Anyone else impressed with Jason Shirley?

i'm kind of disturbed that neblett and practice squad scrubs/7th round rookies/UDFA are helping our run D more than the 3rd round rooks we selected ourselves.

whatever works though, i guess. rivera mentioned in his presser today that shirley did a solid job except on one play he flushed ryan outside when the blitz was coming up the middle iirc.

Rookie DT's not named Suh take time to develop.

I think everyone here understands that DT's need time to develop. That doesn't mean that they should play damn near every snap for the first 9 games to the detriment of the rest of the team.

If they need development time, put them behind someone better and use them in a rotation until they prove they can handle it.

Keeping them on the field at all costs this year has been, imo, asinine.

Overall I've been impressed with our DTs since our two 3rd rounders got put on IR, though personally I do think Mcclain had his moments.

Unfortunately our corners got the poo exposed out of them. Butler can play but he isn't going to win every battle, and he needs safety help often. Would be a better nickle I think.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
