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.

Can we pin this thread instead of having 347 others just like it started between now and Aug. 2019? I know its WAY too early but hell...why not?

Let's do it

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...

[4Corners]

I’m very excited for Matt Kalil, Captain munnerlyn, Devin Funchess, Dontari Poe, and Vernon Butler. 

Im excited that they won’t be on the team.

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.
