I wouldn't be completely mad about this, the dude is a game changer, and would be a value at 28.  I love TD, especially as someone who's had both ACLs repaired myself, but it's hard to say how long he will be able to play at a high level on that knee.

I wonder how many of yall watched Ohio State football regularly? I have to. My GF is an alumni. I don't remember hearing much about him last season.

 

Don't care for the pick if he's the guy (at least in the first round). I think there's a chance he will drop. He's undersized and would only play sparingly next year for us. I'd rather get a guy who can fill a need. Ohio State doesn't play anybody.

We have 2 needs on offense --WR, T

 

We have 5 needs on defense (some are debatable, but you have to look at the depth and forward to 2015 and consider the cap--Johnson $17m, Davis $9m, Hardy ??? m, etc)  CB, S, OLB, DE, DT (Cole and Edwards gone by 2015).

 

Do not be surprised to see our draft feature 4-5 defensive players

 

I have spoken.

Here's what we know about Shazier:

• He's an explosive blitzer

• One of the best (if not, the best) coverage LBs in the draft

• He's a very good tackler, especially in the open field

• Very athletic (ran a 4.37 at his Pro Day)

• Durable

• His Football IQ and Instincts are above average

 

All qualities we may need soon because 1) Much as I love Thomas Davis, he's not getting any younger and 2) I don't think he has another miracle comeback in him if one of his knees goes again.

 

Think 'successor', not 'replacement'.

- David was undersized.

- Kuechly was from Boston College. They didn't play anybody either.

Shazier will be an awesome pick for us if we can somehow work Purdue, Illinois, and Indiana in to our schedule.

only 2??? we need 2 WRs... a LT and a RT. RG is also a huge question mark. and with one old RB and one who hasnt stayed healthy in two seasons, RB is also a question mark. our D  is leaps and bounds in better shape than the O...

I'm not worried about TD's knees anymore. He's proven that he can play at a high level without issues.

My concern is that he is getting older and really expensive cap wise.

Luke will get a new deal soon and you absolutely cannot have two LB's making over $10MM per year.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
