JuJu’s Twitch: “Free Agent! Where Should I GO?”

Hines57 said:
Correct. Bud is gone and Highsmith is now that guy at ROLB. If Juju is also gone then we need to draft a WR high in the draft and also find a way to keep Washington.

If by drafting a WR high in the draft you mean 4 or 5th round then YES. We have to high of need elsewhere and we have a good compliment of WRs that are fully capable currently on the team. I'm thin King "trenches" through 3





Salute the nation

Good luck JuJu! It was fun watching you in B&G. He'll get a nice contract elsewere. Hopefully, it's not with an AFCN team.

He would be a great addition for the Ravens to give Jackson a wide out that will make the difficult inside catches..

That don't have that as part of their wide out group currently..

I think they drafted Boykin to be that guy...but his hands are not good enough and he doesnt seem to be very interested in filling that difficult role..

Reason he fell to the Steelers was he was raw, it didn't help that he had Peezy tutoring him either.

But you know the ol saying better late than never?

Besides Porter as the OLB coach, the Steelers played Dupree on the wrong side and dropped their OLBs into coverage too much. Once they fixed the latter two items Dupree's game vastly improved.

Well he had two but yeah not a complete body of work to look at he is about average in pressures according to PFF.

But what he can do is set the edge and tackle well which garnished a higher grade. He also is pass defense capable.

As a pass rusher he isn't in Bud's league but too early to tell if he ever will be.

Which is why you bring in a OLber in the draft in the 3 to 5 range to compete and press him.

Here is a good read on him.

Well, no, Highsmith had two sacks for the entire season. I'm talking about the one sack in the six games he started after replacing Dupree.

Coincidentally, that article you posted was published on December 3rd, before he had made any starts, and was written by a guy who appears to be in the 8th or 9th grade.

Highsmith is better in coverage than I thought he would be, and he can tackle in run support. His pass rushing capabilities need to improve, which is entirely possible -- he seems like a hard worker.

Well that is a meatloaf two out of three ain't bad. And yeah he does seem like a hard worker so I give him the benefit of the doubt in developing into a solid pass rusher. Still I draft a OLBer

Competition is never a bad thing.

I don't think teams are going to throw a lot of money at Bud. The injury looms large and brings drop off and not ready out the gates questions. Plus you throw in the fact he had the best pass rusher in the NFL right next to him. I was thinking he could get a 1 year 10 mil prove it deal.

lol even WITH the injury, there's no chance that dupree is taking a 1 year deal for just $10 mil.

he would be a great addition for Morrow and Higgens or Baker and Landry. He needs a compliment like he had here with AB. All three teams would give him that. Him, LJ and Hollywood Brown would be a nice tandem.
 
Sometimes I wonder if other fan bases are as dramatic as ours.
“Kid plays video games and dances. Posts social media videos” - “DRAMA! ANTONIO BROWN 2.0, get out of town!”
So quick to forget our beloved Hines Ward, Big Ben didn’t always keep their heads down and mouths shut... but Jujus actions are toxic?.. I hate how quick our fans are to turn on players.
 
I don't remember Hines or Ben calling out other teams before a game or doing stupid things to piss them off by dancing on their logo etc and then getting knocked the **** out near said logos. JuJu stupidly put an X on his back and then was unable to back up his bullshit. Teams may not have liked Hines but he was tough as nails and respected by all his peers , JuJu not so much.
 
I really think JuJu is a few bricks shy of a load...

And I'm not trying to be funny...
 
Let Dupree go and keep juju. This isn’t a fortnite team it’s an NFL team. Not even close , hoe menu wins did we have after bud went down ?

In his chat yesterday, Dulac indicated that too many people in the know believe that JuJu wants to leave for a big contract in a big market.
