Disagree on Big Rob big time. Kupp depends on if he'll accept a pay cut. Williams will probably still be here but we should be looking at getting a home run threat at that position or improving the depth regardless.

Havenstein can no longer stop speed on the outside. It killed him in this game.

That was never his strong suit to begin with. He still had a solid ass season. Need I remind people how much we looked like every worse shit when he was out? I wouldn't mind drafting an OT to eventually replace him, but I'd keep him as the starter until he actually got beat out by said drafted player.

Reeder for sure. Rozeboom is fine if he’s depth, great!

KW committed way too many mortal sins for an RB that would get you kicked out quickly on any other team. His yards are a result of Stafford/Puka/Kupp. Corum looked good in the time he was in.

I'm not saying get rid of him for nothing. I'm not even saying get rid of him. But don't you think we should actually have a succession plan?

The right side of the line looked like absolute shit when Hav was out. He's getting up there in age but we don't have anyone currently to replace his production.

Big Rob is always dinged anymore and he's fallen off with the speed fellas. If Kupp wanted 5-6mil, that's a different story. DWill needs cut and bring back AK-44, COBIE and a high profile CB who is 6'1"+ and plays the run also.

I definitely disagree with you there. He's still a pretty damn good RT and on a great contract. I can't remember but please don't tell me your the same poster that claims we'll get rid of Havenstein every damn year, sorry my memory isn't always the greatest lol..... I personally think you are tripping balls on this one hahahaha
He's adequate right now. Did you see how many times Stafford was pressured from Rob and Dotson today? How many times Rob was on his butt? Also he missed 6 games this year and he'll be 33 before camp starts. To not secure at a minimum a backup would be idiotic and we all know McSnead are not idiots.

This is the first time ever I've said Big Rob was bad in a game. You might have glossed over earlier when I mentioned he's had a good career in Horns. I have never before now discussed anything other than we need a swing tackle. He is one of the oldest RT in the league. Are you saying you don't want somebody ready as a swing tackle/backup to Big Rob? Ballsy when the guy is getting up in years and has only played a full season once in the last 4.

Here's our UFA's, any you want back? Obviously Alaric Jackson is a yes

Alaric Jackson is a must have IMO.

Same with Hoecht because he is a late bloomer that keeps ascending and improving. Guaranteed he out performs whatever new contract he gets IMO.

Spoon I take back for sure if the money is right. Hard to tell what will happen there. We already parted ways with him before. I suspect the two sides don't see eye to eye on his monetary worth. But with his tape from this season, I don't think he'll be on the streets again, and will find a suitor if and when the Rams don't pay.

Backup QB is important. I wouldn't mind Jimmy G returning at all if the money is right.

I'd love Atwell back at the right price. We need his speed. He is our only burner. But why would he return? All he does is produce when targeted, and always get open, but yet he never gets the ball. I bet he goes to KC and explodes.

None of the others move the needle for me. Several I would be okay bringing back if the money is right but could see us easily replacing.

Does it surprise you that the best authoress here is lightning fast on the keyboard? :p

Was he ever really good at it to start with?

No, he wasn't, but he could at least mitigate it with technique and leverage. He wasn't able to this game, and he's been injured for a lot of the season. We'd be fools not to have a succession plan with him and maybe A-Jax.

Read my response to Memento. I actually stated I have zero issues with drafting an OT to eventually replace Big Rob. I totally get that part, I'm just not ok with getting rid of him just to get rid of him cuz he's old. Also if you ask me, Dotson got bitch slapped the worse in the game outta all our vet lineman. Also please accept my sincerest apologies for confusing you with oldbutnotdead hahaha....I mean you do have old in your name but that's where the similarities end

that's an educated crap shoot. I think Big Rob is good for another year.
He might be and I'm not saying I'm cutting him. But he's not getting younger and he's more and more dinged up every year. His play is also not what it once was. We also do not currently have a backup. It would be criminal to not draft a guy that could play RT. He could eventually start I didn't say I'm cutting him I'm saying the road is coming to an end for him hell next year is the last year on his contract anyways.

We all know McSnead have a history of addressing a need the year before it becomes a hole. I don't get this reluctance to add a RT/Swing tackle to the team literally the only tackles on the roster at the start of the next year are Rob and McClendon the rest are free agents.

LOL I never ever said I was cutting or trading him. I said it may be time for him to retire. He's not the player he once was and we obviously need a replacement/backup which we do not have right now. Drafting an OT or two is an obvious thing that's going to happen unless we sign a free agent which I don't know that there's any out there that's worth a damn.

There's no way I re-sign BB3. There's too many red flags when it comes to players like that on a big contract, and he will get a big contract from someone (only 24, someone will think "potential" without looking at his game).
