titanruss Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Of course VY didnt get "ruined" by Fishdick. but Fisher definitely never wanted to be associated with helping him after his "breakdown" (which - btw - partly happened because Fisher not wanting him) and openly tried to move on early in VYs career. Sabotage is not a bad word for it... but sabotage implies VY would have been successful. Which was a stretch based on his makeup. VY was never going to be a great pro.. But he coulda been a much better placeholder with a coach that supported him after year 2. Fisher, the leader, failed his team and city and ultimately proved his haters right. conceited and slimey became appropriate descriptors for the average HC and now the whole league knows that truth some of us saw here early.

Popular Post OILERMAN Posted March 18 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 18 The ol Fisher ruined or didn't help VY is maybe the most retarded narrative in sports history. That retard couldn't even keep his UT job, where he did nothing Justafan, SleepingTitan, Starkiller, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanskick8851 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Still have plenty of money to burn for restructures for Simmons + Skoronski and still add maybe 1-2 of the better players left in free agency (Zeitler + one of Bosa/Jennings/Reader/Okereke) Justafan, and SleepingTitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ctm Posted March 18 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 18 Nothing guaranteed for Ridley in 2027. 22M cap savings if cut. IsntLifeFunny, OILERMAN, Justafan, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Glad to see Ridley get restructured to stay with the team. Now get Zeitler back under contract. Take care of Simmons and Sko. Then just draft a speed edge who can actually threaten quality tackles, an IOL who can actually start, a CB with length and speed who can hold up on the outside and press, a WR who doesn’t have a 50% drop rate, a LB who has speed and can cover, an explosive RB who can contribute on 3rd downs, and some depth basically everywhere AND actually hit on all of those positions. Piece of cake. SleepingTitan, DCTitan, and Supernope 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s has got to be a better use of cap space on a replaceable position like RB. Right. If you need a plowhorse to complement Love there are plenty of young cheap guys available to fill that role. rns90, and SleepingTitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF_Titan Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 We have no idea what Ridley is at this point. He was extremely inconsistent last year before the injury. It's hard for me to think he's going to be better a year older after the injury. I'm fine with letting him hang around at a cheaper price to see if he has anything left, but I doubt seriously he moves the needle much in the receiver room and it doesn't mean receiver is not still a high draft priority.

Wasn't he also injured in camp? Then the first 5 games were Cam's first in the NFL. Really hard to judge him off last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
