I know our run defense is awful, but I think we'll be alright. AP is unreal but Leslie Frazier is a bottom 5 head coach in the NFL. AP has also struggled(well, not struggled but he didn't have historic games lulz) against teams that are statistically worse against the run than we are.

People said this last week and how worried they were about our run D. So I'm going to say the same thing I did last week. Who cares? Worry about limiting turn-overs. We limit turn-overs we win. We turn-over the ball we lose. Let them get 200 yards rushing. If we get 500 overall it won't make a damn difference as long as we capitalize and score touchdowns. The only rushing yards allowed with I'm concerned with are those that come off of our turn overs close to our own redzone. They could get 60 all day, but if they all come off of pics in our own 20 yard line that's all they need to kills us.

There's like one team maybe not even one team that's worse than us

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
