Bryce has been dropping dimes right into the bread basket on the passes I saw. Minus the theilen clip that was posted here yesterday. He’s gotta get that ball up a bit to allow for YAC. That said I understand it’s just training camp and he’s a rook.

This has always been the case.

While I have much more confidence in our staff than in previous years, I still occasionally question moves they make. D. J. Johnson in the third? Okay, I'll reserve judgement. Keeping Henderson around is another. My conclusion is either they think they can get more out of him or there's literally no one better out there in the coaches' estimation.

I normally dog on this team a lot, it's well earned, but these moves don't bother me as much as some others.

DJ was selected because of a run, and a need....and his profile.  EE sees something there that gets him excited for his defense...who knows how it will turn out, but I really like seeing a DC be IN on a player, explaining that to both the coach, and the GM/scouts, and them agreeing with is idea and approach.  Again, could be a bad call, but I do like the conviction and communication.

As to CJ....he's an incredible athlete, is young, is fairly cheap, has been poorly coached, and both of our starters are coming off of injury, with one of those being an achilles.  I totally get the move, and yes, he's better than most anything out there currently.

It sounds like the defense is catching up to the offense in preparation and execution on the field.  Iron sharpens iron as they say. I can't wait to see what happens when the pads go on and the tempers flare. 

The conundrum of camp. Is this player/unit really good or does that other player/unit just suck?

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
