  1. This all sounds great in hindsight, but before the season started people thought Bryce was in the best place for early success. One of those main reasons was our OL. Our OL was looking solid in that power running system Wilks was using. We botched it and we failed at giving him any weapons that year...
  2. It's his last year of his contract and I'm sure he is wanting an extension. Considering he is making $16 million this year, I'd say his extension will be pricey for a guy turning 33 this year. They just tagged Trey Smith and you know Mahomes is eating up a chunk of cap space with a 66 million dollar cap hit. Not to mention they also need help with their tackles as their OL go manhandled in the Super Bowl.
  3. I feel like waaaay too many teams have bad OLs for it to be as easy as some people think. I get being down on our team as we have been bad for a while, but I think our OL investment was needed and might have actually paid off. Hopefully you will see them invest in defense this offseason since our offense appeared to develop some stability the last half of the season. We tried to have a decent OL with rookie Bryce (top 10 pick in Icky, Moton got paid, Bozeman was a vet we signed and looked good the year prior, BC is a solid OG but went on IR game 1). It was a scheme change with poor implementation IMO plus some injuries. Players like Zavala, Mays, and Icky instantly looked better in our new scheme for a reason...
  4. I think it's more about protecting their investment. We invested a lot in our QB and we had to pump money in the OL to help develop him. Bears are just doing the same with their top pick. Our poorly managed cap from previous years is a main reason why our defense was so terrible. We had a lot of issues with limited resources to fix them. We went all in on the OL to try to repair the recent QB investment, clearly at the expense of our defense but I think our staff knew this. It's why Evero is still here.
  5. To be clear I’m not against drafting a TE. I just prefer not to draft one with a very similar skillset as the one we already have, but again I won’t be upset if we do.
  6. Yeah I’d prefer to work on our 1000 other needs, but I’m not too passionate one way or another.
  7. I kind of like Tremble out of the backfield as a FB type role. You are right thought we never really developed him.
  8. Seems a little redundant with JT Sanders here. It would be ideal to have a TE that is a skilled blocker to pair with him IMO.
  9. https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/gamelog/_/id/4685472/tetairoa-mcmillan Anyone is welcome to look up his per game stats. It was a weak schedule and teams like Utah and Colorado shut him down. He went 7 straight games without a score. I’m just saying he isn’t quite on the same level Evans was coming out. That’s not really an insult.
  10. Check out the game by game breakdowns this past year for TMac. He feasted on bad competition like UNM with 304 yards and 4 TDs then went 7 straight games without a TD. He broke 100 receiving yards in 5 of the 12 games he played. The only concern I have is him disappearing in some games. One report is he was playing hurt and I know his QB play was pretty bad. He just isn't as strong of a prospect as Evans was IMO. That doesn't mean he won't be great in the NFL.
  11. So after Richards and Williams we are back to having no center?
  12. In our 3-4 I think it’s Wallace and Jewell. If we get Shaq back on a cheap deal then I’m sure he is part of the equation as well.
  13. I remember laughing at Washington last year for getting “stuck” with Quinn. They have the last laugh now. Always good to wait and see with coaching hires.
  14. Nate Carroll was our Passing Game Coordinator.
  15. Most defenses are hybrids anymore being ran out of nickel the most honestly. Players like Clowney and Wonnum can line up as DEs or OLB. The NT is important but so is the run stuffing DT in the 4-3. If Star when down for us back in our 4-3 days we would feel it badly as well. Honestly Star helped keep Luke free as well and let him truly dominate. He was crucial to our defense.
  16. Yeah McLaurin is on a different level than AT. McLaurin has broken 1000 yards 5 years in a row and only didn’t his rookie year where he broke 900 so 5/6 of his years he broke 1000. I think AT broke 1000 3 out of 11 years… One is younger and just plain better. Not trying to take from Daniels though. He is a rookie phenom with loads of talent.
  17. Is Quinn the reason they put up 45 on the Lions? Is Quinn the reason they have a rookie phenom QB? Seems similar to the Falcons where the Niners took Shanny and Quinn quickly started looking like Rivera. Also I’m pretty sure we were asked to stop bumping these old threads…
  18. Yeah his rating isn’t much better. It’s also not that simple. It depends on when the passes were made and who was designed to pick up the coverage. PFF doesn’t seem to have a way of deciphering it (which would be really hard to do.)
  19. Honestly bad safety play is to blame IMO. We had safeties reacting too slowly or missing their assignments in which Horn was chasing after their guy.
  20. Hell he had over 900 yards his rookie year. That’s before they had Chase and Burrow only played like half the year..
  21. Shy Tuttle is a depth/rotational DE IMO. He has no business being our NT and probably should be relieving DB and Robinson but his contract doesn’t match that role…
  22. Eh it’s a pointless conversation because it can never happen….
  23. Those are equally annoying. Stroud seems to be a genuinely good person, is best friends with our QB, and has earned everything he has. Inspiring person and one of the better young QBs in the league. People wanting him to fail are wanting to justify our pick. It’s better and easier to move on from that.
