Always blame Reid imo.

Jimmy really is the ideal Qb for Shanny's offense.
There's a reason Hall was available middle of the season. We need a competent safety going into next year. Ward can't seemed to stay health for any significant stretch.

JD, TH - amazing breakdowns. Can't even describe how useful this weekly thread is.

Humble request, do either of you have a gif of the PI call on Johnson? We need to send that to Saleh so he can finally see that DJ is not the answer lol.

Saleh talked about his trail technique and all of our CB's do it. Johnson is exceptionally bad at it though from his positioning, technique and execution.

Ideally, he'd be in better position like Witherspoon and not have to rely on that (blind) technique and actually make a play on the ball but Johnson just isn't that talented so when he uses it, every smart WR just jumps back towards the ball and it's a P.I. 100% of the time.

A good pass rush will solve half of those defensive breakdowns.

After the Edge Rusher, my next priority would be that DB.

It looks so terrible. It's soooo bad looking you can't even blame the refs for calling it every single time too.

Yes sir...however, this is the worst year to acquire a true ER...Lawrence is the best but I doubt the Cowboys let him walk. Chubb is more ideal for BE. Maybe the best route will be to go CB first and a developmental ER you can use on obvious passing downs (and still use our bigger personnel on early downs for run defense primarily).

I mean it would be pass interference in Pop Warner for the 8-9 year olds. At some point Saleh has to adjust and tell Johnson to not play the ball at all if he's in trail technique, or gets beat and happens to be trailing.

I totally agree. I leave it up to you draft nerds to tell me what to think!

I just went to Walter Football and there are some promising developmental edge rushers in this years draft that I think will be available in the 1st through 3rd rounds. Haley was a 4th and Dean was *not* a first round pick, neither was Michael Strahan. Just match up the edge rusher with the correct type of DT and that edge rusher will be very productive for us in the Saleh defense. I truly believe that. *Either* Buckner or Solomon fit that DT role, we just need the matching pair LEO that best fits with Buckner/Solomon. I don't think it's coincidence that Buckner and Solomon almost seem so similar. If we have two legit LEO's and two legit DT gap penetrators, and one on each side of the center, then you have our '84 nickel defense all over again --> Dwain Board - Big End/ Michael Carter - DT/ Gary Johnson - 3Tech/ Fred Dean - LEO.

Given how many times he's been benched, he's probably not getting it. LOL

Believe me, I am no college expert...I lean heavily on guys like MadDog, Sun, Phoenix, etc. and a host of others, then watch the film and match up our team needs. I'm ready for this off season to begin.
