Who will blow it Sunday?

I will not further hijack this thread, so this is it for me, as this is becoming more suited for draft talk.

When we let Burns go, well he is only so-so and we can find better pass rushers and more productive pass rushers.

We haven't. That isn't so much an endorsement on Burns, but more an indictment on our emphasis on pass rush.

To that end, we deserve what we have. 18 sacks. Virtually no pressure. The leader being our do-it-all seemingly only defensive player that makes an consistent impact on games. With something like 6 sacks.

It's a pathetic number for an NFL team to post. If we go wr, he better be the 2nd coming of Rice, Moss and T.O. to warrant a selection.

 

Well the people in charge thought they addressed that but are being proved wrong. Now it's a hope of development thing moving forward.

Burns wouldn't have that production here either this year. He only produced 1 year in his total time here like is for them this year. They also put more effort i to stopping the run vs rushing too.

TBH, I think we might have something in Coker as a decent possession WR but outside TMac, it's largely JAGs. It's a moderate potential and probably the lowest floor of any NFL roster outside of those two guys. Arguably even with those two guys.

It's easily the worst WR room just in the NFC South alone.

So, I do think it's still an extreme need. Perhaps behind other extreme needs but it's a position in pretty sad shape overall.

Maybe but then again how sure can we be when the offense is held to such a level to function? I agree your probably right.

I think extrem is oline, MLB  and QB followed by Dline. The rest are 'should look anywhere to keep upgrading' type situation.

Elite TE is what a Bryce Young QB needs--we get little out of that position.  Furthermore, our OL, the highest paid in the league, is ranked somewhere in the middle. Personally, I think TMac, Coker, Legette (to me, he just does not understand the position like he should--he plays a bit slow, does not feel the sidelines, and his route running is not great but has been improving.--still...)

IDK about what Bryce needs, per se. I posted up a thread with some utilization rates for Canales specifically, so I think there is legitimately a hard ceiling for TE impact in his offense. 

You think that WR grouping is? I think you forgot to finish your thought on the sidebar.

This thread reminds of the November (Rams) prediction thread. Foretelling Stafford beating us seven ways to Sunday. Bottom line...no one knows especially this season. I channel the great Chris Berman here..... "That's.......why they play the games".

I think the OL is the position we should be in the best overall and really are. That's our best group outside of RB, although that will soon fall off dramatically with Dowdle likely leaving. That said, it's a group that should ALWAYS be adding assets in the draft to upgrade.

IMO, I would rank our position groups(worst at the top):

1. ILB

2. QB

3. EDGE

4. TE

5. WR

6. DL

7. S

8. CB

9. K/P

10. OL

11. RB

You didn't list the refs as an option?

I'm not just talking about us. Officiating around the league seems as bad as it's ever been this year.
