Looking at our roster going into the 5th

I like the competition I see at areas of weakness for the most part. CB and S both have a number of options and as everyone knows will depend on the DL for their success. It's a shame but it is what it is for now, and I do believe Melvin White has the tools to be a good player for us this year. Cason on the other side isn't shabby. Safety is tricky as we have nobody who stands out but nor do we have many players could surprise and be special, but we do know what we have back there which fits Rivera's modus operandi to a T when it comes to players in the Secondary as he routinely demonstrated.

As we wind down, I'd like to take advantage of the depth of this draft and inject some competition at other areas that could use it. WR could use another young player for competition, and there are a number of options still on the board. there that are well documented.

Don't be surprised if we toss in a LB and a RB before the draft ends. These are the rounds where you address those positions. LB could use someone else competing at the Will, and with Stewart's up reliability and Deangelo being a possible cap release next years we could very well capitalize on the RB depth in this class.

Anyways, this is nothing new to most of you, just a general synopsis of what we may expect. It's too late to address the major need remaining, OT, and I refuse to believe we're content with what we have competing there, so the team may look to trade down the line or may be hoping for surprise cuts like Roos.

    • Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at. 
    • Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often. 
    • With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
