The real question is how are you all going to react when we DO NOT take a DT in the first.

It's not like the world will end. People make predictions that do not come true all the time. Kinda like how people think Kentucky will get all the way to the NCAA Championship.

kill. everyone.

that is the one I expected.

Everyone is so convinced and married to the idea of a DT in the first is a given, that I think the reactions wil be close to melt down levels.

Unless Rivera is pulling a MAJOR smokescreen, I do buy into his continuous comments that he likes our young DT's and that they do not see DT as a major area of need.

But then again, I am wrong more than half the time.

Brockers is a mystery, to a degree, and any team would be foolish not to consider his upside and talk to him.

Why take a DT in the first round--even if it were a huge need--when the dropoff in talent is minimal well into the second round?

I agree--DT is not as big a need as people think. They want to blame the DTs for the run defense when Hardy was not disciplined in run support and the LBs behind them were second teamers.

I am one who thinks DE is a bigger need. I also think we will address the OL. Expect us to pick up a WR and LB depth. With Shirley, Edwards, McClain, Fua, Neblett, and Kearse, we are very young at DT and RR is probably going to let the youth mature. We may not take one.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
