To have a chance at a 2nd round pick we would have to trade back, as the 2022 2nd is the current starting QB on our team. So I FULLY expect us to trade down a time or two in the 2022 draft in an attempt to replace the 2nd we traded. I wouldn't call that cute, I'd call it the smart thing to do.

Running behind Miller and Moton has been fine, I don't even recall Miller's name being brought up, it's the LG position that was PITIFUL. Almost every run off the LG was stuffed, I'd like to see Brown there, stop the ''versatility'' talk and put in a road grader at that spot.

Or maybe handling teams worse, or worse off is a sign of a solid team. Win the games you're SUPPOSED TO WIN. Under Rivera we often played down to the competition and lost as a result.

This, his value NOW is as a spell back, and gaining experience, he has the ability. No reason to be worried about his stats.

Good damn poo

Have you ever watched the Saints offense, this is a variant of that. Force them to respect the short to intermediate, and when they creep up dial up the shot down field. The 2nd quarter is a perfect culmination of that, DJ had two catches 20+, and then there was Robbie's 57 yard TD. If you pay attention our OL was not going to hold up LONG ENOUGH to take shots all game, what's important is that the shots we did take weren't grossly underthrown. Sam overall looked very good, and his release is much quicker having a chance to watch him. He made those throws under duress as well. It was good to see a QB stand tall, there was not a lot of that with T2G.

Snap counts had him in on about 89% of the total snaps, that's roughly a 9 - 10% decrease from the Rivera days where he hovered around 97 - 99% of the snaps. I do believe the goal was to lower his snaps, while maximizing his usage when on the field. I think I saw a quote from Rhule earlier that said two things: 1) Chuba missed a blitz pick-up during the game, and that the rookies can't afford to play like rookies 2) They need to get Royce Freeman up to speed A good example is BAL last night, as decimated as they were, and with Bell and Freeman being there roughly a week, they still were not dressed. You can't put guys on the field that either aren't ready, or up to speed, Chuba and Freeman should be a bigger part of things as the season moves forward.

He would've had the INT or PBU f Shaq hadn't gotten that pick.

Deeeeeeep cut....

What are you talking about, I posted to give the tweet context with the PLAYER'S ACTUAL commentary. Anyone that follows knows he had balls hit the dirt in pre-season.

Always good to have FULL context. Seeing a lot of this lately, taking the ''buzz'' words for click bait.

It's the Huddle, it's what happens here, hyperbole, and exaggeration... I wanted Curtis over Robbie due to the age gap between the two players, but I am also fine with how things played out, TMJ and Shi Smith look promising, along with Chuba. While I don't agree with passing on Fields, overall they did a nice job outfitting this offense with talent. Robby was a FA signing last year, and TMJ, Smith, and Chuba were added via the draft. Factor in Arnold, and Tremble as well, and we're in a situation much better and deep offensively than last year.

It's the tweets that are missed from the beat reporters.

This a real question?

You're making my point, those Patriot OLs were not world beaters as a unit, a lot of the talk was the scheme got the ball out on target, and on time. Darnold should be an upgrade ''talent'' wise over TB, and the offense as a whole is better. I mean really think about this aside from when Okung played, it was Little, and then Scott at LT, and the LG was UDFA in Chris Reed, Schofield and Daley who was hurt. Even though people are giving Erving a hard time, he is better than Little & Scott, and Elflien is better than Reed, and Schofield. Daley is a bit of a question mark as he looked serviceable at LT in 2019, but was hurt to much of 2020 to form an additional opinion. Now there was no depth on that 2020 line, now add in Christensen, and Brown two young promising guys. We are in better shape than last year, not great shape but better shape, if we were for the sake of aruement a 5/10 on the OL last year, one could make a case for 6/10 based on the projected starters, and 6.5/10 with the depth. That is a positive step, looking at the draft overall, we look to have landed some high quality guys in -- Horn / TMJ / Chuba / Tremble -- if that means we have Erving and Elflein this year, ok, as now we have more flexibility moving forward as other parts of the roster are more complete. Which means we can pay more attention to OL, not to mention the cap space we'll have available, to extend, and target a priority FA or 2.

A lot of this was said about the OL last year, and they were still middle of the pack. Having CMC, and the ability to run should alleviate some of the pressure on the offensive line. I know people are frustrated but we are not the only team dealing with starting OL issues. KC was able to turn it around 1) due to trading a 1st, and 2) they are a SB ring waiting to happen so they will get the top FA's that are available if they are able to pay them. Almost all of the best OL's are full of older guys -- DAL / PHI -- last year PIT. TB hit on Whirfs, so in our case and many other teams would you rather reach at OL, or take a talent like TMJ at the bottom of Rd2. We added two young promising OL in Christensen / Brown, let them continue to develop, I have little doubt our OL will look much different by the mid way point. Whether it's on field play or guys missing time inevitably. At the very least we seem to have a direction that we're going in.

Thanks for this.

I know we had about 12 or 13 PS guys on the PS, with the release of Cannon to make room for Royce on the ''active'' roster I saw a lot of concern about KR / PR. I'm not as familiar with the ''Covid'' PS rule changes, but do you think we add him back via the PS. I saw a post that someone made the other day that referenced PS guys can get called up for gameday and used; C.J. Saunders was referenced for return duties in that post. Would this also not apply to Cannon? A calculated risk in regard to releasing him with the thought he is likely to clear waivers and can return on the PS. I also know there are new rules that allow you to ''protect'' certain PS guys as well, I think up to 8 or 10 maybe. I'm just wondering if this is more of a case of a competent front office using all the tools at their disposal for roster management versus some of the ineptitude, or lack of creativity we saw before. To see a back up LS on IR is well, new to me

Thats why you take him in the 6th when he's there. Minimal investment. That provides more value than a LS. Everytime.

Jordan???

You can definitely make a move, and still have a considerable amount of cap to carry over. Nothing wrong with exploring opportunities to get better. They should do so.

Could've been 11 - KC Chiefs rookie Guard Trey Smith was RIGHT THERE -- Not taking him & Fields were my two disappointments this draft. Holding out hope Sam is salvageable.

Pie for spider net. That is the post.
