I'd like to see how Shaq looks coming into his second year. After what was basically a year of learning and limited play time, I would hope he takes on a much bigger role this year allowing TD to extend his career. All the hype has been around Funchess these last couple of weeks but Shaq was taken before him for a reason. Hopefully it pays off...

Good point. Shaq has been flying around like mad out there. Amazing how fast he is. I will mark him down as an interview this week. See what he has been up to.

Lots of good suggestions listed above:

For instance:

I'm definitely curious about how the DE rotation is shaping up beyond CJ & Ealy.  (Competition between Cox, Miley, Webster...)

I'm also curious about TE/FB:  Other than Sandland who would seem to have a pretty good likelihood of a roster spot, any of the others showing something that could win them a spot on the roster?  I'm still thinking we might just keep an extra TE/FB type around (Devon Johnson?) to learn behind Tolbert...

Also, the Oline.  Willliams vs. Remmers;  Who else is getting any time at Tackle beyond Foucault?  Do any of the guys like Yankey look any good?

Anything you can surmise re: ST?  Who is getting practice as PR / KR may give us an idea of which young guys might be favorites in the running for a roster spot....

      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.
