after draft/FA, which NFC South team is our main competition

Draft is done and all the big free agency moves are over. We all know basically what each team has to work with now. Which team will give us the biggest test and is the most improved in the division. Put on your tin foil hats and predict the future.

Atlanta. Still some formidable talent on that squad and improved in the areas they needed.

Just a matter of whether Quinn is a good coach or if he's a product of that sheer talent on the Seattle defense. Also, that offensive line still needs an overhaul and that wasn't addressed in the draft.

Division will end up in this bold prediction:

1. Carolina - pretty obvious choice B)

2. Atlanta - fast team with no physicality, a do or die the next two years for Matty to deliver for the franchise

3. Tampa Bay - starting to settle, trending up or just be the Bucs like always

4. NO - LOL stand back and watch the death the next couple years of the Sean Payton era. When the defensive coordinator Ryan was kept and mediocre draft with team roster blown up, all I can say is it is good to be a Panthers fan.

Agree with Atlanta.  New coach, new defensive talent, dangerous offense especially if they focus on the run game again.  New Orleans is ripe to implode and Tampa is probably 2 seasons away until Winston develops more.

There is so much up in the air right now.

 

How good a head coach will Dan Quinn be? (and will his O-Line be any better)

 

What are the Saints gonna be like after trading away guys like Graham and Kenny Stills and remaking their roster?

 

Will Jameis Winston boom or bust?

 

Lots and lots of unknown right now.

Taints

Failcons

Yucks

 

Taints losses in passing game are balanced by gains in run game; D-line hurt last year is getting healthy

Failcons struggle early with new blocking and defense schemes; will improve later in season if they stay healthy

Yucks depending on rookie QB and rookie O-Line; no pass-rushing DEs and shaky secondary

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
