They are fuging insufferable on their board on HF. Good god, you’d think they were rolling out McDavid, Crosby, Gretsky on their first line and had 6 Cale Makars to rotate through on defense.

The good news is the last time I saw a team this confident about beating us and almost all of their fans predicting a sweep or their team to win in 5, it was the Devils last year. And that Devils team looked like our bitch in that series.

Rags fans are almost (key word almost) as annoying as Bruins fans. I would love nothing more than somehow winning in 4 or 5 and just watch their fans go on suicide watch

When are we able to cut miles Sanders and it not be a terrible cap hit? Hopefully after this season

Average Backup Or Special-Teamer
 

Strengths

Explosive athlete.

Rangy with good chase-down gallop to the sideline.

Burst and change of direction make him a toolsy rusher.

Hands are very sticky when he gets his chances to take the ball away.

Lateral agility to expand his short-area tackle success.

Weaknesses

Play recognition and football instincts are lacking.

Frequently fooled by misdirection in both run and pass games.

Lacks patience and leverage in his scrape, allowing cutback lanes to runners.

Pulled out of position by bait routes in his spot drops.

Pass rush could use more elusiveness when diving into A- or B-gaps.

Honestly, if these strengths and weaknesses are accurate, sounds like he has big upside and can do well with coaching. Sounds like he is somebody we don't want in coverage though 

Hopefully the shortest of leashes if he sucks next year

This was easily our best pick of the draft in terms of value

That’s how I felt at first but it’s growing on me. 

Possibly. I don't think he's a bad running back, I just think we have weaknesses at every other position more than the running back.

Jesus... I did the 999 challenge tonight and pull up the draft list to see we traded down for a running back

God we are just the laughing stock of the NFL

he’s still just a rookie, not a 5yr vet in his prime

I said compared to DK prior to his rookie season

I might be in the minority of not liking this pick, but he needs a ton of development on his route running. It's nice that he's a big bodied wr that should help with jump ball throws, but there isn't much more I saw out of his highlights that had me wowed. I'm seeing comparisons to DK, but Legette is way more raw and unpolished of a wide receiver than DK was going into his rookie year IMO 

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't like this pick

That extra third could net you someone like Malik Washington 

Or someone like that geriatric bum DE we drafted in the 3rd round last year...

Now that the QBs are gone, I see us standing pat. Maybe we can do a little swap of seconds and pick up an extra third or something. I don't see us getting a second for next year. 

Likely, but that means a definite 1st round talent will be available at 33

Wasn't able to watch much of the game, but awesome win in a situation that the Islanders were going to throw the kitchen sink at us to avoid going down 3-0. Finish it up Saturday and rest up for the rags

Pesce was out most of game 2.... love pesce but if we had to lose someone he's probably the one you'd pick.

 

This just moves Orlov/Chatfield up to pair two....

 

TDA isn't close to Pesce defensively but he does add even more offense.

This. He has been grading out as our worst defenseman on the ice in most games this season.

That just means our forwards have to be more aware that TDA is on the ice and we can't afford to be leaving him back defending 2 on 1s

Please a million times yes!!! Would love to lock him up long term, even moreso if he is willing to take a slight discount because he likes being here.

No words to describe how amazing of a comeback that was. That's the kind of win that can give us momentum all the way to a Stanley cup. 

That slap pass by Svech to aho was a beaut

We are in trouble. Two consecutive games where we have played like ass and we are lucky Freddie won us game 1

Knowing how dumb of a franchise we are, I'm sure we will trade 2 1st round draft picks to trade up to 20 to draft him...

This is probably the worst I have seen us play in 2024.... We have to pray Freddie shuts them out the rest of the game

Tepper probably demanded the coaches run his custom madden playbook that got him a .500 record on rookie difficulty Madden franchise mode...

Nobody on this board wanted Herbert. Yall were claiming he wasn't committed to football, and that his college game wouldn't translate. 

Now everyone is saying the opposite.  Such bullshit.  

I was the loudest voice on the huddle for Herbert.  

The masses just weren't buying his stock. 

Honestly, Herbert was one of the harder QBs to figure out pre-draft for me (I feel like I have been decently accurate on predicting how well QB's would be for the years we have been looking at QB). He was high on the draft boards prior to his last year in college and then had a down year and slipped a bit. Coming from an Oregon system that does not translate to the NFL at all, I was a bit worried if his college play would translate to pro football. Obviously he has been very good, but he was one of the QBs that I thought was the hardest to figure out whether he would be good or not in the NFL.

And although it sucks not having that franchise QB, we got an absolute stud in DB that I feel like would have way better numbers if he had more talent on the d-line and didn't get double-teamed non-stop

Honestly, if Burns got credit for a sack for beating The lineman guarding him but whiffing on the sack, he'd be a top three pass rusher. It's pretty crazy how many times he beat his guy and had a free run at the QB and completely wiffed. I think that is why PFF and other systems like that grade him high even though his stats weren't what you'd expect for a guy that got the contract he did.

Even a couple of years ago, I thought he was one of the best pass rushers that never could sack the QB.

My problem with trading back from 33 is that I think there is a pretty big drop off after the top 50 of the draft. If we are trading back, the other team better be giving us a huge deal like next year's first. 

Otherwise, ignore them and get our top pick of day two

I rewatched the 2015 Thanksgiving game vs Dallas this year. Luke.... 

 

Probably one of the most dominant linebacker performances I've ever seen. And funny enough, I feel like everybody was on the cowboys in that game. Then we took a dump all over them

Let's pray to God we don't look this bad in the playoffs... Just stay healthy, let rod tear a new asshole in this team, and move on

Aho and Jarvis play too well together to split them up. Guentzel has seemed to click with Aho/Jarvis also, so I wouldn't touch that line.

Marty-Staal-Fast have to stay together (when Fast gets healthy) because of how important they are to locking down opposing first lines.

It comes down to how you want to build the other two lines. I agree with the person above of doing Svech, Kuz, and TT together and putting Necas with Noesen and Drury/KK. I would have KK as the odd one out.
