MOSteelers56 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I'd look to keep McCullers. They won't let him and Hargrave go. Also, He's improved every year since Mitchell stopped coaching the D-line. He'll be cheap, I'd keep him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 McCullers doesnt move the needle tor me on or off the roster. He is a gap filler that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't get a consistent DT to replace him , they need better scouts. Hargrave will be pricey , if he gets the snap[ count the rest of the season.

If he is willing to sign at the right price, DMC is well worth it to keep around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it not like he’s anything special but as cheap depth I wouldn’t mind him back at all, especially if it’s reasonably close to what he got this year(880k). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 As much as we play in 2 DLine sets, I really wont mind bringing DMC back at a good price. Best outcome is that Buggs is good enough to fill that 3rd/4th guy role. Alualu is still a good rotational piece, so at best DMC would be a seldom used NT and occasional 5th guy. Im still hoping that we can squeeze Hargrave in, but already having Tuitt and Heyward on the books at big money hurts that chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to maven, lots of other players out there. Good point though, if he is willing to sign for the price and show up and ply etc.... he never held out or skipped practices that we knew of. 1 hour ago, Dcash4 said: Im still hoping that we can squeeze Hargrave in, but already having Tuitt and Heyward on the books at big money hurts that chance. a quality 3 DT rotation for that 4 man hybrid D front should help but it will be costly cap space wise . Look at 2019, Tuitt gets hurt, but Hargrave is here ready to take some or most of Tuitt's snaps. Depth will help this team in 2019 at DT.

There are always people that you can pick up to improve your team, but at what cost and are you sure you can land them? As has been mentioned, he is a depth player. He can get you through some injury struggles, but doesn't need to see the field (we run a true NT minimally anymore). DMC shouldn't/wouldn't be the top guy going into the season, but I am very content with him as a backup. Stop expecting all players on the roster to be a starting quality player.

I have seen over the year where the reserves are almost as good or in some cases even better than the starters. Thats what I expect, and it could be attainable more often than it is happening. Right now let dmc get snaps when Hargrave is tired, but that would be it. Hargrave is the player that will wreck blocking schemes but dmc could be a good change up.

Neither should be subbed in for each other and expect the same results. DMC has pretty much only come in for sub-package Run downs. I'm not sure what we're debating here.

Stop expecting all players on the roster to be a starting quality I agree...but McCullers is a very limited player. If we lose Hargrave, he isnt going to ease any of the loss. Just depends what he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he has been at the most, a part time player for these years, I expect his snap count to quite high . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
