For the first time since a week before the draft, Walterfootball has us getting a position other than DT.

Bout damn time, I posted a thread 2 months ago saying we need safety, we lost game due to retarded safety play that would have had us in the playoffs everything else staying the same. Then in the playoffs 3 teams lost due to shitty safety play. People don't understand that to fight the deep ball and tight-ends you need elite safety play. Ravens...Head 'splosion.

I just don't think DT's are that efficient anymore. We dominated the Saint's twice this year, Sean Payton or not we rocked them on their upswing at the end of the season at their house, with shitty DT play. I just think a safety would be much more viable, or the top WR in the draft to extend our leads but if it comes down to the last possession in the game I'd rather have us have a long ball stopping safety rather than a marginal upgrade over Brandon Lafell, its not like Lafell sucks.

I've watched just about all the Vaccaro videos on youtube. I don't get why he's such a great prospect. Sure he looks like the best out of a weak class of Safeties (in my opinion), but all I really got out of those videos is that he's a really good tackler. Admittedly the videos I watched weren't very good for showing his coverage skills and all. They showed an interception and a few tipped passes, but not much in that department. Vaccaro is my Kuechly this year. Not the pick or the position I want in the 1st, but if that's the direction they go I'll trust them.

what kind of logic is this. we beat the saints (who were awful this year), so therefore DTs dont matter in todays NFL. what a leap.

What? We lost, actual evidence, purely lost 4 to 5 games this season that would have had us in the playoffs on just poor safety play alone. You can argue grinding it out in the trenches all you want, but at the end of the day its about who has the last possession and it cost us games @ Atl, vs TB, vs Dal, vs, @ Chi.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
