Not when they make stupid moves when we need help in other spots that are more important. That’s what happens when I think we’ve never had back to back winning seasons.

I get the continued concern about the offensive line... I share it big time, especially on the left side.  And Paradis has been overpaid the whole time he's been here.  Unfortunately, short of guys playing better than expected and/or schemed around, it's going to be an issue all year.

As for LB, I think the coaching staff views LB as more settled than a lot of fans do.  The emergence of Jermaine Carter & Frankie Luvu is a big deal.  Shaq is solid even if he is overpaid.  Reddick is going to get a lot of playing time.  Chinn is also going to line up a lot more as a LB than I think the coaching staff wants to let on.

I think we are going to play a lot of 3 safety looks with Chinn, Burris, and Sam Franklin where Chinn is in a hybrid role.

Rhule has given Phil Snow everything he has wanted since he's been here... I think if Snow felt we needed another LB it would happen

Hopefully they have a corresponding trade to get a pick back

Yikes....Provided Sam pans out and a stud O-line doesn't drop to us we desperately need to trade back in the 1st and maybe 2nd to add more picks.

I loved the way we stockpiled picks, 11 to be exact and they all seem like their gonna contribute in their own way. I never want to go back to the Hurney trade ups, coming away with 5 picks and getting 1 1/2 contributors per draft.

We’ll see how dumb u think is when we don’t get any oline and watch Darnold get put out after a couple weeks.

Who out there would you have us pick up that is going to magically improve the group we already have?  Not like there are a lot of top flight LT's out there just waiting to get scooped up right now...

This is a legitimate concern... and the idea that it is going to be solved 2 weeks before the season is probably a pipe dream

I honestly think Darnold will be a decent QB with all the weapons he has, but there were times, especially early on, against the Steelers backups where Darnold was having to abandon the pocket immediately due to pressure ala Mahomes in the Super Bowl... no QB is going to do well with immediate pressure up the gut.

Very true... it's still a valid argument and indictment that this organization has peddled out bad offensive lines for the majority of the past decade, and unfortunately, this season isn't looking great either in regards to either performance or stability on something so crucial

Good thing is our final roster this season very well may comprise of 30% draftees from the last two drafts.  That’s insane!  Also means we can afford to walk into the draft next year with fewer picks.

OK--off topic--when again can we ditch the gut and the nut pics?

After next week...week1.  FYI, when you passed in front of me at training camp, you had put on some weight, I noticed, and didn't use enough gel for Spartanburg humidity...your hair has nearly flat!  C'mon man, you can't let yourself go like this...

My gut has been this big for years and I proudly show it off!!!

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 1,200 combined yards I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
