LABILLBACKER

There won't be one receiver that they can double. Opposing D coordinators will have to adjust on the fly if Brady & Josh do a good job to spread the targets.

With the Claypool signing, I'd say there's only 3 locks at wr. Shakir, Samuel and Coleman. After those guys, anything can happen based on motivation and desire. This is not a great wr room but the battle between Shorter, Shavers, Hamler, Hollins, Cephus, Claypool and Isabella should be entertaining.

If he can't appreciate this team's culture, he's not making it anywhere else. This will be his last chance.

Well that's going to be the only way he succeeds this year. This will probably be his last chance to reboot his career.

Our biggest problem on defense is we don't have any dynamic pass rushers. I don't see Miller, Rousseau or Epenesa reaching 10 sacks. Our Lb's will have to play out of their minds.

He's smart....he's funny....he's so damn authentic....he's going to fit in just fine....

The coach is far less responsible for 11 wins every year than the future HOF qb is. But because of Josh, Sean's job security is as safe as ever.

Kincaid 1000 Shakir 900 Coleman 800 Samuel 700

At this point you're right. You might as well not even plan for these. Whatever falls in our lap is gravy. The fairness of their system should be under scrutiny, but hardly worth stressing over anymore.

I agree, in order to transition to Josh's peak years (28-33), Brady will slightly increase the run attack. This will buy Josh some longevity. Routes will be short to intermediate. I know we have speed in guys like Samuel, Hamler & Isabella but you saw how ineffective Harty was last year. I still don't believe this team has a Chase/Waddle "go route" guy. Coleman will fill an important role and become a very good WR2. But we'll have to do it in 2024 without a true #1. And that may just work out?

Because the NFL helped Brady his whole career. We're starting to see this with Mahomes/Kelce. We're simply not an NFL darling to get those calls. Keon will get flagged some but hopefully his physicality is rewarded by the zebras?

No

Terry needed to be put out to pasture a decade ago.

Both are true. Diggs needed to Rich down deep and fight the urge to go full diva and Beane should've pulled the trigger on a 2nd wr beyond Coleman. Both are fails....

I will always go on record as saying it was imperative to double dip in last week's wr rich draft. We won't see that deep of a wr draft for awhile. And all of this is amplified by losing Diggs/Davis. We had realistic bites at the apple with Thomas, Mitchell, Leggette, McConkey, Franklin & Walker. I'll give Keon the benefit of the doubt and completely ignore his 40. I've been told by half this board that 40 times are irrelevant. But we still needed that 2nd rookie wr. If for no other reason as insurance if Hollins, Hamler, Shorter, Shavers, Cephus flame out. We all saw how useless Sherfield and Harty were last season.

There's no denying he has above average hands. The tape proves he can catch contested balls using his basketball background. Alot if us screamed (including myself) bloody murder when Allen was taken over Rosen. Maybe most of us are wrong again about Coleman. Time will tell....

Hopefully with all that extra cap$ next year we can sign a speed wr who doesn't drop the ball.

AJE has averaged 3.9 sacks/yr. I think Rousseau is 5.7/yr. Hardly worth 13.4M? Both have been disappointing.

That's all this is, like Edmunds. Give him an extra year to see if he can ever get to 10 sacks. If not, wave goodbye. I've been somewhat underwhelmed with Grootseau.

This is not a reload. It's a rebuild, there's a big difference. And as of right now we have no clue how these guys pan out. Perpetual optimism and "wait till next year" gets old after watching this movie for 55 years.

Samuel is not a wr2 and Cook is no where a star if he can't catch a routine throw. But I do like the idea of diversity considering there's not one receiver to scheme against defensively. This should play somewhat to our advantage. I'll keep an open mind regarding Coleman but he wasn't on my top 10 list.

They had plenty of opportunities to add Mitchell, Franklin or Walker to compliment Coleman. No one to blame but themselves if guys like Hollins, Cephus, Hamler & Shorter flame out.

That was our best team and best shot at a SB with that group. Still can't believe Micah came out of nowhere for that pick. Many of those players will be missed. Some not.....

That's it. The process & culture is officially over. Thank God....took long enough..... +500 Cephus succeeds.....

There's gotta be a 4.80 wr out there somewhere Brandon can target. He's becoming the Bill Belichick of wr evaluators.
