Yea I kinda dont think we're tanking. 

Unless half the defense lands and stays on IR... 

This Tampa game will tell you all you need to know.

McCaffrey being 75% of the offense last Sunday is starting to make a little more sense now. Ofcouse McAdoo couldnt be that stupid..They were showcasing his talent and current durability to suitors. Hell I recall one play early on he got absolutely drilled by Rapp and I had no doubt Foreman was subbing in. But nope...... we fed him more and he ended up breaking free and stiff arming Rapp the next play. I dont think the Rams even thought we'd be reckless enough to call another run play to our injury prone star rb directly after that collision. I honestly said to myself, somebody is trying to prove a point. 

IF my theory is actually true and that last game was indeed somewhat of a CMC showcase then I expect this week will be totally different. We'll be airing it out alot more with PJ. AND as silly as it may seem, we could still technically suprise a few teams.

Stout D when rested...

Oline starting to look really serviceable...  

WRs: We still have Moore, Shenault, Terrace Marshall, Shi Smith, Higgins, Saunders... enough to get the job done.

RB: Foreman (filled in for Henry last year and did a suprising good job), Chubba (meh), Blackshear (who ironically reminds me of McCaffrey-lite in his movements which makes sense why we stole him from the Panthers North) 

QB: PJ (handcuffed 60 yard version) ... But PJ has shown he can win a game when given a competent play pool.. Eason(need a bigger sample size), Baker and Sam. 

It's still fair to say we're an QB (Go PJ minus the checkdowns), HC (who knows what Wilks can manage) and OC (get him an assistant) away from that #1 pick becoming a top 8-15 pick this season. 

Hell we played the last 2 seasons without McCaffrey and still didnt even sniff #1. 

Summary: It will be harder to maintain that #1 spot then alot of people realize. I'd pump the breaks on that type talk until the bye week. There is still alot of football left. 

Sidenote: McAdoo calls another game like last week then hell yeah we're tanking.

      The Pro Bowl is Unwatchable

      I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL

      1 shot 1 goal tracker

      I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes.

      Post senior bowl PFF mock draft

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
