Davis was dealing with injuries (that required off-season surgery) last year, too.

I agree, but their defense should take a step back without Johnson and Zimmer.

I can't see the drop off from Zimmer to Guenther being too bad but it'll definitely be a downgrade. But I'm really not too broken up about MJ being gone although the team would undoubtedly be better with him. I mean, the defense definitely got worse after Hall and Atkins got hurt but I'm not so sure them being there turns any losses into wins or anything.

Veteran players with a certain number of years in the league aren't subject to waivers, but all young players are.

To be claimed, they have to be signed to the full team roster, and the claims operate with draft order priority (Texans have the first shot at everyone).

Aha! Thanks for the lesson.

I've watched three games this past couple of weeks where MJ was the key reason we won. He's a huge omission. The NE game in particular he batted a ton of easy completions and caused pressure every other snap. I like Gillberry a lot and am optimistic re: Hunt. That said, MJ was either the best or second best member of the Bengals defense last year. It was a huge loss.

Losing Zimmer may hurt in the long run, but for now the defensive scheme will remain more or less exactly the same. Meanwhile, watch out for Margus Hunt at LDE now that he has a year under his belt and knows a little bit about football. The Bengals coaches are pretty giddy about him this season.

Yeah, if we're lucky he could be almost as good as Michael Johnson was in 2013 (9 PDEF) or 2012 (11.5 sacks).


Dude had more passes swatted down last year than Watt.

football.

Shelley Smith has botched like 5 snaps in camp so far. Miami is going to need a real center to fill in for Pouncey.

He doesn't even need to be good. We just need someone who can get the ball to Tannehill reliably.

I just realized the irony of the situation. I am lamenting the loss of Mike Pouncey and his ability to snap the ball properly.

Oh god I'm having flashbacks of John Brantley running after high snaps.

Keeping Johnson would have meant letting go of Green, Dalton or Burfict instead. Hunt was specifically drafted to replace him, and I wager he will. By the way, it took Johnson 3 years to become productive.

Son of a bitch, Sanders Commings just got back on the field today.

Who knows if it's a big deal or not, but there was a lot of hope that he'd be the answer at free safety. And as far as I can tell he's been injured for his entire career so far.

It didn't have to. If you gave Johnson the contract he currently has with the Bucs, you could very easily have given an extension to Burfict and had money left over. Green is with the team for 2 years, minimum. Dalton could be with the team for one extra year. Both deals can be extended with the franchise tag. None of that even takes into account the growing cap number.

I know Johnson was a long wait, but Johnson also knew what football was and had played it for a while/didn't start his sophomore season as an old man. Hunt is not going to magically replace Johnson. Also, Hunt isn't taking Johnson's spot on the line.
