When we had Thurman, he was a mismatch in the passing game for the LB's of his day. Can we draw up some plays where Cook is used in a similar fashion. Cook has impressed me with his ability to change direction in space, which should give defenses a lot to think about if we use him effectively.

Coleman RAC ?? - with his 4.6 speed [or lack thereof]?

Hoecht becoming eligible not an upgrade? seems like he's a bit of a swiss army knife piece. e.g. Lorax 2.0

Until you look at our cap space. 😞

If you look at the newpaper articles, Kim and Terry surround McD in the hiring photo and Whaley is to the left of Kim, so I expect she had a lot of input.

Coleman can't get separation, no separation puts your passing game at higher risk of INT's and 3 and outs.

This could turn into a shootout as neither defense is very good, but the offenses are competent. Hopefully Josh shakes off the last two games and comes out of the bye with his superman cape on.

At the end of the day, team speed is something to admire.

With Miami in meltdown mode, is a draft choice trade for Douglas a possibility. He's grading much higher [6th among CB's] than any of our DB's. Did McBeane miscalculate this?

From what I see with us going with 2 and sometimes 3 TE's we are using Shakir as our Z, he's played nearly 100 snaps (25%) as a flanker. We have about the same number of snaps YTD with 2 or 3 TE's as we do with 3 WR's.

I also think that Shaq Thompson is a welcome addition at LB against Dowdle and Hubbard. A bit more beef in the front 7. This will likely be a trial by fire for Deone Walker against a stacked Panthers running game.

Yeah the dropoff in performance by Benford and Taron is especially noticeable. Benford has gone from a top 10 CB to bottom qtr of the league, Taron was a top 20 CB two years ago and now just a journeyman. Rapp is in the Bottom 5 of every down safeties in the league with equally bad coverage and run stop grades. Hopefully Shaq Thompson will continue his high level of play.

A worry I see is Mitch Evans, rookie tight end out of Notre Dame currently ranks #1 among TE's in PFF. 6'5 260 so a BIG tight end. Considering we have the much maligned Rapp assigned to cover tight ends, looks like a mismatch.

When a player is suspended, they are allowed to practice with teammates and play in preseason games. For the first half of their suspension, they aren’t allowed to show up at the team’s facility. However, they are allowed to appear at the facility during the second half of their suspension in order to ramp up their work and get ready to resume playing.

Which O. lineup would scare a DC more: Allen, Cook, Shakir, Coleman, Kincaid Mahomes, Pacheco, Hollywood, X. Worthy, Kelce Just throwing that out there.
