remember when this worse team kept up with the defending super bowl champs when their second best player was healthy last year pepridge farm remembers.

I'm not sure what you guys expected. We're a young rebuilding team. The entire reason we practice against these two well coached, playoff teams is to improve in a lighter pressure situation and make mistakes in said situations, and learn how to play and practice like successful teams And now you guys are mad that we're doing exactly that. O k a y. I'm not sure what 20 or so preseason snaps against backups will prove besides letting you guys find something to get mad about. This forum is just one big bitching circle jerk.

Your point would hold a lot more water if you didn't intentionally twist what he said js.

y'all are a hoot

I promise you nothing worth gleening would show up from the starters the first two drives from the starters, with a lot more to lose. but hey why would we want to see any of our backups and bubble players get snaps haha

some of these takes are comedy gold anyway who cares big nothing burger teams across the league are doing this more and more. Players were elated to not have pre season last year. When we get game 18 we'll lose another one. The only players who care a fringe/bubble players who I do feel for because it's their only chance to show the other 31 clubs they might have a lil something.

because they're better at talent evaluation than you but tbh not saying much

Just an early gut feeling but I wouldn't be surprised to see Dontes snaps go down after week 2. I hope that's not the case. I really want him to pull it together

Super low. Throws a lot of bullets too. Hopefully he adds a bit more touch.

Exactly. He was the highest paid CB at the time. Don't get me wrong he's great, and I'd love to have him. I get his complaints but that's the nature of the game -- there will always be a new highest paid.

Bro loves the slot. The way he tets animated when he talks about playing Slot TMJ is an outside guy. Let's Robby rock the slot more.

Ok

At the very worst I see him being as bad as Roman Harper at his best for us. Wouldn't hate it.

Pride is at worst solid depth. He had no business being in some of the matchups he was as often as he was last season and he still looked okay as a late round pick. Depth guy/STer with potential to grow isn't a bad thing.

To be fair, the HBs and TEs and usage of Slot WRs, and the schemes used to expose these mismatches, in today's NFL is way different than what Shaq has to cover on a regular basis. Like 8 years ago we'd love Shaq unanimously here.

That's not good for a linebacker. Targeting mismatches against LBs is becoming the trend more and more - it's why Chinn was basically a LB for us last year because we already had two liabilities in Shaq and DEFINITELY in Whitehead -- and Shaq is Just Solid enough against the run and tackling that it's acceptable. He's Eric Reid 2.0. He still tries to react to pass plays right when they happen instead of identifying the route concepts he's going against.

Yes Adam Gase was bad. We don't need to reassure ourselves on that. He sucked and rode the coattails of Manning. This is on us as an org and Sam now. He's in a better situation. He doesn't need to be a world beater this year, just show progress.

It's Charlie and he doesn't just toss poo and let it stick. He's usually good with his sources. Shame he's stuck on Walterfootball tho

With D.J. due for a contract and us having TMJ to develop there's very little reason to believe we're gonna pay for a role guy nearing 30 who will probably want to get paid. That said I'm not crazy about trading him. Let him walk get a comp.

To be fair I don't think we had a DB on our roster that coulda saved us that savage asswhopping outside of Josh. And love Josh to death but he has never been a shadow the best WR for 60 minutes husband that showed QUICKLY in Washington But I mean that can also open up a discussion about how Ron. Just did not value the secondary even an iota when he was here.

I have been watching in agony for the past decade as they constantly draft mid to late round WR and never miss a beat. Same can't be said for their secondary tho lmao.

Holy poo this is a quality post for the Huddle A fugin + my man

Oh boy an early season TNF game for a young team my favorite!

Do you believe any of this or are you ao desperate for human interaction you'll make the most bait posts out there? Serious question here.

It could've been the Steelers picking at 60 and if they heard Marshall was likely the next pick then they would've likely still taken him at 59. It's not so much who's after us but rather who was going to be taken. "Marshall was quickly becoming one of those guys whose name was beginning to stick out on the board, with not much space above him, but a lot of space below at his position. He was becoming a value guy"
