Like most things on this team, we just have to hope for improvement from within if we hope to get any better. It's why you can't just look at teams off season's and evaluate what they will be the following year. But we put all of our chips on the improvement from within which I think is a mistake when it includes guys like Mazi.
I see improvement in the pass catchers. Cook has another year. Tolbert now in his 3rd and using Turpin more will be better. Plus Shoonmaker should have a larger role with more experience.
Oline may have inexperience, but its younger and healthier. I would expect Beebe to be much better in the run game than Badiaz.
I agree with this. And I've mentioned a couple of times that I think actually having OL capable of practicing throughout the week should make a huge difference.
Especially when when the player next to him was a rookie... it'll be great seeing Tyler & Tyler "grow up" together. For too long, between Tyron's injuries and the "revolving" Conners, the left side of the OL has been an picture of inconsistency.
Was at that game!
Smith should have been cut or traded 2 years ago. Another veteran i am happy to see go.
I'm not as worried about the receiving end of things as long as Lamb and Ferg are healthy. It's the run game that worries me. I don't think Dak is going to win any big games without a run game to compliment him. At least one where we can run the ball well against a 7 man front. Or against a nickel defense. I just don't think Dak has the ability to slice up a defense that is focused on stopping our pass. A good defense anyway.
I wish we’d kept him as a backup
That is one expensive backup. Pie. - G.S.
Huh?
Are you not inspired?
Hearing about Fat Mike’s fetish for getting his ass slapped is not inspiring. Sorry.
He might be titillated.
Jesus fucking Christ.
If you haven't seen a drop off you may be blind. Then again, Zeke was well on the downside of his career by the time McCarthy got here on the first stint.
