Blache Excited About Returning
 

Here's the link to JLC's newest article about Blache returning next year:

So I think that says he isn't retiring. Are we all sure he is definitely 100% he will be back? I have no reason to think otherwise. Thoughts?

Good news. I'm glad Greg is returning if that is the case, as it appears to be. The D has been solid this season.

As how good news it is; it means we definitely need to either sign or draft a good DT, in order to get the D-line to be productive such as collapsing pockets and get sacks (IMO)

Re: Blache Excited About Returning
 

Yeah there seems to be no reason to think otherwise. He's a straight shooter:

[QUOTE]"And honestly, to be quite candid, this time of year is never a good time of year to make a decision, when you're tired," Blache said. "And that's what I did last year, I made a decision when I was tired. It's better for me to wait until I'm not, but right now, yeah, I'm up for it. I mean, it's been fun. Quite candidly, it's been fun. If I have this same quality of people to work with, it's easy to come to work every day."[/QUOTE]

I'm happy to hear it. Maybe we are actually going to build on what we have for a change! I have a feeling next year will be great for the Skins!!!

Surprised to hear it, but it could be a good thing.

Currently betting on Vinny drafting a corner with our first pick.

Should have taken a corner last year, thankfully Hall has fallen into our laps. I'd have been in heaven if we got Cason last year.

This year? No cornerbacks in the draft really impress me

I'm hoping the front office agrees with you. Actually my real guess is the team will focus on LB's, RT's, and DT's. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if their first pick was a LB but I would still prefer a DT, unless of course a guy like Rey Meluga falls to us.

Re: Blache Excited About Returning
 

I'm thinking we're best off with the same DL we currently have. Yeah, this group needs some youth. But we make them play very strict gap schemes against the run and the pass, so adding more talent to that, considering how talented they are already, seems like a waste of resources.

Don't be suprised if they look for a running back high this year. Call it a hunch.

I also had a hunch about them taking Malcolm Kelly after they picked Devin Thomas.

HA!!! Don't make me laugh I predicted they would take Laron Landry back in 2007!!!!!!!!.......alright fine I lobbied for him and they happened to take him.....sad face :(.

In the meantime I'm hoping that they do address some of their needs in free agency particularly OLB and RT. As that would give them a little more freedom to go with BPA during the draft.

Re: Blache Excited About Returning
 

Good to hear that Blache will be coming back. I hope we get him a pass rusher or two.
