Wes Horton..what we know and what we don't

Looks like he will be starting over Mario according to R.R. They think he is stouter against the run then Mario, but not the edge rusher that Addison is.Stats are 6'4 270 lbs and another UDFA.He had 2 sacks in 2013 with limited playing time.The team had at least 4 sacks every home game in 2013 and 7 so far in 2 games.Heavy rotation up coming with Horton in on running downs and Addison on passing downs this week.So what do you think about Wes...will that rotation get the job done? Not much choice actually....time to step up and do what needs to be done.

Luke will prolly shadow him more than the TE Miller. Harper should do ok covering Miller. Even tho Harper is slower than ideal, Miller was never that quick, and playing his 10th year hasn't made him quicker, either.

 

Looking forward to seeing how Cason, White, and Benwikere handle Antonio Brown, Wheaton, and Lance Moore. Hope their coverage is good so the D-Line can get some coverage sacks.

We also have Ealy to plug in on certain plays, I'm excited to see our platoon rotation on the D Line, keep running in the fresh bodies.  Colin Cole was awesome last game, although I know you're talking about DE.

That's good poo right there folks, minus #76

 

EDIT: Damn, I forgot Frank the Tank.  I think we'll be okay up front.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
