He drafted Coleman, traded for Cooper, signed Palmer. Not to mention Moore and Samuel. I think Palmer was poised to have a break out game and he was injured mid game with a thin room. I think Beane goes down his path of a day 2 pick for a wr. Busted with Benjamin and Cooper but would try to get one out NO. Shaheed or Olave would fit vert well imo.

3rd time is the Charm. Shaheed or Olave. Would pay more for Olave. Meyers is not much different than what is here. Waddle would be a priority but doubt they trade him in division with another game later in the year.

Sal must have deleted his initial post. In my feed Sal and Joe were at the same time opposite. Sal must of combined the Hoech and Ogunjobi news with Jones and Palmer 🤷🏻‍♂️.

https://x.com/salsports/status/1981032152562008116?s=46 seems the opposite of Joe. Which one is it.

Alot at once. I think a base defense with Hoecht, Benard, Thompson, Johnson, Bishop helps the run defense on early downs. Overall, Johnsons strengths and at times alignments are that of a box safety. Imo Mcdemott’s strength at defense was with two high safeties. My biggest question would be Johnson deep Third. Playing quarters and 2 safety mitigates those concerns. Also offer the flexibility to play single high with Johnson on the slot. Secondary needs juice. Sitting Rapp and keeping Poyer out of rotation is only avoided imo by moving Johnson. Johnson is the OG of the room make him the table setter at safety.

Two NFL quality players on defense added in late October will help. Curious how Hoecht is utilized. Is he simply in the DE rotation. Will they use his flexibility on early downs or just third down rush packages? Ogunjobi instantly is the 3rd or 4th DT. An upgrade over Phillips, Logje and what Sanders provided vs the run. Regardless of Jones status I think you have to elevate Walker to starter. No matter how you pair them Oliver, Walker, Ogunjobi and Jones is a formidable DT rotation. Do they make a massive impact no. Will the defense be better with them? Yes, I think it will be. Hairston starting to on board back will greatly help the back too when he is ready.

I think when he is activated he will see the field. Secondary play has been rough. Having some juice in the room will be refreshing.

Glad he is back practicing. I am ok with a slow build up. Take the full window then get him on the field.

Move him to Safety. Play Hancock at Nickel. With the run defense as it is use more 4-3 over looks with Hoecht at the SAM. He has been in the defense forever and think he could handle the conversion. More athleticism and box responsibilities not too much different than Nickel.

Let’s see what they look like the next few weeks. Hoecht was his big FA piece for defense along with Bosa. Ogunjobi was the preferred 2 deep DT from FA. Hoping they can help with the early down issues. Maybe Hoecht will offer some odd front ability, or play off ball on early downs.

You really hate to see it…. You would think Tua is having a season similar to Joe Burrow last year with what he is saying after these games. Blaming leaders of the team as the Qb and leader of the team is something.

At this stage Poyer is better than Hamlin and is better than how Rapp has played. All that based off the Coleman hit? At least he was there to make the hit. Something im not confident Rapp does with his current play. Rather a 15 yard personal foul or a completed pass over 20 yards?

I expect Poyer to take Hamlin’s roster spot. I think if Rapp isnt careful Poyer could replace Rapp for a series or possible game. Rapp has not been very good.

Let’s see what they do. Coming off the Panthers loss if they implode they could drop more.

Detroit and Buffalo are the class of the NFL. Eagles have been very bad all year. Colts have played well. Im convinced Daniel Jones becomes Daniel Jones before thanksgiving. Either way they are easily top 5 and the Bills have a superior qb by a good margin. Offense has been very good and is multiple. All of this points to the current philosophy working. The question is the defense with all of the off season investment bottom middle third is not what the investment was for. Heck top 15 is an improvement of what they have showed thus far and imo that is a disappointment. I will hold my criticism until Heocht and Ogunjobi return though waiting for both is a self inflicted wound.
