Hurney was interviewed on WFNZ today and asked some direct questions about our CB situation, here is my summary of what was said:

- We like what we've got at CB right now, but we're keeping our eyes open.

- Are we interested in Asante Samuel? Sounds like the answer is no, talks about how we're close to the cap and now we need to "pick our spots" (Samuel is too expensive).

From what I've seen/heard, RJ Stanford seems to be performing well in camp so maybe we're projecting him as our nickelback with Capt. and Gamble on the edges?

My concern is what happens if either Capt. or Gamble go down with an injury...

are Gamble/Capt better than the duo we had in 2003?

maybe Rivera will make up for what we lack in the back w/ pressure?

in 2003 our division wasn't a power house like it is now. Captain will not be able to cover Julio Jones/White. He won't be able to cover Colston or Mike Williams either

Yeah, the Jones/White vs. Gamble/Capt matchup doesn't sound good.

It's possible that we're bluffing on the Samuel situation to see if the price drops... Eagles have too many cooks in the kitchen right now and Samuel is already getting nippy about it (his interview the other day).

I felt pretty certain we were going to sign Carlos Rodgers... now I'm not sure what to think.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
