Now trade for a LBer ?

This injury bs is unbelievable and disgusting but we are still in it, now do we trade for a vet LBer ?

who ???

my 1st thought is

Demario Davis from NO

Yes I understand Nick Martin was taken in the 3rd rd but can't count on him if he can't even make the roster, I like Bethune but he's depth and ST

Nick Martin will hold on down the fort.

I hope, but let's be realistic, he hasn't dressed yet, you'd think he'd beat out Bethune or Gifford for a role, even on ST but not yet, again I hope you're correct but I think bringing in a vet is needed at LBer but no more then edge help, also S but I'm asking for a lot now.

I don't know if he's fully healthy or is he just not doing well in practice

Unless Saleh thinks he's next in line with this pecking order Bethune, Robinson, then Martin

Sorry to break it to you but we were never in it this team had to many holes to begin with and Fred's injury was the final nail.

Disagree, week 6, 4-2 overall, 3-0 in the division, easy schedule remaining, offensive injuries getting better and going to be better, players step up or we make moves, we needs vets on the D, O wise it'll only get better. I promise, but you seem like a non faithful, be positive.

Well whatever the case, Bethune proved yesterday he can't handle that role. And Robinson is just a Special Teamer. The best outta Bethune, Robinson, Gifford and Winters is Winters. But even he was getting taking outta plays or making the wrong reads. Why not play Martin already!!!!!!!

Where's Kwon?

Every opponent facing us should blitz. Send everyone. Our OL can't stop anything it seems. We're getting some weapons back on the offense but what good will it do it we don't have time to throw.
Defense is cooked. Too young, leaders our done for the season.
Save the draft picks, get the kids out there to learn and whatever happens, happens.
Maybe bring in some of the FA left out there for vet min for tryouts.

Need to snag a LB, DE, or OL

No I don't think we should make any trades unless it's trading Brendel

The big focus with Brendel is his low marks in PP - 54 (he is very good in run blocking). He was around 59-60 last season.

The problem with trading for a Center is that to move up (62+) rating, you are going to lose as much in run blocking as you gain in pass protection. For a team that is struggling to run the ball this year, that doesn't seem like a win for us.

I said it above but there are only five Centers in the league that are well balanced between pass protection and run blocking, and none of them are available. Teams with a good Center realize their value and aren't willing to part with them.

Is it really an easy schedule going forward ?

They were never going to win anything with this Oline and it isn't getting any better.

What vet can they acquire at the deadline thats gonna significantly change their fortunes this season?

Now if you're talking about guys that aren't rentals that could contribute for more than just a half season great otherwise it's pointless.

Life must be hard for you with that attitude.
