Love that Hill is improving. His ceiling has always been high but he was raw. Looks like D. Byrd and Keyarris are practice squad bound. I just hope they aren't picked up. 

 

What are the chances of having 6 wide outs? 

I mean, there is so much talent there. But there is so much more need elsewhere. I can see an argument for both.

Are we talking about talent like the RB position back in 08? 

 

Point being, if we lose someone due to injury, we'll have a strong back up?

 

I see your point, it's a great situation to be in,  for the team. For the players, they'll have to earn that spot through hard work and dedication. May the best wide outs make the roster.

 

Dare I say it? We're stacked at WR..

Can't wait for preseason and see the improvements from Funch and Hill plus Philly

and good gawd if KB starts catching "Everything" this dude has potential to be a top 5 WR in the league this year.  Especially if Funch has improved as advertised on the otherside.

Bingo!

If KB can't be double teamed due to Olsen and at least one other WR on the other side... 

There aren't any DBs in the NFL that can be physical with Kelvin. This is getting pretty dang on interesting.

Basically, with Kelvin out last year, WR was our weakest position group overall (though they all rose to the occasion and with Cam's talent, they achieved great things as a unit.  Amazing!)  If suddenly our greatest weakness becomes one of our strengths...  Yowsa!  Can't wait to see it!

OK, so I'm inferring from this progress report that the favorites (as of now) to be out 5 WRs as of now are: KB, Funchess, Ginn, Philly, and Hill. Bersin is the perfect receiver except for a limited amount of athleticism and talent (sounds a lot like Cotchery the last few years IMO). D. Byrd, Garrett, and Norwood (as I understand the rules) are all still PS eligible. And, most likely, everyone gets cut prior to the start of the season. Realistically, Bersin gets left behind (which makes me a little sad) and we only place 2 WR's on the PS.

Not a bad problem to have.

I think hill has the biggest upside. He got the size and speed but never had a chance on the jets . I think we can turn him around like we turned ginn around.

How did he not have a chance with the Jets? He started 19 games his first 2 years including 8 his rookie year and 11 his second year. His problem was he ran poor routes and dropped the ball. You can argue they didn't develop him or he wasn't ready to start but they surely gave him chances.

      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.
