I mean damn you had @Mr Mojo Risin on here just yesterday saying preseason didnt

matter

 

spoiler alert:  It does.  A lot

It matters more for teams with new coaches and schemes like us, less for teams with established offenses and QBs like the Chiefs or Bengals.

I was one of the "Wait and see" people as far as the preseason went, and was willing to give the team to the midpoint as long as there was improvement, but the offense looked just as poo in week 10 as it did in preseason week 1.

If missing TMo + DLew hurts this bad, then we might not have the depth we were hoping for at OL going into the season.

It was one thing to keep hearing about Clowney eating everybody's lunch, but now we're hearing that Chaisson and Johnson are getting after it. As much as I want to get excited for the pass rushers doing better than expected, I'm not ready to go through another season with the OL being as bad as it was last year.

I am pretty sure that Yosh Nijman has been out and he was supposed to be our swing tackle depth.

Having said that, said that, OL Depth was always going to be an issue just based on how completely terrible they were last season.

OL depth has been mismanaged for almost a decade now.

Either practice is uneventful today or it's starting to look a lot like last year. Hopefully the former.

The content creators could also be trying for some low-hanging outrage engagement. There's a lot more little quips than reporting on the action today.

The pressure/time is a point some if us have been looking at for deep passes. Is it bad OL that prevents deep opportunities (yes you need a little time to throw these), a confidence issue for Bryce, a play calling issue, or a lack of deep threat WRs issue? Maybe it was a combination of all the above. Regardless the past couple of practices there have been deep shots so hopefully DC is trying to address this.

Where has BC been practicing today?  Is he solely focusing on center?  I would imagine he would be a fallback option at guard since he was a solid starter there.  Or is he going to be the swing lineman?

We need to cut Zalava, Mays, and the other trash OL once cut downs begin.  I'd rather have back-ups that have had decent game experience and results than not up to par 2nd/3rd year players

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
