H2o

Meh, they don't move the needle. Pretty ugly.

You ever seen the movie The Program? Hoecht is Lattimer.

Any time you have JA17, you have a reason for optimism. QB - MVP (should be at least 2 times by now, but still that dude) RB - Same group that complemented each other well last year. Cook is explosive and Ty is one of the best 3rd down backs in the NFL. WR - I see the sum of these parts being greater than the sum of the parts from last year. We need a healthy Shakir though. TE - Hopefully Kincaid is fully healthy and finally makes that leap. Knox is ole reliable at this point. Hawes, well, who knows, but I heard he can block. OL - Same top end group, and Josh still makes an OL look even better than they are. DE - Bosa is a clear upgrade over Von. Not sold on Lattimer, but we'll see when he returns from suspension. Jackson is another mammoth human in the fold. I think we're better overall. DT - The additions of Sanders and Walker upgrade this group. A healthy DaQuan should help too. We're better. LB - A healthy Milano focused and flying all over the place again is a massive upgrade. Hopefully Williams takes a step forward. Andreesen is about the same as Spector, just healthy. As long as Milano is that dude and healthy, we'll be better. CB - We have Benford, a true lock down type of CB. Then, we have question marks. Hopefully White can make it back and be somewhat effective. I'm not expecting much out of Hairston with the injury and IR thing. He's missed too much time. McD won't trust him with big minutes, if he comes back this year at all. That being said, I really like the prospects of Dorian Stong in this scheme. I just think he fits what we do and will grow as the year progresses. Still, big question marks at CB2 right now and the Chiefs are getting their felon back this year. S - Rapp is injury prone and gambles too much. Can Bishop put if together? I can hear an Eminem song in the background. Hamlin will be out there taking bad angles, blowing coverages, and missing tackles. We have Cam Lewis, a McD favorite. I REALLY like the prospects of Hancock on this team. It will just take time and reps to get him acclimated. Another question mark group. Our Secondary outside of Benford is the weakest link on this team. Hopefully the DL can pressure the QB this year so the opposing teams can't pick us apart. P - Seemingly improved K - Bass. Will we get Bass-O- Matic or Run-His-Bass-Out-Of-Town? Same.

6 games is more than the 4 I thought it would be. But, honestly, are we really surprised it wasn't more? I don't buy that the NFL was REALLY pushing an 11-12 game ban. That's bull jive. Most of us would have been in prison for 6 years over the incident and he gets suspended for 6 games of an NFL season. Wow......punishment.

I think he would benefit more from a Power scheme versus what Payton runs in Denver. He's a high 4.5's guy so there is not much breakaway speed there. He does run tough though. Maybe Seattle, or Indy.

Yes, but will he be able bring this kind of swag?

Well, Hairston's season is going to pretty much be a wash now. He'll be out for four weeks then comes the next three weeks where his practice window is open. Probably won't see him on the field until week 8, and that's IF his knee is responding the way they want it to. And then it will be whether McD plays him, or sticks with the guys he's got already for the most part. My bet is on the latter.

I said Shavers was gonna make the 53 back in the early 53 thread. I believe he has proved me right. I think he will be a productive member of this team.

Terry must have found @HOUSE's wallet and decided to splurge.

I guess it wouldn't be the first time that the NFL colluded, but I don't know if I buy this one. If a guy is a potential Franchise QB, a guy who changes the course of your organization, then they would tell the League Office to kick rocks. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/eric-dickerson-claims-nfl-teams-were-told-not-to-draft-shedeur-sanders

Apparently Ja'Lynn Polk has a shoulder injury, and someone let it get out that he will be out for the season. Vrabel, of course, is none too pleased. Made me think of the days before Beane and McDermott when everything about our organization was pretty much public knowledge. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mike-vrabel-wants-to-find-rats-leaking-injury-info

Nah. He watched Tre go down and said, "Not today, Satan!"

I think Hancock ends up in the position long term. He seems like the guy with the most upside to me. I just think McD may not trust him with the entire playbook and all of the assignments yet.

Aaaaand everything attempted by said players was a train wreck. They made the Bears depth look like they should be starters. It was like watching Yale play Penn St. It was a complete dumpster fire of a performance.

My prediction for the game

If I say last night's game was a complete trash performance from game plan, to the execution of said game plan, to the players on the field, does anyone disagree with me in any, way, shape, or form? If you do, I have no idea what game were watching. We were horrendous, all except for Hancock and the Punter. That is not an overaction, that is an honest take. Thankfully, many of those guys will not be seeing meaningful snaps come the regular season, if they even make the team, because the suck. And if any of those guys do see snaps, the rest of the players around them will be better. They couldn't do a single thing right last night. It was rough to watch, even for a Preseason game.

Good luck with Justin Fields there guy.

Trash performance

Buchelle and White both missing easy TD's

I swear Pam Oliver had a stroke. Her words are slurred some now and she just sounds different

Not being a distraction 😂

38-0....against the Bears....Preseaon or not, this is 💩 football

McDermott in mid-season challenge form

The Bears OL does not hold 😂

The Dlman just got tackled
