If Bosa stays healthy, we could have a very good pass rush this year. If he was an elite CB I’d be all for sending a couple of 1st’s for him.

The roster’s in pretty good shape except for the secondary and a lot of that has to do with the injuries to Bishop and Hairston. If those 2 looked good, we’d be whining about backup center or Bass.

Doubt the NFL is dumb enough to do something like this especially after what happened to an idiot like Gruden who was dumb/smug enough to write dumb-a$$ stuff in email . Could a few scouts or GM’s on different teams who are friendly discussed how entitled Sanders came across in interviews, I could believe that.

The lack of depth at DB overall is what makes any of these injuries a bigger deal than they are. Sweating injuries to Rapp and Tre sums up the state of the secondary. Hanging onto guys at the bottom of the roster especially on defense who have already showed they’re liabilities is McBeane’s biggest weakness. We should be churning through the bottom of the roster much faster to find guys that might actually help.

If Gabe will only making the vet minimum since Jags are still paying him $11m this year, it’s a no brainer. If you can trade Moore or Samuel or both, then you can sign or trade for a vet safety or DT.

Sums it up perfectly. And it’s not just safety where it seems overly complicated. It’s basically the whole defense. Would be nice to have an attacking downhill defense that puts the hurt on the offense than the undersized thinking man’s defense where offenses put the hurt on our defense.

Amen. You could cut the bottom 50 players from the current 90 man roster and sign waiver wire guys and it might actually improve the roster.

Same chicken-$h!t un-aggressive defense that values guys being in the right spot instead of beating the guy across from them and actually making a play. Andreesen, Hamlin, Codrington, and Dane Jackson have no business ever playing a meaningful regular season down. Beane should be scouring the waiver wire and trade market to improve the last 5-6 spots on the defense or we’ll be looking at another year of the levi wallace’s, AJ Klein’s, and Damar Hamlins getting exposed in the playoffs.

Hamlin is the Safety version of Levi Wallace. Half-a$$ attempts by McBeane to replace him and after Bishop’s development has been slowed by injuries here we are again staring at Hamlin starting opening day.

Agreed. I actually thought Jackson showed some glimpses last night. He was getting a good pop on the Tackle on most downs. If he ever learns how to disengage, you might have a good starter.

This needs to be revisited after tonight. Vandemark and Moore didnt help themselves. Shavers continues to play well and Shenault continues to be by far our best kick returner. On defense Andreessen, Dane Jackson. Bishop. and Hamlin were really bad. I’d be scouring the waiver wires if I were McBeane. The bottom 10-15 guys on the 53 man roster as of now are pretty bad.

I’ll give the rookies a pass. Hamlin, Bishop, Dane Jackson, Codrington, and Buffalo Joe were horrendous. If any of those guys play meaningful snaps on defense, we aren’t sniffing a Super Bowl no matter how good the offense is.

On a positive note, McBeane got to see what these backups look like against NFL starters in a game. There’s no excuses now to keep the majority of these guys around especially the ones who aren’t rookies. In the past, they wouldn’t find this out until they were forced to put these guys in big spots after an injury to a starter.

Bosa looks like he might be capable of an All Pro season. Rousseau might take the next step and Oliver is due for a rebound season, but the secondary is a major concern. Hairston needs to be a difference maker by the end of the season. Tre can’t stay with good WR’s. Benford is good but thats about it back there. Rapp can be an adequate starter but it’s time to consider acquiring a vet safety.

Davis has looked bad the past 2 preseason games. No juice.

We better hope Bosa, Rousseau, Oliver, Milano and Benford all play at a pro bowl level and don’t get hurt because the depth on defense is brutal and the system itself is suspect.

This secondary is embarrassing.

Solomon, Dorian, and Hancock the only guys on D that look playable.

Hamlin, Adreesen and Dane Jackson having a rough night

vandemark moving early every snap.

Williams brings the wood even when he’s blocked. Made Caleb get rid of that earlier than he wanted to.

Really hope Davis is saving himself for the regular season. 2 games in a row he looks like he’s running in mud.

Ha. Was about to post the same thing. No resistance. Buffalo Joe and our safeties were exposed badly on that drive

I’d play Winston over Wilson if they don’t wanna start Dart right away. Wilson has been cooked for a couple years. Afraid to take hits and checks down the second he feels pressure.

Daboll treating the preseason like the Super Bowl. Guess it’s understandable since he’s basically a dead coach walking. Their defense will be solid, but they’ll be lucky to win 5 games with Wilson as their QB.
