Joe Douglas plan B?
- Thread starter gmf1369

They're both 30. This sounds more like a short-term plan to fix the line.
cheap options, falling on your sword who swung and missed by a mile on the original plan to fix the line this off season...
Yeah, I am not as big a fan of this plan. Sure, it will be cheaper, but there's a reason for that. They'll have to turn around and address it again in a couple years, if that.
not Joe's fault no one wants to come here
Need to acquire draft picks and hopefully Joe D. has an eye for 2nd Rd picks.
I'd rather draft our own guys from the start anyway
me too, and we could do it this year if that is Gases' plan -- oh sorry meant to say Joe Douglas' plan...
I hope Douglas really is running things. to think that Gase might be has to be crazy, doesnt it?
Actually, Sack, I think Fant is 2 or 3 years younger and a little bigger but they have about the same PFF rating. Still this is an iffy move from my standpoint. Part of the problem is the price of these free agents. They are all getting over paid, and that's normal, but we don't have all that much money to spend, so Joe has probably, and maybe wisely, put a limit on how much he's willing to over spend on free agency talent. So far he hasn't impressed me but I don't know what his plan is so I guess I'll just have to hold my breath and see what transpires.
he was talking about C/G Stefen Wisniewski & G Greg Van Roten both are 30...
but yes Fant is currently 27 will be 28 next season...
Sorry, my bad, I missed that.
None of these names are going to make a splash. Panthers want Van Routen back. His stats are good. Wisinewski has been around a while, he's a decent player, but getting older. Douglas is not going to overspend. It's FA, guys sign elsewhere, it happens. I think we build the line through the draft. Again, let's just see what the plan is - the Patriots sit out of FA every year and find a way to get to the playoffs. It's all about finding value and guys that fit your plan. We've seen the Mac approach - go big or go home, and that has failed us. Let's see what happens.
My plan B is to wait for Sam Darnold to leave the Jets so I can get a new team.
I was talking about Van Roten and Wisniewski both being about 30.
Yeah, G pointed that out. Sorry. In my defense I'm old and don't see so good.
No harm, no foul.
