He ain’t it. He makes a bunch of tackles because teams are attacking him directly but he’s having no discernible positive impact on the game.

I have been closely watching him since Shaq and Jewell went down. We agree.

Also keep in mind our DL isn’t great so OL are probably getting through making our LBs life more difficult. Especially a rookie one. Having DB back next year will make life easier on Jewell and Wallace. I know Luke loved having Star up front keeping guys off him.

Smith-wade and Wallace are both rookies but oh wee mayne they both looked awful out there

DJ Johnson and Jammie Robinson are both recent defensive draft picks that are non-contributors in their sophomore season

currently, we don't have a single healthy player on defense that was a draft pick besides Horn

No one can say Bust Young does not have weapons now. All this and he still looked like hot garbage. 

27. TE Ian Thomas: 35.7

Bam, old shitballs looks bad once again. Just stash him on the practice squad and be done with it. Why is he still here???

New contract incoming!

Fitterer’s 2023 draft was so epically bad.

Right? Good thing we didn't keep the draft scouting staff completely intact and hire his best friend to be the new GM!

Yeah but the “search firm” landed on him.

I know. I understand. I just see no suddenness out of him. And I really haven't seen him lay wood to anybody, not that he hasn't but I have not seen it.

He needs an offseason and then let's revisit. 

wait, I do remember seeing him stonewall a little like, mini pile, Sunday and I did like that. He has some strength.

What was Bryce's and Chuba's grade?

Bryce got a 54, which seems about right. Not week 1&2 bad, but still bad

Apparently PFF wasn't swayed by garbage time stats in the fourth quarter down 3 possessions.

Clearly they are just biased.

That writer was though. It is going to get shitty again.

That is demoralizing

Ive made a thread about Michael Jackson and his stellar play, but he was awful in this game. Joke of a score PFFffffffft.

Coker needs to be on the field for 90% of the snaps from here on out.....best weapon in the offense right now imo
