    i know we are not done yet but we can start to talk about possibilities for next year.

    WR: pickens will or should be back.

    i'm thinking about demarcus robinson from the rams. he's their #3 guy but has preformed quite well when one of the top two have been out. he also does well as that number 3 option.

    would anyone consider DJ back? rough year after leaving here. mostly his own doing. i probably wouldn't go that route.

    draft pick? would be nice but with wilson, that's two rookies to learn at the same time.

    spend a bunch on a proven guy? we have a lot of holes to fill though. these guys get quite pricey.


    RB: sign warren.

    draft one is my thinking. usually plenty of free agents sitting out there too.


    O-Line: this one could be tricky. we have a center and guard. most likely two tackles and the other vet guard for a year. maybe. are they good enough?

    free agency? draft?


    QB: ?????

    TE: pretty good shape there.


    DL: we need to draft help.

    ILB: pretty good shape.

    OLB: pretty good shape.

    safety: may be in decent shape if last years pick picks up where he left off. draft.

    CB: need one. maybe two. draft? free agency?

    :cool:

    I’ll get back to you in about 29 hours

    Although if we lose I’ll get back to you in the spring because this board will be a troll paradise

    I’m thinking I’ll go ice fishing with @JackAttack 5958@JackAttack 5958

    I don’t think it will get that bad most everyone expects a loss and is super down on MT based on recent posts. In other words it’s already bad and we have little reason to be surprised or disappointed.

    I’d piss on a spark plug if I’d thought it would do any good.

    Somebody should've asked Tomlin if he'd considered that route after the last game.

    I assume Demarcus Robinson will be facing a suspension? Also McVay and Stafford make WR look good (see Jefferson, Van), compared to our simpleton strategies.

    I can go do something else

    Thank you for your service and

    If we lose tomorrow it should start by getting a new HC.

    They can, but I'd argue that even they were strapped at times with Jefferson. I like the guy, but remember following him a bit as a potential fantasy sleeper a few years back and he never seemed to step up, even when Kupp went down and made him the WR1.

    And our starters will have played like 3 series the whole preseason because we are a well oiled machine!

    Unfortunately I know what you're saying. Going to 3 preseason games has been a flop in my eyes.

    Pickens is a talent beyond comprehension. However, he’s as much a cancer as his talent affords. Unless he has 100-150 yards receiving…in a win @ Baltimore - I’m not hesitating, rid of him.

    1. i know we are not done yet but we can start to talk about possibilities for next year.

      WR: pickens will or should be back. NO see what trade market brings

      i'm thinking about demarcus robinson from the rams. he's their #3 guy but has preformed quite well when one of the top two have been out. he also does well as that number 3 option.

      would anyone consider DJ back? rough year after leaving here. mostly his own doing. i probably wouldn't go that route. No, even though he can play.

      draft pick? would be nice but with wilson, that's two rookies to learn at the same time. Ekumbe sp from Ohio State at #25

      spend a bunch on a proven guy? we have a lot of holes to fill though. these guys get quite pricey.


      RB: sign warren.

      draft one is my thinking. usually plenty of free agents sitting out there too. Draft Singleton from PSU in third round/ FA/UFA, if Steelers do not bring back Najee.


      O-Line: this one could be tricky. we have a center and guard. most likely two tackles and the other vet guard for a year. maybe. are they good enough?

      free agency? draft? Fire OL coach, go FA market at LT/ possibly guard


      QB: ????? Depending on how much Wilson would want? Draft Dart in 4th round keep Allen. QB drafted high in 2026.

      TE: pretty good shape there. Let's get rid of dead weight.


      DL: we need to draft help. Need help here especially at NT.

      ILB: pretty good shape.

      OLB: pretty good shape.

      safety: may be in decent shape if last years pick picks up where he left off. draft. NEED, get rid of dead weight.

      CB: need one. maybe two. draft? free agency? Possibly 2nd rd pick or FA Get rid of dead weight.
