SeanTaylorsaPIMP Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 -Dan Bailey should be called right away. -Two young dlinemen cut today in Mario Edwards and Caleb Brantley are intriguing but I think the skins are happy with who they have there. - If we’re all about raw athletic freaks at safety, I’d rather Obi Melifonwu than Troy Apke. - Both Jonathan Cooper and Xavier Su’a-Filo are probably better than Lauvao but he knows the system well and I doubt they excite the coaching staff enough to replace him.

bigdog44 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I’d love to sign Bo Scarborough and drop Kelly. He’d give Peterson a breather in short yardage (sorry fantasy owners) and long term could do the same for Guice. Plus we’d be one more Bama guy closer to hiring Saban!

And a bonus, he spent the entire offseason learning Dallas' playbook. Could help us gameplan for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I wonder if they put Marshall on IR and bring back Holtz to be a FB for Peterson and the blocking TE we’ve been missing since Logan Paulsen was cut in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey yes, at least for a workout. I'm not interested in Edwards at 6’3, 280 for our defense. He’s best at 4-3 RDE/strong side DE, not our D. Not interested in Brantley either. Obi got cut because he can’t stay healthy, and can’t stay in the field. Apke has things he needs to work on, but he’s just as athletic, is more of a FS than a SS like Obi and Apke has WR hands and range. We need to just develop Apke and chase other teams 2nd round mistakes who can’t stay healthy. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/12259/obi-melifonwu Quote Raiders waived/injured S Obi Melifonwu. The No. 56 overall pick of the 2017 draft, Melifonwu was limited to just five rookie appearances by knee and hip injuries. The hip issue lingered all offseason. He was sent to visit a specialist for a "lower-body injury" last week, presumably related to his hip. Melifonwu will be exposed to waivers but likely pass through unclaimed, reverting to injured reserve. If he gets healthy, it's possible he will be released with an injury settlement. Aug 23 - 4:31 PM Source: Field Yates on Twitter I don’t know if Copper or Su a-Filo are better than Lauvao especially because Lauvao is so experienced in our offense. They should be brought in for depth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See when I look at Edwards though, I see a 3-4 DE. While he’s listed at 280lb, he has a pretty stout frame. He doesn’t have the length or quickness to play DE in the 4-3 imo. Either way, I think we’re happy with our dline. I liked both Edwards and Branley as draft prospects so that why I bring up their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked both Edwards and Branley as draft prospects so that why I bring up their names. 280 is stout for a 4-3 DE, not for out Defense. Our DEs are near 290 plus. Some talked about Allen and Lanier being undersized because they’re about 290, and not near 300 lbs, 280 isn’t a big deal, I just don’t think he’s needed.

lavar703 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Sign Paxton Lynch. He sucked in Denver but he’s very young and Jay is supposed to be the QB whisperer. Take a chance on a talented guy who hasn’t put it together at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one position group I'm not worried about barring getting absolutely ravaged by injuries, it's the defensive line. Only guy who I would trade out is Ziggy Hood and I'm not sure dumping him for Edwards or Brantley would be all that much of an improvement. 18 hours ago, SeanTaylorsaPIMP said: - Both Jonathan Cooper and Xavier Su’a-Filo are probably better than Lauvao but he knows the system well and I doubt they excite the coaching staff enough to replace him.

Man how I wish Jerry Jones had traded up for him a few ago instead Luck boxing his way into Dak Prescott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
