chococoke Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think the Cardinals would be the best landing spot for him (assuming he doesn't return to Dallas.) Ellington proved last season that he isn't a workhorse back, and his skill set is more in line with a guy like Shane Vereen or Giovanni Bernard. Murray would give the team the bruiser they could use on offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray would give the team the bruiser they could use on offense I agree totally, we need someone who can power through. We've always been a more WR reliant team overall and I feel it would be nice if we had some ground threat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Raven Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I heard a weird story about that. CJ Spiller didn't find out about the trade until Willie McGinest broke the news on NFL Network, literally right as CJ Spiller was about to be interviewed. The weirdest shit was, right after McGinest broken the news, he gets a call from the Bills organization saying "Thank you for your service." I don't know if the subsequent interview was heated or awkward or what but that's pretty crazy. Spiller also said something like "Chip Kelly has my agent's number."

chococoke Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Eagles have a lot of cap space, too. Imagine a Chip Kelly offense with Mariota at the helm, and Sproles and Spiller in the backfield. That's a lot of speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, check out Elliot Harrison's All Under 25 Team. He has some good picks, here, I think! Several of these choices were predictable to me too. :P And of course, Le'Veon Bell and Luke Kuechly are on it! You just can't NOT have these two guys on the list. ^^ Keuchly was Defensive Player of the Year in 2013 and Bell is the best RB in the league, imo, except for Marshawn Lynch (because this guy is a bulldozer, I swear. And Bell just doesn't have the build for that kind of thing). Sure, DeMarco Murray is really good too, but Bell fumbles way less and isn't running behind as good an o-line. In fact, Bell has only fumbled once in his entire career so far. Murray fumbled seven times in 2014 alone, I read. I'm so glad Le'Veon Bell is on my team. ^^ Edited March 4, 2015 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Jacoby Jones planning to be worked out by the Chargers tommorow. Adrian Peterson lists Chargers as one of the 5 destinations he wants to be at. Adrian Peterson in our O-line won't flourish at all unless we get better Guards. Hopefully we can get an O-line upgrade so we can move Fluker at Right Guard, he'd be a mauling 6'5 331 pound Guard. I'd hate to find Danny Woodhead and Branden Oliver behind him. Jacoby Jones will be an interesting pick up, we don't have a true PR but we have a true KR who could use Jacoby's mentoring. Maybe he'll be stud after being thrown at by Philip Rivers, but if he doesn't have the greatest hands at least we have a deep route burner Wide Receiver to open up the other receivers so the Defense has to dedicate a man to take on Jacoby.

Anacybele Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) The Ravens don't have Jacoby Jones anymore? Good, I'm kind of tired of the jokes revolving around him and Mike Tomlin. He gives our special teams trouble sometimes too. Although, the Steelers have to play the Chargers next season... >.> Edited March 5, 2015 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We cut him like two weeks ago because he's a pretty poor WR and his PR/KR game's been lacking. He'd always take it out 9 deep, he rarely takes a knee, and he rarely fair catches even when it's to his benefit to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk King Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I hate the kiko for LeSean trade and Matt Cassel is only a slightly better passer than Manuel but far less athletic. Spiller has the same skill set as McCoy and is younger. we could have just resigned him for an equal or lesser cap hit and kept kiko alonso on the team. Not to mention running backs are a dime a dozen and we could have gotten one another way. In less than a year the Bills have traded for both of Philidelphia's running backs. Despite the Questionable personnel moves, the Bills schedule looks pretty favorable so I was expecting play-offs regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention running backs are a dime a dozen and we could have gotten one another way. In less than a year the Bills have traded for both of Philidelphia's running backs. Despite the Questionable personnel moves, the Bills schedule looks pretty favorable so I was expecting play-offs regardless. LeSean McCoy is not a "dime a dozen" running back. He is a top five (and yes, we can toss around the word elite here) player at his position in the entire league and is in the prime of his career (age 26). He has been swapped player for player for Kiko Alonzo. Let me just repeat that. LeSean McCoy has been traded straight up for a guy who played less than a full season of professional football, is recovering from his second ACL tear and was a non-factor on a defense that got better after he was injured. That's right, Kiko is so good that he makes the defense get better by not being there. Let's not forget the fact that Kiko's season was half incredible and half mediocre before the tear. The Eagles have either grossly over-estimated Kiko's market value or under-estimated McCoy's. In either regard, our backfield just got better at the loss of... nothing, considering that Kiko had no effect on our 9-7 season last year. Plus, McCoy will restructure his contract because he'll want to be on a team that is now competitive and is a dark horse for the Superbowl. All he has to do is face the Patriots twice a year and their defense reminds me more of swiss cheese than it does of a brick wall. Do I wish that we could have kept Kiko? Of course. The guy will most likely be an all-Pro. But is our defense stacked enough without him? Were you watching Nigel Bradham and Preston Brown last year? I was and we weren't missing Kiko at all. Our defense was so good that we made average players like Jerry Hughes and Da'Norris Searcy big names in FA. If I recall correctly, we got Hughes for peanuts from the Colts. Now he's going to make 10 million a year as only an edge rusher? If the current level of management at OBD has told me anything, it's that we're finally understanding market value. That being said, I still want Brandon and Overdorf fired. Been saying this for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'd also like to note that Forsett basically had his way with the Patriots in the divisional round. Now, imagine LeSean McCoy, who is better than Forsett in every way possible except perhaps vision, which isn't as big a deal because it's not like he's running behind Baltimore's OL.

Phoenix Wright Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Oh. Huh. That's kind of funky. Well, like I said before, LA loves their basketball more. They don't care much for football, surprisingly. They don't need a team anyway, California has enough. They've got three teams in that state. l.a. cares about football a lot actually, but we prefer college ball because it's better and we have plenty of rivalries and teams to root for. i get tons of people yelling "go rams!" when i wear my sweater too! they used to be from l.a. and people were bummed when they moved. but people do like their basketball more. it's insane.

McCoy has 2-3 years before he hits the age where running back see a significant drop in production. Kiko has at least 10-12 years left in the NFL. Kiko played all 16 games and recorded 159 tackles (3rd in the league) in his rookie year. He played in 100% of the teams defensive snaps. He was injured in the off-season while working out at home. This trade is great for the next 2-3 seasons but over a 10 year span, Philly got the better end of this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) REPORT: Chargers sign ex-Raven Jacoby Jones to a 2 year contract and can make upto $5.5 million dollars. So we have a mentor for our Return Specialist in Chris Davis as well as have increased depth at WR. We also have a burner. I really like the fact we got him but I hope he becomes great for our offense. We do need a tall fast deep threat, so I hope passes from Felipe Rios will have him get more receptions. It's been forever since we had a Return game since AJ Smith released Sproles. Edited March 6, 2015 by Vermilia Scarlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a bunch of stuff about how Kiko didn't want to play in Buffalo at all, which might hint that Kiko would probably "mentally check out" if he were to stay... on top of that Rex Ryan wasn't too fond of him either. Entirely possible that keeping Kiko for the next 2-3 years would be worse than keeping McCoy for the next 2-3 years, since wanting out of Buffalo and all that could lead to him testing free agency long term. It's also Kiko as an unknown vs McCoy as a known quantity. This seems like a pretty lopsided trade on paper, but ultimately could be closer to Portis/Bailey than like... the three first rounders for RG3.

Team Alucard Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 but people do like their basketball more. it's insane. I wouldn't say its insane at all. The Lakers are the best NBA franchise of all time and have never gone more than 3 years without making the playoffs. Meanwhile the Rams were basically awful during their entire tenure in LA except for a brief period in the late 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
