According to captain, it's him and Josh Thomas starting

If he's right it's a mistake from my vantage point.

Really wanna see both Josh's starting.

In other news Wharton line up at LT and Wharton at LG per person no word on the right side yet.

But Person did say Amini only did individual drills today..

Also person said Mitchell feels like he's still the starter at SS and was just getting a rest today

Mikell says this is a different D than McDermott ran in Philly

I don't think we'll have much in the way of "starters" in the secondary, as much depth as been brought in I've always felt we'd be doing more of a rotation like we did at the end of last season.

if we have to suffer through another 11 games with a terrible player starting at safety because he was a ron rivera offseason favorite with a better option sitting on the bench ill be pissed.

 

 

Mikell should be gearing up for as many snaps as possible this weekend.

@josephperson: Rivera: Mitchell has a calf strain. That and Nakamura concussion played into decision to sign Mikell.

@jjones9: Tolbert: I feel confident they're going to give me the green light (to play Week 1, hamstring)

@jjones9: Kenjon Barner is hopeful to play Week 1, though not overly optimistic. Said it's in the hands of the trainers

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
