If we go 0-3 in the preseason some Huddlers are going to explode...

We have been VERY vanilla--for example, not showing how we are going to use Chinn, not blitzing, stunting much if at all.  Shenault (billed to be the swiss army knife--has been dinged a bit but did not show his usage week 1.

Week 3 is basically the bottom of the roster dog fight.

Saw it on Twitter earlier!! I think we are in good hands!! I like Morgan!!! Sounds like we are in better hands now!! Rhule seamed to control too much cuz this would never have been said under his watch!!

Yeah, excited about other teams cuts? Hope that sends a message to the 2nd string guys to get it together. Especially linemen and cb's/rb's

Impressive presser!!  Dan seems great in this role.  Please no more pressers by him...don't want other teams to get any ideas at the end of the year.

Amusing observation.....he kind of reminds me of Hotch on Criminal Minds...did not crack a smile.  😎

I don't see the point of playing him unless they want to make Bryce look good.  

Dress rehearsal for the season? Crazy you have opportunities to practice a new offense with a rookie starting QB but we don’t want to show our hand. It’s not like the league already knows Franks playbook already.

1. He’s coming off an injury why not rest him for a meaningless game.

2. He will get a lot of touches in season, no need to give more in a meaningless game.

3.  RBs really don't need meaningless preseason games to be ready for the season, especially vets.

He'll likely get one drive of work at most.

Sanders wants to play and it'll be good to get some in-game reps with his new look offense.

It's a new offense  created with Thomas Brown.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • 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.
