Voth seems to think that he'll be coming back here...

 

 

 

Of course many here probably still remember his comments about Funchess and about how our team can't come back from being down which he talked more about than most would think to, but aside from those very minor comments this really does make perfect sense. Captain has been by far our best nickel corner in the Rivera era and would be huge for Wilks to dial up some more corner blitzes, to have another veteran presence back there, and another playmaker in the secondary. I really like LJ and would absolutely love to bring him back but Captain is definitely an upgrade on him and having both of them would provide excellent depth there, especially since Captain is capable of jumping outside occasionally if needed to spell Daryl or James or if they go out with a minor injury. Thoughts on bringing him back? And maybe we'll bring Major Wright in this time for real and have both a Captain and a Major in our secondary. I'm sure Rivera would love that leadership.

I'd rather he not come back.  He's not an upgrade anymore.  For depth on the cheap? Sure.

Have you watched him play with the Vikings? He's absolutely still an upgrade. One of the best nickel corners in the league right now and fits extremely well in Rivera's scheme where he'll be even better.

Why wouldn't we? Not gonna cost anything. No reason not to have him back for camp at least and go from there.

"They" told me the organization isn't too high on him. I'm with you though - no reason not to have him for depth. He seems like only a Nickel guy though - is it normal to have more than one Nickel on an active roster or outside guys who could play inside in case of emergency?

Interesting. Thanks for chiming in with this. I guess it would depend on ability to play ST (which I don't think LJ has) and if he can move outside temporarily. Captain can do that not sure if LJ can. But if you think about having Captain as our nickel and LJ backing him up there, with Captain's ability to move outside and LJ able to replace him at nickel if that happens I don't think it would be bad to have two nickels like that on the roster. Not sure if RR would do that though. With this though it seems more likely we target a reunion with Captain.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      I have said if you out even an average QB into the offense we are averaging 25+ points a game. But that will never happen with Bryce under center.

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.
