Why won't Gettleman pull the trigger for the Secondary?

This is what makes me most nervous. His faith in the position is fine, but don't be so cocky that you don't do due diligence and add great competition there when it's staring you in the face. If "your guys" are really as good as you think, they'll win, but to stake the season on such a massive question mark is a terrifying prospect.

This division is stacked with quarterbacks and wide receivers and passing on some of the talent that has fallen is truly mind blowing. Low risk, high reward but this franchise has always been too scared to pull the trigger to potentially get us over the top.

There are still starters at skill positions to be had on both sides of the ball because of character issues but we will take an offensive or defensive linemen that won't see the field.

I think the biggest issue is that everyone else is a depth guy at this point in the draft. We already have depth guys at both S and CB so why take more of the exact same guys. Better to draft guys who fill true needs like backup linebacker and others. Its all about the player actually fitting the role they are drafted for.

How many winning seasons for us so far?

And THIS is why we won't be in the playoffs.

I thought the same thing when we went for Klein instead of Hawthorne, the CB. But, I believe that Gettleman has enough confidence in Florence and in either Thomas or Norman to really solidify the starting CB positions. Nickel is totally covered with Captain, DJ Moore, and whoever does make it into the starting rotation.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
