There is no reason to explain it. That guy lives in his own reality.

I am a little flabbergasted about not running the ball on Chicago more. I am merely a layman but I can see when there is a weakness to a defense to be exploited. Methinks that was pretty arrogant of Canales to not have adapted better than that. That's the big thing I am going to keep an eye on. Of course, our running attack may go to poo as our OL is now comprised.

Well I have been comparing us to the Browns for at least the last three years so....

I am hired as GM. Day one, I walked to the office next to mine: I proceed down the hall to the next office: I hit the next few offices on this floor of the building: Over the next few hours I make my way through the various positions in the building: Eventually, as I survey the empty offices and I sit and say to myself, "Well, time to get to work."

3-5 wins. I didn't think Bryce would get pulled this early or the OL to be this good. I also didn't expect the defense to be historically bad, just regular bad. I am not sure what to think overall yet about direction.

Well we had to something, I suppose.

We had our chance. We had our chance.

Well he is the 31st rated center out of 35 on another good OL in SD. The truth is he wasn't a very good center, hence why he was released by Baltimore.

Agreed. That team is built to win now. The melt down last year was inexcusable.

Stefanski just came off plenty of success so I think he will be safe. Watson is going to be the guy that catches all the heat there. Taylor I think will be fine, save a Panthers-esque sort of finish to the year. Pederson is probably on a much hotter seat. They were supposed to be ascending and finally have a fairly talented team on both sides of the ball but they are just miserable. I think he totes that blame if that continues the rest of the year.

We will see how it goes. I don't have super high hopes. If you are trying to develop a player and make him good, constantly creating turmoil usually leads to more struggles. The situation is actually finally stable so I really don't understand any thought of tinkering here. He's playing quite well, finally. This seems like Madden-esque tinkering without a real solid purpose.

Wow. This does smell of fugery. Methinks someone in the Rodgers camp got wind and ratted him out.

Bozeman was seen getting ragdolled far, far too often in pass protection. That isn't something we have seen with Corbett at all. Sure Ikey might be better at guard but if he is an above average LT(and he is playing like that) then why does that matter? Moton isn't an elite RT nor has he ever been. Is there any reason to move him?

Bozeman is an absolute turnstile. Corbett is an upgrade, without a question. However he is also dinged up a lot so you need a second option. Also, he's 29 so maybe getting a future guy(like maybe Zach Frazier in the 2nd round of the 2024 deaft) is a good idea. I guess I am just not seeing the issue with Ikey at the moment. He's solid in pass protection and dominant in the running game. What did you want? Trent Williams? That isn’t something you are likely to get unless you draft that guy. Joe Alt maybe? Okay, well then draft another LT with this future top 5 pick. Hunt to LT definitely does not seem like a great idea. He is a true guard, IMO. I don't think he is a guy that is going to excel at that.

Yeah Chuba was literally one of the only bright spots on the whole team last season, IDK where this "terrible" is coming from outside his first season or two. Hs is one of the extremely few guys we have EVER had actually develop.

Eh, I am not so quick to throw him out with the trash. I don't think Saleh would do appreciably better with this lot, for instance. Now, Saleh might have a much better eye for talent. I don't want to see him fired but I am not gonna riot in the streets if he ends up elsewhere. I will view it a lot like Joe Brady. Hs has conclusively proved he was a scapegoat but hasn't necessarily lived up to the label of McVay/Shananhan-esque wonderboy.

TBH, trading down is usually where we start fuging up really badly. Don't overcomplicate it. Just get safe(ish), elite talent in the top 5.

Embrace the suck and Tepper your expectations, my friend.

Listen, we have all done mushrooms, give the man a break....

I might buy that as a theory if Chuba didn't almost rush for almost 1000 yards behind an absolute dumpster fire line last season. Not to mention the fuging resources already tied up in that bum Miles Sanders. There is really zero excuse for drafting Brooks minus him having a HOF career.

Moving him to guard just isn't going to happen as was previously posted. We spent mega loot on OG's so that issue is settled forever. He has also been pretty dependable this season, as well. I don't see any need to make any changes. I think that left side will be fine. The right is probably gonna get their asses handed to them without Moton and with the center being who the fug knows? I feel bad for poor Hunt.

It would take me an amount of Narragansett and bourbon that could be lethal to get through that drivel.

Corbett was doing averageish. I would also like an upgrade there too but that unit, when healthy has been extremely effective and arguably the best unit we have had in 10-15 years. Ikey looks a lot better this year. Not allowing as many pressures/sacks/etc and an absolute monster in the running game. I don’t know that he ever becomes a Trent Williams type guy but if he settles into that Moton area of being a long term, dependable guy, I am fine with that too. His path to guard is essentially closed anyway with the contracts we signed this offseason.

I mean....this is objectively the worst talent we have ever fielded as a franchise on that side of the ball. There are maybe two players on that entire unit that are above replacement level. A lot of our starters would be 2nd stringers, at best, elsewhere. Our injury replacements are PS guys.
