Big praise for our UDFA rookie safety, he had a great game today and looks like another great hybrid SS/linebacker. Give this defense two more years with good coaching along with plugging up our linebacker core plus another DT/CB and we’re legit. This team is young and talented I’m super impressed by this team this year!

I'm going to put this out there now.  We'll be in the hunt next season for a wildcard playoff spot.    These games we lose this year, we'll win next year.

Yeah, he's a baller. 

If certain spots on our defense were even halfway decent, we'd be easily winning these games.  It just sucks, bc we have a couple bright spots, really bright- Burns, Brown, Chinn, Franklin, YGM, and maybe Douglas and Carter, but the rest of this defense you could pretty much throw in a trash can.  The secondary and front 7 outside of the guys listed are likely the absolute worst in the NFL.  The only reason we aren't ranked dead last is bc Snow is literally dropping 8 into coverage 90% of the game just to slow them down and eat up clock.  This is the worst 4 or 5 weeks stretch of defense I can ever remember having.  I think we've forced 2 punts in 5 weeks lol.

Definitely enjoyed watching Franklin the past few weeks. Still rough around the edges, but he is certainly exceeding expectations. He has had more flashes of promise than I expected for an UDFA and think he can be part of the rotation. 

I wonder if when Burris and Chinn return, if we would kick 52 to the bench and move Shaq inside, with Chinn and Franklin moving around, and Burris/Boston on the backend.... or maybe the plan is for Franklin to be paired with Burris, and move on from Boston. 

So many options...but glad Franklin is making the most of his opportunity.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
