Robinson looked sooooo good on Saturday. I think he has already won me over. He runs hard and seems to protect the football. I even think he has some underrated wiggle in him. Gibsons fumblitis really stresses me out. It can definitely be the difference in a win or a loss. Like his devastating fumble inside our own 5 yard line vs the Chargers. I assumed he spent all offseason correcting the issue. Doesn't seem like it though 😢

I'd kinda love to see Jamin Davis play a hybrid/buffalo nickel role against big slots and as an edge blitzer. He'd fit perfect in that role. 

 

Issue there is we don't have a ILB to pair with Holcomb that is coverage capable at all. 

 

LOVE Dotson, wouldn't change him for a thing. But it makes you wonder how cool it would be to have Devin Lloyd (who can also do the hybrid thing).

 

Again, I want to reiterate because I know how a lot of you are

 

I'm not saying I wish we took Lloyd over Dotson. We needed a receiver, we took a receiver, and we got ourselves a damned good one. I don't want to take that back. I'm asking in a world where Dotson was off the board hypothetically how fun it would be to have Lloyd. 

Do you think we should try to get Landon Collins to come back on a reasonable deal? He was extremely good at the Buffalo nickel spot, imo.

When was the last time we had a real great start to a season? 2008 with the 6-2 start with wins in Philly and Dallas early? People point to 2018 but even the 6-3 start felt like a mirage and unsustainable style of play.

 

It'd be awesome to be like 8-3 heading into December/January and actually be playing for a shot at a high seed and multiple home playoff games.

I'd be ecstatic just to start 3 - 1 or 5 - 2. It seems like we're always trying to dig out of 0 - 5, 1 - 6, or 2 - 7 type of starts. It's completely and utterly infuriating. Leaves zero margin for error. The odds of winning 6 in a row to get into the playoffs are slim to none. With the two teams with the worst records last year ( although either or both could beat us ) as our first two games,  I find it absolutely imperative to start 2 - 0. Anything else would be a failure.

Not much presence again on the top 100 list.  Doesn't seem to matter who does them, PFF, media, players, etc.  We got just one with Allen at 88.  I think this will change though finally after this season.  Not that having top ranked players is the be all and end all -- but IMO and some others, not having marquee star power guys has been a minor part albiet a part of this team's demise with fans especially younger ones. 

 

 

 

Does anyone think Mclaurin should be top 100?? It's certainly debatable.

Once again, Dak doesn't play one dag on snap. Was hoping to see Dak vs Russell Wilson for maybe one quarter but nope. Did he even play one snap in the preseason last year? Almost everyone is playing their starters for 1 quarter or so but not precious Dak. Wrapped in bubble wrap again. I guess it just annoys me that my starters are taking some injury risk but never Dak. Nope, won't even play one series 😡

Comments like this are what make this board so difficult to read.

 

Cole ran a 4.48 40 with the highest marks for a LB in the three cone and broad jump.

 

His greatest asset his his speed/athleticism.  He definitely isn't "slow AF"

Yes, that " Holcomb is slow " comment had me scratching my head. Very strange thing to say. One can argue if he is a good linebacker or not but his speed is legit.

Didn't JDR have top 10 defenses basically his entire career? Although he's a coach, I feel like he may have to be added to the highly successful elsewhere players who disappointmented after coming here. Such as Josh Norman, Dana Stubblefield, Albert Haynesworth, etc 😡😡

It's fair market value. Win-Win but I know what you're saying. Everyone expected +100M commitment. He clearly wants a second contract in 3 yrs.

Watching that gif makes me sad for Craig Robinson. He gained like 100 pounds. I can't talk though, I'm pretty much doing the same thing 😢

There was a post a few pages back which counters this argument and shows video evidence where TM had a Diggs Deas to rights and the ball didn’t get there or wasn’t thrown.

 

Of course, who am I to fault our HOF level backup QB.  

Diggs still did pretty good overall. He did better than most db's do vs Terry. Even in Bullocks couple of plays, he wasn't torched. He was in the vicinity. I've seen Terry carve up so many dbs and make them look absolutely foolish. Even with terrible qbs throwing him the ball. That wasn't the case in the two Dallas games.

I swear I recently saw a twitter breakdown where Terry absolutely toasted Diggs last season but the throws were horrible or nonexistent. That’s not the most impressive thing in the world though as Diggs isn’t lockdown at all, he gave up a historic amount of yardage in between his INT’s. He’s a worse gambler than Deangelo Hall. I’d still argue it’s a net positive for his team because big turnovers more than make up for the yardage given up as long as you have a QB who can score on offense, and Diggs does. 

I saw a video put together of about 5 plays on twitter and Diggs was stuck to Mclaurin like glue on all of them. Granted that was only a few plays. I didn't see the one you're referring to.

I really hope Terry gets the best of Diggs this coming season. I'm sick of hearing Dallas fans run their mouths. To be fair, Diggs really did lock him down last season. Granted TH and his weak arm may have had an impact at times. However if you watch the tape and you're being 100% honest and objective about it, Terry failed miserably at getting separation from Diggs. We have to give credit where credit is due. Even if it is a Cowboy, unfortunately. Hopefully Terry can shut them up twice in the 2022 season.

Both Bosa Brothers had more sacks their rookie year then Young did, hell, one of them only played 12 games and still had over 10 sacks.

 

He's not on their level, he was supposed to be, but he's not.  I feel like the only way to keep myself from getting anymore angry about it then I am is to move to the acceptance stage of grief now.

 

You don't have to prolong this and act suprised this December, we all have a choice here.

 

He can still be good jus not on their level.  I'll accept Young being a ten sack a year guy at this point, any less he has to go.

I agree, unfortunately. I wish he were on the Bosa level. Hell I wish he were on the TJ Watt level. That'd be fantastic! Or Aaron Donald ( granted they play different positions ) However isn't that the type of beast you want and deserve with a #2 pick??? Right now, I don't even know if Chase Young is better than Montez Sweat and that's very sad and disappointing.

Ja'Marr Chase ( had to google that spelling ) might be more talented than both of them combined.  

Serious question, who is the better NFL player? Chase Roullier or Chase Young? I think our center is highly underrated. He's very good.

I like that Peter King doesn't like Snyder but outside of that his hate for this team is a constant and a bit boring.

 

But the Eagles hype seems to be everywhere.

9. Philadelphia (9-9, lost to Tampa Bay in the wild-card round)

I see the Eagles as the best team in the East. I see Jalen Hurts doing enough to be a C-plus quarterback, with the addition of A.J. Brown. I see the receiving corps of Brown, DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins and Zach Pascal being good enough to make the Eagles a top-10 offense. I see Haason Redick returning to the scene of his prime (he played college football at Temple) and James Bradberry fortifying a corner depth chart to make this the best defense in the NFC East.

What I like about what the Eagles have done this offseason is this: They’ve created a team with a legitimate chance of winning now, with a legitimate offense to make a judgment on Jalen Hurts as the future quarterback. GM Howie Roseman has done it while still retaining enough pieces for the future to address the quarterback position if he needs in 2023. Roseman has three picks in the first two rounds next year, and three picks in the first two rounds of 2024. He’s done his job: He’s built a team for 2022, and he’s built a team that can do a U-turn in 2023 if need be.

The Eagles are better on both sides of the ball than they were in January, and that was capped by the Bradberry signing. In the end, they have a chance to win a game in January. The biggest addition was Brown, and I think he can be the difference in two or three games. “A.J. was a DNA match with us,” Roseman told me after the trade. “He was exactly what we were looking for in a receiver, and he matched our culture.” Good add.

 

 

24. N.Y. Giants (4-13, out of the playoffs)

With a manageable schedule, and a QB-friendly head coach in Brian Daboll, and a receiving corps that at least starts camp with a chance to be impactful, and the first time in years the Giants can look at an offensive line with two high-achieving tackles (Andrew Thomas, Evan Neal), Daniel Jones actually has a chance to be the quarterback he was drafted to be in 2019. Daboll and Joe Schoen aren’t lying when they say they think Jones has a chance to be the guy for the future. While odds are against it, Jones is set up to have the best chance he’s had to be a middle-of-the-pack quarterback. If he’s that, the Giants could win seven. Amazing, isn’t it, that this franchise who snuffed out New England’s Super Bowl twice in the last 15 years hasn’t won a playoff game in a decade—and a seven-win season would get the locals fired up. 

 

26. Washington (7-10, out of the playoffs)

Mike Florio said this first, and I loved it: Carson Wentz is in the perfect spot for the 2022 Carson Wentz. He has no godfather in Washington. To review: Wentz entered the NFL under the fatherly wing of Doug Pederson, then went rogue against Pederson, then landed under the fatherly wing of Frank Reich, then underachieved and got fired after one season in Indy, then got traded to Washington. He’s with strangers. He’s got to prove himself to new people, and he has a decent crew of receivers (Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel) to help prove himself. That’ll be a fun subplot for another building season in D.C.

Peter thinks that is only a " decent " wr crew? Geez, what would be a " good " wr crew in his mind? Rice, Moss, and T.O.? Man, he has high standards. I think our wr crew is VERY good.

It sure would be nice if all of the potential and hype of this defense would finally come to fruition. I think the offense has a chance of being really good in 2022. Add a good defense and maybe we can all have a great season and be happy for once.

I personally would love to play Detroit on Thanksgiving. What's better than turkey, rolls, and football? Turkey, rolls, and your favorite team! It's a bit unique too because it's not Dallas. We've played Dallas on Tgiving seemingly 5 or 6 times in the last 15 years. I don't remember the last time we played Detroit on Thanksgiving. It had to have been a very long time ago. Also, our chances of having a happy holiday increases mightily vs Goff instead of Washington destroyer Dak. I hope the rumor is true 😁 

I wonder if we'll play primetime night games vs Indy and Philly. For intrigue reasons due to Wentz. The good news is, Washington has improved a little bit in primetime games, the last 3 years or so.

Its not insane. ZComm is a big time Heinicke fan and if he is going to go down he’s going down fighting. I respect it.

You really don't think it would be insane to cut Heinecke and go with a completely and utterly unproven rookie qb as your #2 qb? A dude who will need to learn the playbook, system, and adjust to the huge difference in speed of the game?  I think it would be absolutely preposterous to get rid of Taylor. I'm pretty sure Ron and Scott would agree. TH has his limitations as a starting qb in the NFL but he is a durn good backup. One who knows the offense in and out. One who has proven he can win some games at this level. He's not going anywhere anytime soon. I'd bet my life on it.

Why is what hes saying so insane? A 40 year old beat out heinicke for the starting role last year one thats a 20-25 guy when he plays his best football at that.....its not so far fetched a 5th round rookie whom is much younger can as well...

I think it would be ludicrous. He's far more game ready ( NFL wise ) right now than Sam. I'm hoping Wentz has a good season. However, like all players, he's one hit away from being on the sidelines. TH is invaluable as a backup qb.

Every season I watch atleast one team jump out to a 4 - 0 record or 6 - 1 or something. I am always so friggin jealous because my team always starts the season with a garbage record. Like 0 - 5 or 1 - 3 or  2 - 6. It's infuriating. I see those other teams who have enough leeway to lose two or three games in a row and still be in good shape. Meanwhile my team is in such a tremendous hole, they have to win 5 straight games just to have a chance to make the postseason. I really hope and pray that this year is different. With the presumably easier schedule and the offensive firepower, maybe just maybe things will be different.

Does anyone think Erickson is better than Deandre Carter? As a special teams guy or a wide receiver. Just curious.

Is this even a rivalry anymore? Its bad enough that they've owned us for pretty much the past 25 years (a timeframe where neither team has even gotten to the NFCCG), but now we don't even have the Cowboys vs Indians angle.

It's so disgusting how badly they have owned us. Dak's 9 - 1 career record vs Washington is so incredibly disheartening 😡 Desperately hope that changes this season.

I think I'd like to open the season with a divisional game. Doesn't matter to me which one of the 3 teams. As long as we start 1 - 0, 1 - 0.

This is all I need to see, I am sure @KDawg agrees.  Time to make Howell #2.

 

Actually in all seriouness, Riddick mentions Howell starting this season.  He's not the only one.  So with all the backdrop I bet if Wentx doesn't catch fire right away (I am optimistic about Wentz's season though) i bet we here more Howell talk.

 

 

 

 

lol, yeah me too.

 

I don't care if a team wants to believe in whatever. Most teams naturally believe that their new guy beats the old guy they let go.  But the level of obnoxiouness from the Colts on this is off the charts.  I usually go to one road game a year, I am heavily leaning the Indy game right now.

Someone on twitter saw that pass and said " easily picked, telegraphed the whole way, ball tap, lets the defenders know when it's coming, team won't win a game. "  Holy crap. I don't even know where to begin with this one. It's one of the most ludicrous comments that I've seen in a long time. Criticizing him a week after the draft, because of a pass in practice? Then saying we won't win any games? Geez, talk about hyperbole. Smh.

I saw a tweet saying Howell is Heinicke 2.0. What the crap? Doesn't Sam have a great arm and arguably the best deep ball of anyone in the draft? I like several attributes of TH but his deep ball is hideous. With guys like Terry, Curtis, Dyami, and Jahan, I think Wentz and eventually Howell's strong arms will make a world of difference. Atleast I hope and pray so. Is it too much to ask for the first 11 win season in 3 decades? Is it too much to ask for just one playoff victory for the first time in 14 years? I know the front office has been unethical and probably criminal over the last couple of decades but that's not our fault! We fans deserve some happiness for once! In a fair world, Wentz will be really good for 3 or 4 years and Howell will be a franchise qb for 10 - 13 years! I probably am asking too much 😢

Heck, Bruce (for all of his faults) moved on quickly from Kirk and never said anything bad about him publicly after trading for Alex.  Randy Mueller (former NFL GM) was on twitter and said why are the Colts continuing to badmouth Wentz?  He was like just move on.  It seems pretty classless.  Just say something to the effect of it didn't work out and we wish him the best.

Definitely classless. Maybe even unprecedented for a front office to talk this much trash about a qb, after trading them. It's a bit outta control.

The NFL is weird in that somehow there are bad teams who somehow match up really well. The Giants, by and large, have been a bad team for a long time. As bad and probably worse than Washington. Still, they've had our number. For whatever reason, we really struggle against them.

That's so true. It's really inexplicable.

I don't doubt that, in fact its quite true.

 

What I'm saying is there are far better examples of Wentz disparaging than Ballad saying they would have to partake in some hard conversations about QB even if they reached the playoffs. What happened in that game, or previous games does not matter too much in such a discussion. The Colts history w/ the Jags has no effect on what Ballad said yesterday not being nearly as incendiary as some of the other stuff that has been spoken. By comparison his words were tepid at best.

 

 

This is the second time someone has tried to rationalize that game in a response to my line of thinking about Ballads words. If multiple people see my claim about his interview as some kind of statement that purely focuses on Indy getting beat by Jax, then I'll have to be clearer in the future as that was not my intent at all.

I wasn't suggesting that you were saying that. I just said that on my own volition because the Jaguar stuff annoys me. I get what you are/were saying.

Dude was asked point blank in an interview if Wentz would still be on the team if they beat Jax. He responded by saying the team would have likely had some tough conversations and choices due to poor play late in the season.

 

That's like burying a guy w/ a toy shovel. Your not even going to get deeper than his ankles.

 

 

Compared to the other stuff this is nothing. We had reports about the coach apologizing for sticking his neck out for the guy. That is burying someone, not this.

Evidently Jacksonville has beaten them for the last 6 seasons. So Andrew Luck and Philip Rivers struggled vs them too. I wonder why they weren't heavily criticized about it like Carson has been.
