I wasn't much impressed with his preseason performances, he had a few glimpses here and there... But against the Giants I remember him constantly going in too high, letting the OL get his hands on him, getting locked up, and he was done for.

I thought he would regress some with this recent injury and time off as well.

There's been many critics of his performance and our FO's decision to trade a 1st for him, but with the way he looked yesterday, is that move looking more justified now?

Honestly, yesterday, besides maybe one play he made in a preseason game was the first time I saw that explosion off the line and quickness. His spin move was very Freeney-esque.

It's a long year, and he's still got to prove it every week, and although it WAS the Redskins, I was impressed with him yesterday. Anyone else? Supporters? Detractors?

Well, the thing that I thought was interesting is that I actually remember him being in on several running downs and tough yardage situation. If I'm not mistaken, I thought I remembered him being in when we had them pinned down at their goal line either on the 1st play or the safety.

pretty sure you're right about that... can't remember which play, I just remember being surprised to see 91 on the field.. I believe it was near the goal line...

He's still not worth a top ten pick in next years draft

It's not going to be a top 10 pick--so no worries there.

Don't give up on this team. Had a nasty starting schedule and team wasn't playing well. Hopefully the team peaks against the Saints in week 10 and carries it on into the remainder of the season.

No matter how good he turns out to be I think I will always have this opinion. It was too much of a risk, really, considering the other needs of the team.

I get why we did it..One area of need was the pass rush..E.brown was one of the best pass rushers in the entire draft...plus with the fact peppers might not be here next year..having E.brown and C.johnson as starters could be something good...we will miss out on some huge talent but the team dosent have that many needs.

Yeah, I understand it as well, but as I was stating in another thread, just because a player might excel in one system or team doesn't mean he will do the same in another. I just think the draft could've been better used for a DT or such.

However, you do make a good point that there are really no other DE's on the team.

it was good to see him play well. I have been pretty hard on the guy and i still don't like the idea of giving up a 1st round pick for a 2nd round selection. However, we have the guy now and at least yesterday he showed promise. I agree that with him and Charles Johnson we could have a pretty good duo next year especially if you pick up another good rusher to throw in the mix.

      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.
