Saxy Quick Takes

Holy Hall & Oats that was a hard game to watch but it actually made me quite more interested in this team (in a good way).  

To get a few points out there:

-Armah is a specimen.  He's a defensive player at heart who figured out how to play fullback.  I think his potential and future hype is warranted.

-McCaffrey (#RunCMC) looks like the real deal.  Yeah, preseason, yadda yadda, ensalada, esplanada.  He is bringing life to the offense without Cam.  Both full power behind the new hogs is incendiary.  

-CAP looks quite improved.  His cuts are looking more like his Auburn days and I think CMC's ability has rubbed off on him.  Stewart-CMC-CAP could be lethal...because...

-Our RUN BLOCKING has looked VERY good this preseason.  This is something we have been wildly inconsistent at but this Moton fellow looks like a perfect infusion next to our stud interior.  Armah leading CMC to the right behind Turner and Moton can be pretty damn strong.

and now you salty scalawags...

-Who's hype I'm not quite buying yet: Any wide receiver.  Funchess had supposedly improved but he still looks like Funchess.  Byrd trended last week but was meh, Clay is probably going to trend now, and then maybe Duke again.  I hope Hurney watches the wire for safety and WR cuts.    

Action Items for Hurney:

-Keep an eye out for a safety, a backup QB, and a WR as cuts some in.  

And now, something entirely unrelated:

    • I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL
    • I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes. 
    • I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
