Who is going to backup Kara’s Cappa if they go down? We saw sharping get man handled and burrow throwing in to the ground how many times. Ford and scharping are good against average. The result will be the same if they face the chiefs and forget about the eagles.
At the end of the day what stopped them from driving down 1 time and taking the Super Bowl 2 years ago or the championship game last year? I mean in both games the defense gave them the ball 4-5 times in the second half of each to go down and end it. Improving defense is great but not the weakness of this team
It was the weakness and fall off in talent between starters and backups on the offensive line and imo that weakness still exists. Drafting another 2 wide receivers for what appears to now me a modified run and shoot offensive philosophy doesn’t work if the quarterback is having to throw the ball into the ground 2 times every set of downs. More utilization of A blocking tight end would help take the pressure off the edges but that’s not part of the run and shoot philosophy I guess
I get your argument. But I believe there’s a broader picture. Receiver wise Charlie Jones replaced Tyler Boyd that was an important pick. CBS says he was biggest steal and best pick.Myles Murphy was an important pick as our pass rush suffered depth wise when Trey Hendrickson went down. Plus he’s very versatile and I just posted that According to Arif Hasan's NFL Draft Industry Consensus Big Board Murphy was the consensus steal of the draft. DJ Turner had the 4th fastest 40 since 2003 at the combine. He adds depth, and Doug Fararr of Touchdown wire called him an A+ pick and immediate starter. At the worst his speed will be invaluable on special teams and the one of the best backup corners in the league. Jordan Battle was all about depth and value. He really helps depth and is all world locker room guy. Coming from Bama he’s groomed and Daniel Jeremiah predicts he’s a game 1 starter. Then we’ve got a battle and again at the worst the best backup safety in the league.
After that the picks were a punter with great hang time and extremely consistent. A tall fantastic athlete in WR Losivas. Chase Brown a RB was #33 on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List. He was a great value.
What makes this draft excellent is it really added depth and I mean legit depth. It added speed. Everybody worried about starters. 20 games requires solid depth. Some teams have a great starting 22 but if there’s a huge drop off good luck in January.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
