Big praise for our UDFA rookie safety, he had a great game today and looks like another great hybrid SS/linebacker. Give this defense two more years with good coaching along with plugging up our linebacker core plus another DT/CB and we’re legit. This team is young and talented I’m super impressed by this team this year!

I'm going to put this out there now.  We'll be in the hunt next season for a wildcard playoff spot.    These games we lose this year, we'll win next year.

Yeah, he's a baller. 

If certain spots on our defense were even halfway decent, we'd be easily winning these games.  It just sucks, bc we have a couple bright spots, really bright- Burns, Brown, Chinn, Franklin, YGM, and maybe Douglas and Carter, but the rest of this defense you could pretty much throw in a trash can.  The secondary and front 7 outside of the guys listed are likely the absolute worst in the NFL.  The only reason we aren't ranked dead last is bc Snow is literally dropping 8 into coverage 90% of the game just to slow them down and eat up clock.  This is the worst 4 or 5 weeks stretch of defense I can ever remember having.  I think we've forced 2 punts in 5 weeks lol.

Definitely enjoyed watching Franklin the past few weeks. Still rough around the edges, but he is certainly exceeding expectations. He has had more flashes of promise than I expected for an UDFA and think he can be part of the rotation. 

I wonder if when Burris and Chinn return, if we would kick 52 to the bench and move Shaq inside, with Chinn and Franklin moving around, and Burris/Boston on the backend.... or maybe the plan is for Franklin to be paired with Burris, and move on from Boston. 

So many options...but glad Franklin is making the most of his opportunity.

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
