SOME 2017 STATS

[RumHam]

Honestly being flashy and signing poe is going to bite us in the ass. That 9-10 mil could have went somewhere more important. We had the guys to plug in. 
Even without Poe, i doubt our rushing defense and sack numbers would diminish much. But we are taking such a big hit in our secondary and could potentally be holding back our offensive output.

Rushing stats without the QB? 

I would say in the middle of the group.

Need to draft a power RB like Chubb.

that’s mostly bc our offensive system has been terrible for YAC

To be fair, it also had to do with how Cam likes to operate as a passer (see the Receiver come open, then pass instead of throwing where the receiver will be with anticipation).  That's not to diminish the fact that our OC/QB coach didn't push him in that regard at all, and also was hell bent on running him head first into a brick wall.  Year 1 under norv will be huge for Cam and I for one can't wait to see it.

I'm pretty much down to wanting DJ Moore or Ridley, our top CB (my pick is Josh Jackson, but if we like Alexander or Hughes better then fine), or Harold Landry at #24.

I put Landry in there simply because our DEs are old and our defensive philosophy pretty much demands very good if not elite DE play to work. If we think he can replicate his college success then we'd be crazy to let him pass by is if he was there at #24. I honestly think he's the best pure pass rusher in the draft.

We do, and there will be a nice power back who can compliment CMC in round 3.

 

What else we need and your love affair with TEs will like

Dalton Schultz- will fit that TE2 spot nicely. A upgrade to Dixon there.  And helps in the run game.

I'm tired of depending on defense. Let's score a bunch a damn points. Nobody the last couple years have won the super bowl with defense. Look how damn awful Patriots defense was last year and they made the Super Bowl. Lol it's all about offense in the NFL now and with all the penalties they called on defense.

 

Lol. The Pats were great in the redzone. They'd let you drive and keep you to 3. And the eagles arguably won because of their D. They pressured Brady all night. And a defensive play sealed the deal. You don't beat Brady without Defense.

You've aged yourself as a seven year old if you do not remember 2016.

Don't really get your logic because they both scored over 30 points?

Naw dont get an elite power and speed back. Lets just keep using Cam as the main power running back then blame him for losing and being hurt. Sounds like a plan.

[Black&BlueBubba]

Don't forget just #21 in Red Zone scoring.  If we don't fix that there is no Ring.
