“Misdirection”

I have no idea what Goaltender Interference is or isn’t someone explain it to me like I’m 5 please lol

Finally copped a PS5. Ended up with digital edition. 
 

What’s everyone doing for TVs these days? Im looking to upgrade in the next few months. Think I have an idea but curious what the vibes are around here. 
 

For context, I currently have a 73” Mitsubishi Projection from roughly 2010 that’s 1080p and 120hz. it’s not just for gaming, it’s also our main screen for streaming. 
 

Not sure I’ll stay that big I’m probably looking for a 65” with 4K. I’m leaning LG OLED sub $2k at the moment. 
 

Now that we have a defense people want to play for, we’ll get more prove it deals. More mercenaries. Look how it worked for Darby.

This DL will make him look better, and he can get paid elsewhere. We get comp picks. Rinse repeat. 
 

I heard recently if you want to switch numbers you have to buy all outstanding Jersey stock at retail price

easy for Landon Collins, maybe not Kam Curl lol

Cosmi is here to fill in at RG next year.... Change my mind.

If that’s the case it’s a failure. There is no way that is their intention. A backup plan, sure. Your statement makes it seem like that is plan 1a.

At this guys size/measurables, which are according to RAS the 2nd best profile ever measured among drafted tackles, combined with his 35 starts at LT and RT, if he ends up a guard we need to fire our oline coach.

scherff moving to G was one thing. He had agility/length concerns at T that we’re apparent before and after the draft process, and immediately at training camp. Cosmi has no such issues, and honestly, his height alone makes G tougher. 
 

If scherff leaves, we have Schweitzer, Flowers, and Charles at a minimum to work on replacing him with. Cosmi will be a tackle.

It's probably not that important, but you've got the Oregon DE, Jalen Jelks down as Jalen Jenks.

 

Thanks for doing this by the way.

I’m interested to see how the season plays out for Fuller and that 10mil per season contract he has.

Where’s this coming from?  Haven’t seen anyone on the thread talking about it anyway... 

but yes, Fuller is valuable to the team.  

UKs post above is what I was responding to, might be the only instance in this thread. But it’s a common enough theme on this website and it drives me bananas lol

Why are we always trying to replace guys lol. Kendall Fuller at $10 mil is a good deal now and in the future. He’s exactly the kind of player Ron wants. Guy can play outside, slot, and FS. He’s won a championship. And he’s performed at a high level, just not as consistently as we’d like. Guy hasn’t met a WR screen he can’t shut down.

We’re so quick to get rid of guys on our roster just to sign other FAs on the market, or overrate the talent we drafted. The grass isn’t always greener lol 

Ron values position flex too much to not have a few RB/WR/DBs be able to return. I don’t think he’ll keep a guy that can only return and provide no real value elsewhere 

Perhaps one reason there’s less developing of QBs is the quality of scouting and identifying guys that can play his higher, just based on resources and technology alone.

previously guys that can play weren’t universally recognized and could be had later in drafts and stashed. But nowadays those same guys would’ve been 1st/2nd round picks 

All said... I have nothing to back this up but conjecture lol

“If 80 year old Jason Whitten can get out of the booth and run PA routes and squat in zones for 4 yard curls...”

 

Wait, what? There’s 80 year old players making comebacks?

 

There’s hope for me reviving my football careeer after all.

 

Gonna have a zoom conversation with Coach Rivera butter him up with a few good stories, let him know how hungry I am and snag me a mini-camp invite!

I almost went with 60, changed to 80 at the last minute to see if you’d run with it 😄

glad you played along haha

Once Fields was gone, I was out on QB in the draft this year. We have some high upside options in Allen/Taylor/Fitz that only cost $$$ at this point. adding another with a 2/3rd would’ve been wasteful I think. 

Ive convinced myself at this point that we’re getting our QB next year. That will be year 3 for Ron and company. Even if we go 9-7, 10-6, make playoffs and win a game. Anything short of a super bowl and Dan will be feeling the urge to grab that QB 

it’ll either be a big splashy vet trade for a disgruntled elite older QB, or it’ll be a top 5 pick. 
 

either way I predict Jamin Davis is the last position player we draft in the first for the next 2-3 years lol

I’ve seen the comp here before but Dyami Brown occupies the same space in my head as Stefon Diggs coming out

If he can perform at even 50-75% of Diggs production that’s a big win for us

also Dyami Brown, like Stefon Diggs, is just a sick WR name there’s no way he isn’t good 

I know we can flex DTs out to DE, but our DE depth after Chase/Montez is very weak.

Toohill is a JAG. Smith-Williams is JAG or slightly better.

these new guys, WBK and Shaka, both seem undersized, Shaka especially so. 
 

WBK in particular is the pick I’m least sold on. Someone please tell me why I should be excited for him, I want to be an optimist so I need something on him to cling to lol 

Toney is VERY small for the position I feel like, I almost thing he’d be better at LB but I hate drafting just to change someone’s position like that.. his speed is silly though 

reminds me of Dadi Nicolas out of VT a few years ago 

I’m also worried about LB depth if Jamin goes down, we still need more there

I’m weirdly fine with FS. I liked Reaves last year, and I think Forrest can handle FS

If cosmi ends up anywhere other than LT it’s a serious indictment on our coaching staff IMO

this dude has ELITE athletic gifts to make up for any arm length issues, and a work ethic to match. 
 

it may not be starting year 1, game 1, but I see great things on the left side 

I’ve heard some safety talk but I definitely see him as a man corner. He’s got elite length, and elite short area quickness. There will be coverage over the top to help. 
 

we should be giving BSJ an equal amount of praise for his 3 cone as we all ripped DK Metcalf for his 

I think in 2 corner sets, he’s off the field unless against guys like Golladay maybe.

In 3 corner sets, he’ll play outside and push Kendall to slot (if all are healthy)

It's Benjamin. But it's St-Juste. Hyphen AND you forgot an e. Teach you for picking the nit!

Thought I’d throw you the bone, can happen to anyone 😂

Brandon or Benjamin St Just? 

Guys he’s a 2nd TE. His targets will be manufactured, very rarely a primary target. He doesn’t need to be elite at separation. His ability to block (and catch) will give our formations credibility to hide our intentions to run/pass. 
 

because of that, he’ll be targeted on PA routes and check downs for the most part. 
 

and if he gets 1-2 catches per game, he’s doubled the production of our entire group last season.

if 80 year old Jason Witten can get out of the booth and run PA drag routes and squat in zones for 4 yard curls, Bates will be fine.

This guy is exactly what we needed idk why some of y’all so pressed about him. TEs that can’t block are luxuries, and only valuable if they’re elite talents IMO. Otherwise, they’re just as much a liability. It telegraphs too much to a defense, cause you take them out on running plays, or ask them to do something they can’t.

a guy like this, with excellent blocking, if you think his hands were undervalued in college, has more value to our offense than a receiving tight end you have to teach to block.

im see bates as a critical contributor this year, that will seriously help the run game 

Nah if we don’t find one this year, and we don’t find ourselves in the top 5, I’m 100% down to acquire whatever elite disgruntled veteran is out there

Give me Wilson, Rodgers, Watson, in exchange for 2-3 1st rounders and some change

If I can get 2-3 title runs out of this defense and a QB like that, I’m pushing all the chips in

Brady and Manning are also not the best examples to equate with WFT's situation because Brady & Manning were also at the twilight of their career and the burden was also the franchises bringing them in to also break the banks in the short term to surround them with talent to win championships immediately.   I'd have expected any franchise that signed them to do the same thing.  

 

WFT is a young team for the most part. If they end up with a guy like Dak or Watson, the improvement in the offense will be immediate but there also isn't this burden to win a Superbowl in 2021 or even 2022 the way there would be with a Manning or Brady under center.  

I’d just like to clarify that my point about Brady/Manning was more about the NFL and QBs gaining power and general

im not endorsing us to trade for those same people, or that it’s good for any team per se. 

just pointing out that it shouldn’t be surprising the QBs in that elite tier are finally using their leverage to get what they want instead of playing the teachers pet 

also I want no part of Darnold. Give me Winston over any of these scrubs we’re talking about trading for. At least he’s performed at a high level. He’ll I’d rather rock with TH and KA
 

My thought is, unless the QB we acquire excites free agents WRs to want to play here, he’s not worth giving up the assets 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just play your last few years and retire instead of being a ****ing baby and blaming your team for your short comings. Gimme a break Wilson.

idk why this is surprising. Yeah it’d be nice if they would just follow orders and play where they are but that’s not the world today. 
 

this is becoming the NBA at QB. We all know the value of QBs, and they’re finally coming to realize the power they have. 
 

Brady and Manning both won by going to a new team that was ready to win now. And they were able to bring in their guys and do it their way.

who, at the top of their craft like Wilson or Rodgers, wouldn’t want that? Anyone at that level of play has enough ego (or experience) to believe they could do the same 

Guys we haven’t really seen Winston play post-lasik. This man has been squinting since pee-wee, while putting up heisman numbers and then 5000 yards in the NFL

Put him in a less risk averse offense than the Rex Grossman’s wet dream he played in under Arians and that’s as high upside as you can ask for compared to guys like Mariota, Darnold, etc

I still play 13 on the 360. I actually prefer it to 14, 14 has a new engine, 13 is the golden years
