Commanders sign Bowen **merged**

[iceberg]

Jerry will panic and sign the top DE on the market.

some fans will quote what they always quote and bash jones despite the evidence around them.

Nope. Just my opinion.

 

[iceberg]

I know people love to minimize any and all signings by the Skins, but this one hurt. Not like we're losing a Pro Bowler, but he was a good rotation guy that Ryan supposedly loved. Plus, we were already thin on the d-line.

maybe. but he's getting starter money now so his rotation spot is now open. i'd not wanna pay starter coin for a rotation player.

 

[TheFinisher]

I think Spears can be a stud in Ryan's defense. Just saying his upside is higher than Bowens.

Spears has zero pass rushing moves, Bowen has one of the best bullrushes in the league. Spears is JAG and basically all he's ever gonna be at this point, Bowen has always made the most of his opportunities and was about to get his chance to start this year.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Why are people freaking out? Bowen was hardly a Pro-Bowl talent and we'll be trading up if we sign Cullen Jenkins.

Spears is a better player than Bowen. Bowen had more pass rush, but if I had a choice of a better DE pass rush and weak against the run, or a big time DE run stuffer that doesn't produce much pass rush. I have to take the run stuffer because it's the 3-4 DE position. I would rather depend on my OLB for pass rush and have a brick wall manning the middle.

The problem? Spears will probably demand more money than Bowen. I guess rightfully so.

 

[mldardy]

****, that's a big blow to the defense. Bowen was one of the few players on the team that could get after the QB.

Anytime you're ready to open up the checkbook Jerry.......

:bang2:

Good Lord stop. A big blow to the defense.:laugh2:

as was mine.

and i stand by what i said. it's very clear garrett is driving yet the 1st op you get a bash jones shot opportunity, there it flies as if you're looking for those ops and make them up when not there. it's just painfully clear to me no matter what should ever happen between today and the real myan calandar world ending thing, people like you will take any chance you can to bash jones.

it's like a pavlovs dogs thing.

Still hearing Dallas and New Orleans in the mix for Cullen Jenkins. Overall market for DTs been soft to form.

Heres another twitter source on the matter. Hope its legit interest and not Eric Weddle interest

 

[speedkilz88]

Yeah, I'm not sure why Jenkins is our knight in shining armour here. He hasn't exactly been reliable over the course of his career

Have you seen him play? Jenkins automatically gives the Cowboys a push up the middle that they have never had before. That gives Ware and Spencer a more direct route to the qb.

I put this in the other thread too:

He's also 30+ and has stayed completely healthy only one season out of the past 3. You want to gamble big bucks on this guy?

LOOKIT PEOPLE....bowen is not worth 5 mill...if he plays everydown he is going to get tired and that passrushing skill he has will be dimished,,,he is a situational player...3rd down rotation guy...this is danny overpaying again! skins are doing great IMO....

Bowen - overpaid for a situational guy

they have no qb and didnt try and get one

stallworth? are you serious? he is average like bowen

clemons?

gaffney?

stokely?

wilson?

ARE YOU SERIOUS? WHAT A JOKE

 

[mmohican29]

Maybe, because we currently have NO DE's of any salt at all on this team under contract. That's ZERO.

Why are you picking on TheSport78? Jerry Jones let a good player get away. They are upset about it.

BTW, i have loved Twitter this past week. So much cool information being passed around.

 

[HoosierCowboy]

overpaid, good for him--not sure our coaches wanted to keep him--I'm more than happy to let them get their guys and not Phillip's hand-me-downs

i dont care if he plays 11 games next year as long as he has 7 or 8 sacks and we win 8 of them...and he is there for the playoffs! he will still be more productive in the 11 games than anyone on the d line except for rat!

Bowen never was very solid in the run game. He's a situational pass rusher IMO, with some upside.

Agreed. I would've liked Bowen to stay. I thought he may do well on the open market.
