Who would've thought that putting D'onta Foreman in sometimes would result in some rushing yards for an offense that wants to have a power run game?

Tae Hayes time bois

Derrick Brown doing a great job getting Brady down without inviting a flag

Holy poo, did the offense just score points?

Choo choo, Foreman coming thru

SPIDER BURNS

Damien Wilson must have been listening to Petey Pablo in the pregrame because he just spun that man like a helicopter

Ew, they ate up that cover 4. Woods was a solid signing. He's been in the mix every game and producing. Such a shame that the offense has been atrocious, because the defense can play.

Burns and Shaq blew that play UP

Big Derrick Brown still putting in the effort running that screen down from behind

Poor PJ is gonna lose his voice on these hard counts. If his voice cracks, I'm gonna lose my poo

Every time Chuba gets the ball I'm preparing myself for the incoming drop/fumble

1st 2nd 2nd 3rd 4th 4th 5th 6th Assuming Baker doesn't get 70% of the snaps. If he does, swap a 4th for a 5th

Fitterer gathering draft picks for the next head coach since we only had a 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th. This will now give them a 1st (likely #1 overall), 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 4th, and 5th. So instead of walking into a team with nothing, that head coach is going to have a defense that includes Brown, Burns (hopefully), Chinn, Horn, Luvu, Woods, and Jackson as well as a decent special teams unit. They're going to have an OL that they can build behind, a 3rd round pick in Corral who some had 1st round grades on. They've got DJ Moore on a fair contract for the team and the player. Instead of getting the usual 1st - 7th round selections, they lose a 6th + 7th but gain a 2nd + 4th while also having the #1 overall pick to do what they want with (whether it be QB, DE, or trade down)? Tepper's shown to be patient. Get the right people in the room to make the decision, and the Carolina HC position could become a little more attractive This poo still is fuging gutting tho T_T

DC/Maryland/Virginia

Keep that energy for Unk, Robbie.

Been one of the biggest Shaq supporters (and general optimists) on the board and even I can see the writing on the wall. Outside of another restructure for what will be a 29yr old LB next season, I don't see them keeping Shaq. I hope I'm wrong, but we also have Brandon Smith that I thought was brought in as a replacement. Whether or not he gets a chance to play and shows that he can fill those cleats though we will have to wait and see.

Brandon Smith and Terrace Marshall Jr developing would be a big, big boost for this team's future

Considering that Zac Taylor was the first of the "McVays" to get signed in 2019 and he got the Bengals to the Super Bowl last year, I'd say they're paying off.

To be fair, McVay just won the Super Bowl after being hired in 2017. That'd be a more appropriate question after this year though.

Agreed on all points made about the prospects with the exception of Hooker. He's made some impressive throws in the couple of games I've watched so far. I'm excited to check out the TCU game as well. When I saw Max Duggan's stat line a few weeks ago, I got curious and checked out the TCU vs. Oklahoma game. That dude is fun to watch. I've got to catch him vs. Kansas + Oklahoma State still.

Stroud by far. Bryce Young is fun to watch in college, but I have doubts about his ability to transition to the pros due to his size. I do love how he goes through his progressions and looks to extend the play to complete the pass downfield rather than scramble for a couple. Sick as a dog today and was out of town on Saturday, so I'm trying to get through the Bama/Tenn game while waiting for the soup to finish heating up. I know folks don't like Hooker because he'll be 25 when he's drafted, but I'm going to have concerns if he looks like the clearly better QB in that game.

I think it's safe to say that Ron shouldn't be allowed near any team that wants to compete in today's NFL, especially if they have a young QB to develop. Having a head coach that cosigns head shots against you while demanding that you execute an offense with zero adjustments does not sound like a fun time.

Onward to the #1 pick!
