I mostly agree with your assessments and would just like to add that although the sample size for Roullier is fairly small; he was the only player on the whole team to play 100% of snaps last year. I actually thought that he played fairly well. Also, rather surprisingly, the often injured Moses was second on offense (forth on whole team) with a 94.6% snap count. I really hope that we get to see what a healthy Moses can do, but I'm not holding my breath.

Very happy that Peterson was re-signed. Like most, I originally had some reservations (age, fitness, durability, attitude) but he's proved that they were unfounded. Very professional vet who is still a threat and can hopefully also help Guise come along.

That's kind of the point. Sprinkle is there to block, Reed is there to catch passes, it's too predictable. A TE that can block and catch at least gives the defense something to think about. <Edit> I see that Stormy addressed this above more eloquently, but my point is still valid.

These both kind of clarify my point; that Reed can't/doesn't block. I would like to see us to get a TE that can block, but still poses some threat as a receiver. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Jordan (as a receiver) but think that our run game would benefit greatly by using a more traditional TE (and a FB). Like I said, I don't really see us addressing this in FA, but hopefully we do in the draft.

IMO we definitely need a blocking TE, but don't see us getting one in FA. I would love it if we could land Hockensen in the draft, but I don't think it would necessarily be as a replacement for Jordan Reed. I mean should Reed even be classified as a TE, isn't he more of a big slot receiver?

@Anselmheifer You need to delete the quoted vid, mate. You must have seen TK's warnings!

I would prefer it if the number was officially retired. I realise that It's an emotional response and not a logical one, but I don't really care.

What a complete ****-up, but it could've been much worse. Imagine if the UK had adopted the euro, instead of sticking with the pound. We could be in a situation not knowing which currency we would be using in a few weeks!

OK, I finally read the whole thread. It actually turned out to be one of the most funny, stupid, infuriating, sad, intelligent, uplifting, personal and thought-provoking thread that I've read for a while, and I thank you for starting it. I need to correct an error in my first post where I erroneously used the words "religion" and "God" to mean the same thing, I've come to realise that they are not and that was down to my own ignorance, (I've also learned to capitilise God ). I think that I probably originally intended to just do a hit-and-run post to scoff at the silly religious people and move on. After reading it all I've realised that many of you are far from silly, and the subject is obviously very serious to a lot of people. I need to be clear that I still haven't seen any evidence whatsoever that a God exists, (although I'm not actually sure what form this evidence could take). I'm also at a loss to see how anyone could show that their God is any more plausible than any other God (mythical or otherwise). The religion side of it is not so cut-and-dried for me anymore and I'll have to do a lot more reading on the subject before I can decide whether I think it's a good thing or a bad thing. This thread has also made me question the label that I give to myself and after much searching I've discovered that I'm a Secular Humanist! It's a label that sounds ****ing stupid, but it seems to describe me perfectly. Sorry to bump the thread without actually adding anything of significance to it, but it gave me a lot to think about and although my primary stance on the existence of a God hasn't changed, I feel that I have learned a lot from it.

What about a 3rd and McCoy for Rosen, would that work?

Keith Flint (the punky looking singer) took his own life today. I don't think that The Prodigy are that well known in America, but they have been a big part of my life since the early 90's. RIP Flinty, you will be missed. If you know someone with mental health problems, give them a call.

I'm thinking that we go into camp with McCoy, a vet and a mid-round rookie. Let them fight it out for the starter gig and roll with it. Admittedly Colt isn't great, but neither was Alex, and if he could run this offense and help us win then so can McCoy. I'd like to see us draft a blocking TE, a big-ass nasty guard and also pick up a couple of free agent FBs. This should help beef up the run game (Peterson and Guice), which in turn should help the QB stay healthy. I don't think that we're a bad team (not real good, but not bad) and 7-9 should be thought of as the floor, not the ceiling. I don't think that we get to pick early next year. just as long as we don't do anything stupid in the draft, like trading up. We've got holes to fill and giving away picks don't solve it IMO.

Select it by clicking on the heading, then delete. You have to then post something because if you come out without posting anything, it will keep coming back.

I think that we pick up a vet fairly soon, hold on to McCoy and also draft a mid-round rookie. Dalton or Bridgewater would be my first chioce with Fitzpatrick near the bottom of the list (too erratic). I would love us to pick Hockenson in the first, then a LG, then a QB. After that an edge rusher and a few safeties, but ideally hope that they go with a weighted BPA approach, no trading up, maybe trading down a little. <Edit> I voted Trade for a vet by mistake, I meant to choose Sign a vet.
