Our DT are not ready

some decent options out there......that have no interest in playing in the preseason. hopefully we can get one next week or so.

I hope you are right. I don't think it was the worse thing in the world to wait and see what the young guys at DT have, but the results have not been good by any stretch of the imagination.

I think it is ridiculous to say after 3 preseason games that McClain and Fua can't play, but they are obviously not ready to be starters at this point.

It's hard to spreculate exactly how much Ron Edwards would have helped, but it is beyond frustrating that the team has not fixed this problem over the past 3 years.

Even at DE, I think the team needs to be potentially add someone. I am comfortable starting Johnson and Hardy, but Norwood and Brown are basically the same guy (pass-rush only) and not equipped to be an every down type players. And unfortunately, neither one has shown enough so far as a pass rusher only. Charles Johnson is going to get double-teamed every down as bad as the rest of the line has been so far.

On the O-Line, there really isn't a good alternative on the right side if Schwartz and Otah can't go. It's hard to believe that one or both of them aren't going to miss significant time in the season. RG is a dumpster fire right now. Bernardeau and Duke Robinson are garbage.

I think another frustrating thing about this team is that we have some top end talent (CJ, Beason, TD, Otah, Gross, Kalil, Smitty), but then we have a major drop-off to some of the other guys.

I don't know if we overpaid so much for the guys we kept (I mean, at 2-14 you've got to give a guy incentive to sign), but depth is a big-time concern at every position outside of LB and TE.

Gettis getting hurt sucks- he could at least get open deep. LaFell, Naanee, and Armanti have not shown anything to make you believe they can be a legitimate #2.

I guess the longer I type, the more issues I realize this team has. I haven't ever mentioned QB b/c this is a learning year for Cam, but this team has a lot of issues.

Maybe not Detroit a few years ago issues, but certainly enough that 5-6 wins looks like the ceiling right now.

And I say this as a proud PSL owner who will be at every game

      Thin sliced roast beef, provolone, and roasted bell peppers on a toasted sub roll.  At least one thing is going right today. I don't trust anyone who's never put Bugles on their fingertips to make witch fingers.

      But yeh,  Bryce is the only problem on this sorry excuse of a team. You could put Tom Brady on this team and we would still suck . Worst part is Tepper and his various band of clowns have been trying to build a competitive team for 7 freaking years and are no closer now than when it all started.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Regardless of the trade and where he was picked, Bryce actively created deception. He wore a hoodie to the combine and was 15 lbs heavier because he packed on water weight because he didnt weigh near 200 lbs. He didn't participate in drills in a wide open 4 way, really 3, QB bid. Then there was all this hype over the S2 test that he had been practicing that we've never heard about in the draft process since. Does anyone think it was an accident Stroud's score on the S2 was released? Stroud said forget the score, watch his tape. Wonder why. There was a whole bunch of shady poo going on surrounding Bryce pre draft, and I for one, find it all a little too convenient.  Just my opinion, but he was a used car salesman that used some armor all and a wash n wax and maybe a set of white walls then schmoozed his way at dinner with Dave and Nicole and sold them that he was a super savant.  There was a whole lot of BS swirling around the BY hype train and he was a full fledged participant. Frank didn't want Bryce, he wanted Stroud. A new head coach does not pick a QB he has to go design a brand new offense around unless that guy is a generationaltalent, which Bryce was most definitely not. He picks the guy that best fits what he does and that was Stroud. This was Dave and Nicole's pick and they fuged this team like they've done over and over again since they've been here. They fell for use car salesman Rhule, then used car salesman Bryce and company. And the fans got stuck with the 4 years of payments on a car less reliable than Al Bundy's Dodge.
