I did read the plan was to have him closer to the line and rushing the quarterback. Wish i could find the link again.

Absolutely counting ST’s especially LS. What a fucking disaster that was.


DE Dorance Armstrong
LB Frankie Luvu
C Tyler Biadasz
RB Austin Ekeler
G Nick Allegretti
EDGE Clelin Ferrell - this is who you were either forgetting or not starting
S Jeremy Chinn
K Brandon McManus
LS Tyler Ott

Wasn’t counting Ertz. Wagner might not have been signed when i posted that. He is 10.
