    Not as impressive draft status. They'll have to play with a chip on their shoulders.
    Nwosu D2 ‘18
    *Linval was D2 ‘10

    We have definitely invested in our DL/EDGE group in top 100 picks/FA.

        still, those are all top 100 picks, you hope they’ll be quality players.
        Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

          How about this little piece of hindsight drafting?

            WFT has a great d-line, but what a price they've paid, all those #1s, and with a cherished #2 overall pick they fail to get a franchise QB? It's not how I would choose to build a team.

            Weird to imagine Herbert in WFT colors. All Snyder's boys needed to do was put Justin's name on that card and hand it in.

              WFT will have just as much trouble with our front seven as we will with theirs. Ours doesn't have the reputation, but we'll see soon enough. With our boys in this system teams will not be running on us. So I don't see running games for either team doing much.

              It's going to come down to QB play, turnovers at ST. While personally I really like Fitz...he can save his magic for another day. I like our chances!

                Starting OL is fine. All the backups suck.

                Not sure why the rookie Braiden Jaime's gets so much praise here, he didn't look that great last week and looks bad tonight. But he is a low round rookie and has promise.

                I'd cut Daniel. I'd cut Kelly.

                  Every time I see "WFT" I read "WTF" instead.

                      Two 7-9 teams in 2020. As good as your D line may have been your DBs i thought were not that effective…you still finished 7-9 so what was improved? Fitz i give you is probably an improvement but what else? Herbie is mobile and doesnt need a lot of soace to find the open target. Expect us to test your DBs.

                      Our offense has a completely retooled OL and Pipkins not starting even with a rookie in Slater i rest a lot easier. If we can effectively run block Ekeler is difficult to contain…we get a decent run game going then we can protect Herbie and at least keep the D guessing. I really like our WRs and Cook as TE are going to stress your DBs.

                      i expect a competitive game which comes down to the 4th quarter. Teams have zero tape on our O and D schemes which to me helps us more than them. I like our chances.

                      wishing for no injuries all around. I will be there too so we just have to pull this off!

                        Pipkins needs to be sent to the Practice Squad
                        Telesco needs to scour the waiver wire for somebody possibly better than Storm
                        But above all else - if there is a veteran FA to sign that is better than Pipkins or Storm - sign them

                          We will see come monday if there is a decent overpriced vet that gets cut on the OL. It was tough watching Pipkins get abused again…speed just killed him last night. Lets hope these guys continue to improve.
