Who is your game hero

I think you need to bring back Sneed because I think we saw exactly what he brings that we don't otherwise get from those rookie.

He's just so varied and so physical. And I still think he's a little under the radar so he may not cost as much as his value to the squad.

I hope they do and I'll think they'll make him a good offer. Having the four of them would be great.

You can just never have too many quality DBs.

They get hurt. Not always catastrophically but they're always dinged up. 3 of 'em will be dirt cheap for the next 3 seasons so you can pay for one. And if you really think Cook can take over for Thornhill, that's 4 rookie pay scale starters for the next 3 seasons.

You can afford to keep Sneed. Any of those guys you choose to retain can allow you to push money off for another season, giving you 4 years of cap flexibility with your DBs.

I've seen enough of Cook now to believe he can be a starter in this league.

He seems to be a fast learner, he got beat and the second time he made the play.

I still don't think he can replace Thornhill but I think we can draft someone that can.

It's just not his game. Yeah, he had a nice tip on that ball late, but dude - you have GOT to get turned on that 4th down ball to Chase. That was a really inexcusable play. And it's been pretty common for him this year; he's just not very good in space. I also think he was the guy that got there early on the DPI that overturned the int, right? And he didn't have to - he just mis-timed it. Now I think that's the kind of thing he can improve on, but he just doesn't seem natural in coverage.

I still think he's either a guy who can replace Reid long-term or simply be a really good S3 for years. But I don't see him as a FS in the way we use Thornhill.

Yeah, I'm not at all sold that they're going to let Thornhill walk. Cook is just fine where he's at...for now.

I agree.

We had a “Gay or Sneed” thread awhile back. To me, it’s obviously Sneed.

I really like Willie Gay, but man, it feels like there is always something wrong with him. He’s always dealing with a lingering injury and he’s had off the field issues.

I love the player at his current price, but I’d be hesitant to make him a priority to re-sign at any high dollar amount.

Gay isn't gonna get some stupid contract...the biggest issue with Sneed is he might get 20 mill a year.

That deep ball to Chase where two DBs were right there but no one even looked had me fuming

The bright side is that they ended well, and the scheme from Spags looked really damn good
