Between FA and the draft it's hard to see how the defense won't be better. Our D line last year was not good, Ed, Groot and a bunch of Jags. Von did not have a good year, he was a wasted roster spot, DaQuan was spent, A.J., Carter, Smoot, Toohill all jags. Maybe J Solomon can take a step forward this year. Bosa, Ogunjobi, Hoecht, Sanders, Jackson, Walker should raise the DL bar. A couple of new corners should help the back end as well. Defense HAS to be improved this year.

His rookie contract will now pay less than the NIL money he was making, no matter where he goes. 😕

Not exactly what I said, but what I did say is very likely to be true. We'll have to let the year play out and see.

We'll see how TJ's game translates to the NFL. I'm not so sure there will be that much of a gap, by years end. Time will tell.

Regardless of how people feel about the pick or the trade, he's gonna be a fan favorite in no time. His first step and lateral movement looks impressive. Maybe not the guy everyone wanted, but probably our best IDL already. The more you watch the more promising he looks imho.

That would be a bold move for sure.

If Pitt doesn't take Sanders, he's falling to the second round. 😆

If we bring that Lombardi home this year, I'll be glad he was a part of it. Nothing but ❤️ for Tre.

That wasn't exactly the question though. Having a good or great year is not the same as showing improvement or elevating your game. I cant imagine anyone holding out and returning as a better or improved player. I'm not sure I've ever seen it. Constant improvement should be the goal imho.

Has there ever been a player that has voluntarily missed time, OTA's, training camp, practice and been a better player for it? Who is the shining example of this?

It's a great Channel if you like golf. ASMR for golf people.

/agree Conversely, if you DO think this is your guy, you don't miss an opportunity to bring him in again. Not overly impressed with him and many have already stated.

This guy says his agent has negotiated a grand total of 1 contract.

It's entertainment, and gets people talking. They put in the time and produce solid content, I enjoy it, even if I don't agree with everything within. Honestly, what analyst can you agree with 100% of the time? Id imagine getting defensive over your work and effort is a natural reaction, the whole sports media industry is designed to be combative, my team vs yours, my opinion vs yours etc etc... The player insight is really the best part here. I also appreciate guys that put in the time breaking down film so +1.

Erik Turner over @ Cover1 really does excellent work. Id suggest everyone should be watching their breakdowns.

I wish the Jets or the Patriots could just make the "right" offer already... geez. 😉

In a perfect world yes, but I think experience has taught OBD that health and longevity is not a given. Increased workload and responsibilities (blocking) might see him fading towards the end of the season, or in the playoffs or worse be unavailable. Im just not sure I can be convinced that its a good idea riding him like that. I feel like his explosiveness would diminish by years end and more moving forward. I like the Bills approach here.

Even if he could, how long could he last? I just dont see him holding up for very long under the physical abuse it takes to be an every down back in the NFL. It's not just the carries but all the chipping and blocking and blitz pickups. These are long and physically grueling seasons, especially as a perennial playoff team. He's simply not that guy, or if he could be, it would be Not For Long.

I was soo excited heading into this off season, now it just feels like we're running it back with Bosa instead of Von. This move is very uninspiring and our 2ndary desperately needs help. Hamlin is not good and I have little faith in Bishop, both are giant liabilities. If we come up short again, no doubt secondary will be a big reason why.

If palmer is getting 12m yr I cant see any way they dont resign Cook. The optics of that would just be.... 🙃

So he's kinda like a less productive Robert Woods? He'll probably be more productive than Coop was for us, but not the deep threat we want/need. This signing probably says more about Samuel, Cooper and Colemen than anything else. We definitely still need to draft or sign someone.

I saw a talking head mention how Po was old slow and late. These types of hits/plays are all he has left... old, slow and late. He's fortunate to avoid the dirty player tag.
