So by tomorrow you’ll be speculating if he still has a pulse?

Well at least this should keep him from getting plucked off the PS. Was wanting to see what Maxwell would do here.

His college numbers were insane with his Sacks and Pressures. Mellow

Im thankful everyday the Falcons chose to pick Kyle Pitts over this man. HOF level talent without the ego. We got so lucky.

Cut down day for Corners is going to be a problem.

I can count 5 easily (big 3 plus draft picks). Then there is Sydney Jones making plays and an upgrade from Eli. Then there is Jalen Davis who has always shined when given the opportunity on Defense and is a Special Teams ace.

They also love Allan George.

They can only keep 6 since I wouldn't think they'll go light on Safety with not knowing what they have back there.

Agreed. I think going lighter at OL (especially with Collins iffy) or RB (4th is inactive) and careying another CB (Ivey/Davis), DE (Gunter/Basham), or S (Anderson/Thomas) is where this is heading. 

To me, the guys below the cut line at CB, DE, S, and WR have a better chance to help the team than the last guy above it on the OL, or maybe even RB.

Sydney Jones an upgrade over Eli? Sounds like a ridiculous statement to me. Maybe we should wait until we actually see someone on the field before we get too hyped up.

Im not sure where this whole notion that Eli Apple is bad came from.  I mean I get he was a bust as the 10th pick but he played fine for us.

5 things absolutely stand out vs ‘22.

1. Our depth is much better.
2. Our backup QB spot is better.
3. Our secondary is fast AF ( so says Kay Adams lol)
4. Our cornerback spot is much better
5. Our WR depth is much better.

I’d add the OL is much improved but that’s anticipation at this point.
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.

I'm still worried about the secondary and I suppose I will be until we see it on the field. Just not sure how we don't take a step backwards this year losing Bates, Bell and even Apple. 

I do think the OL is better and I'm pumped with the news of Jonah excelling on the right side. I wasn't really a big fan of Collins on the right the dude was always on the ground but he did give it hell.

Notice I didn’t say better. I said faster lol. I think we are better at corner. Not as good at safety initially.

If the OL is near top 10 look out this offense will be explosive
