Cheer up! You know how you hate that JRob let 1st round picks go after their rookie contract? Well, we just did the same to the Stoolers.
By all accounts he’s ahead of schedule on his rehab and should be ready to go. Doubt JRob would invest that kind of money if he had any doubts.
Him and Autry have a pretty good track record last 3 years. 15 sacks combined per year.
Davis and Jonnu will affect the offense but it’s not like it’s they were one of our main contributors. Henry, Brown, and Tannehill. Firkser almost had an identical stat line as Jonnu. Not saying they are the same player but production was similar.
Discards? The Steelers wanted him back. They are a team in decline. Why stay there? They didn’t discard Bud Dupree. You are funny man.
Lets be careful here.....Wilson
first - I don’t “hate JRob”. I just try to stay objective about his overall performance. We’ve picked up Dupree after an IR injury. Maybe it works out. It did for the Browns with Conklin (although more time had passed). But we let a couple of key O pieces go. Remember how Henry did before we had Davis/Smith at full utilization? Hope Firkser can do it. (And I’m unquestionably the biggest Firkser fan on this board.)
Glad we didnt wait until August to sign a pass rusher (vic is void since he didnt show up til then also)
See my other post.
Will be interesting to see this deal. How many years, cap hit this year, guaranteed money.
How were they key O pieces? I loved Smith, but he disappeared after the middle of the season. Davis had a very good year in a contract year. But wasn’t great before. Don’t get me wrong they have to be replaced. But not at what they were going to cost. No Defense keeps us out of the Super Bowl. We could afford to lose a little offense to get good on defense. We can now go WR in round 1 if we choose. Options are open.
1. Read my post again. “Hate that” isn’t the same as “hate”.
2. There was no way we could have kept Davis and Jonnu and fixed anything on defense. It sucks, but this is how the NFL works. No team keeps most of its successful draft picks past their rookie deals.
2. When exactly did we have both Davis and Jonnu at “full utilization”? Henry has been Henry for over two years, now.
Bingo... like Henry was a product of the great play of Smith and Davis. More than anything other than Henry being a beast, it was Tannehill and the threat of the deep ball, which we didn’t have with Mariota,
got it. Just saying that folks should pump the brakes on declaring this a win all together. JRob’s moves this off season are having to make up for some REALLY bad ones last year. I think JRob above average GM, just slightly. That opinion seems to trigger so many on this board.
I’m not saying that. Davis and Jonnu helped a lot in getting Henry out in space. But, Henry still did his thing when either or both of them weren’t on the field.
Sure, but we have the prerogative to be excited about this move. This is bigger than Beasley or Clowney. It might not work out, but it’s okay to be pumped about it right now.
Not disagreeing. But I’m cautious. He’s coming off injury like others we’ve picked up in the past. I HOPE he delivers like everybody else. And these comment are in the context of JRob’s overall performance.
Wouldn’t you agree that it’s difficult to find an NFL player who isn’t “coming off an injury?”
