It's honestly not a terrible philosophy if the players brought back were good and it wasn't used so god damn always.

But it is.

I like this strategy. What's Dexter Jackson doing? Madieu?

Obviously it is super duper complex, like Patriots complex.  Why else would our rookies have such a tough time getting playing time?

Right. It makes sense to use it on George Iloka. 
Not Taylor Mays or Pat Sims.

Our play book is locked up in Area 51. Rookies don't practice. They have to prove their worth by sneaking in and getting a copy without being caught. 

Didn't we try this Mays at nickel once before and it didn't really pan out?

Taylor Mays is gonna have the coolest backpack selection on the team!

Ain't nobody carrying shit no more! Leaves room for players to carry ipads and study the playbook.

Didn't really pan out in Oakland or Minnesota either

Where's Rudi? WE NEED MORE COWBELL

Mays blows up FBs in preseason like a mutha*****!

You guys obviously don't know that.

Leave Taylor alone!!!!

RUDI! That man is part of NFL history! A legendary figure.  One of the few guys to ever play for an 0-16 team.  We need that kind of leadership in the locker room.

no love for pat sims around here, i dont really get it. 

Pauly loved Mays as the nickle backer. Now that Eman left they need that guy.

Would rather have Reggie and let williams fill that nickle backer roll.

So, perspective wise, this is a bad move. 

Better off dropping Williams to LB in nickel and putting Derron Smith at S with Iloka 

I thought Rey played well the last two years for this team.. not sure where Mays fits unless they feel thin at safety and are really looking at him as a swing player at LB/Safety

Rudi was awesome.

Why not spend a little more money and bring back Reggie???

I like this better and hopefully we bring back Reggie if he doesn't get what he wants out there.

Not for Mays, especially if he is suspended.

Mays > Lamur


And he really wasn't that bad when they threw him in there in the "monster" role.  

(03-16-2016, 05:37 PM)RoyleRedlegs Wrote: they certainly don't help. 
Those are the guys easiest to improve. 

Getting better there means you can rely less on the top of roster guys.

The fact that we had NOTHING on the DL behind Geno/Carlos didn't play a role? 

Oh okay. 

Exactly..... QUALITY depth is huge....
