Maybe we're trying to be like the Indians in the film, Major League. Or trying to tank to get a good QB in 2022.

This is what I'm wondering: since Hurney wanted to as he said "retool" last year rather than "rebuild," maybe they're committing to the rebuild now? Rather than last year being Year 1, it might have been Year 0?

Makes zero sense.  Only thing I can think of is Rhule is looking for a true nose tackle.  Obada definitely doesn't fit the bill and while Kerr was built for it, played more of 3-tech from what I remember.

Note to self: look for nose tackle in the draft.

Roy is more of a true NT. 3tech/5tech makes more sense imo.

Hve to go DT now. poo, maybe even double up. Should be fine since we are deep at all other positions... oh wait.

I like Tufele and Twyman a bunch. I’ll have to look back for a later round NT type. I’m sure there are some 6th round fat boys that can eat blocks.

I've been mocking ONE DT, but you have a point that we may need to double up now.

I like Twyman, but he's a pass rushing DT, I think only at 280 pounds?  McNeill would be steep in the 2nd, but if he's still there at #73, snag his butt.

In my mock draft, Ive had luck with getting Tedarrell Slaton late rounds. Look into him.

Backwards move unless we're planning on bringing him back cheaper. 

Actually, this move makes ZERO sense. We just created another hole in a place already shorted at talent. Kerr was one of the few bright spots last year. 

Only thing I can come up with is 1. We're trying to get younger on both lines. 2. Maybe Snow has them convinced he can make any serviceable DT work in his system. Kerr, Obada, and Roy did all overachieve (atleast my expectations anyway). 3. Kerr wanted more $$, we declined and he asked for his release.

Head scratcher regardless. Looking at the two Oline players we picked up today maybe Kerr's pff grade was too high for the Fitterer.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
