I enjoyed reading it. I really wish there was a quality DT in this draft we could snag, I think it's a much bigger need than CB at this point.

Not too sure about DT being a bigger need than CB. We are in dire need of 2nd CB. We have rookie DTs who will benefit from playing so much their rookie season and Edwards.

As far as the draft goes, I don't like Krikpatrick. Not that great cover corner. Really wish if Claiborne is gone we go OT, DT, or trade down.

For me it's been that way since the beginning of the season.

Munnerlyn is good for ST coverage though.

That's the reason I'd like to see us get Claiborne.

It moves Butler to the nickel, and Captain to a dedicated Special Teams player, where he could honestly be a Team Captain (no pun intended). He could be another Karl Hankton for us.

Btw, didn't Kalil just say that he isn't declaring?

(9:00 PM): SC OT denies earlier report about leaning toward staying in school ... Southern California junior LT Matt Kalil has denied published reports earlier today that he is leaning strongly toward returning for his senior season next fall. Kalil, who is currently being projected as the top OT in the 2012 draft and a possible top 5 pick were he to declare for this year’s draft, says he is still gathering information and exploring his options.

I updated the draft order based for week 14, assuming St. Louis loses tonight, you guys will be tied with Jacksonville for the 5th pick with identical SoS's. That would be interesting if the season ended that way, two teams with a high pick and similar needs. That would be one intense coin flip!

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
