TMJ got a little better under Wilks because he actually got playing time. Ultimately he played like a 4th or 5th string WR, which would be fine if not for where we drafted him and what we gave up.

He still wasn't very consistent and I don't think he is a guy that will ever blossom into an elite WR. That's one of those "you have it or you don't" kind of traits. 

In the end, we need some dramatic improvements in that WR corps, so drafting  good prospects should definitely be on the table, if not a priority.

I’m not ready to give up on him and Shenult just yet.. Let’s see what they do with real offensive mindset running things..

It's not a matter of giving up, you need to ensure you have a good roster. Along with that comes getting better at WR. It can't be DJ Moore and a bunch of guys that occasionally show up. We need another top tier WR.

I’m not against adding another WR at all.. I’ve been watching a few because we will try this add speed to that position at some point..

I had been saying for years that we needed a big center, and now we have one. But just because he played well doesn't mean we can't upgrade through the draft and save cap money. Bozeman is good but he lacks athleticism, and this can hurt us when facing a team that has the size and athleticism up front to beat him. Look a the Bengals and Steelers games. Bozeman struggled because although he's big and strong, the quickness firing out of his stance is lacking. They were beating him to the punch and had no problem with his size. He couldn't bully them and then it became who is quicker and more athletic.

What is my point in all of this? Yes I'd like to keep Bozeman, but the draft will have big centers who are better than Bozeman. Upgrading the position is not out of the question. We could certainly use a big center who is more athletic and quicker than Bozeman.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
