Trevor Lawrence is not a serious person lmao

Beano won’t trade for a WR. It’s a tacit admission he was a complete moron in the offseason going on WGR and he’s gotta save face for Terry.

I legitimately do not believe the cover1 boys for a second

Coleman gets all the criticism because he’s being benched for poor behavior

Well, see, we couldn't afford Metcalf, but Palmer, Moore and Samuel all cost more than Metcalf. Go figure.

Do we see Shakir slowing up considerably here with bracketed coverage? I'm no WR coach, but when running a crosser like that, wouldn't the correct move to try to...out run the guy trailing you? Honest question because I don't know.

When we trade for a WR, does Beane go back on WGR for round 2?

There's not much to change. Our defense is reliant on guys who were in their prime 5 years ago to be stars. And some of them are hurt. We are reliant on rookies who are basically all looking...well like rookies and young players. Our talent pipeline from 2018 to 2024 was very poor. 2022 was a good year, but the rest not so much. We don't have a ton of experienced good guys to replace the old guys who are aging out. Here are players on the active roster drafted from 2018 to now that are contributing. Josh, Taron, Ed, Knox, AJE, Rousseau, Brown, Hamlin, Cook, Benford, Bernard, Shakir, Kincaid, Dorian, OCT, Coleman, Bishop, Ray Davis. That's not a real murderer's row of talent. Taron was excellent but has fallen off a cliff.

As I said at the time, I pegged his ceiling as a Mike Williams type. High variance TD and 800-1000 yards average per year. He's just not a 1. And he's not a guy you really want to pay as a 2.

I'm sure he's super smart guy and a heckuva coach. I'm also sure he tries to break every other coach's hand in the handshake line.

It's honestly the fault of the org that they basically set him up to the be the WR savior. He will get unnecessary flak if he only turns out to be a good role player WR.

Vrabel IS a meathead AND a great coach.

It was obviously predictable. We decided to run it back and give long-term extensions to basically 4 core players who are good but not great. Fill some holes with JAGs and draft near exclusively defense. The only way the strategy was going to work is if they drafted 2 Pro Bowlers. Otherwise, we now have a very expensive group of good but not great players.

I don’t think you watch enough NFL if you think Josh’s performance was “poor.” Poor by his standards, sure. But not poor. that kinda speaks to the larger part that we can’t beat the Pats without our QB playing like the best QB in football, which bodes ill.

The meme that McD has no input on extensions or targeted FAs has to end. Sure, he isn’t breaking down tape of fifth round targets. But you are telling me he has no influence on whether or not to pay Rousseau? That’s is unbelievable. This is McD and Beane’s roster and vision and should it prove to be a bust, send them both packing.
