Who we watching here? 
 

Derrick Brown tore his meniscus game 1. 6-9 months he should be good to go 

Shaq TBD if he will be on the team next year but torn Achilles. 9-12 months and at his age I’ll assume a full year. Prob don’t see him until October if he’s back

XL wrist surgery. 10-12 weeks. Should be good for TC but sucks he will miss time he needs to be on the jugs on his own. 

Tevin Wallace shoulder surgery but I don’t know what for. It doesn’t seem serious so I’ll go 8-12 weeks. Back for TC 

Corbett TBD if he comes back but torn bicep is a long one. Going to say 10 months. Might be ready for pre season but I doubt it. 

Brooks is what it is. May not see him until 2026  


 

Corbett and Shaq might not be back. everyone else outside of Brooks looks okay for start of the year. Who else we missing?

I'm counting on having Brown, XL, and Wallace being ready to go.

Everyone else are likely either gone or should have the expectation of having a reliable fallback option in place. Neither of our current centers are starter-worthy and I can't trust Corbett at this point, so I'm inclined to say that's the priority.

If Shaq wants to.come back and be reasonable with his contract, hard to be upset over that. His leadership is missed. 

Of course I am not an insider or expert, but he small for an ILB--I think his body is going to continue getting injured because he is worn out--even a team-friendly deal would not be worth the risk, imo.  I met his after otas (he was late--Washington was on quarter system) and he looked like a strong safety--I am guessing 5'11" and 220 then.  I think he is under 230 now.  I am not sure his body is not already telling him to retire....Just my guess--I see your point.

I'm not moving on from him. 

Just saying a team friendly deal is fine. 

I'm not going to begin to guess his weight. He has beenna good linebacker for us, an even better leader. 

If the coach wants him back, I'm 💯 all for it. 

Will be interest8ng what happens after the season ends as far is coaching is concerned.  Will provide a better picture come free agency.

I remember watching him commit live at the army all American game back in the day to Washington. He was a safety then

I'd love for Shaq to come back on a team friendly deal. I also think at this point Jewell may be better than a twice injured Shaq and Trevin needs to be the starter of the future. Would he be willing to be depth? Just be a good role model in the locker room and play when needed?

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
