RemoveSnyder Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Fundamental choice between Long and Bergstrom needs to be made. Based on tape, I'm leaning Bergstrom. I'm sure the FO is probably leaning Long. The easy choice that people would not question would be Long, which is the chicken **** way to do it, therefore the FO will re-sign Long. Long was absolutely ragdolled vs the Eagles. Doesn't have the anchor. Just whooped. And that was before injury. He's not going to gain any more anchor after a torn quad. Long wasn't the cleanest runner, mechanics wise, before a torn quadriceps, but he was able to reach the 2nd level in his own herky-jerky style. Now? Bergstrom moves smoother, quicker and faster than Long, already. Even at his older age. Neither have plus marks in strength. But I'd go with Berg because Long has plenty of tape out there just getting blown back on rollerskates. There does need to be some change with scheme style and philosophy of the o-line, imo. Either or both Callahan and scheme need to be augmented, slightly. Leaning: ✅ Tony Bergstrom ❌ Junior Gallette With Berg added, that's 11 re-signs.

RemoveSnyder Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Update Bergstrom and Galette. Alter Bibbs, as a RFA, it's easy to at least tender and kick the decsion until next year's camp. ... The re-sign number now to 8 re-signs of unrestricted and 4 tenders. Retain 12 of 24. Lose 11 unrestricted and lose 1 restricted. (my marks) ✅ = re-sign ❌ = do not re-sign ? = maybe PLAYER (24) POS.

PlayAction Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I hope Cousins gives some thought to that one big hit he took to his back. Does he value his health? If so, then stick with teams that are willing to invest in the OL. Otherwise, his performance drops considerably and he'll learn how it feels to be out for several weeks or on injured reserve.

Skinsinparadise Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Receivers: I think Doctson will still develop, this was in essence his rookie year and Crowder will bounce back from an off year. But I still think they need a wideout. Free agent wideouts include John Brown, Jarvis Landry, Allen Robinson, Sam Watkins, Taylor Gabriel, Davante Adams. Among them, I'd target Robinson and Adams. Robinson coming off an ACL but was a budding star in previous seasons. It's a dicy type of signing coming off of the injury and in his shoes I'd take a 1 year show me offer from Jax over another team. But maybe he acts like Pryor and prefers to do it elsewhere. Adams has been productive, I don't know if he's a true #1 but I am looking for a good reliable receiver. 12 TDs and almost 1000 yards in 2016. Not that far off of that this year even though he played a lot without Rodgers. He's got a 82.6 grade from PFF. He's the type though who might get paid big in FA and so I wouldn't pay through the nose for him. Sammy Watkins has been a disappointment in the last two years so not sure I'd touch him. John Brown is a decent deep threat but wonder if he's more than just a slightly better Aldrick Robinson type. Taylor Gabriel is explosive at moments but he doesn't seem to be a consistent playmaker. But I'd consider if I can get him at a good price. Landry is a slot guy and we already have a guy like that. It intrigues me though if Landry could play outside. He's good and can bring some Garcon like attitude to the unit. And like Garcon the dude can block. He can also return kicks which seems to be a constant need here. I'd rather go to the draft for running back. But if they can get Isaiah Crowell in a bargain deal, I'd consider. He's not a stud but he's in the 4.5 YPA range per average and is a weapon with his hands. I was just checking PFF scores on the O line and wow they are bad for all of the dudes who played center and LG this season. Not that I was surprised. Cooley who loves to opine how useless Vernon Davis is as a blocker -- that idea seems to be shared and more from PFF about Davis which gives him a low grade.

Est.1974 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Gonna have to draft a WR, can't see viable options in FA. GB will lock up Adams on a solid deal, why the hell would you walk away from Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been pounding the table for Robinson. He is my #1 target. Problem is Jags have a ton of cap space - thing going for us is that a lot of other WRs have played well for them this season so they may feel like they can afford to let him go vs paying him 8 figures annually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinny21 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 @Monk4thaHALL Think I’m right there with you (though I’m woefully lacking in FA knowledge). Couple questions: 1) is signing Breeland an option only if Kirk walks in your mind? 2) what do you think about Roullier? 3) what’s your take on Foster (beyond letting him walk)? Thought he paired well with Brown, especially behind Allen/Ioannidas. Replaceable, no doubt, but I’m wary of where we wind up instead. 4) I think Beau Allen would be a nice addition. Who do you think he replaces (or should replace anyhow)? Also, very much with you on landing a good guard. I think addressing that, the DL, a TE that can block their ass off and a receiver are our top needs (fluid though, depending on if Cousins/Brown/Foster re-sign, etc.).

They let James Jones, Greg Jennings go, granted they were older. I get your point but leaving in FA isn't really about any player pushing for a move out the door -- its simply they are just free to sign and they typically do to the highest bidder. Typically money is more important especially if you are poised for your first big contract than loving your quarterback. But yeah if everything is equal naturally I'd bet the dude would like to stay.

fordranger76 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Norwell and Bostic would be great signings IMO. Robinson would be a good get at WR and would allow us to go DL and RB in the first two rounds where we need to target badly. The thought of having Norwell next to Trent is the stuff dreams are made of but will they dump that much out to a guard with Scherff's contract coming up? Probably not but a guy can dream.
