Zampese was a coordinator during Jackson's first two years in Cincinnati, and he was Fitzpatrick's QB coach in Cincinnati. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Mc Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Kyle Fuller just got cut. Let's get the brothers together. We may get lucky, maybe he takes a family discount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have realized there was some connection even when it wasn’t a Carolina one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good ones always stockpile picks, so it doesn't matter if they get a bad egg. The Ravens, Seahawks, Steelers, etc don't need to worry about signing a veteran 30 year old OL who has one season of double digit starts because they've got the next guy up, and probably the next guy behind him, while they prepare to draft the guy behind him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsin2013 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) TE would be nice. But limited quality options at this point. There are, however, some nice T options out there should the front office want to add some solid depth.

Umbaugh21 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think we’re only going to see one year rentals from here on out. Can get linebackers, TE, and o line depth in draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 As I always say.... It's not what you know... It's who you know... I don't mind the player/coach connections one bit. It's better to do that, than give a guy a 5 yr/100M dollar deal. Then watch him flopping around like a fish on Defense as he lays on the ground. You use FA to fill gaps & needs You use the draft to build your team/future. Not a hard concept to grasp, gentleman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’m just going to say it, I don’t like the William Jackson signing. I don’t like that he’s almost 29-years old and we gave him big money. I know it sounds like nitpicking but I’m just not a fan of the deal. I think he’s a really good player though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be 29 soon. But he’s only been in the league for 4 years. So that has to count for something. Also it’s only a 3 year contract, I think it’s reasonable to say that we won’t see an age based drop off in performance during his tenure here. I do understand your argument of not paying the secondary a whole lot when having a good D-Line. But I think it’s a balance between the two, I don’t think a good d line will make trash corners look good, but help average to above average corners look and play even better.

But the NFL isn't the real world. Often, it's what you know or think you know that sets you apart from the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
