Wrong Direction Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 No love for Chris Chester? You beat me to it. I think Chester/Jammal Brown will be huge upgrades, if healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswerdlw Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 You beat me to it. I think Chester/Jammal Brown will be huge upgrades, if healthy. Right, Chester and Brown! The O-Line looked athletic and in-sync. Sure, it's just one game....against a very good Steelers first team, but I like how they work together and get down field on stretch and pass plays. It was a great effort. I'm not sure Chester is will have the most impact, but FAs Brown and Chester together make a huge difference. Fingers crossed.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 For your sake, I hope the mods overlook this... If I ever start a thread and I'm unsure of such, I'll bare that in mind. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrelgreenie Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 If we're including Hightower then I choose him. Right now I think he's the best back on our roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidGQ Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Cofield by a small margin. I like Bowen also. But Cofield because he wants to play NT for us and not pouting on the sideline. This is our main need on the D line to run a successful 3 - 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oraphus Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Snanny has shown many time that rbs in his system are interchangeable. If Torain was healthy i think he would have had a similar, in not better game. Cofield is the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilco_holland Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I agree with Oraphus. Without Cofield we would probally wouldn´t have a good NT (Jenkins and Bryant isn´t a great rotation) rotation. I am impressed by Hightower, he just runs hard and violent but it´s not like he is the only persone on the roster who can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Direction Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 If Hightower is a fumble risk, he's not our best acquisition. One nice quarter doesn't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aireskoi Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Had to go with Bowen. He has played at his position, so he isn't learning a new spot. The Cowboys were planning to bring him back and have him start, so that was a double whammy. Taking one from the Giants was nice, but the have some depth at the position. The Cowboys are stuck with Spears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hightower will be a 1000 yard back for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 No love for Gaffney? I could have listed them all but I was listing the FA or trades of most significance. I didn't list Chester but I understand that he played well on the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Coefield or Hightower. I believe Coefield has a bigger impact on his respective unit as it wouldn't be hard to upgrade from what we had but Hightower will obviously have a more impressive stat line. I lean towards Coefield because much of Hightower's performance will be a product of an improved offensive line. They really seemed to be grasping the zone scheme last night. I hope that keeps up.

rockfan7224 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Cofield was on fire last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfbovey Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 You forgot Gaffney in the poll. I think he'll be a valuable possession type WR. But would still rank Cofield higher. Our defensive front looks so much better now with him, Bowens and Jenkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgiven Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think Cofield, but I voted for Bowen because he's a close second and needs some votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Cofield will have the most impact since our D was just abysmal last year. Though Hightower will yield the more direct results. As in stats, etc. But nothing but great pickups this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper 21 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 It's got to be coifed are biggest weakness has become a strength with Bowen an Jenkins as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Skins Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 You could make an argument for any of the above. Bowen, for much added presence on the dline Wilson, to take Rogers place at corner who will (hopefully) add some picks Cofield, a much needed NT to penetrate in the middle and disrupt Atogwe, shoring up the secondary and adding a true FS, the first since we lost ST Hightower, adding a true breakaway running presence in the backfield, and so far he hasn't disappointed in the least But of all, I went with Cofield. NT is the most important position in the 3-4, and that's the one position in the 3-4 that can make or break your defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 London Fletcher. I voted Cofield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have to vote for Hightower and I do think he'll be the best player at his position we acquired. But his position isn't valuable. Bowen will be the most valuable acquisition IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Cofield. Looked good last night. Being a Wildcat definitely swayed my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailGreen28 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Too early to tell. I think Cofield may be the best "new FA" we brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukes and Skins Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Gonna go Stephen Bowen here, think he'll be a force pass rushing with Jarvis Jenkins on 3rd down plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
