Very excited for Taylor. He looked like a steal. Had some rookie moments but the good and flashes of potential far outweighed the bad. From a CB producing program as well.

Athletic Football Podcast is the best thing going for talking the game, rosters, projections, the stats. PMT is digestible at times for humor, can only do clips here and there of Pat. Unconsciously stopped listening to Simmons and Russilo the past year.

He's not one of the mega-wealthy outlandish bozos or anything but he's just made a lot of ill-timed, ill-fated, or just poor decisions and it's wearing thin on the city and fans. I don't think he needed an entire search committee but bringing in an NFL-experienced exec on contract for demoing and building the team he was prepared to dismantle post-Ron would have been ideal. A strategic blow-up is just as important as the build, and I feel he's just moving forward with the biggest splash possible. Rhule as the hot college name, Stafford as the big trade candidate, same with Deshaun. Anc I'm sure it's why he liked Scott's "In on every deal" approach because of his big splash wishes. Not too late to right the ship, I think Morgan and Scott seem capable and would be able to find a HC that could work for their vision. That may be the next step in what seems to be a winging-it build. Even if it was a yes man, having some sort of extra NFL guru at an exec level would be beneficial for him navigating his decision making from a high-level perspective. I do think the roster build has calmed down and is on a good trajectory but it's after we had to make poor decisions at HC who basically ran it all himself for 1.5 years. Just get a good team together and save the swooping changes until we are. Minus maybe a uniform modernization.

It's good particularly for rollover which I have not seen mentioned. And also the fact that Burns is the only one needing a substantial pay day (The entire 2019 draft was a bust minus Burns ). Those looking at 2023-24 need to check back to see where 2022 stood at this point in 2021. We're easily going to rollover $20 mil+ and restructure a few contracts. That alone gets us back to the green before any moves, releases, etc. Cap is very fluid, which is why I've chosen to not really get too opinionated on the space available at a given time.

Rhule is at the point where he simply needs to win. Doesn't matter what he says. He knows it, the staff knows it, management knows it, we all know it. So, at this point, might as well see how favorable we can make him in the event this staff that's been brought together starts winning games. He's shown a bit of anxiousness in his pressers that seems to tell me he's gotten a few chats behind the scene and his confidence has been brought down some pegs. The last 2 years don't show well and have honestly felt like 5 years with him. But who knows, maybe he's gotten a dose of reality this offseason (and anger from the top), now with NFL level guys around him, maybe he's learning a bit. It mostly hinges on having an offense that doesn't turn to Clausen-level when CMC misses time. Problem is, we still are in the QB experiment phase. The big question is--does this new experienced staff coach up the units enough to give some decent hope with Corral at the helm? Or does it all fall apart once the NFL reads what we've put out there this year? They're finding out more about Corral this summer. We'll know A LOT as camps progress and how confident they are to try him when preseason rolls around. If they're holding back in preseason, then we should have some pause (i.e. Love in GB). If he's getting bulk playing time like Huntley & Mills did (but not the last week, that should be QB3/PS guys), then we should be ready to see what we're packing sooner than later.

I think RPO had its benefits and I don’t get why it’s a dog when so many NFL offenses have incorporated its concepts into the modern schemes. I’m a bit high on the koolaid right now but it’s also because there’s a food chance Corral can be put in a good position to succeed. Not so much in thinking he’s some rockstar but he could have the tools that fit the guys we have.

Rhule knows him and well so he basically has a handicap to make it to the final cut/possibly the 53 lol

Well 3 starters listed, SEA and HOU won’t have another. So wonder, is it Corral, Willis, or maybe another backup that’s getting the extra slot left?

Too many ifs to feel comfortable. DL seems iffy, LB crew aren’t sound enough once guys get to the second level. TE room is unproven. WR is very iffy after DJ. RB situation is expected to be like the past 3 years with CMC in and out. Over relief on, not as high as others on Foreman or Hubbard. OL is much improved and the secondary is set. That’s about it.

what in the Patrick Duffy

Per the past 3ish years, that's every home game my man haha.

Thanks mascot account. As the OP, I hope more is reflected in the games. It's not some made up drama. But this is great that it's part of the org's outreach. Won't discount the continuation and importance that it is to good causes.

Reid Sinnett or Chris Streveler could be the types to target. Just take a shot at randos at this point.

We had two R2 trade downs, missed two promising IOLs and 2 OTs. Cosmi graded out super well before his year was cut short. Radunz, Carman, Eichenberg. Eich had a slow start but all played and are on good trajectories. Overall, I liked our strategy but Marshall needs to perform.

I wouldn't say excited, but TMJ better be able to make an impact this year. I don't care who's spraying the ball, if he's still inactive for gameday to start the first few weeks, it's likely in bust territory for him. I really hope he can become something considering the trading down and everyone we passed on to wind up with him as our second pick.

Marshall, Hubbard, Brown, Shi, & Nixon are the ones that have a lot to prove IMO. Fletcher is pretty much the first confirmed bust. I'd love to see Marshall pan out/would hate to have drafted the one bust from the greatest college offense in history. Hoskins was actually quite good and the best surprise on the DL last season. Overall, Horn, Christensen, Tremble, & Hoskins seems promising. I'm not getting any hopes up for the rest, would love to be surprised by any of them this year though. Hope they prove their 2021 experience wrong. Horn is the only legitimate starter that will have substantial playing time. Christensen likely, hopeful for Tremble.

Hubbard passed the eye test a few times but had a really slow start, regardless of line performance. Mix of vision and pickup speed when he had an opening were lacking. You'd like to see rookie RBs be a bit more ready these days given success around the league. SF isn't afraid to admit Sermon isn't quite kicking it, luckily had Mitchell go ham. We just gotta keep testing out RBs. Haven't had one stick in a minute.

I like what we have in the secondary. Would rather focus on a DL add to get the pressure as we have the length and speed. Depth guys have high upside, others are in make-or-break years. And this is a developmental year coming up where I hope to see some improvement in our newer core. S: Chinn, Woods, Burris, Franklin, K Robinson, Hartsfield, Chandler Set in place starters with solid depth. Burris isn't a top-notch starter but fine as relief/depth piece. The rest are young and hungry (and got regular season experience last season) CB: Horn, Jackson, Henderson, Taylor, Pride, STO/Barnes/Melvin Adding a veteran takes away Henderson and Taylor's playing time. And Pride is coming back from injury. He was a higher pick than Taylor, STO and Barnes and this year will be big for his development. The dude is lightning quick and has length. Thomas-Oliver is the only one I feel looked bad but he's a 7th rounder. Horn was the top defensive player taken in his draft, Jackson's got a nice new contract, and we used our 22' 3rd on Henderson. 21' 5th on Taylor. 20' 4th on Pride. That's a good amount of investment. It's a young, athletic, incredibly fast and long group. Don't really know what Bradberry would do for us.

I’m still blindly on the Tremble train. That kid got a 30 yard pass, 2 pt conversion and touchdown his first 3 nfl touches. He’s a beast blocker and honestly better than where Kittle was at catching wise coming out.

Here’s a self-promoting bs link. Ekwonu and a Round 3 trade up was my optimal scenario and it happened. I am usually a bit wrong on our front so I got this going for me.

Inference is NFL hence the draft comparison. He is not yet in the NFL CPdwellerofcaves

That just sounds dangerous for fans

Well that pretty much settles it boys. We’ve got ourselves a goat

Icky/Corral. Watson gave Rhule the clearest path to disguise his deficiencies rather than skipping town/getting fired or improving. His foot is still against the fire, we got a young QB to give a go, and a franchise LT.

yeeeep
