The franchise should have given Reggie McKenzie more rope. He inherited an impossible situation after Al Davis died (no picks and a bad roster) and got the team competitive. One bad year and the Davis family canned him and went TV personality.

Conditional 6

Fun game,

Decent move... if we are going to play with 2 ILB, Burks, Summers, and Barnes are leave a lot to be desired.

Yeah, Z is in a tough spot. Nobody is going to throw down on a 30 year old coming off a back injury. I wouldn’t quite hang it up if I was him though. I bet he could get a decent prove it 1 year 6-8m next year which for him is still substantial (53m in his career so far). If he doesn’t perform though, he’s 100% retiring in 23.

If he’s back, that’s the only way. Playing devils advocate, do we want to play the kick the can down the road game with a 30 year old coming off a back injury? The only real incentive to do so would be out of necessity if we are in real cap hell. With AR likely gone, next year is a tear down year anyways.

It’s really tough to see Z back in GB next year now. On the open market, 30 off an injury, he’s probably just getting 1 year incentive deals (which from an ego standpoint he’s not going to like). Either way without both Smiths, we really need to draft like 2 edges high

TJ was seen as a tier 2 edge prospect who wasn’t twitchy/high ceiling (why he went late 1). He was seen as the boring consensus guy 50% of people had us going since he would likely be there and we needed an edge There were rumors Seattle wanted king since they wanted Sherman’s aire (big long corner). what makes the pick worse is we got completely nothing from our extra 4th on Biegel.

I think this is good for him and there is a chance he can catch on and be a TE2 somewhere. He had injuries as a rookie, covid year 2, and then got suspended. Throw in he didn't make the most of his opportunites (had a few drops last year)

Extremely interested in seeing Gary tonight and the next few weeks. How he plays probably dictates will determine if we are 2018 edge dire, or somewhere in the middle next year.

I think the bigger question is what teams were lining up for him…

I think we might be underselling the effect of having fans in the stands and having a Covid offseason last year. AR’s best 2 seasons came during funky no preseason offseasons. We were also 1-2 in games with 25% capacity last year

I am probably in the minority but I’m less concerned about the DL and more worried about our rush. We gave up 4.4 ypc. That’s fine considering what we ask of them. We have a lot invested in edge and outside a few Gary flashes and an erroneous call on Z, we got no production. Z isn’t right, Gary is okay, and Preston is trash. That’s a problem. I don’t understand why in the last decade, why the only 2 players we’ve drafted at arguably the most important spot on D (top 4 rounds) are Gary and Fackrell. It seems like bad team building. It’s the same story every year with our front 7 sucking but we

We want Pettine
