Davidson Deac II

No guarantees of that. Believe it or not, there are some pretty bad teams out there. But we will likely have at a minimum, a top five pick.

If the object is to win a Super Bowl, getting the number one overall pick is irrelevant. If memory serves, the last overall #1 pick to win a SB is Matt Stafford, and he didn't win it on the team that picked him. Joe Burrow and Cam Newton did come close though.

He still might have some trade value. Playing him now will destroy it. As far as the number one pick, so what?

The sad thing is Jake and company were going thru the list of people out due to injury, and the only ones I knew were Shaq and Clowney.

Well, with a bad team with zero points against a so so defense, probably figured they might as well.

This is one boring game.

Which is true with most coaches at the NFL or college level. Dam, just realized this is a 2 year old post.

I was listening to Jake D and the radio host talk about it. Jake and company said a big problem is communication and misunderstanding assignments, in large part due to so many new guys. If true, there is at least some hope things will improve. The lack of a Pass rush is probably just a lack of guys who are good at rushing the passer.

If someone offers a draft pick fifth round or better and we can clear decent cap space next year or the year after imo would be a serious offer. The only thing I have seen regarding his availability or lack thereof is rumor and innuendo. IMO, If some team says here is a first, he is likely gone. But if someone says, here is a 7th and you guys pay most of next year's salary, then the front office will laugh at them. A real offer is somewhere in between.

My son and I are going to the Aints game in Nov, and I will have fun, regardless of whether we win or lose.

We have proven we can look decent against teams with defenses nearly as bad as ours.

I haven't seen any real news reporting a serious offer.

I think he will have to go. I think he will want to go. There will probably be some pressure to remove him and He probably feels he got screwed in the offseason, so imo there is little doubt he will be elsewhere next year.

When? I don't remember us EVER having less. Outside of Horn, Woods, and Jackson, I am not sure any of these guys would start on many other NFL teams

Maybe Eviro is overrated. But I doubt the greatest coordinator in the NFL could do much with what we have

Well, at least we kept it close for a while. Our defense is not good, and this year is about finding out if any of the young guys have a future. The offense could be good if Brooks can contribute and some of the injured players come back. We are going to have to address the QB next year because Dalton is a good backup and that's it.

Even before that, they started struggling.

The Saints kind of fell off a cliff after pounding us and the Cowgals.

Chris Godwin having a heck of a game.

Two consecutive sacks, wonder if Rattler will get rattled?

Now that is a good open field tackle.

Sorry, my comment was slightly tongue in cheek. I am not a fan of what has happened to college football recently as a whole, with the portal being a part of it. I am assuming one of the teams you are referring to is Army and maybe Navy since they are in one of the polls.

Baker Mayfield looks like Chris Weinke today.

So 22 of the teams in the top 25 used the portal, ergo teams should use the portal.

Baker Mayfield having a unusual first half. Nearly 200 yards passing, but two int's leading to points for New Orleans.
