Like most of you, I have multiple concerns about our roster, but man does the DE position look weak! Who is a complete DE other than Charles Johnson?

I want to say Greg Hardy too, but he has to be on the field more consistently before we really know what we have. The other 2 DEs are light-weight (250#) speed rushers.

Our backups & DL do not inspire confidence...I hope Harrison can be a dominant starter at DT. We saw the DL, in pre-season, get no push AND get pushed around; if something doesn't change it will be a long season.

Hey, change a couple names and it's the same roster as last year with the same problems:

1. Lack of quality DT

2. Lack of a #2 WR

3. Rookie QB

4. Very suspect CBs.....

Who says you can't get the same results as last year with some new faces? A new head coach and a different rookie QB on a team that essentially still has the same problems they had last season....

5-11 here we come...

Fox still has mind control over Hurney...give Hurney a break already!!! :nono:

Kidding, of course, you are correct. A new wrapper does not change the contents of a gift, nor do new players with same skill sets change the quality of a team.

I really hope that you are wrong & the rest of us who feel the same way. Problem is that even if Newton is the best thing since sliced bread he will still struggle as a rookie & how do you both bring a rookie in AND bring home a winning record? By surrounding him with an excellent OL, great skill positions & (probably most importantly) a lights out [hope Merriman didn't trademark that!] defense. We do not have a top notch D without a strong DL.

At this point, the talent on the roster is seriously lacking in all areas except the HBs, TE, OL & LBs; safety is pretty solid (kickers too, if we are going to pretend like they are football players).

Last year was a throw away year to save $, but then shouldn't this year be a 'rebuilding' year? I am not seeing where they are even 'developing' guys enough guys for an outstanding team next year. Status quo here we come...scratch that, only winning 2 games is very hard, so we will probably win between 4-7 (but losing record nonetheless).

I am the furthest thing there is from a basher or pessimist, but sadly a realist & pessimist sometimes look the same when the GM has not prepared the roster for success.

We need a "homerun" in the next few days..... A threesome of Tommie Harris, Alex Brown & trade for a #2 CB. I think a 5-11 record is our wheelhouse this year regardless, but that would guarantee one of the following:

WR: Alshon Jeffrey, Justin Blackmon

CB: Dre Kirkpatrick, Alfonso Dennard

DT: Jarrel Worthy, Brandon Thompson

As much as we need a WR like Jeffrey, I don't see how we can ignore a stud DL(DT or DE) in the first round.

Yeah, we need realistic expectations. I just hope we're trying to win this year as opposed to trying not to lose last year. I can support a young team that takes chances and looks like they're trying to win and get better.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.

      Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people

      His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offense trending upward given the investments we've made. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
