The Week of the Chinn

This is his week to shine.

Heinecke is a pretty aggressive guy in spurts but will get funneled into the short passing offense.  For example, WFT had that crazy long drive of these 4-6 yard gains last week against TB but he still from time to time was making those more agressive shots.  That game had Winfield Jr. all over the field with a banged up TB secondary.  Our defense is quite a bit different.  And one of the more unique/frustrating ones for QBs in the league (I'd recommend anyone into podcasts start listening to "The Athletic Football Show", had a great breakdown this past week.  Their shows on the 15, 17, and today all cover it a bit.

Our fleet of DB defense is going to give Heinecke fits methinks and he's going to forget the silent assassin we've had this year in Chinn.  This may be a game where Jeremy pops off on the stat sheet, gets a sack, int, maybe even a greater impact.  I know we've migrated him back from the LOS this season but I think we've got a prime opportunity against WFT with Shaq back and Jackson, Gillmore & Bouye playing at such a high level.  Could be a really fun game to watch for fans of defensive scheming.

Chinn has been quiet af, time for him to step up.

He's been pretty damn good IMO.  Chinn has been shadowing guys, a lot of the balls we intercept come from his area where he's blanketing a guy where Donte or whoever swoops with the right angle of play at the ball.

He's been highly effective.

I’ve been wanting to talk about Chinn has he be quiet some this year because of the different position he has been playing or what?

Yeah pretty much.  Hes still been all over the field.  Its tough to have those big splash plays when hes not constantly around the LOS like last year.  Hes still playing at a very, very high level.

He's been ''quiet'' because he has not been aske to play a primary box roll where he has to make tackles left and right. 

Considering he is playing a primary roll and it seems ''quiet'' it's because he's played good coverage and has not been giving up big plays, we also have a really good front 7 and that is limiting guys from getting to the 3rd level of the defense where he's been more this year. 

I have seen him fly in and make tackles, and also prevent bigger gains when guys have gotten past the 2nd level. You'd find me hard pressed to say he's not having a good season, he just doesn't have to do as much as last season since we are improved at the LB position.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
