Is there a single area of the team you are excited about for the future?

Honestly I still think we have some pretty nice young pieces and the early semblance of a core with CMC, Burns, Brown, Chinn, Horn, maybe Moton and YGM. Other good older pieces as well. This I think is reflected in the fact that the team despite having bumbling, non NFL caliber morons on the sidelines (besides Snow imo but he hasnt been hot lately either) isn't getting completely ran off the field. The roster is simply too talented to lose like how the Jaguars did today to the Patriots or like the Skins last week. My main concern is if Rhule's cancerous "culture" has spread too deep into them. 

We need to get rid of Fatt before he can stunt their development any further and sink us with bad, likely desperate hot seat-influenced personnel decisions. There's still time to salvage it but it's critical that we sh*tcan him before he can do any further damage. If we don't, we may well have to blow it all up again.

1.  I haven't seen us fumble a punt return in a while.  The guy can't return one more than 5 yards, but as least he secures it.

2. Kicker/punter.  Have been pretty solid, even after injuries.  Sly lost us games between missed kicks and XPs.

He can't catch and Abdullah is just as good if not better.  He isn't the biggest problem by a long shot, but he was a waste of a pick.

He's a stronger runner than Abdullah.  He could still become a better receiver - he had seemed to improve there but is still lacking.

I dunno I think he was a good pick and is performing well for a rookie. Hell, he's picked at the right place for a RB imo.

I look forward to watching CMC play next season, and Horn as well. Having CJ, Horn, and Gilmore at DB will be pretty sweet. The  defense overall will probably be better due to maturing in the system.

On offense we'll have a new QB imo, so he might be pretty good. You never know.

Absolutely there is.................without a doubt starting next year we will have the best state of the art practice facility in all the NFL.

Tepper is making sure of that........

What else would expect from a guy who puts ketchup on a steak?

That state of the art practice facility will be the professional sports version of putting lipstick on a pig.

Understandable there is a lot of disgruntled fans on this board.  However, I think we have many good pieces and with a good head coach and coordinators I think we can do well next year.

It all depends on Tepper. 

It all depends on Tepper....................

Hence the disgruntled fans...........

    • While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.    
    • Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
