Pre Injury Derrick Burroughs was very good. Robert James was no question a star.

I think Carter flashed in the beginning of the season prior to the wrist injury. McDermott does not fawn over young players. I would not assume anything from the press conference.

They may need Douglas depending on the draft. I am hard-pressed to believe McDermott starts a rookie CB unless it is an exceptional talent. Douglas was pretty good prior to last year and had knee and back injuries last year. Steph Gilmore might make sense too. He had good numbers for Minny last year.
-
Nohl Williams is intriguing. 14 careers takeaways, good in man coverage and very physical, nice open field tackler. Alfred Collins at DT is impressive the way he sheds blocks.

Remembering how Mahomes played catch as our corners played 8 yards off the ball in the playoffs likely points to a rookie draft pick unless a good man to man veteran comes available.

He is intriguing but they are already carrying Von's contract for the often injured role.

Ben Williams was a very good player. Paup was magic the one year he dominated. Bennett was dominant.

Free agent Safety is the most likely add. I don't see McDermott starting a rookie alongside Bishop next year.

Peterman, Jaimie Nails, Ed Spriggs, Maybin, Corey Moore.

I think Cook has proved he deserves a pay upgrade. He has great talent and seems to be getting better year to year. That said, he is not getting $15mm. I guess he is negotiating what his agent told him. Beane will figure it out. I do not see him being traded because of an offseason demand.

Remember the last time the Ravens were the number 1 seed, the Chiefs jumped out to an early lead and made the Ravens one dimensional. The Ravens are not the team to play from behind.

Throw in Knox, Hollins, Gilliam and of course #17, it is a physical group.

RIP John. May he rest in peace.

Interesting video about this stuff...
Essentially on D, they say that we usually play a "Nickel Over Front" aligned to the strong side almost exclusively and that allows teams to create scripted plays starting games that let them have early success. Then talk and show some adjustments they make within it that helps them improve significantly as the game goes on.
This is exactly what it is. They never send an extra rusher in the first quarter. Same ol, same ol.

The endzone pass and the third down pass on crossing patterns, the receiver had no separation. Cooper should help with just that. I think it is a great pickup. He will also benefit Knox and Kincaid by the attention he will draw.

I have to believe his toe is limiting him. He certainly was targeted a lot at St. John Fisher in the practices I saw. Tis is info from when they signed him:
Matthew Harmon, a wide receiver guru known for his Reception Perception methodology, released the following stats on Samuel’s route running success rate in 2023.
75.4% success rate vs. man coverage (82nd percentile in the league). Samuel has cleared 75% success rate vs. man in all 4 seasons charted for reception perception
Samuel’s 80% success rate vs. zone was the best mark of his career Samuel’s ability to separate and get open against man and zone should be a major asset for Buffalo’s offense in 2024.

I also thought Hamlin looked late on every snap. The whole team overreacted to every misdirection, every fake. It was ugly.

Hollins was targeted by Josh a lot at camp practices particularly in the endzone. He seems pretty good at high pointing the ball and catching the fade patterns in the redzone. He might not be an all-pro but I think he will surprise in the redzone.
-
At Sunday's practice, Morris was on all the special teams. On kick return, they ran right behind him a couple of times. I think he is on the roster. That said, Davidson is very smooth and shows great hands. It will be an interesting cutdown.
-
Hamler's youtube highlights from his time in Denver were intriguing. He can really get behind the defense consistently. Just needs to keep healthy.
-
I wonder if Arizona wants to come up to 33 for switching our 4th for one of their thirds. We would only go back a few spots from 33 in the second.

As a Notre Dame fan, I say hard pass.

I will give Keon Coleman another vote. He is really smooth and obviously athletic. He played with a QB who scrambled for a lot of off platform throws. He is graded lower than about 7 other receivers. I like him better than Legette and Mitchell.

I think Beane knew that Davis and Diggs had become too easy to cover. Teams could send db's on the blitz (Cinci playoff and KC under Spagnola) without paying. The next steps are guys who can make a defense respect them and open up space for the offense particularly the TE. One of the speed guys like Mitchell will make the corners move back. Samuel has wheels too. If they double up at wr, someone who beats man coverage like McConkey is intriguing.
Sleeper Time!

As a Notre Dame Fan, I really like Rylie Mills. He played DT and is coming off an ACL. As an older player at 24, he is likely to last until the later rounds. Notre Dame's run defense disappeared after his injury. He really developed into a solid player over time.
