Yes we sucked ass yesterday in just about every conceivable manner. We need to let that go. We know Jake isn't going to be the answer in the future and that our coaching staff isn't as good as we'd like but there is a lot to like about the future:

DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart: These guys are amazing and should be around for a LONG time, so we will have that to look forward to. Sure they were underutilized in our loss but it was just one game.

Dwayne Jarrett: I think he will be something special, easily our answer for a 3rd WR. He was running crisp routes and has made some good catches this year, so hopefully he gets the roster spot next season and we get the ball in his hands. If he can turn out to be a good blocker even better.

OL: For the first time in the longest we have a very solid OL with very few noticeable holes, and the backups aren't half bad either. I doubt getting Gross back will be as big of an issue as some of you may feel it is. Even better, most of these guys are young and should be with the team for a long time.

Brayton: He's made remarkable progress over the course of the season, playing well against the run and much improved on passing downs. Along with rotational support from CJ we should be fine at LDE for a while.

Peppers: He may walk, which will be good for our team. Don't get me wrong, he's a tremendous athlete but he doesn't have the motor the truly great DE's have and he isn't worth that kind of money. What does this mean for us? It means we'll have a lot more cap room to fix our issues.

LB Corps: We have two of the best LB's in the league with Beason and Davis, and they'll be around for a while as well. Most teams struggle to find one good, consistent linebacker, we have 3.

Gamble/Harris/Godfrey: The core of our secondary is very strong and should be even better next year with more time together, chemistry is important for DB's so another year together will only help.

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
