Not sure if any of you remember that line from the Newhart Show back in the 80s--if not, do not feel deprived.

DIdn't see any new threads worthy of response--the draft/free agency stuff can wait until later in February--but I wanted to point out 2 things I have noticed that have not been given a lot of attention-(or I missed it). 

The improvement of our Daryls

Daryl Williams has been very good at RT--the best RT we have had in....I can't recall when we have had better play there.   He has faced some pretty good talent there as well. 

Since his wake-up call in October, Worley has been pretty good.  Still plays a bit soft, but he is playing with more confidence and has been better in coverage--the light seems to have flickered on.  His development reminds me of another slow to develop CB, Norman.  Not saying, but just sayin...

I used to watch that with my dad. Anything for a buck. good stuff. 

Pumped about Williams. I think he is developing about how we could have hoped - year three and he is stepping up. Maybe another two and his in his prime.

Worley has certainly shown flashes that make you think he could be a decent CB2. Confidence seems to be a big thing with him.

lol i thought this board was ready to shitcan williams a few months ago

Oh, we (I include myself since I was calling for Moton to take his spot at the start of the season)definitely were. I think that's the point of the thread, he's finally starting to show why we drafted him. We tend to forget that he was hurt a lot of his rookie year and last year's O-line situation was a total clusterfug. People want rookies to immediately become all-stars, and that's unreasonable. This is even more true of Worley, who was tossed directly into the fire and had to be a starter from day 1. I hope he continues to improve, but he's certainly playing better the last few weeks. We've give them both too much crap on this board.

They've both been doing pretty well and developing right on schedule. 

When watching Worley, remember that most QBs and OCs will pick on the CB2 most often as part of the game plan. He's going to get picked on most often through the game. It's a good opportunity to learn and forge out some great skills. You'll know he has made it when they start winging more passes against Bradberry. He's almost there now.

It's good to see these guys developing. 

I'll never understand people who scream out "bust" the moment a player isn't Luke or Cam from the moment they are drafted. 

It takes time for plenty of guys to develop. I like the progress I'm seeing and I hope they continue it because there is still plenty of room for improvement. 

I want all our draft picks to succeed because when they do, we do. I'd rather be wrong about a guy and win, than be right and lose.

This is what happens when you actually give young players time to develop instead of calling for their head every time they make a mistake. 

Exactly.  A lot of the mocks have us going after a CB--but I think we are better than we could be better than we have been in 10 years with what we have in 2018. 

Worley and BB will be third year starting corners.  Hopefully, we have a better S or two behind them by next year.  We have Capt, and Corn at nickel.  I see some potential in Seymore--call me crazy. 

Grab a S in the draft and lets go with that. (I realize I said that I do not talk draft now, but we are evaluating talent and with Corn moving in next year, we are pretty solid (I am high on Corn--another thread title in the works).

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      He played like the kid coming out of Alabama. That's what he has done and what everyone expected him to do from the jump. What almost everyone failed to consider was what it would take to get him to play like that in the nfl. Turns out it was just a matter of confidence.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      This is actually a good discussion that dime to Legette was about 35 yards very accurate but not the TD throw to AT, but I definitely found Bryce hitting passes extremely similar to Andy I didn’t think Bryce could a couple weeks ago but that’s just not true he can. 32 sec mark he drops a dime 40 yards down the field where only Cooker can catch it with plenty zip with elite accuracy, I’d say the exact same dime Andy threw just diff part of the field. Bryce is showing he can make every throw Andy can make.  And your question is way to specific to find examples but I can find you very similar plays and If my boy Legette catches the dam ball Bryce might be able to have a deep TD pass that traveled about 30+ yards in the air we just need him to catch the ball and take off up the field but that’s not my argument I’m here to show Bryce throwing similar darts to Andy in his first year of being in a competent offense. TMJ and DJ Chark Mingo Ian Thomas lol and others as your go to weapons I’d say can have a major negative affect on your performances. But to address the argument here Bryce has film doing what Andy can do here’s the proof. (See video above)

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      I agree with all of that and Fitterer definitely sucked.  Some of that may also be blamed on the fact that he did not start with a fresh regime to come in.  So he had already burned some of his wick when we were starting over with a new coach (twice). The reality is that we do not often see players traded for that kind of package in the NFL today.  We don't see teams selling off star players for large hauls to start a re-build.  Whether or not that is the correct decision is up for debate.  But in the NFL it's observable that the opposite is mostly the case.  Teams tend to over value present assets vs future assets. It all goes back to the fact that "now" is all that matters if you're running an NFL team.  They say the NFL stands for "not for long".  You don't have the luxury to sow a field that won't be harvested until after you're gone.  Nobody's that selfless in NFL front offices.
