He's being misused. Kingsbury’s committing to Air Raid stuff too much

Slept on it, decided to blame Kingsbury and will blame him indefinitely

What’s interesting to me is that our gameplan is probably the exact same as the 49ers game cause this WFT is really similar when you consider where the talent is on this team

Our defense to me feels like we’re trying to do what the NBA values now. A bunch of guys who can be switchy, guys who can cover and blitz and stop the run. Cause Kennard, Campbell, Reddick, and Simmons can all seemingly play multiple positions... albeit not always very good, but they can

Pass the Kool-Aid

Copied from my post in the news thread: Got hurt with a pretty minor injury but we liked our depth chart last year so we just IR’d him. From what I remember they said he has everything athletically but hands weren’t up to speed. Couldn’t jump Keesean Johnson or Andy Isabella then Trent Sheffield is a special teams ace. Made it tough for him to find a spot It’s also telling how he hasn’t been picked up by anyone

Don’t get it twisted, Budda is a very good player who is incredibly important to our defense. He could continue to develop into making this contract look good. But right now it is an overpay. Also, Jamal Adams and Derwin are surely both going to pass this contract very soon

Yes

He’s started getting some respect. Made the top 100 this year and has been put in a lot of top 10 safety rankings this year. I was expecting us to pay him top 5 safety money but tops in the league? Yeesh He hasn’t stopped developing yet though and here’s to hoping he continues to trend in the right direction

Ultimately our defense is going to be very switchy. Lots of guys comfortable in coverage or to stay in the box and rush the passer. We might see a package of Chandler Jones, Devondre Campbell, Isaiah Simmons, and Devon Kennard at certain points in time, especially on passing downs. Obviously Jones will be rushing the passer, but the rest have the ability to cover or blitz. It's a defensive coordinator's wet dream to confuse an offense and we have an opportunity to confuse a lot of offenses with the personnel that we have. The biggest hope that I have is that Phillips is the real deal. If he can be talented enough to at least consistently win one on ones. That opens up the entire defense. The offense is going to score, its just a matter of the defense holding their own. 9-7 is my prediction.

tbfh I live in Arizona now

I’m trying really hard to not get myself more optimistic than 8-8 It’s tough though when pretty much every move we’ve made this offseason has been a for sure improvement over what we had, even if it doesn’t work out as planned.

Gotta say, I could not have envisioned this draft going much better for us.

I believe Sweezy is back. Not that I'm saying that with a ton of confidence, but he had a solid year last year. Particularly in run blocking I remember him being rock solid. Right now we would trot out a line of Hump-Pugh-Cole-Sweezy-Murray/Gilbert. Which isn't bad, not good, but we've had a lot worse. I think Wirfs would make the most sense though. While I'd love to see us get Ceedee, I think we gotta go either OL or defense.
