OK, so if no heir to Smitty is in our draft plans, or in the draft at all,then FA is critical


top dawg

There are pluses and minuses to drafting a WR in the first round, when there is the likes of A.J. Green, or perhaps Julio Jones, Dez Bryant, or possibly even a Justin Blackmon or Kendall Wright...maybe. But if a legit WR1 is not in our draft plans, or is not in this draft period, then the same old problem remains: We are fuged if 89 goes down for multiple games. With Gett already alluding to the fact that we need to get some more playmakers/TD producers, wouldn't this mean that a big time WR is in our plans for FA? This, of course, would mean that some prolific---not totally unexpected---moves will have to be made to fix and clear cap space. So saying it is one thing, but internalizing the fact that fan favorites will be gone is probably necessary for the mental health of the unreasonable. Prepare yourselves, people. For me, it's gonna be a fun ride.

I have a feeling that we are not going to wing it this time. Having only Smitty as our only legit, take-it-to-da-house WR is not gonna fly in 2013 with Rivera's job on the line, and Gett at the helm.

No one on that list excites me. Wallace is gonna want more $$$ than we can afford, probably Bowe too. Jennings has had injury problems lately and ain't no spring chicken himself. WRs Welker is getting old and will never leave the system that's the only reason he's been successful. No one else is even interesting except....

One of the two Legadoodoos at the end of the list!!

    • KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.
    • Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.  
    • Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
