offseason moves

According to www.profootballfocus.com, which is one of the few sites that has in depth player by player breakdowns, Flo had given up 6 sacks, 5 hits, and 23 pressures this year, in addition to 9 penalties, prior to Thursday’s game. That is just not that great. I know that he may be the best option that we currently have, but I think he is average at best, and declining. If Free isn’t the answer, one needs to be found, and quickly. I think Brewster is being groomed as a tackle, actually, so maybe they think he’s the guy.

Another need is playmaking DBs. As well as the defense is playing this year, they are still terrible at creating turnovers. The biggest reason for that is lack of interceptions. Mike Jenkins is tied for 17th in the league with 3 picks, and has as many as every other DB on the team. Combined. And the lack of picks is not due to them just being absolute shut down defenders, either.

our dbacks have alot of potential and will get better but the oline needs to change im sick and tired of hearing flozells name getting called every drive, hesa also 34 we have the oldest oline in the league and im not too excited about our backups (free, proctor, holland, brewster) we need to improve at that position in the draft

please. so much can happen before this year is over that this post is simply stupid. Maybe we need a certain position yea whatever, what if a key player goes done for a year n a half, or his career. 1 game changes everything; Let’s enjoy being in 1st and enjoy the rest of this season before we even think about next year. there are teams that should think about next year but those include Detroit, Cleveland, Oakland, ect……. not Dallas, not yet.

Spears a bust? Folk needs to be cut? Please, put down that pipe…seriously.

Also, a 6’5’’ DT is too tall to play in a 3-4.

……and absolutely CLUTCH. I think he’s still battling the injury to his hip in the off-season and some confidence issues as a result. That does NOT warrant cutting him, talk about a knee-jerk reaction. Buehler does have a strong leg and is terrific at what he’s doing, and at some point he might get a chance to prove he can kick clutch FG’s in the NFL, but at this point he hasn’t prove anything, except that he can kick it into the end zone. That’s not enough for any sane person to kick to the curb a Pro-Bowl caliber question after a couple of misses. As for Spears, he is what he is; he’s a great run stopping DE in a 3-4 defense. He’s not going to get a lot of sacks, that’s not his job, he’s supposed to tie of the OL so the LB’s can get through. And he does it well. As long as he isn’t trying to break the bank in FA I’d be all in favor of keeping him. Trust me, he won’t be lacking for suitors.

He’ll be gone by pick 3 or 4

Keep an eye on Jim Harbaugh. He’s the darling of college football right now and will be #1 on any college list, and VERY high on most NFL lists.

and I will be very happy.

And I hope we keep him around. I have no idea where all this “Spears is a bum” talk comes from.

We need Oline… That should be first and second priority.

Although I disagree on your assessment of Ball (I don’t think he is a bad backup) I do agree if we get the chance to draft a playmaking safety we should consider it.

I think you may be jumping the gun on Folk.

I do agree we will need d-line but not because Spears is a bust but because he will leave this year, his contract is up and we aren’t going to pay him what someone else will.

Including 2 of 5 from 40-49 and no attempts from 50+. I wouldn’t put future games on the shoulders of those kinds of stats, even if Buehler is a beast at everything else. I’d keep Folk where he is and trust that he will work his problems out.

Has nothing to do with accuracy. Just because he has 20+ touchbacks doesn’t mean he can make 45 yard FG’s
