Well now reality is gonna set in. All that preseason hype about him being able to cover Jimmy Graham is going to be put to bed next week. Noone in this league has come close to covering him with saftey help, and just because we draft a LBer, he has the skills to do it. Nope. It is going to hurt being right about this, but at least my fantasy teams wont suffer.

I agree. I was on the don't draft Luke Band wagon and got stoned because he was a great player and a safe pick. The fact is he is a good defender against the run,but he didn't help us do the number one thing we needed to address this offseason. Rush the passer. He brings nothing to that area and after seeing get beat by blitzcrieg or whoever the bucs were man handling him with all game not sure he is that great against the run. He blew alot of arm tackles and was beaten in the passing game by Martin and on a few crossing routes.Never liked the pick still don't.

I was disappointed in Keuchly as well, but I'm not putting all the blame on him. Given the total amount of defensive plays, he was probably on the field for only 50% of the time if that. I was looking for his number all game, and couldn't find it half the time. If they are going to take someone out, take Anderson out. (In fact, if TD is fully healthy, I would put him in the starting line-up with Beason and Keuchly)

      Special Forces Finale - Newton

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      DS staff told Cam he'd done an amazing job. They heavily respected him, even called him a "frontrunner" to finish the whole thing. He just blinked a little too soon. Golden Tate failed for the opposite reason. He was ready to let Kayla Nicole die (figuratively) rather than give up (yikes 😬) One funny moment that'll likely end up on social media: The interrogators forced everyone to strip down in a really cold environment. Newton, underneath his military clothes, was wearing some wild looking, very colorful boxer briefs 😄 Side Note: Pro surfer Alana Blanchard was apparently wearing a pretty skimpy thong under hers because they had to censor her backside.

      I'm fine with this trade, especially since Williams hasn't played much over the years. That said, I'd prefer if they had traded Ball, who's also injured way too much, and Bridges.

      Everyone Pushing to Draft Yet Another WR Early

      By Stingray3030 · Posted

      They better score 35pts a game cause our defense gives up 31!  Worst points given up in NFL history.  I don't know how as a GM you can come out of the first round of the NFL draft following the worst defense in NFL history without taking a defensive player.  Day 1 off-season strategy planning meeting - Dan Morgan walks into the room and writes "MOST POINTS GIVEN UP IN NFL HISTORY".  First question to the group - how do we fix this?  If that isn't the start of the meeting we are in very big trouble.  The caveat is always a non-defensive player with "generational talent" or no defensive studs left at 8.  But for me the answer is Tet is not a generational talent and if there is no defensive studs when we get to 8 you trade down a few spots.  Every analyst I have seen ranks Tet below Nabers, Harrison, Thomas, and Bowers last year - you don't draft that at 8 in our situation.  Given our history of scouting WR's if our scouts feel differently than that I ABSOLUTELY know Tet is a bust.
