Who was the receiver we had that used to body catch almost exclusively if he wasnt dropping the ball his first season... was it Samuel? And he ended up buying a Juggs machine in the offseason. Iirc, by the time his contract was up here he ended up being one the most clutch receivers, if not the top, on 3rd downs. XL needs work but I've seen enough of his strong catches in college to be optimistic for potential. That said, WR is definitely on the list of needs. If you can contain Adam Thielen we're almost at checkmate. On paper ..next year AT, Coker and XL will not be enough IMO. Even if the rookies are improved next season we'd still need another reliable vet and a swing at WR in the draft.

Before DJ Moore, it's slim but I'd still have to go TE .. Ian Thomas has been our starter the last half decade. But then again, we had Shockey and Olsen at one point.

Not small but extreme differences in size, arm, personality, speed, ball placement. Never really thought about it but Bryce is the exact opposite of Cam lol. Cam pre injury was damn near breaking fingers when he threw. I'm almost sold on Bryce. Im just waiting on the one game this year that he throws atleast 3 TD's for my final confirmation...+ I wanna see how he reacts after an INT this time around.

Wtf Morgan!?! ..I get the trade but a 5th??? Even if we couldn't resign him this offseason we could have possibly got a 3rd off comp picks alone. I'm taking it as Dan's intending on breaking the bank in FA which would cancel it anyway. That said, we honestly might be garbage/incompetent in every facet as an organization.

I'd bet the entire stadium thought XL was trolling with his celebration lol

Candy Rain!!

Lmaoooooo First couple pages of this thread are GOLD

I mean ironically this might be history repeating itself in some form. Last season, after week two Reich and his offense/scheme faced a similar situation. Week 3 last year, Bryce magically showed up injured and on the bench out of nowhere iirc. Hell, I think most people thought he got benched that week, "in a nice way". Enter Dalton at QB The offense now sparks and all of a sudden we have a passing game again. So much so, we broke the franchise record for attempts that game. Our defense just could hold. I'd bet the outcome of Sunday's game is going to look similar. At his "worse", Dalton throws 4 picks while throwing over 250 yards. The only way that Bryce gets back on that field this year is if injury forced him to be. The tape is really that bad. The mechanics at times, footwork, ball placement, non existing field vision, etc. Some of the plays look so crazy, it's almost as if he was purposely doing it.

If Canales is actually a believer in the "QB whisperer" theory then I'd imagine he's already eyeing the prospect of re-inventing Dalton. Let Bryce bench himself and insert Dalton after week 4.

Canales with his damage control sideline interview lol

I damn sure would have waived David Moore before ISM...smh on that one.

I'd think we'd carry more like 6 CBs w/ injury concerns surrounding our best corner. Horn, Hill, Jackson, Jamison, Smith Wade and Bootle until Dane gets back.

I can only barely see it happening... to the Bills (Joe Brady again).

Suprise: 1. Raym will make the 53. I don't think he lasts on the PS. Since preseason game 1, its been fairly evident the entire offense got better when he came in. Which forced me to look up the rookie. Over 2k+ snaps at center in college and only gave away 25 hurries, 6 qb hits, and 6 sacks. He was projected everywhere from 3rd to 6th. 2. Anderson was also a nice suprise but numbers probably make him practice squad bound. 3. Zavala looks vastly different from last year. Suprise cut will be at TE imo. 4. Matthews Not Suprised: OLB is a problem. Not too worried with the D as Evero didn't call the plays and 75% of our starting dbs didn't play. We've been looking to replace Burns and Yetur. Clowney at 1a with Wonnum at 1b is close but I don't even think Wonnum has practiced yet. KLavon isn't exactly who I'd be wanting to count on opposite Clowney at the moment. DJ Johnson still feels a year or two away and Eku disappeared after flashing the first preseason game. Its a long season and we're probably an injury away from having to blitz every play to manufacture pressure.

3 times in the off season + 2 minimum in season ... smh that's wild.

I shouldn't be suprised as I basically watched the backups of the worst team in the league last year. Same as last year ..Defense won't be the problem. Oline, WRs and QB look shaky. I will say the playcalling looks much better. And if we catch the balls we repeatedly dropped the outlook isn't as bad. His saving grace is probably the fact all our WRs were ass last night. Mingo reverted back to his last year's mid season form.... the worse version. ISM dropped what could have been a a TD. Our best receiver was BY FAR the one that's currently a converted TE. If thats any indication, I hope we don't play in rain again. The only brightside in total is that we were without 20+ starters.

Get well soon Mr.Scot !!!!!!

Just based off his size he was probably took off a quarter of draftboards. I actually remember having to convince myself to accept the Bryce hype the last week of the draft. CJ was clearly #1 IMO. With AR having the highest ceiling. However, I thought Bryce had the highest floor at the time. If I had to guess....alot of FO's probably felt the same. It's a video on YouTube of all 3 of them in a QB All-Star game/camp before college. Ironically, it was a similar problem then with the MVP voting. IIRC they had to go back and re-vote on their peers without the personal bias and CJ ended up winning the vo.

Lol, I've seen this movie somewhere before.

Really think they've designed a few "jump balls plays" for Legette too. Bryce placing it catchable correctly is another story we'll have to watch unfold. He already has the athleticism but I also think he has the right mental to succeed(from what I've seen thus far). I wouldn't bet on him having Puka Nacua numbers/effect in year one though. Year 2-3 guy ....he needs time to develop. The same reason I'm not willing to give up on Mingo.

Training facilities and stadium upgrades are cool ....BUT... I'm just hoping we can address getting some grass back in the building. Asap!! (And not exclusively for the soccer team)

This.... + I'm almost certain Gilmore will be here. If he needs to learn how to be more physical off the line then keep Jaycee on em.

Yea I think we told Devante Adams that too

He might slip all the way to the fifth-UDFA. I think there's zero chance he lands here but the dude is talented regardless

We need a reliable pass catching TE... Tremble "could" be that with further development. We also need a RB with power...for short distance and goaline situations. We could get by with that we have if we had to but we could also certainly upgrade. I'm guessing the FO feels the same.
