  1. Turner weighs about 15 lbs less. Think Ngauake. Do yourself a favor and checkout the weight of the best DE's. There is a power element when you are fighting with a 315-325 LB tackle. Latu is an interesting specimen. He is not at all ripped with his upper body. With his shirt off at the combine I considered him comparatively whimpy. And watching game tape his attack I found that I couldn't quite tell why he was so successful. I have since watched him training and had media that I could slow down. Perhaps because he isn't muscle bound he is very flexible. He does get low with a twist and knee bend and remains smooth. And he does it quickly. This is Elite. So i'm watching his attack with his arms and I will describe it like a fierce swim, windmill thing, both arms swinging forward, and it sure looks like the tackles can't time a defense to the motion. Yet he seems to, letting him knock their hands down with precision,, then he instantly drops his shoulder and bends and explodes around them. He certainly isn't muscled up like the freak Joey Bosa, but against college players it sure looks very similar. His upper body isn't thick but watching him run through the heavy bags he hits them really hard with a compact motion. He is physical and plays fast. Let's hope he once and for all allows Ballard to take the dunce hat off regarding DE.
  2. Paye played a career high 700 snap. He was in a rotation with Ebukam, Dayo, and Lewis. You think he should have played 200 more snaps like Joey Bosa? Bosa had 2 more sacks than Kwity.
  3. Year 4 is year one of NFL Prime. Kwity was very good last season. Kwity was credited with 0 missed tackles. He also plays his flat like a beast. He is a riser. We need a good blitzing LB. Blitzing when you have corners that can only cover the zone in front of them from ten yards off for 2 seconds... Ballard is in the stone age. Our division rivals are glad he is here.
  4. Middle of the pack because we were near the bottom with blitzes. An easy one.
  5. Let's send one of them to the Bengals.
  6. The mission is to build something that has us competing with the best of the best. This is a season for AR to get tuned up. Who do you think will be the right guys on our roster now to take us to an AFC Championship game? It's not Smith, Fries, and we likely can't get there with more than 2-3 of our current back seven. I would offer Buckner to the Bears as part of a trade for 9. Eberflus wants to have a great D so maybe he bites. Then hopefully trade back 2-3 spots for a good pick. I'd love to come out of the draft with Latham and the Byron Murphy II. And come out of the draft with RG Bebe.
  7. The depth is good 😊. This is what the laugh emoji was good for. Shoot 🔥, our starters are not even good 😊. And this is why I blocked the guy.
  8. Worthy would of course run some crossers, but he would do mostly what Pierce did. Pierce led the league in go patterns. Doing it we saw that his low 4.4 speed did not allow him to blow by people. Worthy would have Tyreke + speed to put the fear in a D and require safety help. That would boad well for all other aspects of our offensive attack. We could do worse. Smith from Philly is sleight. 6' 170 Little Downs operates on quick hitters so often between the numbers. That is the hitting zone. He survived nicely.
  9. I think they would worry more about Wiggins than Worthy. There will be at least a half dozen great prospects to pick from. So Ballard has advised us he is looking for a good trade back opportunity in the 19-21 range.
  10. DeJean will get eaten alive by twitchy WR's in short yardage and at the goal line. I would look elsewhere even at 46. He is a RB. He will have his success in the NFL as he is a FB player The only CB that I am interested in is a 4.3's 190 lb. Don't care if he is a 4th rd development project. He has until playoffs 2025 to get his schiff together because then it's on.
  11. Arnold would be a great "2" corner. I watched a lengthy interview with Arnold and he couldn't be more impressive. Watching his tape he bends, twists, runs with tremendous agility. But he has to grab and live off being physical because he can't run with the big boys. A perfect Chris Ballard guy. Sorry but we desperately need a guy that won't get out ran.
  12. Huh! Flowers is big but did run in the high 4.3's. The rest of our corners are all Wilson's. Big and slow, running in the 4.5's. Ballard has 7 years of proof that he and Dodds live in the past regarding roster building. Steichen getting through to them and Ownership is where our hope lies.
  13. We play man almost 30% of the time. That is slightly below the middle of the pack. Very few teams are heavy man. Gus is so conservative because Ballard/Dodds give him at best 2nd rate back 7 talent. It couldn't be more obvious.
  14. He's must be talking about our pathetic back seven, the constant meltdown here over no worthy pass rusher, and the exhausting dreamers that believe the mountain top is trading the kitchen sink for Marvin Jr. so we could be an 11 win team. This is how I'm reading him.
  15. 2006 has that winning 11 games is enough mentality like so many here. Having a SB level right side of our o-line should be priority one. We are far from it. We need a shutdown corner that can go man on the many great 4.3 running WR's. This simply allows the deep safety to defend everything else. Instead of Ballard sticking him in the middle of the field knowing that one of his slow corners will get beat deep. We need a LB for development and depth that can cover better. And yes a 3rd receiver that gets open quick that can also threaten deep. With faster, better players on D, Gus could blitz 5 more times a game to get the pressure we need. I have No Doubt Steichen has taken Ownership, Ballard and his staff to school regarding what we have and what we need. Pray that 4-5 of our current very young players can become really solid by seasons end. Plus 3-4 really nice draft picks and 2025 and beyond we can be reckoned with. We need to be amongst the very Best at running the dang ball and pass blocking. I think if I could move back 5 spots and take Mims at RT and move Smith over that would be great. Then use the necessary draft capital to get LB Cooper and CB from Rutgers Melton. I would expect Ballard to take Leggett over a CB. That would be a good move to. I would feel really good about our prospects.
  16. Downs broke out in year one. He has incredible quickness off the line, and is fast enough to take most any match up deep. He also sees holes in the zones instantly, he is a great slot. We do have all the necessary receiving weapon to exploit a D. Of course a 3rd WR that plays fast would be a great add. 3rd rd makes sense.
  17. AR proved in his first game that he is going to be very good.
  18. If one were to understand that all teams defend with zones in very similar ways, and know that Gus plays man about 30% of the time which is just on the lower side of middle of the pack, so what then is the issue with "Gus". Ballard/Dodds! We ARE near the bottom in speed, intellect, experience, Talent, with Gus's back seven. Gus is forced to play soft with dem bums. Ballard/Dodds have killed us with their many misses drafting DE's, Rock-Ya. This draft, this 53 man + roster should be pivotal, heavily scrutinized by Ownership.
  19. We saw him struggle with power let's saw particularly the first two thirds of the season. If we were to look up the record, Raimann went through the gauntlet over a 6 week or so period going up against the best in the business. Of course they beat him some but he also as was said, had the switch turn on pretty suddenly and then played very well. Ten pounds of added umph and we are now set at LT.
  20. Kwity is a good player and this would be the perfect time to give him a big lump sum. I'll guess fifth year option + 3 years for$14m per. Comes out to 5 years at about $56m. We still would have the $ for a quality FA. Simmons?
  21. QB's that think fast and throw very accurately are the base for a SB contender. The best help for the QB is a strong run game and having time to throw. With Taylor missing the first for games, no Elite WR, and Smith missing I believe 6 games, and a rag muffin QB, we were 10th in scoring. And near the bottom on D. Knock on Woods, year two of Steichen and our scoring should improve. Pittman is now in his prime, Downs is so smart and quick he is nearly unguardable. We have 4 TE's that run and catch well. Having a 4th WR that is fast, runs good routes, with very good hands will be a big help. And we can find that as late as round 3. My first pick would be RT Latham. Fries is consistently dominated by power and gets pushed back too easily, so adding a better RG is high on my preference. Maybe that is Smith, or Latham for a year.
