It's interesting that they are on the pro personnel side.

I was expecting the ax to fall on the college scouting side.  Interesting.

The point is that Ladd could replace Johnson at a fraction of the cost. If Jaycee stays healthy, they're gonna have to make some hard decisions in a couple of years.

Or Thielen in the slot…

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.  It’s all spilt milk under the bridge.

let's get way more controversial....ask them about cargo shorts and if it's Pee-can or Puh-khan. 

Pffl.  Eastern or western is the only question that matters.

Isn’t it ironic that someone with the username ‘sniffany’, has a problem with Coker.

Is that Mel Kiper?

Should have never been put in a position to return punts

I returned punts my JV year in high school.  It was not a pretty sight.  I made the Keystone Cops look like Devin Hester.

Unreal.  Only a very bad team can pull that off.

If he doesn't improve they may bench him by the bye

No, don’t bench him.  Ride him all the way to 0-17 and the first pick of 2025 draft.  Tank commander.

Frazier gone.  That hurts!

For being as rich as he is he's just a regular guy just like the rest of us. I think fans forget that sometimes.  He wasn't born into privilege, he earned it the hard way. That I respect about him. But he's going to have to figure this football ownership thing out because he's wearing out my patience with him.

I think he’s still struggling and hasn’t come to terms with the idea that it is more difficult to be a successful NFL owner than to be a successful hedge fund owner.

On paper and in hope, everything looks much better out there for the wideouts. And let's not forget Thielen who still has it and was our steady performer even when opposing teams knew he was all we had. Heck, give that guy some breathing room and he'll turn out an even better year.

We need, need, need help at TE, though. That TE room is pretty mundane at best.

Better line, better receivers, better get some performance out of Bryce and we'll be better than before.

We did not set a high bar to jump over to count ourselves as "improved."  

Nice observation on Thielen.  I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves.

Someone else has pointed out that Canales offense doesn’t appear to feature the TE in the passing game much.  If Canales wants a feature TE, I’m sure he will be whispering in Morgan’s ear about it.  Just my opinion.

This may be the influence of the Bryce camp, an expression of what they want.  I believe I read on some post here (Huddle) that Bryce’s father was pounding the table for Legette.  

I hope this is wildly wrong.  If true, we are so screwed as a franchise.

Just a quick internet scan shows several articles humping the same claim that Bryce’s father wants Legette…

Id like to see a combo of wr/linebacker in the 2nd but if a good corner slips that would work as well.  I just think our linebacker room is probably the worst positional group on the team at this moment

I think it is a coin toss between LB and secondary but, I understand your sentiment.  It’s a pretty sad state of affairs.

Wanted to bump this thread bc there is definitely a misperception with corners going on around these parts, especially a modern slot defender.  

--so here's my attempt to sell it--

The Texans, who we're all slobbering over building how we should have, started their rebuild around Stingley (3rd overall) and a certain sub-6' Baylor slot DB in Jalen Pitre (at 37) who's been awesome.

SEA has w/DROY finalist Devon Witherspoon who is rotating in and out of slot (monster year), the Lions just took Brian Branch high, CJ Gardner Johnson has been rolling the past few years... 

Most notably, Trent McDuffie is the best in the game and a big reason why KC won the SB, Jalen Ramsay popularized the refined roles for a versatile slot defender role, but the crop of these guys are all 6'0 and under, playing al over the field and heavily in the box.  

They also because super important in the 2-high shell defense we run.  With lighter boxes, run support is critical.  They need to cover the middle of the field, man up against larger slot receivers and TEs, and not to mention get mixed in as a blitzer. 

Just go check out Sainristil's HUGE game saving play against OSU's 6'4 250 Cade Stover and some of his monster run stops over the season. 

It is also a critical position for Evero's defense bc this guy is communicating just like a LB and it's why I sense why Chinn wasn't quite a fit--he just didn't have the presnap mentality we needed in this regard.  You need to be a coach on the field in a Kuechly-esque sense.  I think it 10000% makes sense why we're considering Sainristil.  

Ok, table pound over.   

In my fever dreams we select the next James Bradberry but, your argument for a slot corner is persuasive.
