CJ, KK, Star, Ealy

Shaq, Luke, TD

in our 4-3 looks week 1 I think Bene will kick out from nickel.  Then the rookie will come on during nickel looks.  I would imagine they will have a plan to slowly work in the rookies instead of throwing them in over their heads. 

Bene, FA

Coleman,FA

i have FAs coming in because we have no leadership real or real vet experience presently and our younger guys will need it

What FAs do you see out there, that would be better than what we have?

CJ, KK, Star, Ealy

Shaq, Luke, TD

Bene, Worley

Coleman, Boston

 

I just don't see the need to bring in a FA at this point.

more vets will be added to the pot coming up. 

Dave/Rivera by all accounts like vet leadership even if they don't have huge roles as starters.  DB room IMO needs a good vet.  Too young overall.  Dave will find a new Peanut type to start off the year IMO and aid this group.

I think people are putting too much hope in rookie CBs.  Many aren't good enough to really be on the field early in their careers.  That isn't a knock on their potential here to be an answer....but I don't buy a rookie CB being an every down starter the first half of the season.  Hence the vet addition for leadership and a safety blanket if they simply can't handle the heavy load tryout early.

IMO, it'd be a surprise for the front seven to be anything other than CJ/Short/Star/Ealy on the DL and TD/Luke/Shaq at LB. Coleman will definitely be starting at one safety spot and Boston likely has the other as his to lose heading into camp. To me, the discussion really starts and ends at CB. Really hoping to see Bene starting outside. I know the staff really wants him to be a nickel, but he's always played better outside. Hopefully signing a vet nickel shows that this obsession to force Bene into the nickel role is over.

      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.
