I don't know, hangman is not as bad as advertised on the huddle.. I think Bell is going to improve this year. He truly was a player that needed developing and can be a good success story.

So I'll pass on o-line and go with Rhodes at safety. As I love the potential of both Josh's at corner.

I want Hangman gone...so OG.

he's good as a backup because he's versatile. he's good in rotation. he's much better when he's not beside a rookie and/or playing center.

 

he's just not a starter, at least long term.

 

my hope is that kugbila is ready quickly.

 

i'd rather go with an upgrade at RT and keep the hangman/kugbila rotation until kugzilla is ready to go full time (which hopefully won't take long) than bring in another RG.

Id still feel more comfortable with someone else starting for Kugzilla for a lil while and I'd rather that someone be an upgrade over Hangman. B. Moore would be great, but I think we stand pat tho.

OG. Hangman sucks and Kugzilla seems more as a project, in that he probably won't start week 1. 

 

Of the FA's in the pool, I'd LOVE Woodson. Brandon Moore would be amazing as well.

OG.

Somebody needs to talk me off the UDFA Lester as a potential starter bandwagon.

Had a maybe above average junior year playing along side Milliner, Kirkpatrick, and Barron.

Had a pretty abysmal senior year when two of those guys left, capped it off with an atrocious senior bowl week, and just as icing, a poor combine showing.

I want him to be as advertised, but don't find it likely. In fact I'll make a prediction right now that White makes the roster over him. Which is a shame, because I got his autograph during senior bowl week.

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
