Good post.

My 'like to see's' would be..

1. Use CMC much more as a slot WR or a WR out of the backfield. Give the other RB's all the inside runs. Lets see what he can do at WR and save him for next season.

2. Cade Mays needs reps. Hes a boom or bust player. 

3. TMJ needs significant reps. 

4. Give Brandon Smith reps at OLB and DE. He is a physical Micah Perasons... lets see if we can create that. 

I agree on CMC. No need to run the crap out of him on a losing season. I also agree with TMJ and Smith, lets see what they got.

On the other hand, I see no real rush to test Mays. Corbett's contract all but guarantees he's our RG next season and Mays is on a cheapy cheap contract. There was camp talk about him at center, but no need to fug with an o-line that is finally playing well together by trying to force him into a new position.

WIlks is trying to win, I doubt he dials it back with cmac this season especially given what I watched on Sunday.

We need to trade CMC though. I get that he’s a phenomenal talent. But you can find stud RBs on day 2 of the draft and they’re a lot cheaper. I’m not talking trading him for peanuts though I want 2 2s or a first 

You know, that is correct.  CMC should be traded to a good team, such as the Bills.  We have some RB's that can use the development from more action.

If that gameplan by him on Sunday was him trying to win, then oh wee mayne

The 21 passes the Panthers attempted Sunday traveled an average of just 0.9 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. That’s the lowest average depth of target for any team in a single game dating back to the start of TruMedia’s database in 2014 (the previous low was 1.76 by the Chiefs in a 34-7 win against the Rams in 2014).

As I look ahead to 2023, my goal is to optimize our chances for the #1 pick without compromising the opportunity to build a perennial contender and still make the 2022 season watchable. How?

1. Don't trade good players away without a ransom. We need the foundations of a team for the future. Unless the player has no future with us, hold onto them. It will make this year more watchable too. Imagine how horrible this team would be without McCaffrey. 

2. Play some of the young guys especially in places without a clear cut veteran presence. I'm looking at you, Terrace Marshall Jr. Or even players like Cade Mays or Brandon Smith especially as first man up with any injuries. We have to see what we have and develop them into future assets or figure out sooner that they're unlikely to be in our long term plans. It's a shame Corral is injured or this would be a great time to roll the dice with him.

3. Play aggressive as hell (basically the opposite of the Rams game). I'm talking fake punts left and right, go for every 4th and short, suicide blitzes, let it fly downfield. Probably more likely to make us lose but be way more fun to watch in the process. A win-win.

4. Keep the QB carousel going. Get Darnold on the field the moment he's healthy. It will at least add intrigue to see if he can do anything with a decent offensive line and healthy McCaffrey. 

What do you say? Anything you hope to see or that would make watching our games worth your precious time on Sundays?

 

These are all really good points. The only thing I would like to add to this is a good general manager and a good coach. People who are smart at recognizing talent.

I don't think he's our franchaise QB, but if he has a good showing we might get something for him.

Its going to be 8 weeks into the season before we even see him.  Say he plays lights out for 3 weeks.  You envision a team trading anything for him with 2/3 of the season basically over?

 

Sam needs to ride the bench and never play again for us.  Its pointless.

I agree with everything other than seeing Darnold again. He's behind Baker, Eason and PJ on my chart. The story on him has already been told. We know what he is. Nothing to learn. 

Agreed.  

But you have to admit that if we want the #1 pick, maybe throwing this dunce out there wouldn't be the worst idea as far as that goes.   lol

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
