Well, worse.  Much worse.  Fix the o line fast, or we're heading for another top 3 pick. 

But let's see how fast people start blaming Reich, and not just the fact this franchise has proven time and time again it can't hire worth a damn.  We've never had back to back winning seasons for nothing.  It's an organizational problem. And fug Tepper.

Can’t walk away feeling good.

pretty crazy how all it took was one half of it pre-season football for fans to go from, we’ve finally fixed the o line to a 4 alarm fire.

Felt like more of the same overall and i don’t recall a single positive thing that happened on the offense that made me feel different than years past.

but I’m hopeful we will get better, but I still think we’re a 6 win team.

I know the preseason ritual. Laugh at those who panic, it’s cool to not give a fug because it doesn’t count. We’re the only team that didn’t score a single point so far this preseason. Anyone who thinks everything will magically be fine in three weeks or so is delusional. Yes some starters were missing on defense but that 3-4 needs work. And for the offensive line, forget scheme and game planning, those dudes had no heart out there. Moton looked like dogshit during his reps.  I’m not panicking but I also know we’re no where close to ready.

Learning curve season.  Fix defense next off season then make run in 2024. 

 

I think it's nuts to expect playoffs this year

If we were in the AFC east I would agree but why is it nuts to think we can not win over the falcons, saints and bucs who all were below 500 last year and Brady retired

Hear hear.  
 

Silver lining. Maybe the arse kicking will finally put a stop to the media and social media hype and these mothf’ers can put their heads down and work.

Last year was a complete aberration.   The saints and Falcons got significantly better.

    • 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!?
