Didn't Marshall play real well filling in for lavar in 04? Don't our silly ass coaches already know this?

I know Briggs is real good. But how is he going to play in our system with a line that's not as good as the Bears? I bet his play slips if he comes here. How is he going to play after he gets a new deal? It's like we always chase other teams players. When are we ever going to draft a guy, let him grow in our system, and reward that player? All of our own guys that we draft walk out the door. It's such bullshit! This is why we never make the playoffs.

The smart thing to do is give our players new deals before they hit the market. We already let Dock walk. We should be signing Cooley to a long term deal right now. Instead of chasing some crybaby bitch who goes on ESPN/NFL Network ( and whoever else will listen to him) and says he's not playing for 7.2 million.

Something else with Briggs is that he plays in that Tampa-2 formation with the Bears. It leaves Briggs's position as the only one that's essentially unblocked most of the time. So he's benefitted from that too in addition to having loads of defensive talent around him too. Yet he wants to be a whiny, greedy guy who won't take like a 600% raise to play for the NFC Champs.
