Double A is probably CB4 right now. James is giving him a run but I think he's still in the lead. After that take your pick I'm not really sure about Battle or Minor or whoever else. I think if it got that far might have to lean on the safeties. Bad start with some of the injuries but I think we just have to have faith that the top 5 seem like a pretty good group.
 
Gotta say this is kind of an unbelievable quote from Baker considering he has had somewhat of an attitude at times last year. Vrabel’s coaching style paying dividends.
In two years Baker will be the next overnight sensation.
 
This is why good drafting is essential. You can tolerate a dud or 2 if you are also finding diamonds. Makes our incredible run drafting low all the more impressive.

This wasn't a drafting error.

Duggers received a huge contract for a safety as a second round pick. He wasn't a bad pick.

The contract was what was bad.

Add Bolden to the missing list. Haven't heard his name much. I had high hopes for him.

I am not sure he would have gotten the contract if he weren’t a high pick. He got paid on projection and lack of options. We finally have a few safeties who can cover.

Same coached by Deion dominant athleticism, good length small school. He was a binkie of mine leading up to the draft

The contract was ridiculous, so yes.

But just that Duggers was here as mostly a starter for 3 years, and was considered for a second contract (how many players have even been resigned here?), means he wasn't a bad 2nd round pick.
 
Nope, those are the real things. I’m pretty sure he’s been doing hot yoga, and his arms are now 38 inches and go all the way to his knees.

Too long, then.

If they're not too short, they're too long.

Cut the bum.

He is an okay pick . Not a game changer . We overpaid for him . He was slightly better than deatrich wise on a impact perspective . That's it. We tend to overrate our players .

Clearly this is the only caliber of specimen that can reasonably play LT in the NFL. Anything less is camp fodder.
 
I hate to keep harping on the passing game as that is only one part of why you win. run defense, pass defense, special teams, running game... ect...

But at this point this team looks like it will be as good as the passing game allows it to be. They seem ready to be a very good run team. Their D will be able to get some pressure. Once they have their top 2 CBs back and out there you'd think they'd have a good pass D, particularly with the depth they've shown. It's not all all pros but it all seems pretty solid.

Yes this passing attack has honestly been disappointing. I know Diggs is still getting back into it but we start in less than a month and right now is he really doing that much better than Pop or Hollins or Boutte? I don't think so. He seems to be the #1 only by reputation to this point. I feel like i've heard more positive things about Boutte and Pop to this point in camp.

You keep hearing about multiple drops all around every day by everyone.

You keep hearing about Drake taking 'sacks' and missing throws.

It is not good enough. I've said before and i will say again. If this team doesn't make the playoffs this year is a failure IMO. Drake and Co to go where we want them to need playoff experience. IF they don't get it this year... that means next year is pretty much destined to be a just another set up year. And now Drake's running contracct is close to running out.

They can not afford to drop games early which are winnable. They are not good enough to recover from it and make the playoffs.
 
The passing game is largely a matter of timing… which currently is a work in progress. I’m not too concerned about it, many of misses in the second unit were terrible throws by Dobbs… guys were open.

Keep working, keep grinding… chemistry and execution will improve. For now they can block and run the ball… but it all starts with blocking.
 
Who was the WR who had an excellent pre-season, became a forum favourite, but then got cut anyway? Just hoping the same doesn't happen to Efton.

Been a few but the 1st to come to mind was Berrios?
