It’s the biggest scandal in the history of sports I’m actually believing. If ever uncovered. 

Now we have the biggest cheater….owning a team in Las Vegas. Can’t see anything possibly going wrong with this arrangement.

Tin foil hats my friend 

We picked up WR Terrace Marshall Jr

Signed Terrance Marhall-WR-Carolina

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Terrace-MarshallJr-WR-LSU Here was his former scouting report which I found a bit disturbing as LSU usually turns out more polished WR's that he didn't seem to have the knack for learning. If he CAN be straightened out, it will be here. He can play in or out which is what I was looking for in any WR addition. I still believe we draft another one late such as my pick, Donte Thornton from Tenn, He also has drop issues due to smallish hands. I'm sure he is a place keeper as we move along

No,JJ was my boy

Texans set the market at both Slot and Outside CB. Slot got 3 years 39 mil…Outside got 3 year 90 mil.

Imagine when it comes to extend and things are looking remotely like this between Q and DeJean. Kind of stinks to think…if you are DeJean you just can’t afford to not play outside. Not sure how you could even convince him to remain in the Slot after seeing this perfect exact example laid out by the Texans just now?

Could you imagine just how crazy it would be to tell Coop we’ll offer him to be highest paid at his position and he’ll set the market as Slot CB…but it won’t even be half of what we are going to offer Q

This is an issue that could be seriously having significant impact on our team here. This could really mess things up for us. Ringo can only play outside. Our Secondary gets really messed up without DeJean in the Slot. We will be absolutely forced to target selecting a Slot CB high this draft with intent to hand over a starting job to him potentially here. Really screw up our D real quick with this situation. Instead of growing DeJean to move showcasing his versatility from Slot …to S…to maybe even LB roles. That’s where he could be launching so deep into Fangio’s D this second season without this major pay discrepancy. I mean he was actually missing from doing this his first season even recovering. So no reason to assume anything but he’d absolutely add a tremendous amount of disguise with his versatility for Vic. 

Expecting such a huge growth element from DeJean his second season under Parker in this Fangio D. Such knowledgable coaches with such a versatile player….just couldn’t even put a cap on the potential just this one second year player could provide to our entire D. His ability and execution is just one piece to consider. I’d be scared to throw at him if I was our opponent. Sure because he doesn’t allow an easy completion or opportunity after the catch. Throwing window is small against him. He tackles well so you aren’t praying on him for missed tackles to benefit YAC Creation. But he hits with authority. Looks to make a play on the ball. So just as much as you could be looking for your receiving target to break a tackle and pick up every gains…he’s just as likely to force him to fumble instead. The kicker is he has great ball skills. Usually CBs don’t have good hands is part of why they play Cb. So they’ll just look to knock the ball away from the receiver. But he’s clearly a DB looking to catch it and take it away. When he made that pick on Mahomes on the SB. I instantly was celebrating he’s taking it to the house for a pick six. Special special return abilities. So dangerous! 
  If I’m the QB and OC my plan would be to not even throw at DeJean in the Slot. Can’t afford to do it! Only being a pro one season…it’s not like he can’t be beat. But the punishment of making a mistake his way is as brutal as it gets. 

Q blanketed is guys so incredibly…just so consistently every single snap. Our opponents avoided him learning his quality so quickly it was just a matter of a couple games into his pro career. But he kept having issues picking the ball off. Always just seemed like some tiny detail got in his way to thwart him completing the pick. So many times very clearly was in ideal positioning to have done it. If I’m any opposing OC I’d have to make the choice to challenge Q instead of DeJean right at this point. Good luck really completing much his way. But at least he hasn’t proven he’ll make you pay and make the big play against you trying. Even if he does start pulling in the interceptions….like I completely believe he’s going to own this second season…..at least he hasn’t shown to be such a dangerous returner looking to score when he does.

So awesome to just even think about what we have here now with those two. That such a small school CB came in so dominating teams starting trying to near completely avoid throwing his direction. He has that effect almost immediately. That’s what these top Pro O minds witnessed in his tape. They wanted to avoid him like the plague. Now they actually almost have to chose to take their chances with him because of just how dangerous going at DeJean has proven to become.

Which corner would you pick when gameplanning against us? Q hasn’t capitalized and missed opportunities to make the turnover. DeJean is looking to score if you make a mistake.

Q’s interceptions and being targeted will rise this season. Can’t see how the so initial conclusion of don’t throw at him can remain now.

A doesn’t give a completion window availability hardly at all too. Going into Eagles week every QB will be feeling that pressure. Gameplan actually looking at finding any ways to beat him and that tight coverage.

Versus past of QBs being so confident against us. Bradberry missing a step overall and especially changing directions. Maddox never was any threat. Heck analytics was screaming throw it high and it’s not just very low risk for a QB….but routine easy strategy for success.

Just even that confidence any QB comes into the game with. Any mediocre QB with high confidence will thrive. Put any doubt and indecisive factor at all and everything’s completely  different. 

Point being same exact situation and throw? World of difference with even pretty weak QBs if they aren’t scared because they are targeting a defender that doesn’t intercept it…especially can return that.

My mock has Scourton at 32,but if Pearce falls into range,I suspect Howie would move a little. This article, however, fails to understand DeJean will be a S not a CB

There are alot of nice DT's in round 2, so as needed positions, I believe edge(pick your man) will be the first pick with a DT in round 2 and probably an OT to sit behind Lane who could maybe compete for the RG start(we shall see) in round 3. We also had in Nohl Williams the CB from Cal. I think he would be a fine pick in round 4

LOL, Why are you always worried about paying your guys?   The Eagles don't let the star players leave... they let the guys like Hargrave, Milton, Sweat, Reddick, get overpaid... they always pay the guys they want, they do it early, so the cap hits stay way low.   Look at your boy ... gets the most cash of any QB in the league... cap hits way way low.   Same will happen for Carter and the two young CBs.   The core players they want to keep.

Hoping we can dump Huff. Fangio had no use for him last year. Error by Howie,so I hope we can peddle him for some late pick
