I am really interested to see how they use XL.  I am nervous about this pick....We still will eventually get RB Brooks, OLB Wonnum, and CB Jackson back one day.  I also think that TE Sanders will be the starting TE very soon (of course he will until Ian Thomas and Tommy Tremble return....I guessed that BC would be backing up Moton on the right side, however, it looks as though he is the backup center.  Curious, because Raym looked pretty good in preseason.  I have a feeling that situation is fluid....I think Horn and the Dane and Mike Jackson are safe as outside CBs.  Hill and Smith-Wade (I am not sure where Smith-Wade will end up) are manning the nickel position.  I think they need a fourth outside CB and a big nickel, so at least two of the the three acquired CBs have a shot at a long-term roster spot.

The bottom of the roster is going to be fluid, and week 4 we will see a lot of movement.   In my view, the bottom of the roster is how you start the turnaround process.  We are playing for 2025, in my mind.  I see 5 wins if this is what we are going with--6 or 7 if XL catches on.

      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.
