FAU's snaps are limited because they added Omeihu and have Danna and Karlaftis already here.

Skyy Moore had nothing stopping him from producing.

I liked the FAU pick, not that worried.

Jones is gone. That thing was dead the minute they got this year's whatever that was done.
[Reply]

Yeah, not that different other than you liked one pick and not the other.
[Reply]

Danna is probably gone too if we wanna be honest.
[Reply]

The talk all off season was Toney to be the #1.

No one, not even MVS, ever thought MVS would be the 1.
[Reply]

Danna being gone is a given.

Once guys hit the last year of their deal and aren't signed, they're gone. Tale as old as time.

The defense could fall off a pretty decent cliff if things go awry.

You could lose about 5/6 starters and you don't have a whole lot of backfill.

Wanya playing LT is gonna end up being huge though. That opens up some real resources they can use elsewhere.

I think there’s a very good case to be made that his best future role is as a power slot. And he would absolutely destroy in that role. That is much different from a guy who runs more consistent downfield routes. Many feel Reid should push him more but for whatever reason we aren’t fully willing to just yet. It reminds me a lot of Green Bay where Watson does a lot of your downfield routes where jayden reed is used as the creative tool to get quick hitters with lots of YAC.

I think rice is more capable than what he’s being asked to do and that in itself would open up our offense maybe just enough to get the small improvements we need.

:-):-):-):-):-):-):-)

The often injured guy that has started 2 games all season in comparison to MVS's 9?

CP might have though/wanted that... but that wasn't the reality of the situation.
[Reply]

Rice needs to be an outside WR. Pigeonholing him into a "power slot" whatever that is, is wasting an opportunity.
[Reply]

Look, CJ was about 99% certain to be gone anyway, so let's stop acting like there was a real chance he was staying. Gay and Sneed were also projected to be cap causalities in 2024 before the season even started.

So we weren't keeping this defense together as-is anyway after this season.

No matter what, we're losing a couple if not all three of those guys, and the defense was going to suffer for it anyway.

But, Chenal can fill in for Gay. McDuffie can takeover some of the things Sneed was doing if we lose him (hoping we don't). We'll be searching for a replacement for J. Reid, and maybe we'll upgrade there. Shouldn't be that hard, considering how meh Reid has been. Maybe he's already on the roster.

And there's no replacing CJ. Not realistically anyway. Just going to have to bite the bullet on that one.


But I really don't think they'll be that bad. Spags is a proven 'chickenshit-chicken salad' genius; they won't be top-3 next season, but they won't be bottom 10 either. Somewhere in the mid-teens at worst. More than good enough to win a SB if they just pick up two good weapons for Pat.
[Reply]

Take Jones away and all those single blocking snaps Karlaftis gets go bye bye.

So yeah, there's a chance FAU comes on strong and we have a nice DE duo along with Omenihu and you add some things are fine.

But taking Jones off the DL could lead to some bad things.
[Reply]

The difference in a mid teens and the 24th defense isn't exactly a huge gap. So yeah, one or two fewer things happen a game and that's what happens.
