If we are going full Tank mode.. Which 1st moves is letting Cam go (he ain't tanking).. Getting rid of older players with big contracts now and take the hit now...... But Jmo you still need to start and rebuild some parts of this team by signing some younger cheaper options in FA.. And concentrated on 1 side of the ball... Either go ahead and try to get the defense straight now.. Or get the offense ready for Lawrence to step in and go... What would you do this offseason??

Stop with the tanking talk. If we were tanking we would definitely trade Cam and Trai would've been traded for picks rather than a 31 year old LT.

Rebuilding doesn't necessarily equal tanking.

Not to mention, tanking is tough to pull off in the NFL. Even if you do opt to try and tank, it largely ends up being unsuccessful.

We're clearly trying to go younger in some positions, and shed unnecessary salary in positions of lesser importance which leans toward the talk of analytics we've heard about.

People need to chill with perceiving intent of active tanking in every move.

I see some of you are a little bit sensitive.. But the question still stands..

"If" we're going for Trevor.. What would you do this offseason?? Go hard on rebuilding the defense or work on putting a offense together that Lawrence can come in and run with??

Making trades on draft day picking up 2021 draft picks

Also trading Cam and CMAC would be 100% clearly tanking! I keep reminding people tanking is an organizational decision an the head coach just tries to steer the ship the best he can! I don't advocate, encourage or a fan of tanking at all! I also really believe that it's on the table for 2020!

I think things are set up right now to:

(1) Build a front-7 from scratch with (4) Shaq, Burns, Miller, Haynes as starting pieces

(2) Acquire new weapons (TE, Min. 2 WRs)

(3) Retool the OL (Okung in at LT, add a swing lineman (Adeniji?), FA, and we've got Daley, Moton, Little to figure out)

 

And I will caution two things:

(1) That our secondary and OL may not be addressed in a long term sense

(2) We have $33 mil in cap consuming past/current/dead money for the LT spot combined for 2020.  Do not expect major moves.  Maybe 1 FA signing that was a good starter in 2019.  2 if we're lucky.  

 

Just depends if this coaching staff and the players they get are a hit year 1.  You never know in the NFL.  I have a good feel about some, meh about others.  Overall, excited for the reboot/retool/rebuild, whatever you want to call it.

So which would you do?. Attack the defensive side heavily added a few offensive pieces later in the draft and FA or Build up the offense and attack the defense next year??

I like building the front-7 defense but staying open for weaponry if there's someone too good to pass on.  If this means heavy defensive draft but maybe offense sprinkled in, that's how it shakes out.  

FA comes first so I would target a few particular things to create the condition for a building block draft:

-Another offensive lineman.  Likely a swing type but a starter at LG.  Won't be a top one though but hopefully we can find better than GVR. 

-A starting caliber CB that is realistic.  I think we're looking more at a Juston Burris type.  Younger, but won't be super pricey.  Could be part of the team long term. 

-1 WR to allow for flexibility high in the draft.  Again, we're not going after top guys so I imagine we're looking at a Rashard Higgins type

 

This would allow us to build the front 7 and not feel things are getting neglected.  We have holes in every facet of the game right now.   I also think we're low key looking at TEs in the draft and hard.  Harrison Bryant & Cole Kmet are the two i love.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      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.
