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!!

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
