Bieniemy is putting way too much weight on the passing game. Their OL is terrible at pass protection and they have a solid running game when he's actually letting them run the ball. But he's treating Howell, a 2nd year pro and 1st year starter, like he's mid-career Patrick Mahomes. I'm as high on Howell as it gets but there's too much weight on him right now. The guy is tougher than a $2 steak and the hits don't impact him mentally and he'll still stand in there and make the throws while staring down the barrel but you see his accuracy drop off over the course of the game. It doesn't matter how tough you are mentally and physically, the hits eventually eventually start having an impact and he's getting hit like very few QBs have ever gotten hit and his OC isn't helping him out of the OL out. They need to be running the ball. But losing their two pass rushers is going to put them even more behind the eight ball in the scoreboard and likely lead to even more pass happiness as their D gets scorched.

I do think it's telling that it was two young defensive pieces that were graded and no one from the offense was moved. I think they're shifting to a build around Howell mindset. The guy is 6th in the league in passing yardage and TDs despite their OL being a giant sack of poo and no real running game to speak of (largely because Bieniemy oftentimes forgets he can run the ball mid-game). It's pretty wild how much a former RB hates running the ball.

Meh, people talk poo on the field all the time. It's nothing.

Well, when the brass and telling everyone that will listen how were ready to compete and win the division then you probably end up last in the division I'm left thinking that maybe these people don't know what they're doing.

TMJ just looks like a flat out bust y'all. There's a good chance we got offered literally nothing.

Yeah, that's more like it.

These other teams watch the games too. Would you wanna trade a 4th or 5th for TMJ?

Wouldn't have minded trading a 6th for that starting OG but I'm glad we weren't sellers because the sellers were getting FLEECED today.

It was hard to watch Burrow earlier this year. He was very obviously not even close to being right. He really should've started the season on PUP if not on IR designated to return. I'm glad it didn't backfire and get him seriously injured.

A lot of people assumed it when the hire was made. Kinda like Rhule hiring two former NFL HCs when everyone knew he was on the hot seat.

I don't think anyone on offense is available.

I wouldn't be surprised if Washington's new plan is to build around Howell because if it's not you should've moved him today because you clearly just threw the towel in on the season.

Oh wow.

Yeah, I meant just this season.

I'd be shocked if they didn't at least call and try.

The Niners should've tried to get Howell.

The sellers are getting fleeced. We just need to hold what we've got.

The guy is good. He isn't what he once was but he's a smart, great route runner, with great hands. Moving him to the slot has given him new life. He doesn't have the speed to win on the outside against starting corners anymore but slide him inside against nickels, safeties, and LBs and he can still eat.

*reins Gotta love autocorrect

Cool. I missed that change.

They need OL on offense above all else.

I didn't think comp picks could be traded?

For sure. They need to just hand the reins over to Bieniemy and give him a test drive.

If he does he should be trading Howell.

If they weren't THE best they were among the best. 11.5 sacks between them.
