Iceup

I’ve been other stuff most Sundays since halfway thru last season. I often have to drive to return our nieces who stay with us most weekends to their mom or take them to visit their dad. I would listen to the game on the radio but had to stop cause I was setting a bad language example for them.

If a capable staff is brought in and allowed to work I’d think they’d try trade away our best players to get picks and get even younger. It’ll be hard to rebuild without absolutely nailing FA which is tuff to do when you have to overpay to get average to slightly below average players to come here. Our draft capital is gone and the few good young players we have will be needing contracts soon. Bad Situation to be in for anyone coming in. In a world where we have options I’d like to keep Brown, Luvu, and Franklin- Maybe Jaycee and Motion too. That’s about it.

He played T at BYU I think. We had him rated as a round 2 G and Round 3 T. Some of Fits crap I think. His arms were too small/sort to play Tackle was a comment I remember. IMO he’s a guy who needs help at either spot. Good Kid- Pretty good technique-Good feet- but not as powerful as others. He did improve as he got more reps at G- So maybe he good progress with reps at T too- but I’m not sure if that’s something I want to bet on.

IMO Burns is a good player. He is bigger than when he first came into the league, and he’s been relatively durable since he came into the league. I do not think he’s elite tho. Very good maybe- but not top 5, probably just outside the top 10. He hasn’t shown up in big situations especially this year. I think we should get him paid but not Charles Johnson money. More like Mario Addison money. Maybe a bit more. I just hope we get something for him if he’s not willing to sign for a reasonable amount.

He also stands with both feet parallel to the LOS a lot. Not really ready to throw because his feet aren’t set so he has twist and take an extra step before being really ready to throw. I noticed this earlier in the year when my assistant coach (a former NCAA QB) was helping my 7th grade backup QB get ready to play his first game after our starter was hurt. The kid had the same issue. Come to think of it him and Bryce could be twins- they’re bout the same size.

Kinda for him- he had on bad drop that I remember, but he also should have had a TD on another play but had to wait and comeback for a lame duck pass

Does anyone know how much it would cost to tag him. I know it won’t be cheap-something like an average of the top 5 player at the position?

Tempers Leaving

…IN THE SAME GAME!!

I just tuned in- been driving all day and notice we have scored 2 TDS. WTF?

Does anyone think Dan Morgan gets consideration? I’m conflicted about him because he seems tarnished by the current regime.

He can be kinda squirmy and knows how to get skinny (comes easy for him) to elude pressure here and there, but he’s not beating anyone to the edge. He’s small and slow- it seems.

Maybe, he was probably the best available in any case.

Most of the people I know were for Richardson or Stroud early on. It seemed Bryce picked up a lot of steam after Alabama’s Proday. Like all the Mocks in the Media seemed to switch to him as an almost consensus #1. I couldn’t really understand it. I always favored Stroud- but I knew it would be Bryce after we traded to #1. I like appreciate Bryce’s effort and hope he can grow into a decent player for us- Im skeptical about him ever living up to what we expect of a player we took so high and gave up so much to get though.

Did anyone start a post with a poll predraft about who they’d pick after we traded for the #1 overall pick? If so I wonder how huddlers in this forum chose? Was it like 90% Stroud? Or was it tilted towards Bryce or Richardson? Anyone know or remember? I wasn’t posting back then, but it seems like a thread that someone would have created.

IMO it’s easier to gage the coaches ability when the team lacks talent. That’s when a coach really has to put things in place to figure out how to make an offense or defense work.

Tepper after the game;

If the stars align and too many Cowboys starters get food poisoning at waffle house - maybe we squeak out a 6-3 win tomorrow!

Every year seems like another Sh—y sequel from Dave.

Another Huddler pointed out that in the past Icky was assisted with TE’s adding a chip. IMO that’s one thing that we could use more of especially in this new system. Adjustments like Sliding a TE over or a RB not only help Icky but the rest of team really. It’s called coaching. Icky has seemed to okay better the last two games so it’s not something that’s a constant need but it is something that should be implemented when he (or Motion) is struggling.

Agreed but it might make us better so Mr. In on every deal- should at least kick the tires.

I’d give him a shot. He’s young with some actual potential. He should be on a roster, why not ours.

When you draft a guy #1 overall he should be really special in some way. Bryce is not athletically gifted, hell he’s below average really. So he must have some amazing intangibles- like his unmeasurable qualities must really be so intangible we can’t see them…at all…I guess

Presnap motion is so helpful to an office and a QB. That, along with changing formations and grouping, IMO should be a really part of our scheme. It helps with misdirection, disguises, and getting blockers, receivers, and runners a big edge at getting off the ball. A highly cerebral QB should be deadly is a scheme that utilizes these practices. It’s weird the staff doesn’t do more to help the offense get an advantage.
