Moves I'd make.....

Things I noticed.....

We need a nose tackle.  Move Shy into DB's spot and sign Justin Rogers off the Bengals practice squad.  6'2 335lbs.  At least he eats up space.

We need more OLB help...

I'm calling both Marquis Haynes and Julian Okwara to see if they'd want to go up to the active roster for 4 games.

Our TE depth is depleted.  We need a guy who knows's the system and who can block. I'm calling Jacob Hollister back or calling Geoff Swaim.  Icky clearly needs someone to chip or help block.

Additionally, I will not make Miles Sanders active if he doesn't start running north and south.  Give me Boone or Dillon Johnson all day over him.

I think they are going to roll with Peevy as the 5th guy until Crumedy gets back for the DT rotation.

As far as OLB goes, Wonnum is supposed to be back in a few weeks and Leota didn't look horrible. (Better than Johnson). I would entertain Haynes though. 

We have about 4.9 million. There is no telling what we may have to spend that on should we lose a ton of people down the line.

I would be looking to poach an upside QB from somewhere. I understand riding Bryce to the top pick, but we need someone to play the 2nd half of these blowouts. 

Good idea, we need to keep him healthy and digging those nice, deep 1st half holes.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
