skinny21 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I’ve been pretty impressed with Hudson this season. Anyone else notice him being quite… demonstrative last game? Very curious what that was about - seemed like much of it was directed at the sideline? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWinzit Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I posted here yesterday of my concerns FA's will not want to come to Washington due to their full expected turnover and poor facilities. Now that I have seen this new regime in action really on day one with kicking RR to the curb, I am back peddling. The agents and FA's will take note of how they jumped into action with a serious no holds barred plan. What a professional feel for this organization that I don't recall since Gibbs moved into racing 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what that was about too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's smaller than those cats, but he can at least cover (something Mayo was allergic too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 While there will be plenty of franchise tags this is a loaded FA class O-line and defense should be the focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's smaller than those cats, but he can at least cover (something Mayo was allergic too). Wonder if that was a Del Rio vs Rivera thing (he played a lot the last 4 weeks), or due to how he looked when Barton was out (IIRC Barton missed some time recently?). 11 minutes ago, Skins199021 said: While there will be plenty of franchise tags this is a loaded FA class O-line and defense should be the focus I know Speilman isn’t our GM, but it’ll be interesting to see how we play things in FA given he said to Keim he strongly believes FA is to supplement, whereas Harris seems to want to turn this around in a hurry. Obviously those points don’t necessarily oppose each other, but I could see going a bit lighter on FA than we might expect… at least until after a year of evaluation and getting everyone’s feet wet (the staff, new QB, etc). And not that in should inhibit us from spending, but there’s also the idea of extending some of our own in the near future. Beyond Cosmi, I’m not sure who is likely to fit that bill though. Actually kind of shocking how few guys I see as potentially worth extending down the line… maybe Forrest? Of course, any contracts we sign wrap up before any of their own drafted guys will be due 2nd contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Well free agency isn’t the devil. If you tried building a team without FAs you are you running a team with one hand tied behind your back The key is not paying washed up guys in FA or bad fits we should use it extensively along with the draft Edited January 9 by Skins199021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 What's interesting, we've primarily built through the draft since 2010. The FA spending sprees essentially ended when Bruce got here, and continued through Rivera. The only prominent FAs on our roster last year were: QB: Brissett (backup QB) RB: None. All were drafted. WR: Samuel, Pringle if you want to call him "prominent" TE: Logan Thomas, who was a bargain basement signing who worked out in 2020 DL: None. LB: Barton, who was a bargain bin signing CB: Depending on how you classify it, Fuller, but we did draft him. We drafted all the others. Safety: None. We drafted all of them. This isn't really new. There have been some FAs in the last 13 years, but not a ton. And it wasn't the primary way the team was built. We built through the draft. We just did it badly. I firmly believe we need to be aggressive in both FA and the draft. We've been way too passive since 2010. Attack success. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens have had some notable examples of this over the past few years with Calais Campbell, Justin Houston and Morgan Moses. Not only do they provide value relative to cost but they also help fill the much needed leadership void has had for years. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 All that money in the middle of our DL and they can’t exceed 66 PFF. Obviously PFF isn’t the end all be all, but it jives with what many of us were seeing most of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a little bit of injury, and playing for sinking ships gets old. But not sure really. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
