We aren’t explosive anywhere in the back 7, the front 4 is good, talent wise, not the front 7. Absolutely, turnover worthy plays are graded the same whether the opponent makes the play or not.

I don’t see why people thought our defense would be particularly good. We aren’t explosive anywhere. A couple of ESers got very upset with me for pointing out the areas we aren’t particularly good.

Gruden doesn’t like Peterson’s running style, but loves the elusive Perine.

Typically, when you see a flag, you’ll know where the call is going by the sound of the crowd... they’ll cheer before the official makes the final call on television. Yesterday the cheers were loudest when a call was against Washington.

Nelson won’t soon forget that drop. Brutal.

I wanted to get rid of Kirk & Trent, and we should have. I don’t know if you could get a first for Scherff, but that’s an easy move imo. Take a guard with the 1st I get, take one late, and develop Martin & Flowers ... and you always have FA as well as OL available in trades after the draft. We’d be fine there.

If I got a first, I’d draft a guard in the first, and I better get it right. There are guys to be had around the league, but I’d simply take a guard I have a first round grade on over paying Scherff ... unless I graded Scherff as a top 5 interior OL, in which case I’d be more than happy to pay him. I’d have done the same with Trent a year & a half ago & played Ty.

I can see that. I wouldn’t be against keeping him, but if I was offered a first, I’d move on. Scherff, Dunbar, Foster, Payne, Allen, Monte, Settle, Allen, Quinn, Guice, Way & our rookies are the only guys I’d consider pieces we can build around. Right now, Flowers isn’t all that far from making that list - but we obviously need to see more & see continued improvement.

Cardinals fans were not bad week 1.

Build continuity with the guard I draft to replace him. I’m not paying Scherff as a top 3 interior OL, I’ll draft someone who will be very good for much less. There are incredibly gifted OL prospects in this draft, I’d trade Trent & Scherff & draft 2 in the first and 2 more later on. The guard position is one I value more than just about anyone, but I don’t see BS as the stud rg that others do.

Atl isn’t struggling to get pressure on Wentz.

Manusky would consider that indecorous.

Keep Dunbar, remove the rest.

I’d trade Scherff in 6 seconds if a first rounder was coming back.

One question remains, are we worse at losing while trying to win than Miami is at winning while trying to lose.
