Some (a lot?) of that wait with Brown was due to his back injury that prevented him from training in 2022 offseason and missed most of 2022 camp. Really a lost season even though he played.
What are you trading to move up? They need at least 1 DT, S, likely a DE as well and you hope, but can’t expect, to find strong contributors in round 5 and later.
I do like what I’ve seen of him. Big and strong hands. Doesn’t look slow, either.
I think you are counting on Shakir too much. Gabe Davis looked like he was breaking out, but he topped out. I think you HAVE to find a very talented rookie WR and if Shakir really does break out, that’s gravy.
Would it make you feel better if he was yelling and pounding the table? C’mon, they DID get eliminated- like 31 other teams. The idea that it is win the Super Bowl else season is a total failure is talk-show induced bs. Yeah, we wanted them to win. Fans of all 32 teams want their team to win.
We would have been happy to put off such discussions, but I was satisfied that the team dug out of the hole at 6-6 and won a playoff game. I think key injuries on the D really gave them less than their best chance against KC and no team can control injuries. I thought they did a commendable job staying the course with those injuries.
I know it’s just a rumor, but I don’t even like that the idea has been floated. Derrick Henry would not fix a thing for this team - not with all the beatings he took in Tenn.
I am afraid you could be right. The defense has been knee-capped by injuries to the point that you can't expect them to do more than hang-on for dear life and the offense looks incapable of fixing their problems. Missing Knox and Morris when they spent the whole offseason working on 2 TE sets is a problem, but none of the WR besides Diggs is of much use and that's a bigger problem.
