Yes it has occurred to me. And if the injuries do linger or occur on defense during the season then the season is over. We simply have to stay healthy on D with our offensive troubles. If we see the defense we saw the first 3/4 of the season last year we might win 4-6 games. If we see the defense over the last 1/4 we might make the playoffs. I'm not naive enough to think we are going to generate a pass rush versus a first team line with our 2's and 3's.

It wasn't as if the dline was lighting it up last year. Changes in the D we saw last year were on the back end. Call is coach speak but Rivera during his press conference said that the starters should have been able to generate more pressure and injuries were no excuse.

Let us see how they play vs NE. We might have to blitz some to affect the QBs this season.

I agree with you there. The secondary was much improved. I'm so surprised they haven't tried a Coleman Boston combo yet. Harper should only be a situational player. There's no reason we shouldn't be blitzing a linebacker when all 3 are capable in coverage. The problem is when our linebackers are blitzing they couldn't make it more freaking obvious. I would like to see some more creativity on both sides of the ball.

We also haven't had our 1st string defense for either of the preseason games.  Missing 3 of our 4 DL, can't be overstated how big of an impact that will have when they come back.

I agree. You take 3 starters off the D line of any team and there will be a dropoff in performance, QB pressure, stops on third down, etc. I don't think we can truly assess the team until regular season. Preseason is for individual assessments.

      An Offensive Tackle for the Long Term, but....

      By TD alt · Posted

      First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.

      Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.

      Logically yes. Boston has the right balance though. Jalen Brown is #2 in the paint and their best shooters are 17th and 19th. While our best shooters are #1 and #2 and we have one player in the top 50 for points in the paint. And my understanding looking at the information I just referenced is we were basically at the exact same paint percentage last year in Charles Lee's offense. At the end of the day we either want to compete for a playoff series winner and the finals or we just want to stumble our way to another play in. We've already done that with James Borrego.
