CJ is a rotational guy now. I love the Addison signing. He really did play well.

I think the one thing you might want to look at was our pre/post bye snap counts and results. Horton was on the couch except 1 game pre-bye. Addison was 30ish% snap count guy and Ealy was the #1 snap count guy pre-bye. Wasn't working. Post bye, Addison replaced Ealy (except when he got hurt) and Horton's playing time went up. Our pressure was night and day pre/post bye. That's the reason we resigned Addison and Horton and let go of Ealy. They outplayed him as did CJ and the defense got better when Ealy's time reduced.

That said, I still think we draft a DE early, heck maybe double down with a guy who hangs out on the PS. I think the rookie may play a little (or a lot if just a plain old stud) early and then grow into a bigger role as the season progresses. Peppers and CJ are likely done after this year, so we need a rookie or two to pick it up.

CJ still has 2-3 years left as a rotational player.

Does this finish up all the holes? We had only 3 real DTs (not counting Crume just yet).

Honestly, I think so. We have places that definitely need upgrading, (TE2, PR) or depth/upgrade (RB), but we have a complete roster right now.

    • 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
