You know me, I love a good defensive game. Seeing these photos and videos from camp has me all giddy from imagining the future of this defensive line.

 

Burns, Gross-Matos, Brown? Those guys could be absolute studs for us for the next several year, and on the cheap too. 

 

A cheap defensive line that can get pressure from the base four?

I would be even more excited if our secondary didn't look like it was about to be hot garbage for a minute. Those guys can only get to the qb if the receivers are covered. Brees, Brady and Matty Ice (worst nickname in sports, hands down) all are vet qb's who can get the ball out quick if the heat is coming.

We haven’t seen Snows scheme yet, but you can bet it won’t be a bend but don’t break.  IMO building a young,fast team means taking chances by blitzing and forcing turnovers.  There may be a lot of growing mistakes but there will also be some great plays.  This will not be a conservative defense

Encouraging!  Let's see how they hold up against the run which was our achilles heel last year.

Our 2013 team probably got an extra 4-5 wins from the DL dominance alone. It's by far the most important position group outside of QB, and yes that includes OL. I can't think of a recent SB winner that didn't have an above average to elite DL/pass rush. I can think of a few with average to below average OLs.

Brown should be a HUGE help there. He was considered by far the most pro-ready DL in the run game, with a high ceiling as a pass rusher. Think prime Star, but who could also have the potential to have prime KK pass rushing chops.

 

Gross-Matos should be pretty solid too starting out, based on his strengths in college. But Burns definitely concerns me in that regard, as do some of our other veteran DL.

Young QB on a rookie deal.  Rebuild (actually just build) the Offensive Line.  Get some corners and a cover safety.

Do that, and we can possibly compete in 2/3 years.

I have some hope that the answers to safety might actually be on the roster. I think the OL needs a major infusion of talent though.

Let's hope you are right about the S position...I have no clue what is on this roster at S at this point.  Here's to hoping though.

I do know that we have neglected the  O Line for FAR too long, and it's going to bite us pretty hard over the next couple years.  IF we can get that good rookie QB, and that's a big IF, I'd be OK spending some free agent money on the line if we continue to draft terribly there...which we will as long as Marty is here.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
