We'll check back on this after Saquan Barkley decimated our defense this coming Sunday.

Barkley can’t stay on the field. I bet he’s hurt again by week 8. 
 

Penn State is Bust University

I was penciling him in as a bust the moment Hurney selected him in the second round. Same with Chinn.

Something a lot of people don't seem to want to talk about is how irrelevant Chinn actually is out there these days. No splash plays, just chasing guys down after they run past either him or everyone else.

Burns Can't finish plays. Dude would be an all-pro if he could actually tackle. 

The entire defense is filled with disappointment.

The coaching staff has completely neutered Chinn. I forgot he was even on the team. His rookie year, and yes he was robbed of ROY, seems like decades ago.

Not sure if I'm 100% right but if my memory bank is somewhat correct ...YGM was a highly rated prospect coming out...only favored by Chaisson and Chase Young. Pretty sure there were a few predicting he might have even been a late first rounder. We got him in the 2nd..top 100. He has the size but although he did get to QB at Penn State he was probably graded better as a run defender...as was Derrick Brown which is even more frustrating considering our situation. 

He's definitely underperforming, from my expectations anyway. Hopefully his increased playing time will translate to better numbers as he progresses. 

The more I look at the line... the more I shake my head..

Burns(1st)-  Ioannidis(5th)  - Brown (1st) - YGM (2nd)

That's alot of draft capital. Returns aren't satisfying. Furthermore...

Thompson (1st) - Wilson (4th) - Luvu (UDFA)

Horn(1st)/Henderson(1st) - Jackson(2nd)

Chinn (2nd)- Woods (6th)

I will say Woods and Chinn make a great tandem. But hopefully YGM hasn't reached his peak. Definitely a huge dropoff from Reddick.

Good stuff here. also, to be fair to the players we are in year 3 of a sinking ship and the coaching staff is so bad that I can’t help but wonder what would happen to YGM, Brown, etc if some real coaches came in

First game as a true starter.  Against a team with a very good pass rush. 

Yes, this is the year that he needs to show he belongs,  but I'm not going to judge him based off this game.

Good point

They'll tighten up. Just hope it comes very soon

Chinn's effectiveness went way down when he was switched to full time safety.

[Call Me James]

Bad coaches and GMs picked these players. Don't expect much.

Dunlap or Clowney sure would have been nice additions.

People on this board a few months ago were actually arguing that we shouldn’t sign Dunlap or clowney because it would hurt YGM’s development 

[ForJimmy]

I thought he was going to be good, but whenever I see him play I’m all 

[PNW_PantherMan]

In retrospect, the best defensive additions (under Rhule) have been Gilmore and Reddick.  One was a partial season rental, and the other was just a one year deal.

And neither required coaching
