Interesting. Played two years at Arizona State before transferring to Samford. 6'5" 250

Also, Samford runs the Auburn/Gus Malzahn offense, so he should be familiar with the parts of the Shula offense that he implemented from the Malzahn playbook.

lets talk about a  guy no one is talking about that Gettleman signed to a future contract back in like January.  Larry Webster.  guy is 6'6 252 (profile says 270 now)  ran a 4.58 40 in the combine and was drafted in the 4th round by the Lions out of Bloomsburg.  This dude could be a huge diamond in the rough for us on passing downs.  Freak athlete.

Anyone think with all these TE's we're going after that Dickson maybe heading for the door? 

I think they know they need a TE who's at least a decent blocker since both Greg and Dickson are terrible at it. They brought in McNeill last year - better blocker and worse receiver - but he apparently didn't bring enough to the table to beat out Simonson and/or Brockel.

I came across a few of those types while looking for other invitees. It's a little depressing but sometimes it works. Last year we invited the ECU longsnapper who showed up to the combine (uninvited) andgave out customized beer koozies with his measurements and workout numbers printed on them. Jets just cut a guy they signed after he showed up outside the stadium with "Will run for work."

Agreed, although McNeill retired around this time last year. I think Sandland and McGee are competing for the third receiving TE spot while Bonnet and Johnson will be after that TE/FB "Brockel" role that Simonson currently holds.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
