WTS there's money to be freed. Since Volston seems to be working out we can part ways with Scharping. Releasing Clay Johnson and Joe Bachie could save us money. The Bengals most likely won't sign anyone, but it's not because they don't have/ can't find the Cap
We are not releasing our #3 OG so we can sign a #6 DE who is only gonna play for 2-3 weeks, max. And may not be better than our PS guys. That is just silly. What happens if something happens to Cappa or Volson? Yeesh. Carman would be playing. Yikes.
Bachie & Johnston are core special teams players. We are not releasing both to sign a DE who cannot fill their roles on specials. This is not Madden.
We will elevate someone from the PS. Play more 3 man fronts. Play Hill and/or Carter wide some. We'll see more of Tupou & Tufele inside. Pats are run first anyway. And we will try to see where Hendrickson is before Buffalo. If the D really struggles, hope the O can pick them up.
