They should extend him, he’s still playing at a very high level and can fir many years.

alright after looking at his spotrac details and considering his age and since we are def not winning next season, the best way to approach TM is to simply let him play out his existing contract this season and bite the bullet on the 29 million.    The dead cap goes to 12 in 25 so thats reasonable.  He is just getting too expensive for this franchise to plan on especially at his age.  He probably would want an ext but it wouldnt be wise for us to do that.   Restructuring his deal just kicks the can down the road and at some point we are going to need cap room to fill out the roster but it shouldnt be this year

We need three new quality players in the interior. You cannot have a season wrecked by an injury. 

But we are getting two back from injury--so do you suggest replacing them or providing depth behind them?  If I isolate on the OL, I totally agree.  But when I step back and start examining needs, Yikes.  Hard to focus 3 players on three positions.  Your point is valid--I just do not see us being able to do all we need to do without a first and with so many other needs.  So my thread is not ideal, it is just a perspective on realistically spreading our resources out.  I think we need help at CB, TE, IOL, WR, WR, LB, Edge, etc. 

To your point, if injuries hit the inner OL again, we lose the season and never develop Bryce, so it throws us back to a total rebuild.  And I believe in the inside out, front to back model of building a team.  I wish there were easy answers.  Hope you are well, Verge.  Glad to see your input--would like to see more.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
