Zombo Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I like this move. We employ him when he is two years younger, and then play against him when he is two years older and falling apart. Can we get Whitner to the Steelers? Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo Whitner is like 5 years younger than Dansby. I believe Dansby is 35, Whitner 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Demario Davis is considered better than all of them. That's all well and good. How many first-rate starters do you think we're going to squeeze out of this draft? And how many holes do we need to fill? We will be stretching our luck pretty thin to expect two decent starters.

The Gipper Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Then your alarm clock rings and you wake up The only to come closest to that 1974 Steeler team was the 1957 Browns. Drafted HOF players Jim Brown, Gene Hickerson, and Henry Jordan (though he went to play with the Packers). So...it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Dansby can suck it. He's going to Cincy as depth for when Vontaze, a real grown ass nigga, goes on suspension. Soon as Vontaze comes back, barring no one else got hurt....bet you Dansby gets cut. It's a one year deal. Not the bengals need it, but he's there primarily to tell them all about the Browns D and how they can coast even more and still beat us handily. It's a no lose for them. But yeah he ain't gonna be no big part of that defense. They're 2nd stringers are all still better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 "IT" can be judged by wins & losses. So Hue's ingame coaching choices have zero to do with an analysis of part of the process to determine the players on the roster? Good to know! If you'd bother to educate yourself on what actually is happening, you'd find that "analytics" is not making any decisions.. Hue, Sashi, and the rest sit in a room and talk every single thing out. But keep believing whatever makes you happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, I hope I am. WSS Putting analytics aside Hue somehow won 8 games in Oakland with Jason Campbell & Terrell Pryor at QB with not much talent anywhere else. Fast Forward to Dalton that I watched live when we beat them in 2013. Since then Dalton has done nothing but get better at the QB position & thought I'd never say it but even AJ McCarron almost survived a playoff game with a win. Analytics aside Hue gives us the best shot in 20 years to solidify the QB position.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that I don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about analytics in professional football. Not to mention that his success has come from building a team and not from a stellar quarterback.

My point is that I don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about analytics in professional football. Not to mention that his success has come from building a team and not from a stellar quarterback. Mostly a pending opinion till we start getting a full picture of this "building thru draft with analytics" on 4-28-16. We see where all the needs are. I would think they would also involve possible FA's we may lose after next season. But one thing clearly that has not changed. Haslem & Sashi are still sitting on a pile of their cash called a 45M cap that most teams use to sprinkle in a few FA's to cover their holes before draft that they don't see filling thru draft. Sounding more like a analytic of cut players from other rosters coming in is their plan. Not a good sign yet of wanting to turn this franchise in the right direction yet, if ownership only see's it as a profit for them only.. Still time to let it play out.
