This group on D seems to have zero guys that can make plays.

Evan Williams would like to chat with you. I would opine, for a rook, he looks fantastic by my aged eyes. He is the guy out there playing to the ball.

I was more looking at the lbs and pass rush.

Gotcha. Yeah they are essentially just holding point and or biting. Tho, as a whole, I think we should be pleased with the run D. Other than an 8 yd run to Van Ness side when he was out and a couple QB Edge bites and misses the run D within the LOS has been really good all half. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Clifford's accuracy is lacking in moments but that was a nice 4th down throw to Dubose. Dubose has drawn a key penalty and now converted a 4th down. Gotta love that.

[yourout]

It will be interesting to see what happens with Wilson.

[edfunderburk]

Emmanuel Wilson is a keeper 

He’s too young, cheap, talented, & hungry to risk cutting loose

I mean, he did everything in that drive AJ Dillon did not do in his opportunities. Hard not to see he is a younger, cheaper, better version - obviously, pass pro is the ? here. 

Also, my Grant Dubose Truther movement has legs. I love this young man.

[yourout]

That checkdown's a mistake when you're inside a minute and only have one time out. 

Just throw it away

Absolutely. Gotta throw that at his feet.

[homer]

someone is gonna get a really nice receiver from GB after cuts

[Joseph Zarr]

Grant. Dubose. Swagger. I'M TELLING YOU BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU.

That's my guy.

[Joseph Zarr]

In all seriousness, Dubose is too good to not roster lock. He is smooth. He is big. He has really good hands. It's like getting another Wicks who simply missed last year due to injury. There is a reason he was drafted. We are now starting to see it. And, we are seeing what the beat reporters have been sharing about the practices: he is flashing daily. Now he dominated a half in his first real action.

I'm thinking we should be looking to swap a receiver for a linebacker or d lineman from someone.

[Joseph Zarr]

Pretty wild how much bigger Colby Wooden looks this season. He looks so much more massive. He's put in the work in the weight room that's for sure.

Or three

Or a swing tackle 

[Joseph Zarr]

Ahhhh yes a Royce Newman sighting with a negative play? You don't say!

[edfunderburk]

I want to see Pratt now rather than end of game against scrubs

[Joseph Zarr]

For a late PS addition over the final six weeks last year, Joel Wilson is looking just fine as a deep back-up TE. Nice hands. Fluid in his routes so far. Granted, limited exposure. But has looked good on his two opportunities.

[Joseph Zarr]

Keep two kickers. Too much talent at the position.

[edfunderburk]

Why do other kickers boot the ball straight down the center & Carlson weaves his kicks just inside the upright?

Joseph looks like a good option for a team with Super Bowl aspirations 

Carlson scares me

Which two? We have three options

Wilson does look good 

I hope we keep Sims over Davis 

He’s younger, cheaper, & has more upside 

[Joseph Zarr]

Man, the secondary is tackling. What a beautiful sight! Thank the heavens.

I feel better about the safety additions that I do with our linebacker depth.
