RamRod 481 Posted March 8 Has a history of concussions but I’m fine kicking the tires on him. Could pay off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Car_Ramrod 85 Posted March 8 Not extremely thrilled about this signing. He has huge history of concussion problems. Maybe he’ll stay healthy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boboso20 15 Posted March 8 It’s probably just a 1 year deal so it’s a win win situation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DistantRam 44 Posted March 8 Obviously comes with massive durability concerns but could be a bargain. Let's just hope that he can stay healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember he tore his Achilles late in the season so I don’t think he will be ready to start the season. Maybe the coaching staff will take their time with him in bringing him back to make sure he is right when he gets back. That’s just my opinion. Tru won’t be back but I think NRC will be.

DEE RAWL 46 Posted March 9 I like this signing. I think it’s a low risk (for us, not him) and high reward. Hope he can stay healthy because concussions are not something to mess with. I also dont think this will have much affect on plans at the position moving foward because who knows what we’ll get out of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BEASToftheEAST4 60 Posted March 9 Yeah I mean I think it's purely a depth signing. Obviously durability concerns, but he's not going to be the starter, so there's not much to not like--unless this affects us bringing back NRC, but I don't think that's the case.

NVRamsFan 472 Posted March 9 Always liked Shields. I'll admit I'm nervous about his concussion history and even voiced on another forum I didn't want us to sign him because of it. But he clearly wants to play and I hope he's able to do that and stay healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be surprised if Kayvon is a cap casualty. We would save nearly 3 Mil from letting him go. He may not be right until midway through the season either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But man, if we can lock up NRC, our CB group is nasty looking Marcus Peters Aquib Talib NRC Troy Hill Sam Shields Kayvon Webster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But man, if we can lock up NRC, our CB group is nasty looking Marcus Peters Aquib Talib NRC Troy Hill Sam Shields Kayvon Webster If Sam is himself, he's easily the 3rd best CB on your team, and he really isn't that far off from Talib. Now that's 2015 Shields, the last year he played, so obviously there is a massive question mark. He was a flat out stud though here, best athlete on the team. Legit 4.3 speed, caught Julio from behind in a game from 10 yards back. Treat him right, left GB amicably so he's still loved up here. I'm hoping he finds the end to his career he is hoping for.

Boboso20 15 Posted March 9 Can Shields play the nickel? If NRC gets a big offer and bolts who would take his place? Joyner coming down and Davis back at FS is what I’m thinking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't want to take Lamarcus out of his best spot, hurts our defense in two spots instead of just ailing us in possibly one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
