Did you guys suddenly forget who our GM is?

David Gettleman won two superbowls with an amazing front 7 and a secondary composed of bwood post-level defensive backs.

The panthers rated 2nd in defense in 2002 with an outstanding front 4 and some dudes behind them that may or may not have been busing tables previously

Also, Short had a first round grade on him from several experts (BUT NOT MAYOCK!!!!!)

I am okay with getting two DT's, Edwards is aging and it has been a need for most of our existence. I wanted Jessie Williams more, but I am okay with it.

With Star forcing Double teams, and Short being more of a pass rushing DT. The opponents OL better have great Tackles to contain Hardy and CJ. If teams have to leave more people in for protection that means we will have less guys running routes on our (supposedly weak secondary). Maybe me can blitz TD and Beason more and let Luke roam the field and make plays on the run or on the pass.

I am excited for our draft.

"Does a great pass rush mask issues in the secondary? Of course it does." - Gettleman

LOL

He makes no bones about it...pass rush will be the strength of this defense no matter the state of the secondary. Considering how well the back four played towards the end of last season, perhaps that gave him the intention to go all out on the DL.

Jessie still hasn't been taken. Triple up on DTs? :) At that point I'd just laugh my ass off. I appreciate the pick of Short in the 2nd, though I would have preferred Allen or Warford probably, but adding Short to our DL rotation makes our front 7 just insane and young.

I'm excited about this pick no doubt. I believe Gettleman learn from the best over the years. I believe he knows what he is doing. Coming from the Giants that has a great D for years now. I put my faith in Gettleman to do the job right. It will pay off come training camp. So when we are 6-2 in the middle of the season and our D is in the top five. Then the whining little kids right now will be mad about been wrong. Gett. has everything in hand right now.

Warford is the only guy I would have rather had than Short. I like Short over any other defensive pick.

Yep. Other than Warford,tThe offensive guys people had in mind minus Escobar fell farrr. We got great value and a 3-5 tech that will keep our d-line fresh and hopefully dominant.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
