Yeah a lot of that is our horrible safety play. Horn has been solid IMO. Mike Jackson was targeted most games I watched. 

He is, but he's also one of the leaders in pass breakups. 

I wouldn't mind a younger option we bring in during the draft but depending on what he wants he isn't a bad #2. It isn't his fault that our scheme never lets Horn move so he's always vs the other teams #1...

There’s too many other issues not to keep the few promising defensive players that we do have. Jackson and Horn both need to be rewarded this offseason with contracts. We need major help (in order) at edge, interior DL, linebacker, and safety. Morgan needs to sign 3-4 high impact defensive free agents and go heavy defense in the draft, while also looking for more help at receiver and center. That’s where my focus would be.

It's nothing short of horrifying that it was written as if it's a foregone conclusion that all of the coaching staff decisions are Tepper's alone. If he keeps doing this we're going to keep losing.

Let Morgan be the GM. If he fails fire him and try again. Let Canales be the HC. If he fails fire him and try again. But stay the fug out of the football decisions behind that.

To paraphrase Dan Snyder 1.0, "Well what's the fun in that?"

I predict we hire Robert Saleh for DC and make him one of the higher paid coordinators in the league. Him and Canales have history together.

"Hi Robert, meet your defensive roster. What do you mean you've changed your mind?"

That's concerning.

What's also concerning is they're talking about Young like he's the nailed on starter next year. That's terrifying.

I mean, that's just where we are right now. With Bryce's improved play, what will be a better option for us? The only guy potentially available that I'd want is Cam Ward and he's highly unlikely to be there when we're on the board. If he was, is draft him and put Bryce on the auction block but it's highly unlikely.

Most likely, it's Bryce. Hopefully with a legit marginal starter/good backup type behind him to push him. I'd make him earn it in camp next year though. We got the best out of Bryce when we stopped coddling him and benched him and made him earn it.

A young(er) vet and/or a mid round pick depending on who drops.  One thing is for certain is the qb room has to be upgraded from Dalton.    I think at the end of the day Drew Lock will enter the equation.  Just makes too much sense.  Big mobile qb with a rocket arm that kindof fits the mold of geno smith.

His improved play simply isn't good enough. We're wasting another season running him out there as the starter.

I think we're probably wasting another season either way. I'm just not big on this QB draft class outside of Ward. We're probably looking at rolling with Bryce and hopefully a quality veteran backup. I don't see anyway around it other than selling the farm to try to trade up again. No thanks on that.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
