Its being reported that Daniels will be playing today. I'm all for it. I want Billings to fall on him and watch him limp to the sidelines.

They have to make room for several players coming back which is good for our depth. Dont sit on Martin, he looked quick in the preseason before he got hurt. The big question coming is Bates better than either Shelton or Pryor.

Bill would have a different take if he only watched the last 2 games as you suggest. Washingtons Ss arent great and a few completions on the outside and CW would screw with their minds. Allen and Kmet in the middle of the field would kill them.

I mean more 3 LBer sets instead of 70% nickel. Daniels wont be playing (probably not but if playing injured may restrict him in the running game.)

We have more depth in the DB group over any other grouping. We will be fine. Play Jack Sanborn more to push back on the run.

Will everyone be okay with a 2-1 record over the next 3 weeks or do we have to win all 3? 6-3 still would still be in line for a WC spot, its important that we go 3-3 in our division .

Good news all of our top 4 Ss are signed for next year. We should be drafting Ss and CBs every year but our top picks need to be OL and DL. Brisker is a valuable asset and will be here thru 2025. We can deal with replacing him as we see how his history plays out.

Okay I understand your opinion, what do we do to fix not only RG and C but now LG. 2 spots wont be easy but 3 make it a rough job. Bates may very well save the Center spot but we dont know that yet. There is limited options in free agency next year for young and ascending, plenty of old guys. I doubt very much he drafts 3 starting OL in the first 3 rounds. If he brings back Jenkins even if he only plays 12 games at least it gives time for a rookie to develop or someone like Bill Murray to get vaiuable starts. We have only 4 OLmen signed for next year and 3 are OTs. How do we fix it?

Yes , I jacked that up, the sad part is I didnt even proof read it.

The spread is just reacting to the injury, if they say he is playing by Sat, the spread will move. The strongest group of the game is our defense. I expect us to keep them arounf 20 points. TOs will matter, on the rad penalties will matter, CW play will matter. Brandon Allen is out for the year that will help our offense. Most games will come down to the end of the game, CW should make a difference in the 4th quarter.

Nate Davis is the example of a free agent that failed, more player stories of failing that surprise in free agency. If Jenkins plays most of the games going forward, I would bring him back at a team friendly contract. Draft a rookie and have him in place if he keeps getting hurt. There are no top guards available this offseason that are young. The only above average centers is Connor Williams and he isnt playing well. I trust Bill Murray more than who would be available. Draft OLs and sort it out.

It pivoted from Crosby because that is a pipe dream and went to spending money on the OL where we need it the most.

Jenkins injury history will follow him to free agency. I see Poles giving him a 3-20 mil contract with game starts tied to bonuses. He will bring someone in to compete at that spot (rookie?) . Its like the Braxton situation, if you get better you start, if not, here comes Kiwan. Free agents are sketchy, see Nate Davis, above average player that bombed. He will more likely bring in Billings type players at a small price and roll the dice. He will lean to the draft to find starters in the middle. Bates is signed thru next year so he will start at some point in time but he is a question mark. I think 2 of our first 3 picks are OL. We have to keep in mind we have a QB, when fully developed can make the OL look better with a quick release and quick decisions.

Stats can be misleading, Mahomes hasnt played well yet the Chiefs are 6-0, they have a great coach and good defense , everything matters.

Of course we could use an upgrade on the DL but with some flashes from Taylor, Walker playing well and Booker developing, I dont think Poles brings in a huge contract to disrupt the cap situation. We need thatcap space to get some OL next year and resign Allen on a team friendly contract. If Braxton doesnt get better, Poles drated Kiwan A. to take his place and Jones becomes the swing tackle. Wright has stuggled but still has a high ceiling. If Jenkins can stay healthy, I think Poles brings him back. We have 2 positions to fill on the OL. Once Bates gets on the field we will see if he is what Poles thinks he is. He is signed for next year also. He can be plugged in ar RG or OC depending on who else comes here. If he adds a FA and drafts a couple OL, our OL will be fine going forward.

Every year is different but the end of last year we should have beat Detroit twice and lost 17-9 to GB , beat Minny. We competed with those teams last year and will again this year. By the time we get to division , we my have the best QB playing. Darnold is pedestrian, Goff can be raddled an Love likes to turn over the ball. We seemed to be blessed this year with injures( none serious so far) and other teams are losing players. The schedule was given to us to develop a rookie QB and he is getting better. I think we win all of our home games this year that would put us at least 3-3 in the divsion. So far we are 8-0 with the end of last season. I think we end up with a winning record and could be playoff bound. Jayden Daniels hurt could be benifical but I prefer he plays.

I like that our early schedule has easier teams, gives us a chance to get CW up to speed. The coaches have time to figure the best way to use our players. Injuries is everyone's worst nightmare and we have been good as far as major injuries to star players. When our schedule hits the division we may have the best QB in it.

While in London we only committed 2 penalties.

He isnt trading anyone unless they give him a top draft pick. No one will do that. His (Herbert) depth value is more vaulable that a 6th round pick.

Poles stated he is building thru the draft, he only gets free agents to fill needs. He brought in Taylor(cheap), Jacob Martin ( coming back from injury), signed Tim Williams and drafted Booker. I dont think he is going after any DL. Pryor is the starter at RG for sake of the bad Davis but he is still listed as the backup. Murray is the backup tp Jenkins and has performed well. Bates is coming back from injury but Shelton has played better. Booker is coming off injury and was the original swing tackle. Kiran is starting to get some snaps, be it ST. I think he has every position covered with backups that are capable of good snaps. I dont think there is anyone available that can do better. We could upgrade a few spots but with who?He's not wasting trade capital and give out a big contract to a disgruntiled player.

Wow that surprises me JF1 has ddid better so far. With CW its about progress and has a higher ceiling than even Mahomes did.

Journalists are the ones promoting these trades. The only one/s I trust are Brad Biggs or similar local beat writers. Lambert is notorious for making shit up. So far the DL has not been a problem, OL yes but no good choices out there. Scherff makes 11.5 mil this year and `14.5 mil next year. He is 33 and will play at 34. Pickens did the same transformation with his body that Dexter did but havent seen it yet because of his injuries. Bookie is starting to be more noticable on tape and we have yet to see a breakout game from Sweat. I think we are find with the DL. The OL has Bates and Borom coming back plus Kiran is getting more up to speed. I think the more they play together the better play we see. If we only have a middle rated OL on the year it will be fine . Plus we have a QB that has a quick release, can be decisive and has escapabilty. Once he reaches his ceiling , we wont notice the OL.

With Murray and Pryor playing well enough I doubt it. Getting Davis was a bust, more so because of the 10 mil he paid him. Cheap free agents surprise you, expensive ones ,if it doesnt work out , are bad decisions. If anyone does want to trade someone it would an older guy with a big contract. Poles wont do that. Now Reddicks (DE) name as been in the news but it sounds like he is a character issue. Signed a one year contract for 14.5 mil and wont play because he wants more money.

I think with the prospect of Bates coming back he will wait to see what he does. The trade deadline is down the road so he has time. Kiwan is waiting in the wings if Jones doesnt get better. The worse teams that may be willing to do that probably doesnt have any playing well enough to get anything for them. Good teams value the OL. Conor Williams is playing worse than Shelton right now, has 2 sacks given up and 5 penalities. He will be a FA after this year.

I dont think Tomlin is changing the QB at 4-2. Justin is popular with his teammates and lots of people say Wilson is kind of a jerk.
