BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Success rates on OL generalyl come from high draft picks or high spending, we haven't done those instead it's been lots of cheap vet signings and later round picks, which have worked out better than I'd guess their predicted success rate (in that Jones started all last year) , but still not great. If the OL is better it's tallest midget better. To answer that question, uh, all of them? Except for Fields processing of course, but Fields ran because it was the only way to move the ball last year, so if he has better protection from a RT that works out I would expect him to have have more time before he's pressured and better pockets, which should lead to fewer sacks, more completions, less running. Last year was pretty fun to watch but as a modern NFL offense it's not sustainable. Get the QB better protection and we get to see what he can do as a pocket passer, along with a better passing offense which should net more points and wear less on the QB. If you have that PLUS Fields ability to make off concept plays AND Fields ability to break free for a run every now and then you have the makings of something special. We won't really know if the OL doesn't improve, if it's as better as it is right now we will probably see similar QB style play to last year, but with NFL defenses that have more tape and time to prepare for it, which probably includes targeting the heck out of Fields.

Those things are creepy as hell. My inlaws used to live in Tahoe and I came in really late one night in a big storm and had to park way uphill and hike in, and encountered a house on the way that had all living room lights on, shades open, and evey visible wall was floor to ceiling shelves covered with those evil little totems. It was highly upsetting, really felt like I'd wandered into the opening of some existentialist Dutch horror film or something. Apparently they left the house like that evey night so everyone could "enjoy" their collection, which supposedly number in the five figures. That scene was scary for me just to read. I probably would have ran the rest of the way and been extremely disturbing myself on arrival. Out of breath, wet, panicked, knocking hard on door to let me in. On one of my walk routes, this one house at Halloween puts out all these funky dolls doing some kind of demonic seance around a fire. They have scary music playing and weird lighting. Not a fan of it. I cross the street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 If we did trade 53+61 for Chase Young I’d be destroyed. He isn’t the guy he was in 2020, and that was true before he ever even got injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 What is likely my final 2023 mock would probably be my favorite turnout if this somehow landed like this for us. Also perhaps one of my least likely drafts but hey. I had fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually traded around to get those. We’re projected to have either 6+12 or 5+6 or something based on the mock generators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
