Bear Hands

Rams fans are sooo angry he didn’t get in over Reeder. He flashed Reeder is their version of Nakamura.

Ooh didn’t realize he was waived. He has flashed but that’s a deep WR room. I find him one of the more compelling WRs out there right now.

Not terrible if we aren’t eating much of his salary. We turned our 5th into a 4th in 2027 And gained a 2026 6th rounder (a conditional 7th is UDFA territory)

With Rhule- We brought in a college program guy to be a franchise builder. In reality, he didn’t understand how to coach professional sports or build out a professional franchise. There’s a level of feel, communication and professionalism required to work with guys at the pro level. He only knows how to play coach with the college boys. I think he always knew that. But he grabbed the bag anyways.

Damn, forgot about Taylor. He was a late rounder I was thinking could clique but alas.

If one thing is for sure OP, you’re right that you’ve gotta get the d to rest and feel energized. Especially at an older age, for the vets…if you get at it too hard there’s no second time like your rookie years. Wait, what are we talking about?

Okay let’s cool it - no more from either side of this spat - please and thank you

Well this is resolved.

For a long term fit, totally. But we can find better than the current backups on the team off the waiver wire.

Linebackers please

I usually don’t dog on a position group too hard…. but our LB group is probably ranked #96 if you combine every NFL LB room aggregated for the past 3 seasons. Trevin has a monster opportunity but we 1 million percent need to find some NFL level talent at ILB

Alrighty who wants to show us the roster the other way around? What are we looking at 53 wise?

Have been out of pocket - pinned and OP has the updated list for now

He was hyped around his draft year. And now he's looking for his 4th team in 2 years.

Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed. Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin. Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom. They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.

Oh I imagine WR2 is still #2 in targets, just saying on a game to game basis, could be interesting depending on the matchup

I'm excited but still nervous about a few things that make me a 6: Playbook/Playcalling - Is it diversified or has that all been talk? (run game in particular?) - if not, we may still have a lot of stalled drives. Thing is, we have an OL that can play all looks - Inside zone, Power/Gap, Midzone, outside zone, Pin & Pull. Would love if we deployed a balanced attack with it all. Especially now that we have 3 totally capable backs in house Bryce continuing his week 13-18 play - please for the love of god work out Inside Linebackers - Trevin is still developing and Rozeboom has not been good without adequate support. Our line should help but they could be bad in both the run and pass.

Ransom is a DUDE. Always was for the Buckeyes, still is. Was my favorite safety in the draft...and we never end up landing the skill position players I like. Tudthumping run stuffing, tough as nails, drive killer type who communicates well between snaps.

If this happens, and if this team is serious about featuring Ja'Tavion more, target share becomes interesting after McMillan.

It’s why we should be trying long term fits out. Wright is the only mismatch - he’s the type of guy a team scrambles to midseason when a kicker randomly implodes or has a freak injury.

Fits hasn’t missed in a game yet, just keep it going with the guy. Absolutely no harm in continuing to see what he’s got. We’re not winning the SB (obviously)

If I’m truly being predictive, I think we’re looking at 5-6 wins again. Defense has a slight (but not substantial enough) improvement and Bryce doesn't show what we want. 6-11 Is that what I’m hoping for and optimistic about? No. But it’s my prediction given the landscape.

Think the 53 is pretty realistic. Evans>Bartholomew tho
