scottishpatriot Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Lots of positives and I feel better about the game planning and play calling aside from the lack of aggressiveness at the end. A lot better performance than I had expected and yet that makes the loss harder to take. Both this and Baltimore could have been shocking upsets. 2-2 would feel a world different from 1-3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came away thinking 'if only Mac wasn't injured'. NFL Gen might not agree, but we win that with Mac, IMO. Not that Zappe was bad, but in key moments we needed a bit of experience on offense. We did get lucky on the play clock call and the Doubs drop - those go the other way, like they would on average, it's a blowout. But as it stands, really strong performance. Classic BB, we just don't have the offense to take advantage. That's us in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have won with Mac, assuming the game plan was similar with less slinging unless absolutely required. I'm worried that that was one of the D's better performances all year and we can't afford to waste any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishpatriot Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I know Tavai gets some hate on here but he had a couple of good plays, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lack of speed was highlighted on a couple plays. But overall he was decent. Not sure about Mack Wilson so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of Taval however I thought he had a great game compared to Wilson, he replaced. IMO he should play over Wilson going forward.

1ForTheThumb Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I'm happy with this rookie class so far. Glad to see Jack Jones finally playing more- guy is an impact player. I think we found one here and he's got a knack for creating turnovers. So happy they canned the Bryant returning experience. Marcus Jones already looks great in that department. Now we just need Bryant to be benched as a slot corner. So tired of seeing this guy toasted. Cannon needs to start in replace of Wynn. How many drives is this guy going to kill with his penalties? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fun thumper ala Bentley but he can't guard the outside like Wilson can. Wilson on the other hand has the athleticism but can get turned around unfortunately. I still really like Wilson but he's not a full time guy unfortunately. The LB experiment as a whole hasn't worked sadly.. we can expect ILB and OLB to be talked about a lot again this upcoming offseason. Looks like they are resigning Jamie Collins too.. furthering the point that BB isn't happy with the LB's. Henry To'oto'o here we come!

Agreed, lots of contributions and we haven't even truly seen Marcus Jones / Tyquan Thornton yet. This draft could look amazing if they pop off. 33 minutes ago, 1ForTheThumb said: Cannon needs to start in replace of Wynn. How many drives is this guy going to kill with his penalties? I worry about Cannon holding up the entire season. Wynn needs to make something happen though .. otherwise he's not getting any money in free agency. It is in his best interest to put in work and look great the rest of the season if he wants to get paid. I want that comp pick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he has athleticism however he has no clue how to use it on the field. Reminds me of Dylan Moses. What's that saying, All bronze...

Hunter2_1 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Wynn's got to go. A bust, I'd say. I would target LT in the first round in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a bust for sure. Struggles to stay healthy and his play has regressed. I'm on the team start Cannon. Agreed, tackle is probably the biggest need going into next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6BFEx5yb58 Haven't watch much yet but he really sticks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6BFEx5yb58 Haven't watch much yet but he really sticks out. It's a real shame that Andrew Steuber got injured as soon as he got drafted. I would have really enjoyed seeing him compete for that RT spot. He seems very much like the steady RT they would like on this team.. he isn't going to be hyper athletic but he's strong and could be an above average RT for awhile from what he showed at Michigan. I hope he's able to get healthy and compete for that RT spot next year. Given that Trent Brown is signed for another year it gives them a bit more time to draft a guy who needs a year to transition. I haven't heard much of anything about this OT class, so i'm not feeling amazing about it right now. As much as I want a LT, I don't want to reach if you can get an elite talent at a different position. We can look at their draft history a little bit though: Michigan / Georgia are two schools that they've gone to the well for often to find OL. Broderick Jones I think is an OT at Georgia but I haven't watched him They have so many needs for elite talent that they've just got to go with whoever drops to them.. they can't focus on a position unfortunately. - LT / WR / DL / OLB / ILB / FS could all be 1st round "needs" If things go REALLLLY south, get prepared to hear about Chasen Hines though.. put him in at RG and Onwenu at RT. The only reason why I wouldn't do that already is that I hate messing with Onwenu so much. He's done well this season and I think they should just extend him already and lock up both OG spots for the next 4 years. Cannon and Wynn are both injury prone though.. so we could easily see this scenario at some point out of necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High choice. 11 hours ago, Crimmage said: Broderick Jones I think is an OT at Georgia This is just off the top of my head. I have to look at Geogia OL in the NFL. Two come to mind is Wynn and NYG Thomas. Big disappointments in the NFL. Geogia is a predominate run team maybe the OL players are not good pass protectors? Not sure but its a thought. I tend to look at the program when I look at the draft. EX OL = BC, Mich. 11 hours ago, Crimmage said: Chasen Hines though.. put him in at RG and Onwenu at RT. 11 hours ago, Crimmage said: they should just extend him already Two good points. Sign Onwenu that way he not upset if they move him around. IMO it was a major mistake moving Wynn to RT when he's on the last year of his contract.
