But Rhule’s comments make me feel they see a biiig separation between Zylstra and Saunders/Bayless.

Who would’ve thought we’d go from 3 to 1 D. Moores by week 1

Considering its 17 games now, I'm going to see your stats and say: 3800 yards 23 TDs 15 INTs 62% completion Under 20 sacks. Yeah, I said it. Extra points TB in Denver (17 games): 2200 yards (400 completions) 5 TDs 5 INTs

We're doing it live

Carl is all in.

That Temple team notably had Dion Dawkins who Rhule recruited, one of the better starting LTs in the NFL these days up in Buffalo.

Most were on his 2015 team which should note had 14 NFL players. He heavily recruited Franklin but left for Baylor by the time Sam arrived.

For f*cks sake we have 2 Baylor players on the squad. We may need an entire thread deticated to the same 5 people recycling the same joke over and over and over

Shi is back in 2-3 weeks so I guess they're fine rolling with Moore, Robby, Marshall, Shi, & Zylstra 5 is a go. We officially gave Ricci a FB designation and are rolling with 4 TEs. Gon' be cray!

I remember liking Morgan in the draft buildup from his year, had some good downfield throws in college. Decent highlights, didn't seem like he had shown much once in the bigs. But might as well kick the tires right?

Some names that jumped out to me (then google verified lol): Tyrell Cosby OT - Could start at LT with Moton at RT Jermaine Eleumunor LG - Here's a starting LG Reid Sinnett QB Nate Hairston CB Temple (yep, I said it, get one of them 2015 Owls in here) Karl Joseph S My biggest wish is a Paradis and/or Elflein replacement

I think we min need 8 wins or else the seat as mentioned will get mighty hot. And then we give them an ultimatum to find a QB. Personally, I'm not bought into Darnold until I see something better than NYJ. However, I'm not bought out of the staff and that we don't have a good trajectory going on with Rhule & Brady. Rhule has been here what, ~400 days? Let's see how they respond their second season, let it unfold a bit into the year; that's typically a make or break timeframe to see if these guys are on par with quality NFL coaches or if they can only do so much. Overall, I hope Tepper can recognize if that becomes the case but it's too early to judge either way (at least for me). I thought Rhule passed a few good 1st year tests last season. It find it odd that people are so on about basically having our 4th TE (who still may be cut), 2 promising young DBs, and a somewhat crappy aggressive backup QB from Temple who may not even survive the coming weeks. OH NO, SCHOOL BIAS!

I get the feeling you may be iffy with our coach's plan and the current backup QB. Call it a hunch.

I thought we landed a TE that year. Remember having that 1st pick in the 4th and people were like, oh damn that's a steal. He's an all around TE, huge upside. Just too bad he couldn't work out the fundamentals at this point. Frustrating because I thought he could have been fire.

I'd only go after a backup that could be young and come out of nowhere (like that Miami kid) or a guy that could win us a game if we're in contention (unsure if that's really out there relative to what we get in PJ) So, if we fair alright but Darnold doesn't look like the answer (which I suspect could easily happen--I.E. 7-9 wins, no playoffs, Darnold looks iffy at times), then it doesn't matter who the backup is; this crew will be mandated by Tepp to either find a proven vet or draft one high and just make it happen. That's why I don't think this year's QB2 matters all that much.

For those getting ready to make fun of a Temple Owl signing, I can actually see us going after Nate Hairston CB from the Broncos. He was battling for their 3-4 CB spot, still young, has some good years under his belt, and part of Rhule's Temple squad at their best.

Notable Observations: Waivers will get traction/pick up tomorrow. Burris' hip is roughed up, doesn't sound serious. Getting injection today; back tomorrow Shi Smith is 2-3 week timetable to return. NOT IR'd Roster is fluid, emphasized a few times Overall, he does not give me the sense we're set. They're looking. He's talking with Scott about options. PJ is the QB2 as of today. He was very pointed to not say he's here to stay. Dan Morgan helped bring in the new DE. Shined in preseason, seems like a promising pickup Interesting point for Rhule pessimists: He explicitly mentioned that as a head coach and GM, if you drafted a guy that doesn't fit in your plans anymore, you need to learn to move on. Can't be shy from just cutting the bait and moving on from someone you wanted at a certain point for one reason or another. He was pretty firm on 4 TEs and a fullback approach with Gio. Collin seems to have made it for STs/a do it all type, Gio is a FB, Tremble is an everything guy with upside, and Arnold is our starter.

Rhule is always so coy; the fact he said it's fluid means we could still make a handful of moves and just not one or two. We're still 3-5 moves away from the week 1 roster IMO.

With him not on the team, no. PS, maybe. I see a void even if Elf can back up Paradis.

It's crazy how quickly the Ron-Cam-Luke era ended but it did and that's dat. Dabs done gone now and dat's that. We're in GEQBUS Rhuling times.

Won't lie, I think they all look to be pretty good. Wilson and Lance showed the most upside, Fields had some really good moments/a few shining throws, but Jones overall showed the most. And Trevor coming in with Luck and beyond expectations did not help how he looked. But it's so damn early.

G/C Elf/Paradis backup plans (They seem committed to Brady at T, can't trust Daley to be healthy) LB depth - Stanford and Johnston can't be the best we can do behind our young group QB - But I see only ~2 options so that's a long shot

Or maybe we're finalizing a Thomas deal for a treasured 7th haha

One more to go and we have 5 TEs.

If you can't have our extra LS, then no one can. Kind of happy Melvin is gone, seems like we've got more athletic youth to have in the secondary.
