Injury updates

This team doesn’t have much depth. One or two injuries to key offensive players and/or defensive players and this team goes from looking like a playoff team to not. There just isn’t much room for error for this team. 
Hope we can find a kicker ASAP.

Our linebackers, dline and oline are horrifically thin.  We are going to be threading the needle with injuries all year. 


The zane injury really fugs us up quite honestly

For the DL/OL, the starting groups are relatively underwhelming, as well. 

I think we are in for more struggles in the trenches this coming season. 

It's a shame because our skill position groups look fantastic.

OL/DL has to be a major focus for the 2023 offseason. Hopefully we get a coaching staff that realizes the value of investing in the trenches.

Wonder what Ryan Santoso is up to these days. He seemed solid for the short time he was here. Wouldn't mind him until Zane is back (if he even comes back).

Now wait for the "who's more fragile,CMC or Zane"? poll to be posted.

This is the part that people seem to forget about us. 2016 team was way better than this team. It was a sucky year but we were Gano’s worst season and so many OL injuries/position swaps away from the playoffs. Imagine Gonzalez being out for the year with the replacement missing 3 GW FGs and being down Moton, Elflein, Bozeman, Corbett playing T for a few games and having to move Iky to RT in week 3. Add in Shaq being out for 7 games and Horn for 4 games. Also, not coincidentally, it was Cam’s worst year before the shoulder was completely shot. All that and that team still finished with 1 more win than any of the past 3 years.

We are crazy thin, especially with all the draft picks given up and TMJ not contributing.

What does TMJ have to do with us being thin? We're not thin at WR. You said it yourself, he's not contributing. It doesn't sound like Rhule misses him either.

I think the idea is that the pick was wasted, since it could have gone to lineman of better quality than the low-rounders we dredged for and TMJ is 'always' hurt.

Not saying I agree, just how I read it.

This is what happens when you trade a bunch of picks for QBs who suck / won’t play. Sacrificing depth for wishes at the QB position

    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first. 
    • Look at what the Bears have done with Caleb Williams, drafting playmaking WR's and TE's and making it easier for him to operate the offense. Conception is perfect for what the offense needs (speed and someone who can make defenders miss) and as today, April 11th, I think he's the pick @19
