so far we have gone young and cheap . we retained rak and riley (for a great price ) we got a 45-50 catch a year guy and a solid 3 yr starter at OG

so far so good and it looks like snyder is staying out of things

could it be that naive old skinsdad may have been half right ?

Yeah, but which half?

um no I didn't want Talib but I do want Byrd

So if we sign Byrd...we go from D- to A+? If so, you obviously love big names and haven't learned from the past...history is important to study so you don't make the same mistakes until the day you die.

that we wouldnt go nuts on FA a la the snyderrato days

that snyder seems to have changed and allen is in fact , in charge

that we will focus on young mid level guys on the rise instead of overspending on has beens

now will it work ? we wont know until 16 if we have patience enough

he is probably gonna cost about 9 million a year and thats definitely the type of player you want on your team if you think I'm wanting them to go all out and spend big money on all the big name free agents your a mental case

so far we are a 6-10 team next season at best . this team needs a rebuild and it will take some time

Good first day I feel. Its the approach I wanted all along.

How much cap do we have left? We need more cap room for sure. Hopefully cuts get us there.

Need left at this point:

ILB = 1 starter
RT = 1 starter
Safety = 1 starter
Nickel CB = depth mainly
DE = 1 starter

We need five more players. Of course I think the front office will view our 2nd rounder to address on of those. I think Corey Graham will fill the Nickel CB role, so we techinally need 4 more starters at this point.

it will take another season and a full draft to fix all the needs . but the approach needs to be the same

You forgot about another OL. We will not fill all these positions in FA and probably not even this year. If we can pick up a quality S and one more quality player at another position of need, this will be a very good FA period for us. Right now, I give us a c+/B-.

i trust gruden on keeping him protected. not sure if i trust rg3 on that though

When the coach puts the entire team on your legs like shanahan did, it's hard to make intelligent decisions to protect yourself. If you don't get that extra yard, no one will...

I think we can bring in the following to complete this offseason:

RT = Austin Howard
DE = Randy Starks
ILB =Brandon Spikes

We will have to draft a Safety early on as well as Guard

I think the skins have made impressive, smart, football moves this offseason, you dont fix this mess throwing big dollas at a few guys, this is the kind of moves that fix things long term

Well the'falcons in 2 hours fixed there whole line. In 4 hours skin have not got'1 new starter but if you have good depth that can also 'give you wins also. I don't look at are fa signings so far as starters ilook at them as blue collar great attitudes guys and if I remember right gruden said that's the players he wanted so who knows. Anyway we go no staters that's a joke but we got better depth say f for starters b for depth

despite records, the falcons are a vastly differently built team than the skins, you fail to see it. Hope you get what you want though.

That's why I'm hoping we sign him. Cheap and never lived up to his draft position but an improvement over what we have at bringing a pass rush from the interior.
