Probably keep blocking and getting his two to three receptions per game.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Cut bait.

Upgrade at all positions. Anywhere else in the league, he's on the couch.

Add better depth. There are plenty of hungry guys out there who can "block".


Hopefully, Sean Payton and the Broncos call on Trequan.

This. I can’t believe there isn’t a late round draft pick or even an UDFA that could come in and beat out Smith. We just have to sign enough of them.

Why, pray tell, hasn't he broken through as a top tier WR, even though he's had more than his fair share of opportunities?

Penning not ready but continuing to work on getting back ... just like all other rehabbing players at this time of year.

Solid points and take by Matt.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Penning scared me because his aggressive play could lead to costly penalties. I think he had two last year. I am pumped for him to come back. He now knows the play book and the team. He had a rough start to his career but he's usually a reliable/nasty player. He's going to mangle some LB'ers this year.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Yes, Penning had two penalties all year. A false start against Atlanta in December and a face mask against the 49er's. Nothing out of the ordinary though. By the way, that face mask call was offset by a SF penalty on the play.

What do we do with 16 million dollars though? Save it for next year? I think not. Loomis doesn't save money. He moves it around. Maybe a trade is in the works and we are ready to pick up his contract. I could get onboard if it's the right player. Who would you like to trade for? I almost started a thread on this topic.

I'd love more football but as it stands, this is ridiculous.

Can adding a second bye week solve the issue?

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

The flexing issue isn't adding any additional televised games. They're talking about moving a scheduled Thursday game late in the season to Sunday and replacing it with a previously scheduled Sunday game. Players and coaches don't like it, but it really screws us fans over bigtime. When you have a trip planned for a Sunday noon game that gets flexed to Thursday it would be extremely difficult to make the game. You'd have to take off work, reschedule hotels and/or flights. If you couldn't do that not only would you be forced to miss the game, but you'd have to try to sell the tickets. Thursday night tickets are not as desirable as a Sunday noon game for the same reasons as above.

I'd take a late-round flyer on Clayton Tune.

Sit for a couple of seasons, study, learn the playbook, and capitalize if the opportunity ever presents itself.

Last year's QB "prospect" class was pretty bad. It's crazy how the most impressive QB (Purdy) was selected in round 7 of the 2022 draft :rolleyes:.

The NFL doesn't care about the fans. Just their money!

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

On the whole, yes, but they are getting pushback on this and one of their strongest owners, John Mara, is making pretty much the same argument against the flexing that I shared above. I heard yesterday that there may be at least a couple of owners that were originally in favor of the flexing that may be changing their minds after getting major blow back. They had 22 in favor at first. It takes 24 to pass the flex proposal.

Hmm....I wonder if they should spend extra time with the coaches from now on. Why weren't they doing this before?

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Because the CBA limits the amount of time coaches can spend with players. They have to budget it out. The extra time spent with LB's would need to be offset by less time spent elsewhere. As they said, the adjustment wasn't made until Werner got injured.

Now that’s old school football.
