Who's In/Out vs Pats

They are playing Cam for a full half without the right side of his line?  ruh-roh

Williams is not a bad backup at tackle or guard on either side.  Pretty versatile across the board.  Scott is also a good guard when he's in shape, which I believe he is now.  Should be okay.

At least the right side is the sight side, but my bigger concern is line continuity and chemistry between a rookie and a new tackle.

 

This is it to me. Rookies, new players and old players in new positions require time to gel probably as much as any group on the field, including QB/WR. 

 

Practice is one thing, but there's a reason many teams allow their o-line starters to play longer than skill position starters in preseason. Turner and Chandler could really use this time together under fire.

I've really tried to find the positive in the Harper signing, but I just don't know what Gettleman was thinking on that one.

Just a couple years ago he almost broke the sack record by a DB in a single season. He could be a complete beast in the run game and blitzing. That's all the upside I can think of but he was a pro-bowler and is better than our backups. DG couldn't have anticipated any injuries.

I'm pretty worried about CJ, didn't he play last game?  Now he's back out.  Not good.

 

I know it's just because I follow this team hardcore compared to other teams, but I feel like our health on Madden collectively as a team should be like rating 5.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
