If he came dirt cheap, I’d take him as a backup, but if not, no thanks. He would def come cheap, we need talent tho. He’s talented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not going to play a ton of 3-4 teams this year. He doesn’t have Vince Wilfork going at him.” - Adam Gase. Pretty much confirms my theory that he doesn’t value the C position as much as others So when a coach makes an adjustment and puts a DT at 0, what’s the plan Adam? Confident in the offensive line coach, but our line as it stands is still well below average. Still needs to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because assignments might vary from game to game doesn’t mean we don’t need a solid center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gase understands the situation a lot better than we do. I'm pretty sure they'll still look to upgrade but what can you do when no one is currently available?

barnaby8787 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I’m not buying the center comment. Mac’s going to draft one. He wouldn’t be bringing in Erik McCoy for a visit otherwise. My gut says one of our third rounders will be spent on one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not, the OL, particularly the Center position, is about the entire unit. The Center rarely is in 1v1 situations. Also Harrison was the Center during Darnold's best stretch. Let's see what Pollack can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a back up TE is not the answers to our problems nor will close the gap between us and NE. We have much bigger needs and worries at this point of our rebuild. Rather our focus be on OL, Edge and CB at this point. Not to mention we have similar pieces to ASJ on our team already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize but what player currently in the free agency market will close the gap? We are a team that lacks talent, if a talented player is available and has interest we should pursue. No one would feel this way if he never left in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me like he is just saying you need a C who has good movement skills, and is aware of his surroundings so he can help others if he doesn't have a 0 Tech lined up right over him....... right? lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually him leaving I am sure lead us to draft Herndon to some degree so I thank him for doing so. I don't think he is that good nor as talented as you think. He is 27 which is older. Has never played a full year or proved to be able to stay healthy. Aside from 2017 is a zero as a pass catcher. Not a mauler of a blocker. He clearly has be more hype than performance. As I stated, IMO i like the guys on our roster better. When saying we have bigger needs - I am talking about focus or taking shots on a guy as ASJ would be. We don't need to take a shot on a player who has proven he can't stay on the field instead of taking a shot on a second or third tier OL, CB or pass rusher. Just my opinon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's a super dumb comment seeing as we play the Pats(x2) and the AFC North; teams that are known for playing mostly 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has more talent than the other. Just like Bell and Mosley have more talent than ASJ. I get you think ASJ is oozing with talent. I just disagree. IMO he is not a good football player and I would not want him on the team. Other reasons are just the icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I think Gase’s comments aren’t necessarily about not valuing the Center spot but more about not valuing road grater/power type Centers and valuing more athletic guys at that spot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
