throwing BBZ

I know we must trade back. And we must come out of the draft with Washington LT Troy Fautanou to play RG next season

It's a deep draft. And Chicago will get Harrison plus picks for trading down to 3. Buckner would be very valuable to Eberflus so an early second for a 30+ in the final year of his contract makes since. We will not be a contender next season so there you go. Someone can have Zaire also. His numbers lie a little bit.

Hmm! Why I believe you are being dishonest. Of course he has pass blocking issues at tackle. Probably bottom 50%. And Probably top 10% in run blocking. He would be a better Guard, a real mauler and we need one. JMO Smith could be a Pro Bowl G. THIS IS the point! Smith SHOULDN'T play Tackle. Fries is okay when playing with Smith but he can't drive guys off the line by himself. I hope early, we draft a powerful guard, prefer a strong tackle prospect that could play G in year one. He would offer depth at T as needed. Freeland will require a significant jump to be worthy of backup duty.

There were many bad Minshew passes. He probably cost us a first down. The rest is pure mystery. Smith being out reduced our ability to threaten the right side and our pass pro.

Our bad QB couldn't throw an accurate pass to our #2 receiver time and time again, and was too cowardly, doesn't have the arm to make the throws downfield to the oft open Pierce. We had bad safety play, lots of bas CB play, bad tackling, and yes we missed having a healthy Smith.

He talked about how he liked to run it. He is talking about a slower developing play with probably more blocking options. We were using Goodsons speed to get out and up for 1st down yardage. Please watch for this play being used. I just watched the Jags run it the exact angle we did, to the right, and guess where Lawrence threw it? He didn’t screw it up.

Let's believe Steichen had our play designed and we practiced it multiple times just the way it was ran. Minshew made an instant decision to throw it to the wrong shoulder creating an impossible catch opportunity. Warner would make a great coach.

Minshew was off target all day, bad routes, and you come up with this garbage. How about the QB looks at his receiver and throw it where it needs to go. Steichen was hamstrung with what he could call because of Minshews limited repertoire. Hopefully we get a young backup with more tools for Steichen to develop.

NEVER NEVER draft a 6'3" corner. That also runs in the 4.5's. R. Thomas made a mental mistake. Shocking.

Winning covers a lot of difficulties. Jim has to be feeling so much better regarding the state of his Colts at this time. The regret of giving Frank a big new contract and the following dumpster fire that followed. The joy of David Tepper of Carolina hiring Frank, wiping out much if not all of the tens of Millions Frank was owed. Nice! The Great decision to get Steichen away from the "Genius Howie" and Sirianni and the following results, maybe allows Jim to kick back with his feet up on the desk and think happy thoughts. I'll betcha GM Jim is scouting for the draft, and looking for prospects as our next potential DC.

I'm right with you with your first three and would lean to LB or S in the top for. If he isn’t in love with someone in rd one we can trust that he wants to trade back. I expect him to sign at least one good FA. Either a WR, S, in the $8-10M range.

Some people should be dismissed even ignored.

More wisdom like this and I might take Moose off ignore.

Uhhh, what other teams run the stretch play?

Thomas is highly intelligent and very fast, but is always late to the play. Suggests having a lower FB IQ. The kind of player you have on your 27th worst defense. Not even a decent backup.

Rewatching the first half of the Atlanta game Franklin and Speed either couldn't get off their blocks, were to slow reading the play, misjudged the speed of their opponents, took bad angles, just didn't get to the spot, and missed the tackles. And Rodney Thomas is stuck out in the middle of nowhere, what the phk Gus? Pierce should come up with a game plan that makes Minch look bad. Or maybe with Pittman and Smith and playing at home we do find a way to outscore them. A toss up.

Isn't it possible the biggest character issue here is that Drew hooked up with someone with character issues? Probably substance abuse issues.

Health reasons. Tearing his body up over the next couple seasons with little probability of winning a SB sounds sucky. He is wealthy. He has a brain and wants to pursue other interests. The primary reasons.

I remember that game Darius gave up 16 of 16 passes. It's a good thing he was so effective at the peanut punch.

I think learning in the classroom, and studying tape Is where they learn.

Pittman, Grover for sure. I hope we can keep Lewis. Let the rest go. Hopefully we will be drafting for a new DC. We need a Devonte Smith/Zay Jones quick speedster, a CB we can leave on an island again their best. A great safety and a top notch LB. We also need to be developing a really good DT and a G prospect. lol 😆

Kwity, Ebukhan, and Lewis give up some rush because they play the run while also staying in their lanes. Gus chooses to give them no help. There is no way Steichen can bring him back. Can Irsay muster the cajhones to go with a new vision at GM. Look to the East Jim, Look at the Ravens

He is just a fraction slow anticipating and reacting. A soft link to having a good Defense.

Moss is a tougher runner if you are only going to run at the pile. We came up with a lower game plan offensively. We were 27th in yardage allowed WITH all of the turnovers we had created. Is it a big surprise they would pile up some yardage if we didn't turn them over? How many plays did we see Zaire diving at them as they ran by and Thomas never close to anyone to make a play? Speed is really improving with experience.

Taylor is so "patient". You will rarely gain more than 3-4 yards doing that. Put the kids in. They will use their power or speed. Surprise, Taylor has sucked on a couple pass plays to.
