I know most fans think it worked swimmingly with Starks, but jn reality it's a complete waste of time and resources with a player of any value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-86818714760571741632013-02-23T22:38:02.091-05:002013-02-23T22:38:02.091-05:00the transition tag still exists correct?
Is there...the transition tag still exists correct?<br /><br />Is there any reason not to apply that Keenan Lewis or possibly even Wallace if Lewis gets a deal before then?<br /><br />Does the transition tag affect your cap at all while its applied? I would assume not. <br /><br />I just don't see the reason to not use it for Lewis.

At the start of the 2012 season the average starter was 2 years older than that of any other team. It looks like it will only be an older defense this year. Now with that said, there's no problem with an older defense if they're playing as good as ours did this past season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-38428116352098714712013-02-22T14:29:08.950-05:002013-02-22T14:29:08.950-05:00Spence seemed optimistic late in the season.

But the team has to be that way until they see him on the field.<br />They can't go into 2013 counting on him, which is why Foote will be re-signed.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-19765656501716508972013-02-22T10:44:41.942-05:002013-02-22T10:44:41.942-05:00Joe...I agree, but I think we need some perspectiv...Joe...I agree, but I think we need some perspective on the season. It is sometimes hard to look at things objectively. <br /><br />First, DL is right, we did beat the Ravens once and could have beaten them twice...without Ben both times. One bad special teams play is what we were away from beating them twice with backup QBs. <br /><br />Second, despite this team not really playing up to expectations, we really could have had a completely different season. This is a team which lost 5 games by 3 points. 4 of those came on game ending FGs by the opponent. That means those games literally came down to 2 or 3 plays that weren't executed correctly, including the 5th game. It is weird to think that this team, had they executed a play here or there that they didn't, could have been 13-3? Take away the fumblerooskie game and they had a shot at 14-2. <br /><br />Now they didn't finish there, but to say this team is full of holes is probably not very accurate. The D is not nearly as old as everyone would have you to believe. The offense is so young that it is hard to really figure out where all the issues are, but it will need some new talent now with Wallace and Mendy going elsewhere. We got the largest contribution as rookies from a 7th round pick and an undrafted free agent.TarheelFlyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-83817026695404803822013-02-22T10:42:18.749-05:002013-02-22T10:42:18.749-05:00Woodley = Fat AlbertWoodley = Fat AlbertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-61942542123553335642013-02-22T10:39:14.086-05:002013-02-22T10:39:14.086-05:00dale,
