So are we standing still?

Right now, it's just a roll of the dice as to whether any team has improved or collapsed with their free agency moves. They are just trying to read the tea leaves.

You never know when you have a Julio Jones pick-up that ends up just falling flat, or a Jake Delhomme signing that sends a nobody team to the Super Bowl.

We lost a couple of one year (or less) rentals, we picked up some linemen that are still capable of being steady for a few years down the road (barring some unforeseen injuries they may have got past the inspectors). 

On paper, it looks to me like we're moving ahead in the right way. An extension for DJ, a restructuring of CMC and a resigning of DJax all seem like good moves and an attempt to keep the band together. I like that and didn't expect it from Rhule and Co. I hope that we're all pleasantly surprised this year.

The OL is looking great, so I have a sickening feeling that somebody, or multiple somebodies, will get hurt before the season starts.  I admire the attempt they’ve made at fixing a glaring issue.  

Hey, stop that! This time we have players in their natural positions with good technique who know how to play the game. That'll eliminate the propensity of injuries. Don't jinx it. 

The Falcons are right where I want them to be with the Saints not far behind. 😎

    • agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it. 
    • I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.
    • I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
