I hope Saquon makes as big an impact as Rich Eisen thinks.  I’ve always been excited about the acquisition, but just cautiously so… I worry about his durability. But to listen to Rich, good lord

Its looking more and more like Barkley will have to carry the offense because Hurts is still sucking.

Golly but you give up quick.

The jury is very much out on Saquon, if I’m the jury.  Excellent the first two seasons and not so much after that.  His receiving yards per catch has been anything but dynamic the past three years.

Hopefully he finds that gear he previously had, now being paired with much better offensive players.

I’m actually kinda surprised VanSumeren doesn’t seem to be doing anything despite all the hype. 

Oren Burks has been completely MIA from everything I’ve seen.

A.J Browns presser, is gold Jerry, gold.Talking about our secondary. Coop, He'll get his picks, not against me, but go get em. Love it. BG blames the coaches for last year.

I’m not going back to listen to 100’s of offseason podcasts to help fill your VanSumeren spank bank

Mods, please move to the Official show us your butthole Wednesday tread.

I’ll be the first to criticize Hurts in week 1 if he doesn’t look good.  I’ll be the first to criticize the team in week 1 if they don’t look good.  It’s a short season, even at 17 games.  Even with the Brazil travel.  I hate that "it’s early” BS.

But I don’t care if Hurts throws 15 picks per practice right now.  Don’t care how sloppy the OTAs or camp look.  Don’t care if we dominate in inter-squad practices.  Don’t care who flashes and who is invisible.  It’s just not reliable until the games count, we know every play is the product of players and coaches mutually trying to be maximally effective, etc.  THEN, when a player doesn’t play (who we otherwise hoped might), we know they did not, in fact, impress at OTAs/camp/preseason.

I'd bet money you wouldn't even be close to being first. 

 

Ya’ll sleeping on the impact Saquon will have. He’s been the only good thing about that offense for years, and has had no real threat of a passing game or consistent offensive line. 
 

He’s going to be the X-Factor. In lot of games down the stretch. Hurts needs to be ready to face loaded boxes and find his hots on blitzes and we’ll feast.

It's a bit if a schtick at this point,  but not without some truth behind it. 

 

 

"I really think that last year, we didn't have all the right coaches in the right position, I would say,” Graham said. "You can just see the guys (now) truly believing in what we’ve got going on, and I'm excited for the young guys that just came in and new rookies coming in because they’re really going to get a good shot and good taste of what it what it really is to be in the NFL.

"You just noticed little stuff last year, certain stuff we weren’t on the same page about. Just here and there, it will pop up, but it popped up in a big way that last game (playoff loss in Tampa). And it was just like, anything I learned, you always want to make sure that we just have the proper communication, so there's a real big communication going on right now within the locker room, on the field, in the classrooms. 

 

"And I know Howie was going to get it fixed. Because once you notice, you just have to deal with it during the year. That's how it is. But I don't see none of that at all. I'm more excited because we do have Fangio, somebody experienced, real good. I'm not saying anything about the past, but it was just more like you could just tell that everybody is on the same page about stuff.”

This is a huge weakness in his game currently, or at least was last season. Whether he didn't see recognize the blitz, didn't call for a hot route or didn't see it there were far too many plays where could have feasted and ended up in famine. A lot of that blame I put on Brian Johnson so hopefully Moore rights the ship

Shirley, you can't be serious!?!

I mean... this was pretty good, no?

I think he’s going to be the best player on the offense this year. He’s not just a piece, I think he’s going to be the foundation through which the offense runs through. Every other team that gives their QB a mega deal usually runs their offense through him and has to sacrifice other pieces. That’s not the case here and I think a big reason for the Barkley signing. I like Hurts, but I don’t think he can be the focal point in the offense and carry it. Whether it’s what we saw in the second half of last season or him being hurt three straight years. They need to take some off of his plate and Saquon helps there.

Week 1 there will be people complaining and then others saying that it's week 1 rust. The excuse of rust will continue like it does every year

Saquon was the whole offense for those terrible teams. Teams also with a dreadful OL.

I don't understand why anyone likes these. They look like they are straight out of a coloring book that someone forgot to color.
