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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
