Saxy Quick Takes: Off Saison Edition


saX man

Recommended Posts

Quick Takes:

-We got this Poe dude.  Our DL looks studly for next season. Check.

-Our secondary has Bradberry, Elder, Munnerlyn, Seymour.  I don't find that particularly awful.  Two proven commodities, a new guy we saw last season outplay Worley and Elder is basically like a new draft pick going into the year.  Really no need to freak out right now.

-Safety is a concern but our team doesn't value them.   I can see a mid-to-late rounder spent on one or maybe two.  Adams is back

-OL: Kalil-Moton-Kalil-Turner-Williams; yes, Moton is capable at both G and T...and we've got LarsenVan Roten! at the least as depth.  Can see a draft pick somewhere on the line, not mission critical

-Weapons: Pretty straightforward and still the most important; we would like a 3-down style back and hopefully another WR.  It would be nice to have a TE2. 3 picks

--

So what am I saying? Screw the BPA philosophy (for the most part). Let's target:

OL, WR, RB, TE, S, CB

That's 6 spots.  This draft we've got a 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7

7 spots to grab basically 6 parts.  You can't strike gold with them all, but this is very manageable and without Breeland, we actually have around $9-11 mil in cap (range due to Peppers' mysterious numbers). 

Plenty of mediocre guys in the marketplace and can now grab the best fitting FA with a bit of cap to spare.  The only issue is that we're pretty much the same team as last season until the draft which is why I sense the uneasiness around these parts.

Salud.

What exactly would qualify in your mind as "particularly awful"? Because, that's right there is it.

What I'm trying to say is really at the end of the OP: 

We're pretty much the same team as last season minus Norwell and Dickson

Star-->Poe (Carry), Torrey Smith will produce more than Shepard.  

No other impact losses.  So, that makes our next moves and draft super critical even more so than in years' past.  Hurney has a lot on his plate upcoming and he better fuggin' produce.

Fier!!

@jumpman910 Fair enough but he's our CB1 and not moving so that's a piece in place.  Between Captain and Corn, you've got our NB (plus flakes...cereal joke).  It's that other guy on the outside we need.  Breeland was exciting for a few days but it is what it is (Foxy).  We can find another guy.

While Seymour IS a downgrade from Worley, it isn't as steep. Both were low-end CB2s with Seymour clearly needing more experience. I think he does have more upside than Worley fwiw. Seymour could be fair if he works on his craft.

However, we definitely need to address cornerback sooner rather than later. Would like to see if we could draft CB Jackson in the first round, followed by Reid? in the second and a solid OG in the third.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
