Definitely not going to improve a ton on the Defensive side as we kept the same coach.

Look for marginal defensive improvements at best. The offense can be decent if we add another playmaker. 

There's too many ifs that must go right to have much of a turn around. I'm not expecting much of an improvement on defense. It's just too bad. On offense there may or may not be any difference at all. There will be more chemistry between Young and his receivers but will it be enough to offset a terrible defense. I think you've seen throughout the playoffs how important a defense is to winning games.

So far i have just seen that talent beats everything, Most of these games were blowouts because the other teams just dont have the heavy hitter players. 

The Vikings were 5th in ppg allowed and got beat by a team with more talented individual players at the positions that matter.

I'm not going to be overly critical because it's too early to judge some of these guys (and I have to keep telling myself that), but they could do a much better job of actually drafting players. If we have another draft like the last, it will be one helluva red flag.

[AU-panther]

Zero players in the top 10 at their respective positions.

Only three top 20 players at their respective positions.

This team needs to quit focusing on winning soon and instead focus on building a solid foundation that can last awhile.

Shy Tuttle is a depth/rotational DE IMO. He has no business being our NT and probably should be relieving DB and Robinson but his contract doesn’t match that role…

XL with the 102nd place playing 66% of snaps.  Sheesh.

But that RAS score! He's also big and a local guy.

I bet Evero gets canned at the end of next season.

How is Jaycee so low?

Obviously they don't think he's as good as fans do.

I think he had some VERY bad games, mixed with some good ones.

Honestly bad safety play is to blame IMO. We had safeties reacting too slowly or missing their assignments in which Horn was chasing after their guy.

Man, that defense unit is compete ass. I think the CB group is decent-ish and grade out worse than they really are due to zero pressure from the front 7 and no safety help. But damn that entire DLine, LBer and safety group, just utter garbage tier.

Also think giving Jewell an $18.75 million contract to be a bottom tier LBer doesn't get talked about enough.

I also remember saying around mid-season that Coker should be ahead of XL on the depth chart, and nothing has happened to change my mind since. Forcing a ton of snaps and targets to XL despite his poor play has been a real determent to the team.

But but I was told on another thread he was as good as Surtain and he deserved top cb money   I like JC but I don’t understand some people’s infatuation like he does no wrong he does plenty wrong hence 57th out of 116 

 All pro or not I remember trai turner making it one year when he was up for a contract. Then he got paid and fat

Didn’t Mike Jackson have the same safeties ?
