I'm going to go a different route. I think leadership is the trait that is sorely lacking on this team. Within the last couple of years, we've seen the likes of TD, Luke, Olsen and Cam leave the team. This isn't about discussing the merits of those departures, but they did take with them the leadership of the team. 

Someone needs to step up and right soon.

On defense, that *might* be Chinn and/or Brown. I don't know enough about them to say they have it in them or don't. Don't come @me with Shaq being a leader - his play isn't strong enough to support that argument. 

The glaring hole is the offense. Darnold hasn't been around long enough to be a leader and I'd question his decision making process. CMC could be, but I don't think he really wants to be. So where is the leadership going to come from? Who is going to be the player to call others out or motivate the others when they absolutely have to make a play?

We were spoiled with good leaders before. We aren't now.

I thought we'd be worse than the previous year.

We were 5-11 in 2019, you thought we were going to improve last year and win more than the previous year? 

No, I’m saying that if last year was above expectations that’s not a great sign.

I don't. I think we're going to see some roster churn throughout the process of the off-season and I think there are some guys who end up on our roster who won't be signed until after final roster cuts.

Yes to general signings, unexpected cuts, FA pickups of other cuts, but I see the potential to sign a starter being pretty limited between now and week 1.

What's weird is I saw on Malik Hookers twitter and him saying that we have not reached out to him and he and Rhule share an agent. I guess its because of his injury concern, but to me FS is the biggest need in terms of the staring position. Are there any possible safety cuts from other teams to possibly look at?

like how everyone finally came to the realization that Christensen wasn't playing LT, like i said from day one.

Could be wrong but I felt like most people realized he likely wouldn’t play LT day one. I think the hope was that he could play inside this season and possibly play LT in a few seasons.

Its not great that we only won 5 games.

It is good sign that after losing Bradberry, Luke and co...we should have lost more and certainly shouldn't have been so close in so many games.

I was one who was hoping BC would play LT  at some point season.  Many disagreed with me.  

I'm really done guessing what they're doing here.   I'm not sure that they know who LT is yet.

Yeah I loved the pick but I definitely was in the camp that he would play G for us this season. And honestly, if he can be come a stud G for his career then I’m completely happy with that considering where we took him. If he ever becomes a LT then that would be a huge bonus but this line needed a lot of help and he will give us that inside at the very least

Yeah, it's weird we haven't at least entertained Hooker. The guy must just be done for physically

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
