We need to move Thielen to the boundary. Mingo and Marshall aren't on the same page/can't get open. Our passing game in limited to between the hashes beyond 20 yards.

Second half adjustments: Keep Chuba out of 3rd down plays. Stop bringing Shenult in for gimmick plays and if so, use him as a decoy. Get Hurst and Thielen more involved in the underneath stuff. Defensively spy the RB out of the backfield, especially on 3rd downs. Ridder is timid on the deep ball when behind the chains on 3rd down.

New staff, rookie QB, star defender in a contract dispute, playing on the road, playing our arch rivals and it's 7-7. All things considered, not too shabby.

Three straight incomplete passes. I think Bryce is thinking he has less time than he really does.

Can we stop with the fire Frank Reich comments now?

LOl, but Wilks is akin Sean McVey.

Another Rhule pick we should depart with. I don't understand it either. Chuba IS NOT a THIRD DOWN BACK! Questionable hands and has as much wiggle as a 80-year old showing his dance moves.

Eh, I liked the idea, HATED the play call.

Kinda early, but I had a fear that not having a bruiser back could bite us. None of our RBs are pile pushers.

In-game adjustment #1, give Blackshear the rock over Chuba.

That's where Burns is a liability, he had the RB dead to rights and with a little shake gained several yards with Burns dragging form behind.

NEVER run Chuba between the tackles, ESPECIALLY on short yardage. Dude is too indecisive and lacks vision.

7-9 wins.

I think both teams try to establish the ground game. I'm not to comfortable in our abilities to stop the run. The QBs will be asked to manage the game. I doubt either QB goes for much more than 200 yards, if either even reach it.

Hopefully our WRs, with their various ailments, are all ready to go.

I can't believe we are not adding a TE to the PS. Hurst has a reputation of being dinged up throughout any given season and our depth sucks. Considering this SHOULD be Ian Thomas' last season, it couldn't hurt to develop a young guy. Heck, they keep trying to make Sullivan into something and now he's on IR, so let's try another dude.

If we hold ATL to under 100 yards rushing, we win. If the birds cross that threshold, and before the 4th quarter? It is gonna be ugly.

The 53rd player, particularly the 3rd string QB, isn't impacting the team. If we get down to the 3rd string QB, our season is toast anyway.

If it were someone specific, it probably would have been filled already. They are probably weighing all their options, namely Pro scouts along with Fitts/Morgan. It very well could be that they are keeping it open for injury purposes in case someone gets hurt and is likely to miss multiple games, they can immediately sign a player without having to make a corresponding move. More than likely could just be keeping it open for Corbett's return. He can return in week 5.

Underrated: WRs Overrated: RBs Barely having a pulse: TEs

Yup. It wouldn't be a "waste" of a roster spot to develop a young backup. Dalton is not a long term solution as the #2. Heck, it was what we were attempting to do with Corral, but it just didn't work out.

We should sign Zappe and leave Bill stuck with Corral as his backup. Petty? Sure, but it's only the 53rd spot.

Did Nebraska find a new TE? I just read somewhere of them was unavailable.

If we need another HB/FB type, our old buddy Alex Armah is out there. However, I like the Ben Mason kid that's on the Ravens PS. This dude can actually tote the rock too. A short yardage runner and heck of a blocker.

Kuntz...100%! McBride was another of my draft crushes. Duggan looked bad against really good competition.
