Well they lost Glennon and they had Sean Renfree, Ryan Griffin and Sefo Liufau as backups. Yuck. I thought Renfree had a chance but he has been buried in the NFL, with Falcons and Bucs. Career clipboard carrier?

That is why the game is cyclical. The defenses in the league are so small, and fast, that a 230lbs running back and large offensive line can just cut through it.
The best example of this, is last year when the Cardinals played the Bills. The Bills just simply dominated the run game. Bucanon and Minter where not just getting blocked, but blown off their feet in that game.
Running the ball will come back, and when defenses bulk up to stop the run, then the pass will come back into fashion.

the issue with the inside linebacker core is solved actually
but wasnt the only issue
they were terrible at taclking too,many missed tackles i noted
i dont think there was a cornerback duo in the league worst then cardinals tackling
plus our safeties, even if they did offer a solid contribute versus the run ,they were a huge liability in the deep coverage

The #Bears are signing former #Giants WR Victor Cruz to a 1-year deal, per @KimJonesSports and me. He has a new home.

To follow up on Colin Kaepernick and #Seahawks, source says 2 sides "aren't all that far off financially." But "not a real urgency" either.

He ought to fit in nicely into that spiraling locker room that Carroll always seems to passively create.

Adding to @RapSheet on Edelman: $5m signing bonus and $4m in reachable incentives. So two years, $15m max.

Is it really a hefty investment? The average salary for a WR is now around 5 mil, so he got slightly more than average.

Falcons DT Dontari Poe said he's where he needs to be weight-wise, 340 pounds or under, which would mean a $125,000 bonus.
