I rather see what Boston is about

Me to.  First, Lester isn't going to be signed to take over at nickel, because he's not a CB.  Second, He has enough problems playing safety.  If you bring him in, you just have a less knowledgeable Harper.  They're basically of the same mold.  People harp on Boston's Senior year being bad, but forget he was injured the whole season with that hernia.  He opted not to have surgery so he wouldn't completely fall out of the draft, and had it taken care of later.  I think Boston's going to be pretty good.

If he's comfortable in the defense, I wouldn't mind it.  At least he has the speed to potentially recover.  Harper is taking a lot bad reads and bad angles out there and he's so slow that one misstep takes him completely out of the play.  Lester is younger, but I'm not sure he's any faster.

 

I mean, what's the worst that could happen?  We've given up 30+ in four straight games.  What we're doing right now obviously isn't working.

 

Really hoping Bene gets back soon.  Godfrey at nickel is absolutely painful.  Dalton simply looked for whoever he was attempting to cover on 3rd down in the 1st half and was making a living off of abusing Godfrey, which honestly wasn't too difficult.

I don't understand bringing in Dockery and not using him. Godfrey was God awful but still played the entire game. There are some serviceable FA that could play nickel for us. At least bring in some speed. Godfrey is slow as dirt now. He doesn't look confident on that Achilles.

Yeah, I really didn't understand why we stuck with Godfrey.  He was getting absolutely abused out there.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
