Couple of weeks let the fun begin, oh how I miss camp in Westimster

Side note, Stillers playing hard ball with Watt, not wanting to bend to his contract demands they leak info of them "reaching out to other teams for possible trade" expect a 2nd rounder....

They should have stripped it down and rebuilt.

[tsylvester]

They will after this season, one last hurrah. Rogers retires alomg with several other players, Howard takes over they try to get back to Stiller football.... Lots of luck with that

[papasmurfbell]

I think they will have a new coach too.  

[tsylvester]

His record of non losing seasons is a farce, no playoff wins in how many years? Winning games with a few touchdowns, mostly field goals the past couple of years.

Yes, I would say if they cant win in the post season, score real points with Roger's, or even with him should I say, Tomlin would have to go

[tsylvester]

Green is 1 of 30 2nd round picks not to be signed, and likely to hold out of camp. They all want their contracts guaranteed. Sorry, while you are likely to make the team as a 2nd rounder, you are not a first..

[papasmurfbell]

If I were Tomlin I would want out.  The past two gms have screwed him with bad rosters but he still makes chicken salad.  
 

With the loss of green I guess passrush is an issue now.  If he is out of camp he has zero value to us.

I’m surprised sports talk isn’t mentioning this.  I’d call it a concern for roster construction.

[oldno82]

Yes...the silence on this is deafening.

[papasmurfbell]

They just assume a better passrush with green out there.  If he isn’t passrush is a concern and they need scheme to get guys free like the last couple yrs.

[oldno82]

Papa, I think even if he is a good pass rusher, they are still going to need to scheme it.

[papasmurfbell]

I think one real guy who can get home can set up others to be free.

Well, it helps for sure but I'm not a big Oweh fan and van Noy can't have much more left in the tank. So, I guess Green is an important cog in the wheel. Maybe more important than I first thought. It'll be interesting to see if he shows up today (rookies report) or if he is going to hold out. Or, hold in. it's pretty bad that two teams caved on the fully guaranteed money deals for 2nd round picks.
