Didn’t we used to run zone with Fox and Stephen Davis or was it later? Annyway, I think Canales is probably well versed in more than one offensive school, but has decided to break it down and get the training wheels out. I don’t think it will look like Dan Henning (who I liked) when we do throw. I’m looking forward to seeing the twists he comes up with.

In all probability, whoever is in the Number 1 for Manning won’t be selling the pick. And if Young is still here it will be because we got better than worst in the league. So it probably wouldn’t be us.

I do see a really methodical way the team could compete on offense. But I don’t see the field getting stretched far enough, often enough to win enough games and it all has to go just right. There isn’t much margin. Guarantee Red Zone will be better if we ever get down there. I mean if there is one team used to operating in tight quarters....=== and I think we have everything for down close except a short yardage ram.

I don’t think this guy is near as unfinished. edit: a team Captain at Kentucky as a Junior. That’s getting a quality person. Which if he can’t play won’t matter but let’s see. I think he looks pretty good.

And don’t you dare text in and tell them any Bryce criticism. EDIT: as far as LBs ands Wilson, man I would love to have him but those injuries are part of the deal. They are scary.

It looks like 4.5mil dead cap for the 3rd and 4th year (total), seems like this will the last year we are affected.

What is typical about any aspect of this? Other than it looks like a typical Tepper QB fail? Point being, a non typical result could happen, and who would be surprised? Not me. The surprise would be a right decision. Which, I am ready for. Whatever it is. With all due respect to shrimp QBs with NFL ambition, they can try. I hope my team never again wants to be the guinea pig for that lobby. Unless it is day two or three. Let someone else deal with it.

Here it is afaic: RBs all come in, coaches put them in the hopper and figure out who they like best. Despite Sanders’ money.... I mean I would lean towards using him, but I guess there is the chance someone beats him out. In the case of someone else being clearly better, I would take whatever hit came with releasing him (and I think he deserves that to happen in time to allow him to find another job). Right now he can get there and compete, like the rest of the team should be doing.

So when do we see these guys in town and doing something? This week?

That is a great question. I could be the latter with knowing they have plan B at the ready. The impatient boss selects the instant payoff over the long term (we have seen how that works). A wise boss is not impatient. If they are smart they aren’t going to build something they can’t use with the next guy, until they know they don’t need a next guy. edit: do people think that they see Young as cemented in place as that guy?

Yeah I don’t think I’d like this guy outside, he doesn’t fit that in the NFL. I think he needs to stick to nickel and ST to help the defense, he’d probably contribute. I think he’d be a liability outside. I like him okay though, looking forward to seeing him. Actually that is probably how I feel about all the picks, I like them okay and am looking forward to seeing them. I feel like they were taken for a good reason; though I may not see it yet. One shouldn’t expect to go straight down the line hit every one, butI think we’ll hit on a couple of guys in this group. 4 would be great.

This funny in a gallows humor sort of way. The talk around the team. Last year this time it’s playoffs. One year of Bryce Young and went from that to worst record in the league a second year running,.

SC is SEC, they are the highest competition in college ball. Maybe think asbout like SC is generally a basement type, ands they play against the best. So a WR from SC that is succeeding is probably doing it against a bit tougher competition than the guys from the best teams.

I guiess that’s a Texas thing. Brooks had some a couple of one handers in a clip I saw.

Sanders. That guy is spilt milk already. Not much you can undo. They do have the OL upgraded closer to what he had before and even an idiot can run through a wide open hole. He tries to avoid that but a threat of being unjobbed might redirect him a little.

I remember Dickerson as running fairly upright. might explain going down easier. Great runner though.

His high school QB film looks like Cam Jr.

Well wait. They are building a team as we speak to cater to a under equipped player’s deficiencies. Put a little differently they are overbuilding it to compensate for the design flaws of a weak component. No one would design an NFL QB with Bryce Young as their template. No. One. It is always around this point that I get really pissed off or frustrated and lose the thought or point I am going for, because I look at it and realize that what I just wrote, is 100000% true. So I lost the point again. Sorry 45. I get so pissed off at the decision makers that put this on us. It isn’t about whether Young is a good kid. Doesn’t matter. Besides that he has no underdog cred, at all, and that is the only reason I’d have to ignore my good sense.

I don’t know about his leash. Depends on how he plays. I know these guys are young but I think they need to be trending up the way people like to see NFL teams trend.. like end the year with a winning streak,. you spoil a contender’s playoff chances, other teams don’t want to play you. That type of stuff. We have seen it before. Personally though, I would already have competition in the building. Today. Even if it is token. We would see who could do what with what, on the field. If he is what people want him to be, he would win the job.

He hasn’t finished growing yet. 21 years old. Okay. Comps to more physical Evan Engram? I am a fan of his, so this fine with me. Hope he turns into something.

I think they can sign Gilmore, and I don’t want to trade up. And I’ve done no real vetting of these lower round players, but I think I’d take a shot at trading back a little and seeing if he makes it to us.

z Pretty much yes, but WRs historically are slower to develop. Mostly, that far down and in this particular draft... maybe a little soft in the 1st round (people say the sure thing bona fide types were gone by 15 or something)? The team’s roster is also a big factor and at 32 it’s probably pretty good in most cases so maybe not a clear day one starter. Biut 100% straight up day one starter, generally, yes I think you want the guy to be that. You want him to play a lot at the latest by seasons back half I see you are probably implying Legette is a mistake because he may not be a day one starter? I think l he will be used and will contribute. I don’t know Canales style with that stuff either, that can also be a factor. Our 1st rounder last year, should not have been a day one starter I don’t think, as far as it goes, and we were so much more heavily invested. It is what it is.

I wanted a C but didn’t the JPJ have some kind of hip concern? I kept thinking of Bruce Nelson and just couldn’t get it up. The thing that is different, we weren’t coming out short in our trading. They worked that board and the real time flow deftly and came out with a surplus. Which sure, it cost us probably a little satisfaction this weekend but we needed that 2025 2nd round pick and it will look really good next year. So Morgan doing a very nicew two birds with one stone type of thing. We filled a Fitterer hole and made it look easy. But it ain’t easy. The move to 46 was technically a trade up but really it was a de facto trade down from 39. And it was a freaking great play. We can thank LA for sure but Morgan was walking boss and it is in his win column. To me this is more the model of how to do it without ruining yourself with trade deficits. Or trying to pull off these desperation high risk gambles that when you are wrong can set you back 5 or more seasons. That we are about to find out about this year I hope.

More I see of this guy the more I like him. He can ST right away, and moves great for a pretty big guy. We got the staff, we got Morgan, we got Luke getting a little interested, and we got a good vet for him to understudy. Shaq will treat him right. I really like Legette. I understand the RB he has the size and build, and he does appear to have great hands. L:et’s hope he likes blitz pickups. I really like the 2nd in 2025.

I get the raw, I get the only did it one year in college. I also know what I see when I look at the video. I know his frame and his speed and he has power in that body. And he competes. I am optimistic about him. Crazy I know.
