He would lift our dense to the next level IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 couple moves we need to make ASAP: cut Elu - and sign Ereck Flowers- Elu had his shot but was trash. Simpson is a backup. Flowers be instant starter at LG. We need Parham at RG and develop him. Cotton is fine as a backup cut Vickers- sign Sheldon Richardson- we could use another impact DL. Vickers is a fringe NFL player, we need more impact cut Matthew Butler- sign Blake Martinez- put Butler on PS, Martinez is a solid vet and adds depth I think the Patriots Tackle could help out the RT spot. A little surprised we haven't signed a CB, with only 4 CBS on the roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we should cut Matthew Butler in year 1 and give up on him for a run stopping LB that excels at making tackles 5 yards down the field. Horribly shortsighted strategy. We have holes but can win as is. I’m in the continuity and allowing the current roster to gel camp. I can’t believe the vast majority of the board are panicking after 2 games. We will continue to get better and be in the playoff hunt provided we can stay relatively healthy. Stay the course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5th round rookie isn't going to change the long term future. there isn't no ceiling for Elu, Vickers... Butler might be a rotation player one day. O well, I'm trying to win now. Not selling any long term assets with these moves. Flowers only 27, he might stick around for a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that wasn't obvious coming into the season, then I can't help you. This team is suffering from a lot of terrible draft picks and FA signings by the former FO. Cutting a talent like Butler, do you even think? Guys would be scooped up immediately by another team on waivers. Lastly, stop beating a dead horse about Ereck Flowers. Clearly something is up with him given he's not on a roster and a lot of teams are desperate for Oline help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Suh, Fuller, and OBJ are still out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 We are getting absolutely zero push from our interior DL. We need to help Maxx and Jones out by signing the likes of Suh or something. Enough is enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And could use some help at safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like they had good pressure on Mills all day and he was able to find a guy every time running free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like they had good pressure on Mills all day and he was able to find a guy every time running free. I also think missing Hobbs and Averrett first game back plays a big part. Still want to know what happened on the 3rd and 9 in the red zone where the WR was running free. Both red zone scores on 3rd and long where unacceptable. 2 plays and the Texans put up 12 points and we still have a defensive TD. Net score for the defense is then 5 points. Good outcome against a bad team. From what I have read Graham just needs to simplify the defense to get rid of the majority of the problems. The offense has and the run game has taken off. As soon as they get the basics down then start to throw in some creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
