I would say that he probably did have a better feel on what to ask for in regards to players, tho. He knows they aren't getting Norwell or any other "premium" player. Marv knows 1,000% how MB works now, so he can pitch various ideas to him that he knows is in his wheelhouse. I still get sorta deflated realizing that it's still Marv running the team, so even with all these very smart moves, we have a guy who is the most non-clutch guy i've ever known.  :giggle:

Merv is the exact opposite of Doug Pederson, that is for sure.

The problem there is, there's no fear of failing. There's questionable motivation or drive when you get to do a bad job and don't get reprimanded. If we go to the SB this year or if we only win four games, Marvin's just going to shrug it off and say "hey, we tried" while not answering for "how much."

Hope you are wrong and there is some urgency Benton. These moves do not seem to support this point thankfully.

I think anyone that comes in on a 1-year deal is a bargain pickup.  Obviously there wasn't much of a market for him, otherwise he would have gotten a long term deal somewhere.  Very similar to the Minter deal, which I also viewed as a bargain pickup.

And don't get me wrong, I love both moves and I'm glad they pulled the trigger on them.

Been awhile alright, nice in bringing up Deltha O'Neil who i forgot about honestly.

Preston Brown is still getting paid right around 5 mil for one year. I think the re-signing of Geno needs to be done first or even
Dunlap and then we will see a long term deal with the man. Cincy is his home and is a big reason why Preston wanted to come
here over other places. A sure tackling player that led the league in tackles and was a 3 down backer that is in his prime is
different than the normal AJ Hawk, Carlos Dansby signings we usually see IMHO.
