Big Vern is improving...

Quick look at him battling Chris Scott in a run stopping drill. 

This is a HUGE improvement for him from just over a week ago. Good push, good penetration, even against a huge guy like Scott. Vernon is starting to look like he may help keep the middle of the DL from getting winded early from stopping the run. Should lead to fewer games with those 4th quarter lapses in defense.

I would like to see how he is faring against Trai & Norwell. 

Low man wins.

This is great news.  If Butler can give us quality reps, then this line will be scary deep.  Rotating Star, Short, Butler, and Solelai (spelling?) will be just amazing.  

I love the point you made about avoiding 4th quarter collapses...another reason why I think we have to re-sign Short regardless of how Butler performs.

I wouldn't expect any lineman to look very good on their first few days of camp. There is just so much technique that the guys who have been there before have to go on.  Technique is what the NFL coaches are their to refine.

It will be fun to watch him progress.

So calls of his being a bust based on his first couple of NFL practices in pads were, perhaps, too hasty? Inconceivable.

It was like one or two reps of drills where he looked beat. The ones he looked good in weren't even mentioned.

No, still a bust but now he also the comeback player of the year. All that in a week. Amazing!

      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.
