mccaffrey- great season among the elite

ian thomas- he looks like the next best thing at tight end 

dj moore - showed some big flashes 

curtis samuel- like moore he showed some flashes and him and moore are a great 1-2 

action jackson- looked great and he is only a rookie , could be one of our defensive studs for the future

lol if you're excited about ian thomas

Now now. No need to be glib. He made some good high point catches yesterday, which is what you're supposed to do when you've got a size advantage over a DB. Just let the QB put one up in the air, out jump your defender and come down with the ball. That's a great weapon to have.

Ian Thomas is going to be great. He came in pretty raw and has been great lately. If we resign Reid, I really like Reid, Action, and Bradberry back in the secondary. Cockrell should be back from his injury to place nickel. I’m curious to see how Obada and Haynes do with another offseason and conditioning... The most exciting thing is what you already mentioned the triangle of CMC, Moore, and Samuel full of speed, YAC, and mismatches. If we resign Williams and do a free agent guard we can go all defense in the draft DE, FS, Nickel and depth. We really aren’t in bad shape assuming Cam can recover...

I like Thomas too. I think he will be a real asset in the coming seasons. For cheap too I might add

There’s a lot to be excited about on the offensive side with the huge caveat that Cam is healthy. If Cam is healthy, we really just need to focus on getting the oline right. 

Fixing the oline should be a relatively easy thing If D Williams can come back from his injury and if he doesn’t demand a huge deal. Bookend the line with him and Moton. Move Larsen to center and draft a guard in the first three rounds and you are set. 

Fixing the defense, however, is going to take a ton of work. 

We are first going to need to trim a couple non performers:  Adams, Munnerlyn, Butler and Horton. 

Id resign Kyle Love to a deal and see if we could get TD on a team friendly send off deal. He’s still an above average line backer at this stage. 

I’d let Reid walk. It’s simply not worth the headache he brings and I am under the mindset that he is being blackballed for his stance and subsequently the nfl will blackball whichever team he is playing for. 

I’d let Shaq walk as well.

We’re going to have to draft dline and we really need to hit on a defensive end to have any hope of fixing this defense. 

In my opinion the only players safe for next year on the defensive side of the ball are:  Luke, KK, Mario, Jackson and Bradberry. Every other spot needs to be strongly evaluated and hopefully upgraded in some way shape or form.

    • Rams since you beat them already and they are 0-2 on the road against NFC South teams.
    • Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.               
    • I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.
