So I was looking through old posts...

At the beginning of the year, Barnett and Hawk played different positions because they were on the field at the same time. After Barnett's injury ended his season, Hawk took over Barnett's role and Bishop took over Hawk's old role.

Think of the ILB positions as follows:
The Jack (Barnett to start the season, Hawk now) is the defensive signal caller, the chaser, and the tackler.
The Buck (Hawk to start the season, Bishop now) is the thumper, block eater, and gap filler.

Are you sure about that? I though Bishop (preseason and after Barnett's injury) was strictly the Jack like NB. I thought AJ stayed at Jack.

I'm not actually sure, in fact watching some of the week 11 tape I might actually be wrong. For some reason I thought that when Hawk took over signal-calling duties from Barnett, he took over the position as well. We spend so much time in nickel with the ILBs playing the pass that the distinction is somewhat vacuous anyway.

But disirregardless, IMO Casey Matthews is better suited to the inside than the outside.

"A stud punter. Tim Masthay"

Who'd a thunk, early in the year, that this statement could be made in a thread and go unchallenged???

TT found a stud punter! Dayum!

Spitz was a guard. So was Will Whitticker. They need a guard, but I don't care if he drafts a WR if he is able to play guard.

Basically, they need O-linemen at any/all positions, They will always need O-linemen. When you start 5 and keep 9 or 10 there is always room to add one or two, because some will be getting old, or will be injured or will have used up their opportunity without showing enough. Wolf said you have to draft one just about every year, at least for a look.

I feel the same way about WRs in this offense.

And remember how some people were saying letting Jon Ryan go was TT's biggest mistake...?

Any time "cutting a punter" is your GM's biggest mistake, your GM has done a pretty good job so far.
