So very few can make it through playing 20 games. Think it especially is a need when you are trying to extend a player like Slay. He needs to be able to suit up in the playoffs healthy. He looks to have a ceiling of 9 or 10 games he can suit up for at this point in his career.

I know he is a rook,but he has 4.6 speed(fast for a TE). I just know about this kid. Only so many roster spots. Hard to see where he fits in.
July 11, 20241 yr 20 hours ago, GreenbleedinNC said: We have depth,it's just untested. Paris has played,but the numbers aren't good,perhaps his career will be rejuvenated here, Ainias rookie-jury out although he was "my guy" in the draft. Johnny from FSU,also a rook,jury out. Covey,not really used as a receiver. Don't know much about the other roster WR camp bodies-jury out. I see nothing wrong with adding a BU outside guy like Michael Thomas. If AJ misses time,Smith can slide into the slot(ala JJ). If Smith misses time,you'd still have AJ/Thomas out.Thomas has lost a step,but still a viable outside BU. I really don't care what the other 31 teams have or don't have. If we can add a little depth,then we should. if we're going to try another run(which I expect we will) then you are going to need outside guys down the stretch. Once again we have some untested slot guys, Ainias COULD play outside but he is untested there also. Adding a vet like Thomas or similar would make sense. We have enough loot left to do it. Let the other 31 teams do whatever they want,I don;t care what they do or don't do. Even if none miss time,there is an option to use all 3 with Smith in the slot. You'd have 3 experienced weapons that way. Rotate Paris,ainias or whomever. The more looks you give the tougher the defenses have it I’m thinking bigger …find a trade. There will be options. Not thinking as big a move as Aiyuck…but a quality WR.

If Goedert is used correctly(not the crap from last year) we should be fine. Hopefully we can extend drives and not have the defense on the field for 45 minutes a game. People forget CJG is pretty good! And if Mitchell learns fast he could be a shut down. Still curious where they plan to fit DeJean into this defense. I believe the packers are in for a rude awakening in Brazil,but that's just me lol Week one is tough. Always the biggest crapshoot game. I’d never bet on any Week one NFL game.

Just NFL GREED beyond imagination. Fans supported this stuff since time began,now they want to back stab everyone. I will have to use my cheat site.but Eff them It’s kind of smart in some ways. They need to use these streaming companies to figure out all the best ways to do it. They don’t have the expertise they do. So it basically works out to where they get free pro advice on how they need to do things. It is a much better way of going about business than paying tons to some computer geek company to try and figure it out. Which is what they’ve been doing so far.

July 11, 20241 yr Denzel Mims was cut. He would be a long shot hoping we could unlock him. But he has all the physical tools.

I look at him as still a big time playmaker. So really would be nice to have him in the playoffs….if we make the postseason. We have the depth to not need to force him to play injured. So maybe it works out where the old grizzled playmaker that can’t recover like he used to for the long haul can be very effective for us.

July 11, 20241 yr Like for me....a guy that can intercept a ball and run it back 100 yards is a playmaker....like what Sydney Brown did last year. Slay is his own biggest fan, looking forward to when we move on from him. One of the guys it is being talked about, by the former players, who was just looking out for himself last year. Similar to Reddick. You can tell these guys...Similar to Alshon.... having one year of team success is enough for them, then it goes back to me, myself and I as the 3 most important things to them. Soft mentality ... " it's not my fault we lost" Basically it's Slay talking about himself like Ham does with Hurts. Nothing good for the team having that around. No matter how good a guy could cover back in 2022.

July 11, 20241 yr Author 2 hours ago, cunninghamtheman said: They were 31st last season…only because Washington was historically bad. But I think Fangio can really make things quite difficult for O’s to read. I expect it take time. He’s likes to roll coverages. Have two high S and much of the time show different than the actual playcall. Disguise. But it takes time to get all these guys working this stuff out. Moving parts and guys gotta really know their job…but also the others job. That way they pass things off and can be moved to be interchangeable. That makes it very tough to read for any QB. That’s what the good D does. They trick you. They understand the rules that most O follow. So this allows them to completely be setup for it. Even ranked 20th would be a great improvement
July 11, 20241 yr Author 3 hours ago, cunninghamtheman said: Caught in the moment of recency bias. Dak had a huge stat season. But I look for more than the stats. The guy has never won a playoff game. Stinks in most big games. I’d rather have a just decent player that can handle the pressure moments. Number one O last season. How did it go in the postseason? Really any postseason. A guy who’s a stud week one but can’t win a playoff game really does nothing for me. Sounds just like you just described Hurts eh? (All bias aside replace the word Dak for Hurts) And just a quick reminder that they lost a game because of Dak being 2 inches short at the GL and I'm sure you will successfully argue Hurts HAS won a playoff game.....in 2022. Now he needs to get back there again,then avoid making bonehead mistakes when it matters and even us "haters" would love to see that

July 11, 20241 yr Author 3 hours ago, cunninghamtheman said: I’m thinking bigger …find a trade. There will be options. Not thinking as big a move as Aiyuck…but a quality WR. IDK at what point is the trade so big(or expensive) that it infringes on your top players? You go too high that guy is going to want to start/play. That defeats the purpose of them being a BU. I'm looking at players that are good,maybe in the last few years of playing. Who love the game enough to stay in,maybe lost a step and are ok with a BU role,but could still be effective with some tweaks by the coordinators(either side of the ball) and will play for not so high an investment. All those criteria are hard to find. Bark was a godsend(watch the interview that put him into FA) great value there and Howie recognized that enough to sign him to a 3. IMO Thomas fits all the above criteria. Of course I am not in his head,but I'm sure he understands his playing days are closing out soon. I really would not want to infringe on Smiths target share. After all he is one of the big money players and to reduce his share for a "cheap" guy would just be cause for him to get upset and find a team he can play with. I mean maybe he can get the same stats in the slot,but Hurts would need to find him and the middle of the field has always been an issue with Hurts,so as far as WR goes it can't be anyone that threatens to take the #2 away. I keep forgetting we have Ross.I have no info as to what they think about him. if Ross can play,then we don't need Thomas,but there is not enough info,so Joe is correct that we need to "wait and see what we have". I was wrong on that and Joe is right on that point
