I look forward to seeing what Nico and Arch can do next year.

Right. Gotta take care of Bama. Killed the drive with penalties.

Another drop on a deep pass by UT

Sanders is good but do you think his dad is going to let him play here? He already said he has a list of teams his son will play for. I doubt we are on that list.

That was a beautiful pass

The Illinois and Syracuse QBs don’t look bad, especially if they can be had later. Trade the top pick to the Raiders or a team that loves Sanders.

Hid OL started playing bad during that Arkansas game and he started developing bad habits. Hell we know about throwing young QBs behind bad OL play…

Dalton has voided years on his contract with us. Makes him pricey to keep.

They are just carried by their QB.

Ward and Rourke playing for QB watching.

They aren’t trading for anyone. If anything we’re selling.

Yeah we need a QB with this mindset. We have to change the whole culture here and that would be a great start. Whoever it is needs to be a leader and someone who pushes his teammates to be better.

I’m not sure they keep Darnold regardless. They seemed high on JJ before he got injured. They also seem to have a QB friendly roster and HC. I don’t think Sam is done future star, just stating he can read a defense with the right coaching and system. I don’t see what the same can’t happen for Fields.

Yeah but regardless, KO has him playing better football. Even if he has a bad game every so often he is showing he can go through reads and make good decisions. He is showing it is possible with him under the right conditions. JJ helps a ton obviously.

I think he has grown up a lot since then. Didn’t complain about being traded and now is being mature about being benched for Russ.

Darnold has certainly learned to read the field better. You just have to build around your QB once you are confident in him.

Jewell will replace Cherelus when he comes back. He is actually listed at the starter with Wallace on the depth chart with Shaq being out. We have a LILB and a RILB on our traditional and yeah I know we use nickel a lot but I've seen all kinds of hybrid schemes. For example Wallace and Cherelus saw plenty of playing time together this past game. Don't get me wrong, if we replace Jewell I won't be mad, like I said he is just an average starter. We just already have him under contract for the next few years and have a lot more pressing needs IMO. https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/car

He has a no trade clause right? He can just veto the trade…

He had a 88 and 77 rating his two full seasons playing under Evero in Denver. Yeah he turns 30 in December so he’ll be 32 when we are done with him. That’s about right for letting him walk. Looking at his rating in the 4 games he played on a new team that’s struggling isn’t the best way to judge him. Hell even his 58 is showing in the yellow. So average at his position even with all the crap around him. Again he is nothing special but I think he is an average starter in this league which is something we are missing at a lot more positions. Personally I’d look to replace him before his last year like we are doing with Shaq. We just have so many needs right now…

I agree with all except Wallace replacing Jewell. Both ILB positions in this scheme seem pretty interchangeable. Shaq is done for the year. When Jewell returns I’d bet it’s him and Wallace at the ILB spots since they are the best of the group.

I think most are hybrids as you stated they are in nickel most of the time. Clowney for example can be an edge or a 4-3 DE. It just depends on how he is lined up.

I’d take a late OL pick every year. They have higher success rates. Even if we draft one earlier. I don’t think Jewell is ok IR. I think he is DTD. I’m all for depth though. A backup LB sure, just don’t bank on him replacing a solid starter.

Personally I wouldn’t worry about it in the immediate future. Use a late pick for OL depth, a RB2, a project QB etc all fall before trying to upgrade a player who is starting on most rosters.

Yeah Jewell is nothing special but he is a seasoned vet who typically gets 100 plus tackles and we signed him to a 3 year deal. No need to waste an asset in trying to upgrade him with so many other needs. Let him help Wallace develop and fill holes elsewhere.

We have Wallace and Jewell next year? Unless you are talking about edge/olb. I’d agree that edge is a top need but that lines up for with 4-3 DEs to me.
