just sayin'. I liked what I saw from him this year.

Why would you think that? If Pep is not here to get double teamed who do you think teams will slide the protection too? I don't think he is ready too be our best pass rusher and the person who gets all the attention on the Line.

Right now the Dline is looking like a dog sh*t sandwich.

Yes, but what if we're known for our dog sh*t sandwich? What if it's your special recipe, what you're known for throughout the land, and then you have a new head chef who comes in and can't even manage to make a decent dogsh*t sandwich?

Your reputation is on the line. What do you do? What do you do?

OMG pep is not fuging Superman. Do you think he the only DE in league to Get Doubled???

Funny you mention that though, because Arizona stuck 1 on 1 coverage on him just like denver did a few weeks before.

Pep made it CLEAR through his lack of effort that he wanted gone.

the sad part is that he had his best season playing half ass.

What if Fox just fires Turgo and takes over the defense???

And considering our dog poo sandwich was near the bottom half of the league for the last 2 seasons I am up FOR ANY CHANGE...

i do think that we need alot of work on the DL, but i like your point.

Thanks for the compliment.

Question for you though. Do you think we need another DE to "replace" Peppers? IMO I like what I see out of Johnson and Brayton. No they are not Peppers but neither is any other DE in the NFL or in this upcoming draft.

I think the work that needs to be done is on the interior of the DL. And it might not take that much work. If somehow the team can find a Jenkins type of DT and move Lewis back to his rotational role that alone could be enough. Of course that is with Trgovac and Fox doing as I stated and change up the scheme to utilize the LB more in creating pressure.

I think we need another DE and another DT.

The DT needs to be starting quality so we can move lewis back to being a rotational guy

the DE doesn't need to be a starter just yet but someone we can trust to play in our new rotation.

Go back to rotating the dline out a lot and keep our players fresh the whole season.

If we do trade peppers, then we could possibly look at adding a dt and a de in the draft and maybe bring in one or two from FA to compete in TC

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
