oh no worries just thought I’d share extra through’s. A coats super appreciated a few weeks a year but that’s a lot of money for some families for just a few weeks.

I’ll contain it to the top 4 WR still as that was the claim - written another way… are we thinking rookie WR7 is a top 15 receiver in the league and Samuel is an upgrade of note despite being much cheaper than the guy he’s replacing? i think both players will have fun flashes but I think saying this is our best group is perhaps…. Optimistic.

if Shakir is a massive piece he’s going to be too expensive and this was the year to draft likely developmental guy to replace him in 2 years (similar to Davis and Shakir requiring 2 years to be trusted)

you think Coleman-Shakir-Samuel-hollins is “as good as anyone we have had here in some time”?

also, sure his contract expired but at that tier, a team can basically own the decision with any modest offer. So that he’s here means they definitely let him walk. not to speak for Kirby but I think sometimes there are a few of us that express frustration and people read that as 3-14 doom and gloom instead of unlikely to overtake the champion and win one ourselves doom and gloom. I fully expect us to be very competitive as long as Josh holds up in one piece. Though I think we will need to ask him to shoulder more and for longer to make results happen this year and that’s worrisome.

a few thoughts- doesn’t have to be his home town certainly get some chilly days. We had some stretches in the 20s this year. Not just being uncommon but also being a damp windy cold can be real unpleasant. And plenty of places are designed to filter heat away from people to combat the summer (high ceilings, not great heat systems etc…) last up- if uncertain how to put food on the table are you skipping meals to buy a coat for a short winter or just telling kids to layer up with some undershirts and a hoodie?

He’s comparing this years bills to last years contenders not this years contenders I think until proven otherwise we are the weakest group on that list but that doesn’t mean it’s an insurmountable gap- Kincaid steps forward, Coleman shows up and we can be in the mix with Josh. But it underscores that we are a half step behind and it’ll likely be an uphill battle.

A winter coat drive seems natural next time but this is amazing

at this point I’m here for him taking out teammates to the clubs and other distractions- im not sure he’s an actual net positive for them

You could do much worse as a 90th guy on the roster, but I’m not super thrilled either

Yea the competition for the 53rd could be him and hamler for instance Not the same group but I wouldn’t be shocked

he’s the definition of not even buying a lotto ticket but finding one… not great odds but you never know what could’ve fallen out of someone’s pocket. You aren’t making financial decisions or quitting your job based on simply possessing it though

the skin was sometimes single ply thin and that’s not going to work in this setting

it’s one of the first times in years there’s been a discrepancy in predicting them and it was 2 guys by 1 round. while imperfect it’s still about 98% forecastable

With Josh it’s always possible. Health and a few good bounces would go a long way towards that though.

Current stance: none of them excite me or materially move the needle. I would wait til camp and see about cuts, late trades and if we have any injuries. someone will roll an ankle but whether that is cook or Samuel changes need quite drastically and around cut day I think the available talent will also be better. once upon a time I thought we would consider a guy like Simmons June 1 but now? Probably wait til august before considering anything noteworthy.

to be fair, most posters could pick a promising player at each area of need that’s not the hard part

I think we just have to hope there’s a bit of “he’s a guard” at play and then watch cordy actually play LT. while I’ve been challenging people on this pick, as it doesn’t fit the mold, my fingers are still crossed. It’s not purely hope and prayer either but its a challenging one on paper.

You can scheme it up and maybe improve deep but if they don’t fear you getting over them, the underneath has a knack for getting tight.

but that said, after breaking the tackle he may be asked to run numerous yards in a straight line- or a horizontal play could have him running many yards across the field. My point was it’s not just go routes where you see that speed breaking a tackle can make up for it though, as you note

I don’t think he will be targeted 40 yards downfield a ton but I do think he will be asked to run plenty of crossers, etc… in addition to those deep routes. I also hope occasionally he will catch the ball short and be asked to run a long distance Yea- I think a lot of people are forgetting how much Josh had to do down the stretch. We really need a big step forward, not just breaking even

then why doesn’t he get separation, alpha?

700 yards is 41 per game heck, if the guy hits 100 twice that’s 33 per game the rest of the way

our offense can’t run through Josh for 20 games. He won’t make it.

it’s the “we don’t know if shorter is viable” insurance more than a “we think he will play regularly” signing
