It definitely sounds like it so far. Rams, Falcons announced they won’t be playing most starters. Browns don’t know who QB1 is so i think most will play, obviously don’t expect myles g. Out there or other stars, but they should play some starters.

I'm pretty sure McVay has been sitting his starters for a long time. That's his thing.

Man I don’t think we are going to be particularly good, but this does feel like we have an actual NFL roster for the first time in a while. 

Sounds like Canales may be running a playbook from the business book THE CULTURE CODE, which describes how to create self-functioning, well-producing teams of people.  Ex: there's a chapter about how the Spurs coaching staff worked their team into (at the time) one of the winningest teams in the NBA

(really short version? "Improve the mindset, improve relationships: get better results")

Hate to say it but I feel like our kicking game is going to be atrocious this upcoming season. Have a bad feeling that the kicker position will haunt us also season long. 

I will be very pleased if we are consistently losing games due to kicking and not other issues.

Frankly, I would be floored.

I have heard the Spurs mentioned in a lot of the motivational content I consume.  Might be a good read.

Reading Arnold's book Be Useful right now, though.

it's like taking in the Tmac highlight of the great catch down the sideline.....as he is still largely blanketed by a dude that shouldn't be on the field covering a teams "#1".  How hype can I get.....and the one real question about Tmac is can he separate from NFL DBs. 

Hopefully the Browns play there starters.  That's what I want to see.  

Yea its kind of worrisome that you mostly hear about Jackson and a udfa cb blanketing tmac so far.   Everyone including the local sports media keeps saying hes looking good though so who knows what we are missing i guess..

There's literally nothing they can do during preseason that will make me buy in. Win in September, and then maybe I'll begin to get excited.

And even then my excitement would be very tempered. We have had like 4 seasons under Tepper where we had a winning record within the first 5ish games and then some epic collapses…

To be fair, Jackson isn't a slouch... he's a very capable db...a little inconsistent but he's a talented corner nonetheless. He's not an all pro but he's imo he's slighty above the average.

I've been trying to keep my hope levels down as I've experienced the past 6-7 seasons but this just feels different and I think the feeling in the building is the same. I'm not saying we're going to the playoffs but again if our defense is two TD's allowed better a game then we're more than likely playoff team... but that's granted our QB stays on his incline and healthy. Im an optimist anyway. 

We had historically the worse D in history and still won 5 games. Hell, if we were one TD allowed better last season we would have hit 8 wins. Now factor in an improved offense, an easier schedule, a weak division, a improved defense with 5-6 new "proven" starters(not counting the rookies) and it's easy to see why people are slowly starting to hop on the bandwagon...on paper that is. 

My only question is Canales's lack of the run game. Kinda seemed like we would get Chubba running then abandon the game plan every week.

Yeah, baby. Steal of the draft.  

I kinda think Scourtin will end up being the steal and the more complete end. It will probably take a couple years to manifest but I still think he was the #2-3 best DE in the '25 draft. And to be honest, coming into last season an argument could be made for #1 consideration.... moreso if he would have stayed at Purdue. He should not have made it to the 2nd round.

I also think by the end of next season, Morgan will be known for his drafting. Last draft he netted us 3-4 starters not counting Brooks. This year he'll probably end up with the same amount. 6-7 starters in two drafts is crazy.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
