Everyne thinks the team ( if you have to ask which one you are in the wrong place) has issues. Rather than sit here and expect a whole slew of improvements what is 1 thing (just 1) that you would like to see.

For me its an O line that isnt pretending to be water.

i'll take the easy way out...fix the trenches.

on defense apply pressure. on offense withstand it.

2nd choice...

on defense stop playing it safe and gamble/take risks. go for the big play. focus on creating turnovers and blitzing the QB.

on offense go a bit back to basics turning to a power run game and try to go for the big play downfield with 3-4 receivers (including TE) going out every play. let cam take advantage of opportunities the defense gives him as far as running the ball himself and let the option play be optional...meaning let it be something done not very often.

I'd say pass Rush. That will cure a lot issues. Like the secondary, mainly the safeties being caught with their pants down.

I'm pissed at CJ, I realize he's being double teamed but man he's had some opportunities to get sacks and he hasn't. I realize FF are great and even Pass Deflections but that won't strike fear into the O line or QB you face. Putting their guy down on a constant basis will.

With that in mind, kuddos to all the guys that have a sack that aren't CJ.

I hear a lot of talk about change the culture. How about have some passion? Veterans need have more passion. Smith has it. Why doesn't Beason have it? TD has it after a big play, how about other times? I miss the personalities back when we had the lb corp of Greene, Lathon, and Mills. Those guys played with passion. Heck, in the playoff game in which we murdered Dallas. Greene and Lathon almost accidentally knocked each other out they played with so much passion...

I don't know how you can watch the Giants game and think the pass rush needs to improve. Eli was picking our coverage apart because of the giant holes we left in the zone not because our defenders couldn't hit him in time. When the coverage is so passive and weak that you can't make Eli have to think where to pass and they only give the D-line 1 second to get their hands on the quarterback, you don't blame the pass rush.

We played so soft and predictable in coverage that Eli already knew where he was going to throw the ball during pre-snap reads. He looked to the right and saw Gamble 10 yards off the receiver. He looked to the left and saw our 5th round rookie CB being left alone on an island. He looked straight ahead and saw Nakamura talking to fans near the endzone. Our defensive line isn't elite, but we asked for too much from them by playing soft-ass zone all night.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
