NFL Random Thoughts

I hope we get rid of Mario Williams next year.

Why?

I'd take him on the Bears :fap:

Williams and Peppers.

I don't know anything about our cap room but I'm sure he'll be expensive and we need to pay Foster this upcoming off season. We've seen that our defense can work just fine without Mario, I'd much rather keep Foster if it came down to the two.

Exactly what I've been saying. Mario's going to command a lot of money and although that running game system works wonders with whoever is in it, Foster has proved he's not just a product of the system. He's more valuable than Mario by far, especially when Mario was just learning the OLB spot in the 3-4 this past season.

:yep: I say we save any money we'd spend on Williams and instead use it to get Reggie Wayne:shifty:

 

[j.hen]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Super Mario in ATL.

I stepped out to smoke a cigarrette wearing my Packers jacket and the neighbor across the way looks up at me and goes "haha, loser". I am not handling this well.

The Lucky Blanket has been given to the salvation army.

Yes, Yes I am throwing myself into this NBA season to cope.

Wait, I'm a Suns fan.

FUCK.

(60 hours of NBA2k12 in a week is a go)

Quick thought:

If the Pats go all the way this year, it'll mean OchoCinco will have a ring before retiring while T.O. and Moss have none.

This makes me sad.

Damn you, I want Wayne (or even Garcon) across Britt in our offense!

In other news, Titans hire Brett Maxie (former DB coach of DAL) to the same position.

In his only season with Miami, Maxie helped oversee a defense that finished fourth in the NFL in passing defense as the Dolphins limited opponents to 188.7 passing yards-per-game. While under his watch, Maxie’s defensive backs also recorded nine of the team’s 14 interceptions during the 2007 season.

As defensive backs coach with the Atlanta Falcons for three seasons (2004-06), he oversaw the development of cornerback DeAngelo Hall, a first-round draft choice in 2004, who totaled 10 interceptions in two seasons (2005-06) and was selected to the NFC Pro Bowl during both of those seasons. In Maxie’s first year with the Falcons, the defense recorded a club-record five touchdowns, four of which came via interceptions.

Prior to his tenure in Atlanta, Maxie spent five seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, including 1999-2001 as the team’s assistant secondary coach and 2002-03 as secondary coach. In those final two years, safety Tony Parrish collected 16 interceptions, the highest total in the NFL over that stretch. The total included nine in 2003 which tied the highest figure in the NFL.

Maxie got his start as an NFL assistant in 1998 when he served as defensive backs/defensive quality control coach with the Carolina Panthers under Dom Capers, Maxie’s former secondary coach when he played for New Orleans (1986-91).

He has more talent here than in Dallas. I like this hire, especially since it shows Munch is willing to change and adapt if things are going south. Fisher would have just re-signed the previous guy to an extension.

I'm mainly just joking because it'd be cool to have a former Colts WR on the team to play against them. I do hope we bring in another decent WR though, Andre Johnson scares me any time he catches the ball and doesn't have a walk in TD. I don't want to be in a situation again where our top threats are the likes of Jacoby Jones and Joel Dreessen:hs:

Also I don't recall us ever bringing in any big name high price guy before. Passing up on Nnamdi to save money with Jonathon Joseph is a perfect example of how the team usually operates. They'll probably do this again on both sides of the field.

Or the Texans know how to manage their cap?

Yep, gotta leave enough to pay our star running back. Not that you know anything about that:seeyou:

The Bears are saving $20M to re-sign False start Frank Omiyale.

Resigning a backup guard became more important than finishing a longterm contract for Forte.

PAY THE MAN. :giggity:

The Jacksonville Jaguars still have a plethora of cap room, despite spending millions of dollars on the defense last season. At last nights "Ready To Rise" rally at EverBank Field, which saw nearly 7,000 Jaguars fans attend, new Jaguars owner Shahid Khan said he plans to spend to the cap. "We've got a salary cap - we're going to be up to the salary cap," Khan told reporters after the rally. "In free agency, you have to spend money. You have to spend it wisely. We're going to be spending to the cap."

"We'll be very aggressive once we target the players," Jaguars general manager Gene Smith said at the rally. "Just like we were on the defensive side (last off-season), we'll try to upgrade the weapons on offense." After Smith spoke, Khan quipped, "Gene, Mike... please do that."

The Titans promoted Mike Reinfeldt to Senior Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer after serving as the team’s General Manager for the past five seasons, and Ruston Webster was elevated to Executive Vice President/General Manager after serving two seasons as the Titans Vice President of Player Personnel. Additionally, Lake Dawson has been promoted to Vice President of Player Personnel.

Reinfeldt will oversee all aspects of the organization - both football and non-football - in Nashville and will report to Titans owner K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr.. Webster will assume control of all football operations for the team.

Rob Lowe (the actor) is saying Peyton is retiring today. That is just odd.

 

[Houston]

They said giving Mario Williams a long time contract was top priority :smh:

 

[JayDizzle]

Something something, The Rams are in discussions about coughing up U.S. home games to play them in Europe, something, something...
