I don't know how to feel.
On one hand its Ed Reed! On the other hand its Ed Reed!
I admire Ed Reed for holding the ball worse than Michael Vick and not fumbling as much. Takes talent to run back interceptions while waving the ball like a baton.

Is there an overabundance of teams having such huge shake ups this year or am I just stuck in the moment and this is no more than any given year?

6 years ago that would have been a huge move for the Texans. Are you guys over the cap or something? I really cant fathom how little the Texans have done this offseason.

I would LOVE to have Maualuga playing ILB next to Cushing.

We have $12 million to spend. That number can easily be raised by redoing Antonio Smiths contract who they want to extend anyways and doing some change up with Dre's and J Joes contracts. You have to look at the future though: Cushing is in his final year, Kareem Jackson is coming due and that 800lb gorilla of a man: JJ Watt will need a new contract in two years. Watt WILL get paid.
I count how they line up to avoid confusion, which with you listing LB's as the first number has simply amplified chuck!The Niners run 2-4 and 2-3 in their nickel and dime packages. It all depends on how you count people. Do you count them as their official positions dictate or how they line up?
EDIT: Wait no you didn't, I see what you've done. You've just gone positional.

I really don't know why Houston didn't go after Welker. His contract was reasonable and the team could of moved to the next level with him.
With Kolb to be released suddenly there is a decent market of back up QBs available.
Fitzpatrick who Minnesota should grab
Kolb
Cassel
and hopefully soon Foles
What happens with Flynn? Why doesn't a team like the Jaguars trade for the guy? Is he that bad?
And with DRC gone from the Eagles that terrible trade for both teams is complete. Well no we still have Nate Allen as a result.

So the Packets psycho package you'd call a 6-0?
Weird.
According to their d-coordinator "he's not real athletic".I really don't know why Houston didn't go after Welker. His contract was reasonable and the team could of moved to the next level with him.

Yes, Welker would have been the perfect fit for them. Noodle arm could have gotten the ball to him, especially with Dre going deep and taking two guys with him. That offense could have been amazing with just that one move.

Result of the CBA I believe. Cap didn't budge and the new rookie pay scale is so favorable that more and more teams really don't bother with extending or bringing back veterans.

wut? In their nickel, the 9er's use 2 down with 4 backers.

Naw. Keyshawn Martin will be the slot going forward. They are supposedly interested in Jennings. Dre, Jennings, Martin and Daniels running routes? Yes please!
Plus we have 11 draft picks this year

The thing with Houston is I don't think "the next level" will ever be enough with Schaub at the helm.I really don't know why Houston didn't go after Welker. His contract was reasonable and the team could of moved to the next level with him.

You are not allowed to talk any shit on Schaub and the Texans Mr 0 for 7!

Hate to break it to you buddy but consistently beating the Dolphins and being Super Bowl contenders don't exactly go hand in hand!You are not allowed to talk any shit on Schaub and the Texans Mr 0 for 7!
Do you disagree about Schaub?

It's a terrible draft class. Teams trying to patch up in FA more than ever.

No I don't disagree but the 0-7 is all I have! Let me have it!

It's the fact that teams have to spend to the salary floor this year. Teams have to spend money, so the cheap teams are picking up players for more than they are worth. Or were worth.
It's a terrible draft class. Teams trying to patch up in FA more than ever.
Wide out class is both deep and also stacked. Yet wide outs are making a big splash in FA so I'm not sure that's really it. The floor is probably a bigger factor.
No not really, I only really refer to the 4 main, base, boring, standard, whatever you want to call them, packages by the idea of 'how does the front line up'.So the Packets psycho package you'd call a 6-0?
Weird.
So 4-3, 3-4, 4-2, 4-1. Any other more unique variations or secondary heavy schemes like 3-Deep or what have you I just refer to as such. Keeps it simple and easy to explain to a non-layman.

It's all yours! For what it's worth I would love to see the Texans become one of the dominant teams in the AFC but I just can't help but feel like Schaub is holding them back. It's a tough situation they're in.No I don't disagree but the 0-7 is all I have! Let me have it!
Switching subjects, I'm starting to get a little worried about how Wallace is going to handle his bigger role in Miami's offense. This kind of stuff:
translates to me as, "PASS ME THE BALL EVERY SINGLE TIME I ASK FOR IT, KID!"“It’s going to be different playing with a guy who’s going to be younger than me,” Wallace said. “Ben always treated me like his little brother. Actually being a big brother is going to be a little different. But I’m excited.”

Damn the Broncos got DRC for a year at 5m?! That's a damn good signing, I think he is crazy underrated.
I think that could work out to be the best singing of the offseason. If he busts his ass for a new contract he could be really good. Playing on a them that wins 13+ games should really help as well.
94.1 wip is reporting that the Jets will sign Kolb once the Cards cut him. Looks like the Sanchize era(error) is really over.

Poor Fox. It's ok, buddy. Sanchez will still be on the roster!
Martellus Bennett @JoeGryffindor
Great talk with Coach Pope this morning. Love that dude. Couldn't have asked for a better man to help me understand who I was a player...
...I will be forever grateful for the opportunity I was given in New York and being a part of an organization that believed in me
...And my family. I couldn't have found a better place to rekindle my dreams. The energy of the city was totally amazing. Thank you.
...I'm extremely appreciative of all the guys and the whole Giants organization as well as the wonderful fans. NY was truly a blessing to me
Honestly, gl to Bennett in Chicago. He's a fun guy to root for.

I'm hoping this has set the market a bit for Nnamdi as well, especially considering he's 4 years older.I think that could work out to be the best singing of the offseason. If he busts his ass for a new contract he could be really good. Playing on a them that wins 13+ games should really help as well.
If the Niners can snag him to a prove-it deal for ~4m, I will be very, very pleased.

Yep. Hope he isn't just stuck being a blocker for them. He gets more consistent in the passing game and he can be a weapon. Giants weren't ever going to pay him what the Bears did but I was hoping he would stay....Honestly, gl to Bennett in Chicago. He's a fun guy to root for.

I actually think Kolb could be worse than Sanchez.
Tampa can be a NFC dark horse if Freeman plays better. They have The personal to be special
That is a bigger "if" than Freeman's pants size.
Jets are cornering the market on fuck awful quarterbacks.
Revis for Schaub!

Schaub would be the greatest QB in Jets history.

As someone who has followed Houston sports my entire life, a signing of Ed Reed would feel a lot like the addition of Barkley by Rockets

So true....
Blizzard has completely lost me. I haven't even thought about picking up Diablo 3 and I had no idea that Starcraft 2 pt 2 was already released. Sad times.
It's pretty rad so far. Great package for $40.
Fitzpatrick who Minnesota should grab
And why is that? Because he's white? You racist.

Dat kiss of death! Fox hasn't been right in years and basically everything she says goes just the opposite so Seattle will go 2-14
Bam.
With one move, Seattle has become the team to beat in the NFC. Not just the NFC West. The entire conference. Percy Harvin makes the Seahawks that good, that relevant and that dangerous.
