It's so hard to find a good coverage safety. Everything I see on FA safeties is "good in the box must play downhill". Ed Reed is the only decent guy in coverage and he's 900.

Thought it was obvious Justin was hurt and not really functional. You guys had a great run of health, but the lack of depth got exposed. People keep talking about you guys bundling picks to move up, but you really need to start developing replacements to some of these guys

As for the coverage issues, you know my thoughts on Fangio. I think the talent has hid his flaws

we had good depth to start the season at the defensive positions. haralson is a starting caliber olb, out for the year. we had dobbs who is actually a pretty good defensive lineman, out for the year (injured in the 2nd rams game i think). RJF isn't bad for depth but no justin smith. we need to have a better d-line rotation is what we need. all our starters play like 95% of the snaps and it's just too much

Im so glad we drafted Harrison Smith.

PFF rated him 6th best in coverage as a safety. He needs work with his tackling (Not effort but form, he can hit) against the run but hes awesome.

 

[squicken]

Based on every game I've seen on Young. He is faster, better route running abilities and has hands as good as Hartline. He was honestly the perfect #2 to Megatron.

Young burned Sherman numerous times, including one for a 50+ yard bomb, when we played the Seachickens this year despite Shermans shittalking on Megatron.

Youngs rookie season stats are comparable to Hartlines career season last year. Its a
Goddamn shame Young is a bipolar schizo cause the dude is talented. I was looking forward to seeing what he would do with the Rams but I think he needs to spend a few years in the CFL and grow up. Even then that may not be possible considering how hard headed he is.

That's the thing about Sherman that so annoying. I have seen numerous guys smoke him. He's just really good, but nothing close to Revis. I'd rather have Patrick Peterson for the return ability.

Idk but anytime a player starts acting/speaking crazy I'm gonna say they're pulling a Titus Young.

 

[BannedEpisode]

I like Harvin, and he probably deserves 10 million a year but he is delusional.

At this point I just want the Vikings to cut ties. Get what they can for him. Guess I'll have to get a Smith or Walsh jersey.

 

[squicken]

Mike Wallace to the Vikes is the biggest waste of his talents. Ponder can't throw a deep ball unless he rainbows it. By the time he finishes his play fake to Peterson, Wallace will be out of his range

[abolisher6812]

I finally saw the Sherman-Bayless clip. I enjoyed it up until Sherman told Skip that he was better at life. That whole exchange almost sounds like something that ESPN would cook up. They now have something to spend 30 minutes on during First Take.

[jakncoke]

While the Vikings and Harvin's agent, Joel Segal, have yet to exchange contract proposals, it's believed that Harvin wants money closer to what Calvin Johnson got from Detroit in 2012 (eight years, $132 million) than to Jackson or Bowe. That's an average of $16.5 million per year compared to a little more than $11 million for Jackson and Bowe. As one person put it about Harvin, he considers himself a "special" player and executives around the league have fed that attitude by telling people close to him how difficult it is to cover Harvin.

Jesus fucking christ did he not just watch Mike Wallace fail at this last year.

Wallace to Miami makes way, way more sense. I'd say if they're willing to spend the money (which by all accounts it sounds like Ireland is) he's theirs.

Future All-Pro safety Devin McCourty will not allow Wallace to do anything deep against us.

It won't matter because Cordarelle Patterson will be burning Steve Gregory on the other side.

In other news, sounds like the Hartline deal is official:

The wide receiver and the Dolphins have agreed to terms on a five-year, $30.775 million deal, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The deal includes $12.5 million in guaranteed money.

Sounds like a good deal for him but I'm glad he's staying.

Patterson won't even get to Gregory, because he would still be trying to get out of Dowling his beastly jam at the LoS.

Serious though, I really hope Dowling magically stays healthy. The way he handled Brandon Marshall when he was still on the Dolphins was pure sex.

I'll be honest, I couldn't remember this Dowling guy so I had to look him up. Apparently he played two games in 2011 before being placed on IR (on my birthday, by the way) and then played half the 2012 season before going on IR again? I'm surprised he's even on the roster at this point.

I can see why you're fond of him, though. He's a UVA grad so there's a chance he could have some of that Shoob magic.

Man I wanted the Eagles to draft him so bad. Now I am so happy that they didnt. He is totally made of glass.

5 years $30 M for Hartline? Ireland sucks so damn much it's amazing.

5 years $30 M for Hartline? Ireland sucks so damn much it's amazing.

The team isn't exactly in a position to be conservative when it comes to WR's right now. I'm willing to give Ireland this offseason and next year before I give up on him.

His production was solid last year (in terms of yards but not TD's admittedly), but that was with a rookie head coach, a rookie QB, and little to no help from the rest of the WR's. I think the thought is that Hartline could develop into a very good #2 WR if the Dolphins go after Wallace/Jennings and/or pick up a WR early in the draft. It's a little risky but considering their WR situation and the fact that he showed great chemistry with Tannehill last year I don't think it's necessarily a bad move. Everyone is always criticizing Ireland for being overly conservative, so it's time to see what happens when he decides not to be.

We'll see how it goes!

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Sounds like the Chiefs mentality when they got Cassel. Tying $30M/5yrs to Hartline is a terrible way to solve the WR problem.

 

[yankeehater]

It is only $13m guaranteed. If he sucks they cut him after next year.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Hartline has a big potential upside playing with a good #1 and a good QB. He hasn't been afforded that combination in previous years. Like I said, it's risky, but it's about time Ireland took some risks.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Man I wanted the Eagles to draft him so bad. Now I am so happy that they didnt. He is totally made of glass.

But he is so amazing when healthy

 

[yankeehater]

But he is so amazing when healthy

Yeah he definitely has the skill to be a very good CB, but missing most of his first 2 years cant inspire much confidence. This has got to be the year for him.

I don't even know what you mean by conservative. He went after Harbs, he went after Manning, he got Bush, he traded one of the best WRs in the league, and then traded our best/2nd best CB. It's not like we've been an inactive team since he took over..

Conservative in the spending money sense. He didn't do enough to get those guys you're talking about and he didn't want to pay those guys who are gone now. He's taking some risks by spending some money now.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Yeah, he has to make the roster this year again and actually not land on IR or he's probably gone. Still he's quite cheap, so he's not hurting them too much.

Well, looks like Matt Moore is coming back.

Wow that is very surprising. I am shocked he didnt leave for believeland and a real chance to start.

Phillips is a quality coverage safety. He just can't stay healthy. Don't know where it is you're looking...

2 year, 8 million dollar deal according to twitter.

 

[Wrayfield]

Somewhat surprised myself. I know they're not allowed to talk to other teams, but maybe his agent tried to gauge the interest with other teams and there was little? Okay back-up for us in case Tannehill get hurt.

 

[Kave_Man]

Maybe the Browns just weren't as interested as people thought?
