So, you coast while you're under contract and then when it's time to get paid you "grind"? That drives me crazy. With his size he should dominate. He does not have that killer instinct. He is waaaay to laid back. That's who he is and that's Ok. That's how he's built. But I would never sign him to a multiple year deal because I know exactly what's going to happen. I didn't read the story. If the players need contract years to play good, let them go. They should play good or have effort from the start.

Punters aren't my thing so I don't know what's out there but surely there's someone better. Right? it's because the D looked much worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chieferific Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'll prolly get slammed for this but whatever, the Bungles have drafted a lot of talent on Defense. I'm kinda of envious. They are stout up the middle with Atkins and Billings. They have screamers off the Edge in Lawson, M. Johnson, Dunlap, Hubbard and Willis, physical CBs like Jackson (Dennard and Kirpatrick are questionable but the formula was right) and a Centerfielder like Bates. Now so far these pieces haven't come together and created a top Defense but they are uber talented. I think they sneak up into the top 10 this year. If any Bungle is reading this....my laptop was stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will compete for the playoffs. The Ratbirds have a very solid defense as well. The North isn’t going to be a cakewalk this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be making rivalries once again, better games to watch despite the outcomes. Cakewalks never help IMO, it's better to have a tough division and win it honestly. Of course if we get into the post season and play like we did vs the jags, then it's just a waste anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Safety... So George Iloka was just released by the Bengals. Linebacker... John Simon was recently released by the Colts Do either of these guys offer any thing to our roster? Can we afford them? Does anyone think the Steelers will give either of them a look?

jebrick Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 realize the Colts have some of the worst talent of any roster in the NFL and especially on defense. They cut Bostic. you want another one they cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the price is out of reach, but we need help from what I have seen. The middle of our D is a weakness, ILB and safety, someone help us asap.

VigilantZombie Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I definitely get the drift and I'm not saying that John Simon is the best option I'm not saying that at all actually that's actually why I was posing the question rather than making a statement I do feel baddest team is going to sign for clean a linebacker a linebacker whether its outside or inside to improve our depth. It would not shock me at all if it is a path Coverage type linebacker that is brought here to spell Bostic on passing downs. I am completely confident that Bostic is going to improve our run D, but have no faith in him to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I will say this turning on What Becomes of Terrell Edmunds, Bud Dupree, and Artie Burns, we may need to look for a GM capable of building a defense and a DC capable of coordinating one.

You can't hand pick those 3 (2 of which I think need more time to be properly judged) and leave off Heyward, Tuitt, Watt (whom himself needs more time to be judged) and Shazier. Colbert has done as well as any other GM imo. Good not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
