James Anderson: We're Not Out of it

I think we could get to 8-8 this year, maybe 9-7, who knows. The team isn't going to play for a pick, even though fans want that sometimes. I'd much rather Moore/Gettis/LaFell step it up than get a #1 pick that could or could not be worth anything.

These young guys have something to prove. Some of them fighting for roster spots, they aren't going to give up, especially after Sunday, getting that "winners feeling".

I'm not a fan of Fox, but he has a way with struggling teams and under dogs, but we may end up having a semi-fun season, everyone just needs to keep their expectations at bay.

And I'm a pessimist....

as I stated in another thread........ the next 3 weeks will make or break us. We play 3 NFC teams and 2 division games in those. If we don't win these we'll be 1-7 in the NFC and 0-4 in the Div......... in other words we'll be dead. If we win those 3 we'll be 4-5 overall, 4-4 in NFC and 2-1 in division...... and still on life support.

This.

Who is even worth a look at DT in next years FA?

A few. Cullen Jenkins, Ngata, Shaun Ellis, Dave Ball(lol), even Richard Seymour could help us if we need a stop gap.
those who would/could have helped coming into this year weren't allowed to because of FA rules that came into effect because of the CBA going bye bye. this next year should really have two solid FA classes in one if another CBA is reached.

also, this coming years DT draft class doesn't really look all that good at all. i would rather see us not select one on the first two days. you draft to fill a need like DT in a weak draft class and you wind up with corvey irvin.

At first, I thought it was pretty ludicrous, too.

But looking at our schedule, we could get to .500 in the next four or five games. The NFC's week this year.

I doubt it will happen, but you never know.

Thats right! Any given Sunday!...Anything can happen. It's all about who wants it more. Still have a shot! Love the attitude by Anderson!

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
