    I saw what he had to say and didn't have much of a problem with it. My sense is that Briggs is more or less falling on his sword for the sake of some underpaid teammates. I think his request for an extension is more about presssuring management to get Forte done along with a couple others. He's comfortable so he really has nothing to lose. And other than his request for his own extension, he's not saying anything crazy.

    I have no idea how you could possibly say that.

    I'm fairly certain that if you wait to see how this game plays out, you will no longer be able to trade him this season.

    That is an absurdly ridiculous statement. This year, sure. But this is the NFL, there is absolutely no reason why they couldn't be right back in it next season. Forte may not be worth a damn in two years. Do you honestly think if Jerry Angelo is still the GM he's going to all the sudden be aggressive at drafting/signing offensive weapons? He's had 3 years to build around Jay Cutler and he's given us....Roy Williams and Marion Barber. He's been aggressive in the past. I honestly think that if they traded Forte for 2 #1s there is no way they could take 2 seasons to get back on their feet as an organization.

    I think he's this valuable because they have a passing game that utilizes the RB, but also because they don't have anything but okay receivers to go along with it, and don't have a line that can pass block enough to go deep more often.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    I wouldn't I would. Unless he's a hall of famer in the making Forte might not have a lot of miles left on those legs. For cap purposes, a franchise tag this offseason and then letting him go might be the right decision, if not a trade before then.

    I don't see the problem. The game is going to be played at 1pm eastern, just like most games. It doesn't do them a whole lot of good to spend a few days getting acclimated to London time in a strange locale for one game. You might as well stay home with all of your own medical and training equipment. Tampa claims they struggled last time because of traveling on Friday, but they sucked balls that year and lost big to New England. They could have done that anywhere. I see no advantage to spending the week there. When you travel for business and go straight to work following the flight, that can mess with you. When you take a charter flight with first class seating for all and nothing to do immediately upon arrival. You are going to be fine.

    I don't put too much stock in that game. Tampa always manages a split with New Orleans, even when they are 3-13.

    There's a reason Goldstein isn't a businessman, then. i wish my school offered business 101

    In a one off event like a football game it really shouldn't have much of an effect. They get a bye week after this trip.

    All they want is McNutt? Do it yesterday.

    don't blame theo

    the point is they can't just choose to keep him upright. They aren't good at blocking and they aren't good at receiving. They aren't good at gaining yards and they aren't good at scoring. Get a better receiver and things will be a little better.

    Getting to the red zone is a bigger problem than getting in. They are in the bottom half of teams in yardage and average at Red Zone conversion.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Having more yards does not automatically make one a better receiver. well no [expletive]. the point I'm making is that we need a CJ type (who can score once we're in the red zone) and less of the BM type (whose numbers translate into more a possession type). Oh, okay. I don't agree with your theory though. It's not like what is holding this offense back is a lack of red zone success. They need to get to the red zone. They need the yards. They can use help at every area of the field.

    Yes, but Johnson does it better. I'm not saying Marshall sucks.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I'm really not sure why somebody would think that they can't walk away. They went hard after Epstein and if they can't get him due to unwarrented demands by an insane organization that is currently falling apart, they can get another guy they can sell to the public.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    My impression is that while he isn't as good as Johnson, he is the same type of receiver. as i said, i don't see much of a difference other than that johnson can jump a little higher and marshall is a bit more physical. marshall seems to be a bit more of a possession receiver as well and isn't used quite so much in the red zone for some reason. Johnson seems to be more sane, tough and dependable.

  24. jersey cubs fan
    Potentially an incredible amount of difference. I've been saying all along you either have to make the line very good or give him a game changing receiver he can trust. You can't give him a crap line with nothing but mediocre receivers. Having that type of receiver could make it very difficult on defenses.

    A seat belt on a generic sedan probably isn't nearly as supportive as all the stuff that ties you down into the cockpit with a helmet on.
