What intrigues me about this conversation is some say don’t get in a tizzy about players like JT way down the totem pole of importance, focus more on your top 10-15 players. I get that in the sense that your team is as good as your top 5 players are. If my 5 best players play better than your top five best players, I will usually win. However what i’m also hearing is we have a serious problem pressuring the opposition QB and protecting our own QB. So in terms of our trenches, specifically on the D side, should not our starting NT (knowing it’s not the only positional D issue on this team e.g WJ floating around freelancing with little impact) be in our top 10-15 best players? Might it be something we invest in more knowing it may take away from another area? Just a thought from an armchair pretend GM.

Yup no matter the situation always repping our colors wherever I go. 🙂

From my layperson's eyes, Strev looks uncomfortable when he drops back and goes thru his reads, is it confidence, pass protection, injury all the above?

I'm sensing the cliche's will be coming out in full force this week i.e., doing some soul searching, looking for answers, I believe in this team, this lockerroom, need to take a good hard look in the mirror, we need to play better etc etc We're 6 and 6, the season is obviously not lost yet, we're not firing anyone at this stage probably not even sitting any starter but status quo keep the course is I think being legitimately challenged at this point.

I didn't see any of his work in TC but did watch his very small body of work in the 2024 GC and was intrigued?

And I’ll joke around contributing nothing other than my charming personality and making the coaches veins pulsate in their foreheads when I offer up my football ‘opinions’.

If you did a breakdown of every D player from game tape i’m wondering how JT would score out?

Exactly. If he shits the bed, you release him or put him back to strictly short yardage. We got a glimpse of him in a real game at last years GC. Let’s see more even if he didn’t perform as well we hoped for at tc and preseason. I don’t think there is much to lose, it’s not like our QB cupboard is fully stocked.

With @TBURGESS as the contract specialist.

I believe it’s you’re a joke not your a joke coming from me who makes multiple grammatical errors daily. Love you @Booch please be gentle.

Well Jim Barker for one. Wait a sec . . .

It seems the closest we get to it is throwing a screen.

Hope you’re right about the Elk game cuz the fam and I will be attending that one. Just make the damn playoffs?

put that line on your resume lol

sure but his effort and hustle didn’t translate into much as usual. Sure gap sound as TH enjoyed multiple steamboats to do his thing. yes JT is not the only problem but bigger picture we do not offer any pressure with a 3 or 4 man rush and then when we blitz we get burnt. And yes our offense has to be better. And yes our top guys need to be better. And yes our coaches need to be better.

No not tasty at all, a bit bitter.

At the very least a fine.

Yup feels like we’re starting to eat our own. The past five years have spoiled us. I’m sure Sasky fans are enjoying all of this but who cares they suck and will always suck. Amen.

Yup but he proved he wasn’t done when we picked him up. But he has somewhat regressed to date and with this latest injury the writing may be firmly on the wall to move on to the next phase of his life outside of playing football.

I’m sorry, what?

I know it’s saving himself from something else.

cough cough Jake Thomas cough cough

Based on his post, this is one of those times where not saying anything was probably the best course of action for him. CJ Reavis shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

How am i suppose to tackle? Is that a trick question? Good gracious.

You’re laughing at me being concerned about his quality of life after taking another of many over his career hellish hits, a lot of them resulting in concussions that more than likely will not turn out well for him? Wow.
