This is where I am. It really sucks but this guy played through a ton of injuries and made some good plays. I think he wishes he had a do over but I also appreciate that Caleb didn’t throw him over the bus and as fans I think we have to look at the whole population of work vs the unfortunate sample. I also think this can be a good opportunity for DJ to grow from this as it really looked like the chemistry was finally starting to form.

If Jaquan is willing to go short I could see both being back but right now I’m guessing just Byard.

Seems like it. Seems like Nagy might be looking for an OC job since Titans just went with Saleh.

Evidently some rumors that Bears might look at Scotty Montgomery from Lions to take over. Was Ben Johnson’s running backs coach and might be out with them getting a new OC. This past year was the WR coach for Lions.

Bain is a stud but I think he’s supposed to be like a top 10 pick.

Nagy is likely getting a HC gig. He also is a free agent (similar to Flores).

Kiran is going to get cut. They tried everyone and their brother at tackle and didn’t even bring him in at guard. He’s a failed pick.

Our LB play was pretty bad. Sewell stinks, hyppolite couldn’t even get special teams snap and Jackson is a good special team / depth player. Edward’s might be cooked - he is already getting older and that injury probably costs him half a step. I think DT and De are huge needs

I feel like a good DT, safety and LB should all be in range of picks they are making in first 2 rounds. Maybe move down to get 3 in first 2 rounds.

So decent shot we lose our rb coach with Bienemy rejoining Reid and Mahomes.

Thuney was excellent against pass rush (only one bad play) but the run game was hampered having him out there…doesn’t have the speed to run the zone concepts out there. That is where Theo and Trapillo made a difference.

Yeah I think it was purely they didn’t think they could afford that in this game and made the move. Hopefully Trapillo ends up developing and recovering and another offseason helps Theo…but is also seems like we could see them look for a vet stop gap or another option.

My guess is DT or LB end up going here. Could even see a slight move down and target one of those spots or a safety. But don’t force your hand - play best talent that falls. I doubt it will be a DE.

Fun season and a nice foundation - could have won which is tough for how it ended but this was a fun year and I’m excited and confident for the future. I don’t think anyone is satisfied and I expect a lot of hard work this offseason getting better. Caleb and offense is just scratching the surface and Caleb in particular has made major growth but still has a ton of opportunities for growth (which is so exciting). Defensively I believe in the staff and they will get some key players back but I expect a lot of new faces - let’s see what staff and front office can do.

Let’s go 🐻
