Interesting- Bowles said when asked about Wilks status we don't make anyone play that doesn't want to play. Also mentioned everyone is playing a little hurt in the NFL. Sounds to me like Wilk is a pussy
MO bitched and moaned about not getting paid. We paid him big!!! Turns into a ghost!!! More money for us after we cut his lazy ass.
. Your figures are way off. Assuming the cap goes up to $178 mill as predicted , we have around $64 million in cap space not $85 and with Wilkerson's release we come up just under $76 million in space. As far as very minimal players to sign , we will have alot of FAs. Some notable players Enunwa. Ealy Davis ASJ Clairborne Qvale Miles Dozier Cantanzaro Wesley Johnson Figure conservitively $30 mill And around 20 others who even at $500 k will eat another $10 mill from the cap. We're in very good shape cap wise but there are plenty of players to resign and or replace
Jeffro thinks Mo has his period and Bowles is okay with that. I'm pretty sure it's his foot and shoulder, and not his pussy, tho. We'll have to wait til game time to find out. There's some fans beside themselves that the idiot Toilet Bowls isn't starting the Great Ed Stinson in place of Mo. What could Toilet possibly be thinking not rolling with Ed Fucking Stinson?!
We should sit Wilk a week before the bye and give him two full weeks of rest and recovery work. Could he just be so banged up that he can’t play at full speed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
read OTC. my numbers are correct we have 64mil next year plus an additional 19mil in carry over form this year so 83million total. I rounded to 85 but it's much closer then your 64 lol. none of those guys are breaking the bank. many will get smaller deals. only claiborne i can see getting a decent amount )8-10mil a year) everyone else should be 6 or less
gonna just bump this for all the shit Mo has gotten this season, last 2 weeks he's been looking like his old self. Hopefully back for good!
Yep. Just when Bowles publicly announced he was considering benching him, he miraculously recovers from his injuries. Mo was just not giving effort. He's playing for his contract now, nothing else. If we keep him, he will take the season off again next year . If released he will burn who ever pays him.
If somebody is slow from multiple injuries, you guys always claim no effort. I don't get that. People get hurt and when they are hurt they are not as explosive. Fans just can't tell the difference so they automatically assume effort, because they don't know any better. Wilk has had 2 good games in a row now and seems to have gotten that explosiveness back. I know this doesn't fit the narrative for the "Wilk gave up after the contract" people, but come on people.
its an effort thing. It's not about explosiveness anyway. The old Wilkerson used to pursue down the line. He would put those big mitts out and grab runners from behind or chase them down. He would not give up in pass rush. Since he got his contract he has not been doing that. He has been half-assing it out there and like the poster ahead of you noted - it took Bowles publicly suggesting his benching before he started giving effort again.
I agree, I've also seen WAY too much of this scenario: Initial pass rush move doesn't work Stand an arm's length from the O-lineman Try and bat down the pass Lazy, no hustle, not worth the money we're paying him
Funny the injury cleared up asap as he got threat of being benched, you think it is a coincidence it cleared up the very same week ? Obviously you do going off your post, I would advise not opening your door to salesmen
Bowles never considered benching Mo this year. If so can you provide that link or proof that Bowles said that this year? Cause I saw a headline about that a week or so ago, but it wasn't actually from Bowles mouth
It was prior to the Miami game.after the Friday practice when questioned about wills poor practice . Quote from Bowles : If he’s capable of playing, we’ll play him,” the coach said. “We don’t make anybody play that doesn’t want to play. … It’s been thought of though ...." You can google and search Boles press conferences if you like. You will find it if you do a search.
Remember, Wilkerson received heavy criticism in the off season when he was accused of being out of shape. That should have motivated him just the same. People just put way to much into media drama and effort. If it was an effort issue, why would he care about being benched? It takes no effort at all to sit the bench and he still gets paid. You honestly think that Wilkerson only played well because of Bowles' statement? He's been fighting through not 1 but 2 injuries most of the year. I'm sorry but that takes incredible faith to believe that it's automatically related. Remember he was benched last year and it didn't help at all. Why would Wilkerson not want to try when he's got $30 or so million dollars on the line if he gets cut at the end of the year? It makes no sense financially and it hurts his future. If he's really all about the money like people are insinuating, then it's contradictory to not try. NY fans just want to have that guy to blame. They need somebody to crucify. Any time somebody slows down, they aren't trying. People did the same thing to Revis last year when he declined. It wasn't that he was getting old and slowing down, it was "he didn't try". If you put me out there with a group of NFL athlete, I would also look like I wasn't trying in comparison, even if I worked my ass off.
