I thought this guy was just a throw in before. I remember when we had signed him, I think as a future contracts guy... Thought nothing of it, just another scrub to take up space for TC.

THEN, I saw him play in the pre-season game. When I first saw that ugly #66 on a defensive lineman, I thought, "Great, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel now, here come the bums."

This guy blew me away. He was all over the place making plays. He looked athletic and explosive, and on top of that he's pretty similar to Hardy in terms of their build. He really impressed me, and when I went to google him while I wrote this, I saw this article:

I know he was playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers, but he looked like a beast. I had no idea he was 29 either, it's unbelievable the way he looked the other night that he hasn't stuck with a team yet. He's also out of Florida State, so he has the pedigree. Maybe another late-bloomer, Al Wallace?

Well, playing line for the Noles is not exactly "pedigree."

You're right, but until we see how EB pans out I'll hold onto hope and speak of them highly... At the least their guys are big athletes, DLs, not so much. But, I'm hoping we got a couple of the good ones.

Cause we're keeping 5 DTs most likely and Norwood is a DE/OLB so we already have 5 DEs.

This may be true, but there's nothing to say he can't outperform and become one of these five. Plus Norwood could be lumped into our LB corps, as we're pretty depleted at this stage of the game.

I was wondering mainly if Zod had heard any "whispers" or something.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
