Why would any team in their right mind openly broadcast what their true intentions are? I always find myself saying I should’ve mocked what made the most logical sense. I found it interesting. Considering JD thinks there arent enough quality OLineman in the nfl, that would also signify that we (the media, ect) may be assuming hed be happy with any of the top 4. From this, I'd think there maybe only 3-4 OT's that JD really likes and they MAY NOT be the top 4 consensus guys. Plenty of times the media has a 5th round grade on someone and we find that nfl teams had 1st to 2nd round grades on the same player. My guess is that of the top 4, only Wirfs and Wills are really kn JD's radar. But that's a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true... hell even the Bengals haven't admitted to liking Burrow..... i mean.... they have the #1 pick and he is clearly the pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said that doesn’t mean that he’s just talking about the guys at the top of the draft when he said his comment. He might think a guy rated as the 9th best OT fits his type for all we know.

Seattle has made a living off of having a type that other teams don’t look for. This gives you more opportunity to build your team up because you aren’t competing for the same guys as others. New England is similar. I like this approach honestly, less overall misses because we strictly targeting guys who do what we need beyond the traditional approach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where if we cater a whole offensive roster to him and then fire him in 2 years. We are then left with “his” players and they might not fit a system brought in by someone else.

Why shouldn’t he have job security? You gotta give him some time to put it all together. It’s not a 1or 2 season thing. Unless you see an epic collapse or something catastrophic you keep building. Your head coach walking on egg shells won’t do the team any justice. That’s not a recipe for success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not a recipe for success. I'm with you. I want Gase gone (and never wanted him here), but him being on the hot seat isn't going to help us. We've already made this bed and now we have to lie in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me I hope he succeeds. And we have a great match from GM/HC/QB /Offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah year 3 should be the year no excuses outside of injuries to Sam or other key guys. This is year 1 for me personally just because of everything that happened last year. That was years of ineptitude finally hitting us where it hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimuraGod Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Seattle have just signed a defensive end maybe signalling their intent to move on from Clowney. Will be so interesting to find out the eventual team he signs for and the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which clearly it’s all about money for Clowney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it feels like shades of Wilkerson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
