We will be running the double reverse, Slot draw, flea flicker statue of liberty option pass. You just don't know when.

They are going to rotate so it may be Leota considering first down is a running down--then bring Johnson in---just speculation. On the other side, Chaisson needs to come in and make a statement.

If you are a developmental staff as Canales says, that is where you should be.

wish we didn't start the Week 1 thread with a third string player's quote that he will be missing Week 1. Maybe this will pick up!!! Kidding--thanks for starting this thread--Sunday seems surreal at this point.

ESPN spends 20% of their NFL coverage on the Cowboys---Not interested

If you think about it, Bryce has no excuses now--not to say his reasons for failing last year were not valid--no qb would have succeeded here last year--

I do not see how we win 8 or 9 games without Bryce playing well, unless he is inconsistent. We built this offense around him, giving him everything he needs to succeed--a coach, an OL that should be very good, Upgrades at WR, TE, and RB---I think he will be much improved. However, I see your point. I think we are in the process of getting good at nearly every position---and if Bryce plays well, we can focus on the pass rush and maybe another WR for next year, and we would then be in shape to make a playoff run. Good thread, NAS

It is a numbers game, but from what I have seen, the Wallace and Sanders have been better than advertised. Brooks and XL---our first two picks---are still undetermined. I did not say this when we drafted Clausen, Lafell, Armanti, and Eric Norwood before the season started, for example. We shall see, but the signs are rather positive right now. XL is bothering me a bit and I can see Wade-Smith getting lost in the infusion of CBs, but the others seem to have a clear path to a role on this team. I feel that Brooks will be very good, and I feel that Sanders and Wallace could turn out to be steals if they continue to turn heads. Again, we shall see. I am also interested in Bartholomew and Kingston from our recent waiver wire acquisitions. Watch them.

Funny stuff.

Is this an attempt at humor? There is reason for optimism, and for some people, there is a reason for pessimism. What kind are you?

We really seem to have some characters (good personalities) in our drafted rookies. We already sorta know XL, but the video game where Brooks starts giving Sanders a bit of lip and Wallace later under the mic--Considering the fact that we did not have a first rounder, we seem to have added a top RB (TBD), a top TE, and a top ILB. If the light comes on for XL and maybe we get something out fo Smith-Wade (and Mike Jackson if you consider we traded our seventh for him) and we could get something out of Crumedy--this could be a great draft-

He is a winner. Mentally tough, based on my math. Keeping his job when a Manning is on the roster then winning 12 games is pretty impressive.

It is hard to gauge a QB with all the weapons and a solid defense. Bryce had the same situation. He seems to be making quick decisions and he gets it out quickly--but I don't see first overall pick in him at all either. Not sure about Sanders, but I would say that he is in the #1 QB taken category.

I have not been looking at the college QBs much and I am not a good evaluator of QB talent historically--but I know that Ewers kept Arch Manning on the pine in Texas, which tells me that he won a competitive battle against a player who I am sure was/is a fan favorite. To me, that means he is mentally tough. Texas won too. So I am interested in seeing what he can do. Sure he has limitations, but so did Brees, Delhomme, etc. Winning is a mindset, and I am interested in looking into him more if Bryce struggles.

I am impressed with Beck (QB UGA). Worst case scenerio, but if Bryce bombs--and I hope he does not---because I really hope we are in play for a top edge rusher.

Most of our older players will not be on the team next year--imo

Matthews too

I know about Lonnie--did not see how we'd activate a ninth CB Week 1--he is listed as a S in other places--so I guessed. Tarron was a mistake--I put him in the wrong column. TY Forgot about Crumedy. I update this after free agency, draft, and cuts just to see the off season. You are right--it is a work in progress.

Trying to keep up....this format helps me see the roster, so I thought I would share--subject to change, obviously. OFFENSE

some of these signings are a bit scary. Overkill?

When they got Kingston I figured it made Brooks vulnerable.

Coker's final response:

whst was the reason?

averages about 2.5 sacks per year over 7 year career--w 7.5 in 2021. First round bust

seems like such a good kid--very positive. Of course, you never know who you are talking to, but the posts before this on the thread I was on about him seemed genuine. Too emotional and heartfelt. Consistent with how someone might react during the most stressful hours of his life--humble and very positive. Told him that he has a big following in the fan base and we know the talent pretty well. We are cheering for you. I guess that is why he PM'd me.
