I don't know if he can actually beat up Sewell, but by God he believes he can. PSA: Don't **** with Bolton. ****ing Christ. |

Get punked by a dude you have 100 lbs on, stand up thinking you're gonna bow up on him and he's happy to stand chest to chest with you. Then his bigger, crazier brother gets in your grill as well. Yeah, it's time to live to fight another day at that point. Bolton vs Sewell might be interesting. Sewell vs Bolton AND Gay? That's a bloooooooodbath. |
Quote:
Oh yeah, Sewell better make his peace if he throws down with both those dudes. Gay was on his ass before he even bowed up to Bolton. And hell, from the looks of the scrum, Bolton may not have needed any help. All this reminds me that I'm a giant ****ing pussy. ROFL |
So Bolton can probably come ask for what Roquan Smith got right?
Everyone good with that? |

I think he’s a guy you extend early with a Snith type extention added to the end of his rookie deal so you get him paid while also getting ahead of contract inflation. |

Can middle age white guys stop referring to salary/pay as “bag” it’s embarrassing.

Bolton is not work breaking the bank on with Chenal AND a cheaper option in Tranquill on the roster.
Both can play MLB for this team, and I wouldn't sleep on Cole Christiansen. Prepare to say goodbye to Big Dick Nick. |
I’m really not seeing what some of you are with Tranquil. He wouldn’t make a good Bolton replacement.

He's a BAMF |
Quote:
He's by no means a replacement. If anything he's a replacement for Gay as a sort of Will backer. He's not a 3-down Mike. |

Hey Nick, WHAT ARE THOSE!! LMAO Dude could swim the 100 meters in 1 kick. He looks like he's taking the ring to Mordor. His shoe maker takes measurements, swaps the numbers and builds his shoes sideways. |

<a href="https://drmuroffpodiatry.com/helping-you-beat-ankle-tendonitis/">Picture of Ankle Tendonitis</a> I got this four months before basic training and couldn't shake it. Had to go through basic with my foot ballooning out of my shoe. Took eight or nine months to get over it. Part of that was I was young and stupid and didn't understand the magic of naproxin sodium and ice. |
13 tackles, 1 TFL, and 2 QB Hits.
He’s a Super Bowl LB. |
Would have liked that interception to start OT but, yeah, dude is great!
Lol, I wonder if his hands look like his feet. |

Werner $8.3 million APY just signed. Logan Wilson $9 million APY. If Bolton wants anywhere from $9-10 million APy fine. More than that? **** off

Shifting back towards signing him long term with this shift to focusing on running the ball more, especially amongst the top contenders year to year.

Yeah he’s gonna want at least $14-15 million APY. The problem for him is that he’s never been a pro bowler or all pro so his argument isn’t exactly strong.
I think you stick to a hard line of $14-15 million APY with a backloaded structured contract that allows you to make the cap hits lower the first 2-3 years then have a way out when he gets expensive. |
I've been noticing a lot lately that we are one of the only defenses who can consistently audible to an offense's audible. We go check for check at the LOS a ton and that's gotta be a Bolton thing on some level.
That makes him worth more than just the $9-10M you'd probably pay him as a player. They gotta find the line somewhere, it isn't $20M. But he's worth more than $10M. |

But the reason I get a little wary here is that if it's THAT easy...why hasn't it gotten done? Bolton wants to stay here, Spags obviously wants to keep him. If it's as easy as I think it should be - why hasn't it gotten done by now? He's more valuable to this team than he is any other team in football, IMO. It would be a disservice to both player AND team for him to leave because someone is offering him $17 million/season. Which makes me wonder if he doesn't think someone may be willing to offer him $20 million. Or maybe if we have only offered him $12 million. Something has to be creating the disconnect. It can't be as easy as I think it is. |

So I think for that alone he needs to come back, and again, someone told me as long as Spags is here that there will be a big push to keep Nick. I know you can replace him with a guy that is a better athlete but man, the dude literally makes in game adjustments and it's why the defense gets better every quarter. |
I told y'all.
He's the reason Spags can run his defense the way he wants to. Do you really want to give that up? |
Quote:
|
I imagine Spagnuolo feels he's the best extension of his own brain on the field since at least Antonio Pierce.
No, he isn't going to wanna let that go. |
Wasn't it the Super Bowl last year when Spags credited Nick for wanting to run the McDuffie pressure on 3rd-and-4 that effectively got us the stop we needed to give the ball back to Mahomes?

Quote:
Spags doesn't just benefit from Bolton, Bolton benefits from being in such perfect harmony with his DC. They just work REALLY well together. |
Quote:

If I recall, we didnt think we could keep Gay but then were shocked at what he signed for. Like way less than we thought he would get.
Maybe Bolton saw that too? I am all for paying the man for what he has accomplished and will continue to but like someone else said, he is far more valuable here than he would be to another team. There is value in that, Bolton is smart enough to know that. Fingers crossed. |

It's almost like we have two Spags with Bolton. If he had the athletic ability of a Fred Warner he'd literally be the next Ray Lewis. |
Quote:
He asked Nick what he thought and Nick called it. |
Bolton's gonna show up again in the Super Bowl. I'm calling my shot. He's gonna have a big game.

Quote:
Philly is gonna wanna run the ball and he's going to need to have his guys lined up and gap sound while finishing the plays and taking on blockers to deal with this run game. He might be fantastic. He probably needs to be. |

It won't be wholesale -- this isn't going to be 80s/90s football where teams are routinely winning championships with dominant running games. But there ARE teams - more and more of them- that are going to try to win games with their running game. We have one in the West in LAC and probably another with Pete Carroll. Bolton may actually be a bit undervalued going forward if this trend continues. And man, it is SO easy to find another LB to run alongside him and cover some of those weaknesses in space. |

He ain't going to NOLA. |

As hot of a commodity as Spags is, let's not forget his defense opened the first half of one of these seasons as an NFL historically bad defense. 100% red zone fail rate. It was ****ing abysmal. Pretty sure it was Boltons rookie year, but Spags had "his guys" out there instead of the talent. Fans actually started a go fund me to buy out Dan Soresons deal lmao. Anyone running a complicated scheme that takes time for everyone to learn, nobody wants that shit. You win from the jump, or you hit the bricks. If Spags does take an HC job, the ownership better have some grace, because it's going to get really ****ing ugly before it starts getting good. |

That was also the year Honey Badger transformed into Money Badger. |
Quote:
Bills Ravens Lions Eagles Top seeds in the bracket this year, excluding the Chiefs of course, and they are all HEAVILY run dependent nowadays. Now, maybe the Bills will shift back the other way with another change in offensive philosophy, but the Ravens, Lions, and Eagles are built that way for the long haul. |
Quote:
Idk man I’m thinking we need to keep that guy somehow. He’s the strongest guy on the team and is extremely important to coverage schemes. He’s pretty much a DL in a LB’s body. We are gonna put him on the DL to simulate a Bear front and he’s one of the most athletic LB’s in the league. Feels like the run defense would take a massive hit losing him. |

But he ain't a pending FA just yet. And, let's not overstate his impact either. Nick Bolton took 388 snaps in run defense this year. Leo Chenal took 219. That's only 10 more than Mike Danna. No, he's not the most important part of our run defense because he's not even on the field for half the carries we face. I'd like to try to keep him, absolutely. But let's not act like he's even CLOSE to as important to this run defense as Nick Bolton is. |
Recognizing and reactionary sometimes. Cant train that usually kinda like Patrick.

Wasn't that after the AFCCG tho? |
Still on the fence about Bolton. For all the "quarterback of the defense" talk, there was a pretty good sample size from last year with and without Bolton and the defense was as good without as with.
He also had a pretty rough start to the season that has now been forgotten, he got exploited in like 3 games towards the start of the year (definitely Ravens, I think Bengals and one other?). Like others have said, probably just comes down to the money. I would like him to stick around but I really hope they don't overpay. |
