SemperFi Skins Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Ravens released RB Justin Forsett. Forsett was let go at the end of training camp only to resurface with Baltimore a few days later. This time, it looks like he'll be gone for good. Forsett couldn't get anything going in his three starts this year (3.2 yards per carry) and was a healthy scratch against Oakland in Week 4. With future lead back Kenneth Dixon (knee) set to return this week, Forsett is no longer needed. The soon-to-be 31-year-old shouldn't have too much trouble finding a new home, though his days of being a relevant fantasy contributor are probably over.

Conn Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Feels like Forsett would be an instant upgrade to Chris Thompson in that exact role, with the potential to take on more of a workload than CT could if Jones gets hurt...but he'd have to learn the offense fast.

HapHaszard Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The good and the bad: Kirk Cousins Hot: Cousins has completed 72.5 percent of his passes, with two TDs, no INTs, no sacks, a 110.2 passer rating and 86.2 Total QBR, in first quarters. Not: Cousins' second-half Total QBR (40.0) cannot compare to his 80.7 figure for first halves. He has two picks and a 5.7 QBR in the red zone after halftime.

Conn Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 We must not have liked how he worked last season, and think it would be a bad precedent to set for everyone else if we rewarded him by bringing him back? It's crazy to me that not a single one of 32 teams want him, even as a role player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisxcore Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Just saw the news about Reyes... bummer. I was hoping he'd be another steal no one saw coming. On the bright side, at least Scot is willing to cut a guy he signed who isn't living up to expectations. He doesn't hold on for the sake of holding on. I'm more than OK with that.

Thinking Skins Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I wonder who we bring up. My money is on Louis Nix. he has the size (6-2, 331), and he's young. Plus he doesn't have the history of failure in this system. He's a former 3rd rounder who's currently on our practice squad so he probably knows the system. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/louis-nix?id=2543472 Quote Strengths Outstanding size. Commands a double team and has two-gap ability. Good quickness off the snap. Has press strength and power to push blockers into the backfield. Shows disruptive ability when his battery is charged. Flashes an arm-over. Redirects well for a big man. Nice pursuit effort. Strong wrap tackler. Scheme versatile. Weaknesses Can play with better leverage against double teams. Does not dominate single blocking. Needs to improve hand use -- punch impact, counter moves and shed timing. Limited pass-rush value (minimal sack production). Can do a better job protecting his legs -- is not as strong on his pegs as you'd expect and spends too much time on the ground. Conditioning and stamina will have to be monitored -- takes plays off and weight has fluctuated. Draft Projection Rounds 1-2 Bottom Line Despite standing to benefit from a more dominant senior season in South Bend, Nix, who already graduated, opted to forgo his final year of eligibility in order to provide for 13 siblings. He does not enter the NFL with momentum, having coped with knee tendinitis before season-ending surgery to repair a torn left meniscus, and too often his gregarious personality and media hype overshadowed his performance. However, if the massive interior defender taps into his power more consistently, Nix has ample mass, strength and athleticism to anchor a "30" front as a space-eating, block-occupying run stuffer.

It's been awhile since he was released from Patriots which means he's probably out of shape. I'm not in favor of signing a guy because he's a guy. Pass! Hail Em Up!

OK, lets look at another player then (although I like Nix), Bobby Richardson DE #68 (6-3, 268) One year of experience with New Orleans, started in 11 games, with an Int, half a sack, 20 tackles, and 20 assists.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RichBo00.htmhttp://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/bobby-richardson?id=2552677 Quote Strengths Athletic big man with plus agility. Has great coordination between hands and feet. Has long arms and works his hands inside. Looks to shed blocker quickly against the run. Plays with stronger base than expected for his size and doesn't give blockers a squared target for long. Played defensive end in Indiana's 3-4. Fires upfield with desired burst and plays on lineman's edge as pass rusher. Relentless motor with a desire to get his licks in on the ball carrier as often as he can. Eyes stay on the prize. Almost always finds and chases running backs and quarterbacks no matter how far across field. Uses quick spin move to free himself from contact or to come underneath on his pass rush. Team captain. Blocked a field goal and two extra points during time at Indiana. Weaknesses Lacks desired height of 3-4 end and desired mass of a 4-3 defensive tackle. Might not be clean fit for some defenses and could limit teams who have him prioritized on draft board. Shows some hesitation when asked to change directions to tackle running backs. Misses more tackle opportunities than he should. Must develop a game plan as a rusher rather than relying on just his athleticism and hand usage. Gets gap-happy and will lose leverage against run. Draft Projection Round 3 or 4 Sources Tell Us "He's a good prospect and with those long arms, that makes him a taller player than his listed height the way we do things. I don't worry about his fit because everyone runs so many sub-packages now. Just go get a guy with athleticism who can be disruptive. That's him." -- AFC area scout NFL Comparison Jerel Worthy Bottom Line Richardson's tape is full of plays and near plays thanks to his outstanding pursuit and his ability to shed and find the ball quickly. While he lacks the desired height to play defensive end in an odd front, his length and outstanding work with his hands give him a shot at that spot. He has enough strength and room for more bulk to project inside in an upfield 4-3 defense. Richardson's athleticism and hand usage make him an ascending prospect with starter potential.

Maybe we have and decided that neither is good enough. Whitner could be a good holdover, but my question is didn't Rapport say we didn't want him? Reading the info on Bobby Richardson, I'm really curious to know why the Saints gave up on him? Was it because of the DC change? I read some preseason articles on him and he was appearantly tearing it up in practice, but one comment was that he over-pursues and plays with too much energy. I get that being a problem, but he's a young guy who showed talent last year. You don't see many DL get 40 tackles as a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
