Thanks!

Just for purposes of scheduling, I'll be out in the yard from 10:00 AM to noon tomorrow mowing grass, so I apologize in advance for missing any potential exciting news! ;)

 

I got my first riding mower the other day. So yesterday was spent doing yard work. Man, it's amazing when you don't have to expend all that energy walking behind a mower, how much energy you have to actually finish the job.  When I got done mowing and trimming, I almost got the clippers out. Luckily, I came to my senses first. I hate yard work.

 

Oh, and man, I hope these two CBs can play, cuz we could use the help. I trust Gman's evaluation skills, so I am hopeful they can be in the rotation by the time the playoffs come around. Bene', and Boykin are quality starters. But boy it's hard to convince yourself we have much more than that back there.

 

Hellz, we play a poo ton of zone, if these kids can pick it up. Why Not? We do have a fine bunch of coaches. If they have the talent. We can coach them up. I tell ya what.

We can't assume that every player G-Man picks will be a pro bowler.  He has missed on his fair share of players, but my main beef is trading our 4th for a guy who more than likely would have been there at our original 3rd round pick.  Losing that 4th round pick takes away a chance to add depth to the roster, specifically at LT, SS, or ILB.  I really hope those picks pan out.

according to that list every single CB was overdrafted, with only william jackson III being the exception.

William Jackson III was supposed to be our first round draft pick. We started scrambling to plan B, C, D, etc right after he was off the board. 


Le sigh on what coulda shoulda woulda  :(

I bet 1 of the 2 corners if not both don't even make the 53.

Lol you really think Gettleman spent a 2nd and moved up in the 3rd to place these guys on the practice squad to possibly get poached? I want what you're smoking.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
