I told you he was going to suck. Been saying it since the trade. You guys wouldn't listen. I'm smart you're wrong. I'm right you're dumb. (But I still hope he plays good for us...cause I'm a fan.)

I knew it! (I really didn't, but I really did want him to come back.)

1. Can the pass rush build on their 2020 momentum? Yes. Yes it will. 2. Are they really ready for more man defense? Yes. Yes we are. 3. What's the right combination at cornerback? Bouye to slot? Seems Djax should be there, but I know he wants to get paid. Bouye to slot should work. 4. Who takes Tre Boston's former spot? Burris had 53 tackles, 4 pass deflections and an interception in 13 games last year. His pff is 55 fwiw. Clinton-Dix had 65 tackles, and two ints in 2019. He was out last year. 74 pff fwiw XFL prospect Kenny Robinson was drafted in the 5th, waived, then signed PS, then signed to the active roster in late October. He saw the field in 9 games, mostly special teams, and has 1 assisted tackle. By far our weakest position on D. We may not be done looking here yet.

If you win 2nd fiddle at LT, it seems we'd want you benched more because we need you healthy. I'm sure there's some advanced calculus in this because the line always seems to be riddled with injuries, except in 2015.

I can see this too. I really think its a dogfight, with the coaching staff trying to decide the best way to groom the rookies and still keep a serviceable line.

That's my gut reaction. It would be a surprise if he stays imo. But I've been surprised before soo. I think Erving was always meant to swing. I honestly don't know how this is going to shake out. I don't think our line is as bad as pff said, and I'm not convinced its any worse than last year. Probably the same, and maybe better. It certainly seems a bit deeper.

I agree. I don't think Moore will be C or guard....just depth. I believe BC will win LT, hopefully day 1. I agree there. I also agree with not moving Moton. At guard, Miller, Scott, Eflein Erving, Brown, Moore can play it....and could do a serviceable job. I really have no idea.

I likey.

You're not wrong.

Ok, I'll bite. Looking at your line...its pretty bold. We might bring somebody in, people have said that. Moton might win LT...I know we've tried it before but maybe it will stick this time. Gross started at RT I think. I agree with the attitude that Erving and Eiflin are depth pieces. That's bold with 3 rookies in the middle though. ....an UDFA rookie at center...I just don't see that happening this season.

Absolutely LOVE it. Analysis with some SWAGGER.

You got it.

Yeah left tackle was a revolving door Scott started the Bucs2, Lions, Packers and WFT LIttle started Falcons2, Cardinals, Chargers Daley started Chiefs game but exited the game and LIttle finished. (We almost beat the Chiefs with Daley and LIttle at LT) Okung started 7 games I'm missing one. I think the competition at LT is going to make that position strong. Probably not as strong as it was when Okung was healthy, but stronger than it was when he wasn't.

At this point, I'm not sure anyone is certain what week 1 let alone week 4 oline looks like. There's even talk of moving Moton. We brought two in FAs and 3 rookies...mix in some mediocre vets, 1 solid who wants LT money, and you have a dogfight.

Yeah, Pitts is going to be a matchup nightmare for us. I can see them going to him on a lot of 3rd down, RZ and endzone situations. Horn has handled him before and shut him down when assigned, but they didn't assign him the whole game so Pitts took his pound of flesh anyway. Where will we assign Horn with Pitts on the field? Yep.

I don't know if this deserves its own thread or not.

Yeah it doesn't look good though. If we keep 3 TE's, which we did last year, he might make the roster. Rhule is about culture and I don't think trotting the penalty lap fits into that.

Yeah Al!

No. No it doesn't.

Just as on D, we have made significant changes at all phases. Because of the FA and large draft, I just don't ever remember so much potential change in the lineup in 1 year.

Really? All the glowing things about in Carolina....how he can be himself and just vibe and have fun, and then how Rhule "saved" his life? Maybe. I'm hopeful he stays. I just love the way that bear plays.

Hey thanks. I'm sure not everyone agrees

Scott went to Grambling too I think, so I think he gave us the heads up. And you're right it was a calculated risk that panned out. Man the senior bowl had a big impact on our player acquisition Taylor, Shi and Moore.
