Sojourner

We made the trip to London a few years ago for the Jags game. Not to take anything away from the fans attending as they are just as passionate as any but I got the feeling that half of the stadium is there just for the sake of being there, there’s plenty moments I wonder if they know why they are cheering. More often than not it felt like the stadium is just hanging out, waiting for the next “Mexican wave”.

“This game can’t be that bad for another quarter. Surely?” /game gets worse/

Need to start getting Sutton involved. Their 2 losses this year he was either not involved (Colts) or was left with little to no targets late in the game after being greatly productive during the first half (Chargers). Id be interested to see what Sutton could do if he averaged Puka numbers or 10+ targets per game.

Fields seems to rack up most of his yardage when the team is behind and he’s priced to pass. That’s in part due to his offensive coordinator but game script too. Don’t blame it though, he’s either red hot or falls flat airing it out lol

Soft holding penalty for the safety?

Once in a while the games are decent but yeah, I can’t believe I watch these instead of doing something else before the rest of the games kick off.

Lol for sure! Skattebrain!

Is Dart going to be the real deal???

Heck of a catch. Interesting play.

Who would you take from those teams? For the Jets; Williams, Sauce and Wilson aren’t going anywhere unless it’s serious capital going their way. Titans; Simmons, McCreary and Sneed. Who knows there. That team might move one of them. Van Jefferson is interesting to me but he’s just a role player who I don’t think you can define as consistently good.

Seems the 3rd rounders don’t work out. Let’s use a first!

Agree. If he doesn’t make it this year it should be time. The only thing I’ve ever held against McD was the 13 seconds debacle. If that doesn’t turn it into a SB appearance then I’ll revert to people being right that he should have gone then with or without Frazier. Sad because he’s built a winning culture and a standard of expectations for a Lombardi. Sure Josh is a significant part of that but it’s like they say; it takes a village.

It is interesting, I’m a fan of Newsome. Thought he’d turn into a more consistent player than he has. 2 years ago he was solid and seems to be having a bounce back year like you said. Might be a wash in terms of player for player if Campbell can start getting his hands on the ball and disrupting play as he seems like a decent tackler from the Jags games I’ve watched over the last few years. Unlikely on shopping Ward for anything less than a first or second rounder. He’s their best player in their secondary and only a few years into that extension which made him the highest paid CB. It’s really Ward and Delpit, not much else.

Yup. I was encouraged by the pressure they applied against the Pats. Should have correlated to more stops on the backend.

Understandable. I tell my wife “F you” sometimes when I actually mean “I love you boo”.

Damn, Diggs did that much damage on only half of their snaps? Yikes! Whilst I agree on that, the coaching stuff must want to give him reps because they like him/what he could offer down the road. The only thing I can think of is that an average guy like him in the league can get better is with more reps.

Bailing out Maye? He was wide open and he made the throws. The coverage from our secondary was what “bailed” them out. Don’t like the Pats but they played a great game that we sadly came out on the wrong end of.

Larry O over his career has been productive. Wouldn’t mind him being the rotational piece with Walker. Use him on early downs and sub in Deone when they can. Problem then becomes Sanders. Would rather they get some playing time for a guy drafted where he was.

Yup. Sloppy play caused it. Usually we are on the other side of the ball. Crazy we can have that and still be in the positions to win. My only concern with the offense going forward is the last 2 games Josh is leaning on his propensity to force things with his arm again instead of forcing things with his legs. Hopefully that gets cleaned up. There’s been at least 5 or 6 INTs on the season he’s gotten away with.

All in would equate to who or what? Im all for it but I can’t see any team trading their big names for what we need most to push this team to the crème de la crème of the league. Funnily enough, we are in there right now. Just a few blemishes.

For sure but the Diggs trade did work out. Got serious production out of him during the regular seasons and first playoff year; Colts & Ravens. Wouldnt have even had to move up to get Jefferson which is the worst part. Even then, we might have landed Jalen Raegor or Brandon Aiyuk or even Tee Higgins. Hindsight is 20/20 like they say. Hopefully they do something in the 2026 draft. That kid from Texas Tech would be nice, Williams? Don’t think he’s doing much this year due to an injury but he was awesome the year prior. Maybe he falls to where we pick? Something tells me we go LB, Safety or OL.

The point in question is whether you could eat the 12oz steak yourself. There isn’t a dominant guy for Josh to throw the ball to.

Youre right. I was looking at the snap counts and he is an unquestioned starter. The fact Humphrey picked up a slight injury and Alexander is missing several games negates any chance he moves. I was simply thinking about them signing a one year deal and could move him if the season is a shambles. Im with you on Strong. I don’t think it’s as big a need once the two rookies are back from their injuries. The struggle will be making do until then.

Not disputing that and wasn’t stating in anyway I felt bad either lol Mike Brown is awful as an owner for the exact reasons you’ve stated. It sucks, plain and simple. Merely pointing that out that they’ve missed a great opportunity with Burrow being out.

That’s fair and you are probably right, I wouldn’t dismiss it entirely. Firmly believe they would entertain trading either Alexander once Humphrey comes back from injury. Awuzie would be the preferred but unlikely choice of the two. Both are on one year deals and if their season truly is in the pan by the end of week 9, 2-7 record, why not? For the record, and I’m in the minority here, I’m not jumping at any trades. The only one I would advocate is a top end WR which probably isnt happening due to salary issues. I think Strong/Hairston can pick the coverage up once they’re back.
