We don’t have the resources to trade for a guy like Higgins in a season like this. Best you can do is see how these guys develop and/or mix in some guys on the PS or street to see if you can find a gem or improve their skill set.

Problem is, by Week 4, these lousy receivers are still gonna be "NFL open" to some, and Bryce's lack of success is gonna have them pining for Andy Dalton (at least one already is). I figured he wasn't allowed to have a rookie year but hell, he wasn't even given a rookie half.

The odds of Dalton going in for Bryce are so slim without Bryce getting injured though. Those people pining are wasting breath. Does Dalton give us a better chance to win today? Maybe.  In a year? No.

My fear is losing Bryce to injury at some point this year and Dalton balling out and having to listen to that garbage

I’m not really sure if receivers are the problem. Frank had guys running the same level routes the whole game. Case in to point was the end of the game where Sanders and Thielen ran the same route and collided out of bounds.

Oh good grief. Anyone pining for The Red Rifle can't be taken seriously.

I'm not too afraid of Dalton balling out. If he couldn't hit guys against the Lions' third-stringers, when Bryce was looking like an All-Pro against their backups, he's probably not an upgrade. But he's a good mentor.

Yeah his route concepts were garbage. I rewatched parts of the game and I only seen a receiver go deeper than 15 yards 2-3 times. It’s the same mesh routes over and over.

On one play in the 3Q he had dig/drag on both sides at the same level and everyone just kinda collided in the middle.

Julio Jones and Jarvis Landry are available

Jarvis would be just a duplicate of Thielen in what he'd bring, but I would not be against signing Julio to give Bryce a big target on the outside.

I don't normally overreact too much in week 1, but I might already be done with TMJ, he was really disappointing today at a time he had a chance to really step up without Chark and show what he can do.

For a rookie with what he has around him, I thought Young looked pretty good in the first half. Completed two-thirds of his passes and bounced back from a pick to throw a TD pass.

I'd give him a B for the first half and probably a C- for the second half. Not all his fault because the receivers were useless, but the missed deep ball made me cringe. Need some good momentum sometime, but realistically, next week's not likely that time. This whole board was patient with Matt Rhule for one and a half seasons. I'm gonna give Young more than 3 games.

this team has got to find a tyreek hill type player 

There are no Tyreek Hill type of players, he really is a 1 of 1 that this league has never seen before at WR.

Was talking with my friends the other night about what Barry Sanders would be in today's game with his size, speed, and style of play.  It occurred to me that he probably wouldn't be an RB in today's game, with his skill set, he'd be a WR and dominate like Tyreek does and be a unicorn type of talent.

yeah but I mean jaylen waddle or Jameson William type players are out there and that would be good enough for me 

we have got to go find a Dynamo

      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.
