This is a good point NC. Its time we get a little realistic in our optimism. Yes, its is great to not have Gase and (insert failed GM) here. That was practically the bottom. We have a need to be optimistic. But JD is still a first time GM. We kind of like what we have seen so far so lets keep hoping. Still a lot of questions though. However, we have no proven reason yet to think Selah is a good HC. We can only hope. Lets remember that before Gase we hired two great DCs as rookie HCs. And they were great DCs, and each with a unique set of skills. But as rookie HCs they didn't pan out. Hopefully JD making better moves will help our new HC. Yet, here we go again with a DC's first coaching stint. We cant say "oh we have a great HC", or "Selah will fix this or that" yet. We still don't know. Were still at the hope stage.
I don't want JuJu. I would rather we trade #23 & move up in the draft to get either Pitts, Waddle, or that Minnesota WR who might be available at 23.
Drake to the Raiders. I think Carson or Lindsay to the Jets makes sense. I like Ty Johnson and Perine, Adams is okay, but the position can be upgraded.
Now that the NYJ beat writers and fans have spent the better part of a day talking about Juju, it's a near certainty that he re-signs with the Steelers or signs with some other team that hasn't been mentioned in connection with him.
This is Joe Douglas' response to any position talked about in Free Agency. You are right though. Definitely an option in the draft.
I dont think Phillip Lindsay is all that good. If he wants to come cheap then sure but you could draft a guy better than him. Its another example of fantasy football clouding people's judgement. Hes a dime a dozen guy but everyone had him as their fantasy sleeper 2 years ago so now they think hes better than that
Dime a dozen guys don’t rush for over 1,000 yards in each of their first two seasons. He’d be a nice option, not a game changer. But let’s not pretend he’s any old guy.
I wasn't disputing that he may have lost the team. I was just saying that I wish we could get a HC that is that good that even if he "lost" the team they still would go 12-4.
Oh yea. I’ve always liked Tomlin the coach but it’s clear that he’s got some holes in his coaching style. I really think Ben had a stranglehold on that whole organization.
That article was before the start of the 2018 season. Its 3 seasons old. Guys that lose the locker room dont have the success Tomiln has.
I don't like going into the draft knowing we have to draft a RB. Rather fill holes with available capable players before the draft so we aren't handcuffed to a RB in the draft.
I understand that, but there are so many good RBs in the draft, we could literally take one anywhere between rounds 1-5, maybe even round 6. We have 9 draft picks. If JD can't find a RB who will fit our offense in this draft, then he's not the right man for the job.
I do hope they get JuJu and keep Crowder. That's a damn good receiving corp and you need one to win in the NFL. Giants with a stupid signing of Rudolph. He's at the end of the line. Waste. Hollister would've made more sense for them. Even Eifert
