that leaves 5 positions open for competetion next year

Diggs has been good, I just don't understand why you guys are already looking for someone to feel the void when he clearly has a couple years left.

I don't get it either. Our LB corps is one of the best in the league, and most importantly we don't need to mess with a group of 3 guys who've been working well together for 3 years now. That is unless Connor shows himself to be extremely capable at Sam, which isn't very likely.

Posts with no grammar or set out are painful.

LCB: Gamble

SS: Harris

FS: Godfry

RCB: Ken Lucas (I'd rather Marshall)

WLB: T. Davis

MLB: Beason

SLB: Diggs (or Connor)

LDE: Brayton

DT: Kemo

DT: Lewis

RDE: Until there's a pick, or a signing: Charles Johnson

I hope you're not talking about me. As for your logic, it's flawed. Connor doesn't have the skills or size to play strong side. If anything, Davis would be moved back to strong side and Connor starts at weak, and to be honest, there would be no point.

Between Diggs and connor there is about 5 pounds difference.

As for his abilities, he was compared to Pousluzny and Morgan coming out and that's high praise, he has the skills to fit any of the three positions, Diggs was playing great football last year. There's no reason no to consider connor as an SLB.

I've never understood the need each season to replace Diggs !!

Seems some want 3 all-star lb's

But after watching over 40 seasons of N F L football,I can't think of many teams that had 3 all-star type lb's playing

I've never understood why a player can not play a positiun B/c they did not play in college

Connor is a rookie to NFL play ,off season weight room s,NFL coaches and trainers .He may be capable of playing any of the LB spots

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
