I will say this, if the TE corps increases its production over last year and Benjamin eclipses Smitty's stats from last year, we have to say we have improved.

I'd also add that if Philly Brown can channel Teddy Ginn this group could be very dangerous from years to come. Looking at Benjamin now, how many teams just passed on a #1 receiver? Dummies

Yeah, if we don't add any help at WR, which I anticipate, I'm really hoping that Dickson and Williams make the difference.

I expect KB to have an awesome year, but it just irritates me when the FO let Smitty go when he still could've helped us AND then completely neglected the position outside of KB. Yes, I know we signed Avant and Cotch, but to me, those are the equivalent of NBA teams signing 40-year old vets to show the kids how to be a pro. Not great football moves, IMO.

BUT, I digress... back to the cuts, lol.

Disagree.

That is all.

No I mean as a returner. Can you confidently put him out there late in the fourth quarter of a one score game to return a punt?

 

Return one? He hasn't shown any explosiveness no. He needs to worry about catching before he thinks about what he's going to do next with the ball

King lacked STs, he was a only a 4/5 WR. He still could be placed on PS, with so many new WRs and FAs, its a fairly good shot. Both brown and bersin play STs. I've seen bersin on coverage team for awhile. King is too light for most STs unless he can return..... which isn't him.

Scott just a OG, I believe the rookie craveman 2.0 and the guy form pitt(coming off ach) can play more than just OG. Still he's a surprise to me. Gary williams can play OG too.

Look at brockel, if he only played TE, well he'd never would have been on the 53. He can play FB, all four ST phases, TE, slot etc. The more you can do, the more value you have.

King sucked. Move on people.

I wouldn't go that far. I think King is talented but he was over shadowed by Bersin and Brown.

King did make some plays when the ball was thrown his way. I just think he wasn't given to many opportunities during preseason.

What if Smitty was the #2, or slot on this receiving corp? What could have been...

Lol, imagine this scenario. You wake up one morning. You go to Steve before the game. You tell him kelvin Benjamin, a rookie, is going to be targeted more than him and Steve is now officially a #2.

Good luck.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
