Way too early ....

Hey Dobbler 33.

Good Morning My friend.

Yeah, I am definitely not the one to be up to date about contracts and cap issues. This much I do know is that when Ben was in there the TEs were getting play. I am not sure if there is correlation between Ben and the lack of usage of our TEs.

So it would seem that from an "O" production standpoint Vance is not being integrated anywhere near where he should be. This is both non-strategic nor effective; especially given our young QB situation. Hang On I will do some research. Okay there it is below.

This year vs. Last Year

Just as I suspected. everything except TDs is like Night and Day. Trying to be fair, as I question is he being used more for blocking this year? I do not know. However, the statistics do not lie in that his offensive production from last year, compared to this year, are dramatically down, unacceptable, and plain Disgusting for what he brings to the table. Once again, where are the heads at of the coaching staff? The offensive usage of the TEs is so, so critical to this team; especially for a young QB. Take care.


STEELWINDS AKA The East Side Kid

 

The thing about drafting tight ends is that they usually take a few years to develop. Biggest of his career Ben needs a game changer next year. Late in the 2nd still might have a shot at the 2nd or 3rd best prospect at rb. Any L. Bell types coming out this year?

 

you are the second person suggesting taking a RB in round 2. They got Conner in '17, Samuels in '18 and Snell in '19. I just don't see the need or room for another one to be added. If they keep Keryth White, he adds that speed to the RB room.

They have to get this o-line straightened out imo. They need a LT prospect and if Finney doesn't re-sign they will need interior help. Then there is the D-line. If Gravedigger goes......yikes. Alualu has been playing very good but he is getting up there, does he come back for another year? They have Buggs but he is still an unknown.

If I had a priority list right now, I'd go 1. Off lineman 2. Def lineman (if Hargrave is gone) 3. TE since both Vanimal and Vannett probably can't wait to get out of here lol.

 

If Conner could go 16+ games id say no to RB in the 2nd. Haven't really seen what Snell can do because I don't watch college ball. Just would like a premier back to replace Conner as our main threat.

 

Conner's durability will always be a question mark and I think that is why they got Benny Snell. But Finney put 3 good games of tape out there at C when filling in for Pouncey. And you know Munchak would take him in Denver. I think Finney will have a lot of offseason attention by teams. We lost a prospect in Fred Johnson to Cincy. Patrick Morris went to the donkeys. Pouncey and Foster aren't young by any stretch and AV is regressing. I don't think Chuks or Banner are the answer at LT.

They will need to have a higher floor on the offensive lineman they pick with Sarrett as coach now.

 

Is late 2nd high enough? The rbs won't be picked over by the time we are picking.

 

it won't be high enough for a LT prospect (usually), but for a G/C lineman, I think it would be. There will be some good RBs available for sure. And the RBs are fun to watch and scout, I get it. I just don't see how you spend your highest pick adding to a crowded room. With Ben back next season, they won't be relying on the run as much I would think. They built this line for pass pro.

 

Good point on how the line is built. Wish Ben would rely on the running game more next year, he's not the gunslinger he was with Arians.

 

Well if Vance could stay healthy, and stop dropping passes, maybe he would get more opportunities. There's a big difference between having Ben at QB, as opposed to Duck and Mason.

 

As I stated before, Offensive Lineman. Rather, a better answer would be the Offensive Center position. Maurkice will likley be even worse next year despite his Pro Bowl Selection this season. Nevermind the bad snaps, his overall blocking has been more and more suspect since the beginning of the season.



I doubt B.J. Finney stays another season here. He is likely headed to Free Agency anyway. Best to find an heir apparent and soon.

 

If Tua enters but somehow drops, trade up and get him. Let him sit, rehabs and get a year or two under BB

 

You don't have to think. That's a fact. We don't have a QB coach.

 

Yes please! (wakes up from dream)....

 

That would be a gift from heaven. But, on second thought, I say No! We already have enough softies on this team. He will come in injured. We are gonna need a qb sooner rather then later
