NickButera Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Has it ever looked better? Within a few months Zeigler has locked up the core of this team and almost every major position is locked down with an elite player. DE, WR/TE playmakers, LT, QB, we have a good young CB/S core. I was thinking how easy it's going to be to build an elite team over the next 1-2 years. We have a few holes to patch, and because of the positions they are at, it can be done cheaply. It's been fun, reassuring and rewarding as a fan to watch their plan take shape so quickly. How long has it been that we can realistically say we should be in the hunt for a Superbowl run starting next year to year 3? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It certainly looks like they have a defined plan and strategy of attack. It appears they are being methodical and logical. I have hopes that the draft will go much better moving forward but maybe after our 2016 season we looked great moving forward. 2016 moving into the 2017 season we had a young draft class where we hit on a few really good players, franchise QB on a rookie contract, elite looking DE and OLine and a few nice pieces as well. At that point we thought McKenzie was a draft guru so maybe we looked better without the benefit of hindsight but we do look like we know what we’re doing now. Love the organisation, discipline and lack of penalties in the pre season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Our best shot with Adams/Waller to win a Super Bowl will indeed be the 2023 season (next year). Those guys will be 32 and 31 in 2024. We will just need to find a way to fix the OL and add a defensive piece or two, and hope it all works out.

Yeah a lockdown CB in the draft ( cause nobody pounded the table for one) and a starting RT in the FA and our roster looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they played pretty well for the most part. They can't cover forever, which is about a fraction of the time Herbert had to run around and make decisions. Our Run D is solid, but the pass rush was just non-existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we throw names out on the window Chandler Jones was nonexistent today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilshark69 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 When we signed him I was happy we had a plan, however I have been skeptical knowing 5 of his sacks came in 1 game last yr. hopefully improvement to come, slater unfortunately is a beast!

The secondary is fine. 5th best team against WR’s last year and completely shut down Mike Williams, everyones break out darling this season.

Their bias and unprofessionalism is such a turn off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their bias and unprofessionalism is such a turn off. Yeah, what do they even constitute as a "pressure"? He was given 8 yesterday, but I can't think of 8 plays the entire game that Herbert was forced to throw early or even remotely close to being sacked, much less by 1 player.
