Quick Question....

Two DEs account for 20% of our cap, you couldn't make this up, especially after getting burnt already with two RBs.

 

I have no problem with our DEs taking up 20% of our cap considering how productive they are and just how valuable high end pass rushers are in the modern NFL.  The issue is the running backs... they are simply not a very valuable position, we have a handful of them who are being paid very well and with the exception of our fullback they aren't productive (granted a lot of that is due to the line, Dlo can still make plays when he gets nice holes).

 

Now running backs can be valuable, especially if you have a poor option at QB and one of those truly special backs (Vikings and AP makes sense).  Thing is our running backs are even LESS valuable because our quarterback happens to be incredibly dangerous as a runner.

 

I'm not without hope though, if Stew can truly recover and we can get some nice pieces on the Oline we might actually have a pretty nasty running game which will vastly improve the scheme Shula is running.

Restructure CJ's contract....damn he's killing the cap.  It would really be nice if the Raiders traded for Greg Hardy and Carolina got a first and a third...replace Gross at the top of the draft and grab another pass-rusher in FA with the money left over...

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      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.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      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.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      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.
