What's impressing me about this team

Recommended Posts

We're actually using our weapons effectively and minimizing problem areas. On defense, we're improving the pass rush rapidly, which helps our linebackers and secondary avoid major issues. On offense, we're spreading the ball around with varied routes and targets, making running the ball easier even with average or below-average talent. That's not an easy thing to do. There's still room to improve, but we have a decent core to build around and that's doing a lot to mask the obvious weaknesses.

brady and snow are scheming around player deficiencies to minimize their impact... something ron rivera could never do with his coordinators at their best.

I always feel like if a player was a round peg with Ron that they better turn into a square or it’s not gonna work with him.

Our defenses under McDermott were no slouched and pretty dang good. Now he's a pretty good HC

Matt Rhule is an absolute great head coach. I had reservations but the preparation and game plans are like night and day with Rivera. It’s great. And we got a real one with Joe Brady. We better enjoy him while we’ve got him, because he’s headed for the McVay treatment. 
 

I couldn’t be more impressed with everybody. Kudos. I had serious reservations going into the year and I have firmly been proven wrong.

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
