Ive thought all along this was a 6ish win team.  Now I am not so sure we can even get that

I was thinking 8 was realistic.  That was unrealistic given our brain trust.

Truth is, on offense we look just as unprepared for the week's opponents as we did last year.  That was part of what got me to check out on Rhule last year.  I can handle losing, but I can't handle being completely inept. 

The defense looks better, but they are not good enough to pull a 1976 Steelers and carry a team to wins by stymieing to single-digits week after week.  They are practically outscoring the offense, though.  And if somebody pulls out the offensive scores against prevent defenses, the defense may be outscoring them.

Moral on D is about take a nose dive with the way the O is playing. Blowouts are coming soon.

6 wins would shock at this point but somehow we are going to get a few wins here and there and actually make Tepper think twice about canning our unqualified for the NFL coach I fear.

I thought that before the season started.  But now getting 5 wins seems to much to expect from this team.

We’ll get just enough to not get one of the top QBs.

Well, if we got to 5 wins we would hit Rhule's average seasonal wins so I wouldn't count it out yet. We are going to get lucky on about 2-4 more I think. Your five wins may turn out to be right on the money. Doesn't look like they could do it if they play like yesterday but I bet we beat the saints again, get at least one from the falcons and then end of season we squeak out another 1 or two wins from actual good teams with real NFL coaches who may be resting some key players for the playoffs

Unfortunately, 3-1 was in the cards if not for the Rhule Tax.

      I hope Horn can stay healthy. (I have his jersey.) He is an elite talent when he is healthy. What’s the plan though, do we roll with Horn and a 5th round pick? Are we going to sign Gilmore? This has to be our worst position based off of the injury concerns.

      Duffy:  (Scheme fit)  Player Summary: This fifth year Tackle will be looking to start for his third full season. He has a thick base, and a tight yet chunky midsection, carrying more of a Guards frame. He plays with a fast twitch using his quick feet, making him quick off the snap, fast to the 2nd level, showing good recovery potential. His foot movement bolsters his sturdy lower body which he uses to drive defenders out of their gaps or effectively turn them, as well as stalemating some of the stronger lineman. Additionally, it allows him to quickly arrive and seal a pull or trap. On second level blocks he is dangerous, once he lays his body on the defender, they are rendered ineffective. In zone blocks, he quickly crosses the defenders’ shoulders and can kick out with relative ease. Christian plays with fire and pride in pass pro, competing hard to the whistle. He possesses a solid Anchor that holds up when he is out maneuvered and stands firm against bull rushes holding up with formidable leverage.   His slow turn ability in pass pro, allows rushers to arc to the QB. This also affects blitzers or delayed rushers coming from either side as he struggles to pick up the second rusher, opening a quick path to the backfield. He struggles to adjust to defenders throughout the game, causing mistakes to constantly repeat. His biggest weakness is with UOH, and wide hand placement. This affects EVERY facet of his game. On run plays and screens, while he is quick to the defender and provides a successful initial pop, it is often negated by his ability to maintain the block, allowing LB’s to fight off blocks before the ball carrier arrives. In pass pro, he is a decently executed move away from giving up his outside shoulder exposing a short path to the QB, and loss of the ability to mirror.  Scheme Fit: Zone Scheme with quick passes in an RPO/Possession, or heavy run Offense   Dyson Jr. (small school sleeper)

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      That Lawrence draft was suppose to be great. He is the only QB from the 1st still with his team before the rookie contracts are even over.  I definitely wouldn’t want Bo Nix, Penix has injury flags and is old, Daniels didn’t look great into year 5, JJ wasn’t asked to do much in that offense. These guys are far from being flawless prospects. Let’s see how they turn out.
