I’m ok with DT in 2. I love a game wrecking DT. What would irritate me is a db early. McD is elite at getting the most out of mid round DBs. That’s what they told us. We don’t know for sure. They also told us Elam was the last player they had with a first round grade. He didn’t even fit their scheme. It was an obvious reach at a position of need.

WR - round 1 WR - round 2 S - round 5 S - round 6 mcd is a db whisperer that turns safeties and corners into stars. Just need to find the ones with the right traits.

Yep…posts like those are so unnecessary. As if we can’t talk about off-season needs before the season is over. So lame. It’s clear by now what we need and it’s well within our right to discuss it.

Other than using a first on Diggs, the highest pick that Beane has turned in a card at WR was fourth round. It’s comical how much they seemed to neglect getting Allen top WR talent.

They set a precedent in 21 with Rousseau and Basham. They went into that offseason with the mindset they needed to “sack Mahomes”. They literally said it. I can’t imagine them not viewing receiver as the biggest need heading into this off-season.

I’m really hoping Beane takes a WR in the first round this year and would then like to see another taken in round 2 if they are rated high on our board. We did this with Rousseau and Basham when we needed someone to get after Mahomes. Why can’t we do it again for our franchise qb? Go hard at the position and give yourself the best shot possible at finding another top receiver. These guys could end up being WR1 and WR2 after Diggs leaves. I love the idea of rookie contracts, with one having the fifth year option. This is a passing league and if we hit on one, that gives Allen Kincaid and the new guy for at least 4 years on rookie deals. If we hit on both, then all the better.

You’re right. There will be. Hopefully we take one even after we use our first rounder on a receiver.

Cool

Not really my point but I get what you’re saying. Many level headed folks (including Joe Marino) were saying just make him the OC going into next year and move on. They were happy to see the offensive improvements in the run game and Allen looked really good against the eagles. The run game continues to look decent, but the qb and receivers are totally off. Diggs is a non factor. This team goes as Josh Allen goes…I think we can all agree with that. It just hasn’t been effective for a month now.

But here’s the argument…Allen was having a really good statistical year with Dorsey and Diggs was on fire. Allen may have had some turnovers, but his completion % was tops in the league. Now it looks like he is back to rookie year Josh. The common denominator seems to be the ocs.

After the eagles game, many (including myself) were satisfied enough to declare Brady the OC next year if McD stays. I think after what we saw under Dorsey, any semblance of an nfl offense was a welcome sight so we may have jumped the gun in what Brady was capable of. Now? Well…this offense is a mess. Allen and the receivers are way off…Diggs is a non factor since Brady took over…we are running Murray up the guy on third and 1 instead of letting our hulking qb dive over the top to move the chains, etc. Could Joe Brady be coaching for his job today this week? I’m not saying he won’t be the guy next year either way, but the job might come open if we lose and miss the playoffs. We have way too much in a franchise qb to be wasting him with ineffective coaching. I’d rather open up the HC position in favor of an offensive mind, but we all know that’s not likely to happen. What say you?

That’s normal for a younger player. How are those numbers for a guy vons age who has had an acl before?

Better the past three weeks? Really? This past game was arguably his worst since his return.

Who cares? Our starting corners are Benford and Douglas. Does he have talent or does he have elite traits? Two different things. I will always maintain Beane panicked when McDuffie was picked and took Elam thinking McD could coach him up in their system. However, sometimes the differences in systems are too much to overcome, no matter how many traits they possess.

Good grief man…why are you taking this so personally?

Awesome…just in time for the team to get false ideas about him being a number 2 and bail on drafting a wr in the first round this year!

That’s fair, but is it any coincidence that they unit that has excelled is the one that McD has less control over? I don’t think it is. McD is a defensive guy yet somehow always seems to ruin great performances by Allen and the offense.

I honestly don’t want to hear anymore excuses from this guy. He prob cost us a chance at a sb in 21 and has been on a regression ever since. Enough is enough with his snide excuses

Read all that for the only thing that made sense in all of it. The very last paragraph where you say “I don’t think any of this makes sense”.

You lost me at “He's gotta be a whole lot better than what he is at that price tag”. Did you see the game last night?

You honestly think Beane has all the say in who he drafts and signs? I don’t. I think McD has his fingerprints all over this roster and nudges Beane on who to draft and get in here as FAs. Just look at the high picks on defense and all the FA dollars on that side of the ball. It has the stench of a defensive minded HC written all over it.

I agree with the response to my post. However, I think Beane deserves the opportunity to hire his own HC. Gotta remember…it was McD that hired Beane…not the other way around.

I’m not sure “who”, but it has to be an offensive mind. Enough with this defensive crap. You have Josh Allen. Now build around the mid before it’s too late.

The thing is, I’d rather go with the unknown at this point, because we all know at this point what McD gets you. It’s just not good enough.

Good for you buddy…I’m glad you embrace the minority in those that actually support this wimp. Congrats!
