I'd just like to start with having a QB to over pay in the first place...? Seriously, they are hosed...

I've had a few of them. Since you are dealing with tendons and ligaments, it takes some time. I can bend mine like it's double jointed now. He can actually re-injure it by squeezing the football too tightly. If it were a huge game, he could suck it up and play. The smart bet, is to have him come back after the Carolina game.

I think Arizona is in full tank mode regardless of Murray. They know he's not the guy and want one of those pics at the top. I'll be surprised if they win another game.

I really give the staff a lot of credit for Jenkins. The time they took with him to get his lower back and core in proper condition was imperative. They literally saved his career. His core is the key, because that latch and mirror technique, the blogger talked about, takes a tremendous about of core strength. I like him and Wright next to each other.

I think Davis is back this week.

After thinking upon it, you guys are right about Whitehair being done. We need a center and swing tackle and that's it.

Couldn't agree more. I pointed out in another thread that he hasn't even seen this type of talent before. Also, in this thread, there is a video of him saying he went to a QB guru that identified a specific weakness in his upper back. They worked on it and his velocity increased. Rome wasn't built in a day. I'll bet money he works on it day one of the off season. Bagent is a keeper. Whether he ever becomes "high level" or not, is up to him and the coaching he receives. (Same for Justin)

I'd try to restructure Jackson and Whitehair. Whitehair would be a great swing guard and emergency center. Jackson is still starting caliber when healthy.

Why do so many people hate Collinsworth? I think he's the most knowledgeable commentator since Madden.

100%

In the meantime, another game with no sacks...

I like Bagent, but he really needs a professional off-season to work on his arm and what pro defenses do. Coming from D-II, this is simply tangent like he's never seen out there. That's how you get a 125 passer rating in the first half and finish at 68. Justin is super close to being ready. I heard he was practicing Friday, with and without a glove on his throwing hand. I don't want to see him until he's completely ready, so he can be his best. Also Thursday, we have have our OL intact for the first time all season, in addition to getting Herbert back. Not sure on ESB.

Five turnovers is always a bad recipe.

It means nothing in regards to Fields.

They interviewed him after the trade deadline. He essentially said he'd understand why, but wouldn't be happy if Sweat got paid before him. Especially, Poles saying they'll take care of their own first.

Hopefully, Jaylon Johnson is next. Within reason, of course.

He's the head coach. His D is getting ran, but it's obsolete and he's too stubborn to realize it.

No to Rivera. His defenses don't even perform to expectation. His time is done.

I never understood why they didn't just make him a WR. He's literally a bigger and faster Megatron.

Other than really needing to upgrade our pass rush, try this angle. Last year we traded for Claypool because we were desperate for WR help. Would we have done that if we weren't desperate to develop Justin? Don't think so. This year we can't get a pass rush. Poles signs Walker, Ngakoue and Billings. Drafts Dexter and Pickens, who we know need developed. We still can't get to the quarterback. At this point, Poles has to evaluate his coach and he used a second round pick to do it. With our needs, it seems huge. In the long run, Poles needs to decide if Flus is the guy. Is Getsy the guy? Is Justin the guy? The OL is working back into shape while Justin heals, giving us time to evaluate Bagent. If Bagent succeeds, it means Getsy succeeds. (Check) Hopefully, Justin returns and succeeds.(Check) Hopefully, Sweat will help unlock Ngakoue on the other side.(and check)

I agree and slightly disagree. Yes, we want someone we know can play the position. But, the best player on most schools plays tackle. That tackle may have the traits to play center in the NFL. It's hard to judge a college center, as they don't have assignment responsibilities of an NFL center. As an example Jason Kelce only played 12 games at center. He went to UC as a running back. The savvy and athleticism may be elsewhere. No more Hronis Grasu's.

When and where? At the risk of Darnell Wright? No. This was supposed to be the year of Justin. Who else was out there?

I want to draft the best center prospect possible. Poles needs to search for football IQ and leadership as well as the obvious physical traits. We don't know, the center we draft could be playing tackle right now. This position was the only thing that left me wanting in the off season. Poles missed on not getting one.

Brock Bowers is a stud. Drafting him will be like drafting a number one receiver.

Jaylon and Montez are the perfect Transition and Franchise candidates if they prove hard to sign.
