Boogua Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 12, 2013 -> 10:30 AM) I dont know about that. There are a lot of key players off the books next season, like over half the team. It is gonna be a crazy offseason Jeez. I just did some research after you said this and it looks like 7 or 8 out of the 11 starters on defense this year will be a FA. I wonder if Emery tries to shift to a 3-4 or more of a hybrid defense now that most of the cover 2 personnel will be off the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery can literally do whatever he wants after this season, take the team in whatever direction he sees fit schematically and personnel wise.

RockRaines Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 The good news is that I believe in the offense again. The injuries will keep this team out of the playoffs but I think we are moving on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Has Washington been active for a game yet? I was really excited about him but seems like he must be pretty raw/terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a few comcast segments where they point out how he is out of position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those vet LBs they signed like Williams & Anderson were all one year deals. I wonder what will happen with Melton coming off his major injury.

The injuries will keep this team out of the playoffs but I think we are moving on the right track. Absolutely. Make the defense competent enough and the offense will win you games. With a competent/healthy defense they probably don't lose the 1st Detroit game nor the Washington game and they're sitting pretty at 7-2 with the Lions at 5-4.

Emery can literally do whatever he wants after this season, take the team in whatever direction he sees fit schematically and personnel wise. He told Mully and Hanley early this season that he intended to keep the 4-3. His reasoning was that the 3-4 requires that big nose tackle/space eater in the middle and those types are just too hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's early, and mock draft are never right but I've seen a few that had Nix III being available. I think he'd qualify. Perhaps the guy from Minnesota as well.

Nix and McCullers are looking like the best NT coming out in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is highly doubtful that Ratliff regains his previous form, and stays past this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
