With quality QB play. Is this roster ready to go?

[iamhubby1]

IMO, this is the best roster we have had is a long while. Quality QB play would put us in the competitive bracket. I like Corall, and am hopeful he can rise to the occasion. Because if he can, we can be something.

I think offensively if CMC stays healthy we are going to score some points.   I would prefer to see Corral under center but as long as Darnold has CMC he'll play better. 

I would like to see us sign a DE.  I am not sure whether Gross-Matos is going to final show his worth.  This is year 3 and he's got to step up.  If we can get some pressure I think we have the secondary to create some coverage sacks but we need that pressure.

If the defense shows up, which I believe it will.  We might surprise some folks.

We are still extremely susceptible to the run which means we are still extremely susceptible to play action which is what wins games in the NFL.  Until the run gets shored up and we get a possession WR we still arent exactly a QB away.

My only fear is that Rhule won't play Corall even after he learns the playbook, and can run some practices. Corall has to earn that start asap.

 

Yeah, that front 7 is a tad shaky right now. There is talent there, so there is a chance we can improve. Cuz if that front 7 plays well, that D could be really good.

@Davidson Deac IIshowed a stat recently that said we were 9th in yards per run. If we can stay right around there? We should be good to go.

No because we have an idiot for a HC. Now, replace him with a competent HC and I think it's a maybe. The question is how much our of our 2020-2022 draft talent pans out. 2020 and 2021 aren't looking stellar early. If those classes only end up with 1-2 real hits, this is a definite no. If we get a few more guys to pan out, this leans toward yes.

That is what is the key, how much of our recent(Rhule era) draft talent actually pans out.

In before, "this coaching staff can't win with any amount of talent"

EDIT: Damn, just missed it.

Well, so far, the money is on us having a decent roster. C'mon QB.

More positive leaning votes than negative.  Wow, go huddle!

So do you not believe that Coaches can improve? Because our coach has added some highly resected coaches to his staff. This just might be a positive. Rhule has less day to day crap to deal with. Leaving him plenty of time to work his magic.

 

Saying a Coach is bad is not the end all. There is always hope for improvement. 

 

Me? I would rather hope for improvement. It is better for the digestion.

I was hopeful it would go this way to be honest. The excitement level around here has had a marked increase of late.

front 7 on defense is pretty suspect.  And Reddick was a pretty big loss comparing last year to this year. 

we also only have 1 reliable WR/TE in the pass game and that is DJ.  So we have to add to that. 

and to some extent, many just have defaulted us into now having a strong OL in 2022 just because we have added new bodies.   We have seen that before even in recent times.   Where you can't just check the box at as it existing and solved because we have new guys in town.   

and obviously, to be competive does require good in game management, gameplanning and roster decisions.  And those presently are still things people hope will occur but to date haven't under Rhule.

So...because you failed to tell us how you voted, we are left to guess. And by this post? I'mma say it's a solid no for you?
