KK Short - Vernon Butler - Star Lotulelei - Kony Ealy

What many don't understand is the the two lines are the engines that help the Cams, Keeks, Stewarts operate.  You have to have them strong.  We also seem stacked at the moment, but several guys might be gone in a year, so you better keep feeding the beast

I think most get that.  

But our lines don't look very strong at OT or DE at the moment. 

But yeah, have great DT depth and that has advantages.  Still doesn't mean DE isn't an issue

Anyone else looking forward to this inevitable package from time to time that will strike fear in the hearts of all that they face? 

And I'm hoping in 4th & 1 and goal line situations to see Short - Star - Solai - Butler

We will see what happens today as to whether our guys are fully faithful in Delaire and such.  Hoping Dodd/Ogbah drops and we snag one, then we light the cigar

To be honest with you i really don't like the idea of Short spending a lot of time at DE when he is so good as a 1 gap.

But from a money term (which I'm sure Gman may be thinking about) imagine if you can sign Short at DT money long term and he pans out at DE? That would be incredible value given the current DE market.

Yeah, fug 17-2 with our current roster. fug that noise

 

and fug having young talent at those positions and fug having 5 more picks in this draft, and fug having 32m in cap space

    • 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.
