    New England never fell into the trap of paying top dollar for that one guy who would come in and save the day - and they ended up with a dynasty.

    True, but they did "stumble" onto arguably (hate even typing this) the best QB ever.  **shudder** 🤑  Guys wanted to go play with him.

    When you have a great QB, that tends to help everything else on your team.  Hoping that's the case with Allen now.

    Antonio Williams will have the most rushing yards

    Trubisky will be efficient against 2nd team defenses

    Tyrell Adams will lead the team in tackles

    Marquez Stevenson will have at least one return TD

    Forest Lamp will be solid and win a guard spot

    Whew!!!  Now I don't need to watch the games.  Thanks!

    😉

  3. How many DT's do they normally keep?  We have 8 on the roster right now, but I think they only keep 5 on the 53 - could be wrong on that.

    Star and Oliver are safe.  Ankou, Bryant and Hester won't make it, so that leaves Butler, Phillips, Zimmer (and possibly Short) to battle it out for the last 2 or 3 DT spots.

  4. Cole is NOT going to get cut for voicing his well-publicized opinion (which I personally don't agree with).  As divisive as this topic may be, unless staff or teammates start dropping like flies at OBD, I think Beane and Co. care waaay more about bigger issues!

     

    Hapless.  I couldn't help myself.  🙁

  5. Looking forward to seeing Hodgins and A Williams in action for sure - also more of Dane Jackson!  But I will be mostly interested in seeing how Trubisky looks in a new system.  Obviously watered down plays but I'll be encouraged if he at least looks somewhat comfortable and doesn't have those deer in the headlights look to him - especially against backups!

    2)Hollister making Knox look bad..,,

    And Hollister too!  Since we've been banned from talking about Ertz, gotta see how our TEs are shaping up.

    I know you hedged your bets by saying "or maybe we're in great shape", but do you really think we might be in trouble with Trubisky as a backup?  The guy has a decent record as a starter and did not have nearly the offensive weapons he would have in Buffalo if, god forbid, he was forced to play in a meaningful game.  I feel way better with him as the backup than I did last year.  I also don't think you will get a clear answer to the question if Mitch is playing a quarter or two with backups in a preseason game.

    Yes, I did hedge my bet for sure.  He does have a decent record and he clearly has skills, but until I see how comfortable he is playing in this system (even with backup players) I'm gonna continue hedging.  😉   Hopefully all he has to do is ice games during the season (like mentioned above) because we're up by 40 like against the Pats, but past performance is not always a harbinger of current success.

     

    Oh and I REALLY loved that game against the Pats late last year!  Rubbed it in HARD with all my Pats fan friends!!!

    I can’t wait to see the defensive line in game time action 

    Trouble is, they will only be running base vanilla defenses during preseason.  Don't think we'll see how the D line really looks until Week 1.  But I'm with ya - exited to see our new D line guys - AND Star back in the mix!
