I guess it's down to Kelvin Hayden or a CB that is cut

Is Hayden that much of a drop off from Carlos Rogers? Hayden just turned 28 last month and from what I've seen comparing stats, seems like he has played a similar role as Rogers in Washington. Does Hayden fit our scheme? Any speculation on who could be cut from other teams before opening weekend that we could acquire? Gamble as a 1 and Captain in the nickel is okay, but that gaping hole at the #2 spot is rough. Rogers on a 1-year deal for the $$ he got in SF would have fit perfectly, and given us a band-aid until next year when we can address it. Hmmmmm...... decisions decisions.

Hayden would still be our best option at #2 corner. Honestly, I don't think Rivera has any clue how weak our secondary is in a division with three of the best quarterbacks in the league. Mistake #1 for Ron, he's worried about finding a 3rd string QB but he isn't gonna address this glaring need. Get Hayden, he can adapt.

Yes we know much more about Defense than Ron Rivera. :willy_nilly:

thats the thing i'm fighting in my own mind. i keep on looking at these "glaring" holes that i think we have, esp. with CB and the lack of available talent out there and i get frustrated.

then i have to remind myself of who the HC is. the guy knows what he's doing. i know it's not totally up to him, but i feel good that hurney is doing his best to get the guys that rivera wants. if rivera thinks that we will be alright with the guys that we have or that he can make it work...he knows better than any of us. he knows better than just about anyone in the league. if he thinks it's alright to wait and see what falls with the cuts, the we have to believe that the guy knows what he's talking about and if anyone can make it work, i've got to believe rivera can.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
