Burrow
Not yet. Too soon :) 7 days before the draft!Quick some one do a Tunsil.
Release a bong video so either Burrows or Chase drops down to us.
This is my thought as well.Although it wouldn't be my preference, I also realize there aren't going to be much in the way of LTs in free agency, and the going rate for just average players at that position is absorbanent. The same is true at DE, and corner.
When all is said, and done, if Young is gone, I'm not against moving back a few spots, and taking Herbert.
I think that us being scrappy and winning does mean something. After a long line of problematic and ineffective head coaches:I have no idea. It's been a demoralizing month. Scrappy now means nothing later. I'm sure in midseason 2021 I'll really be thrilled about that 2019 victory over the Eagles. Winning these games doesn't jeopardize 2021+ but it steadily siphons that vital 3-5% that I'm always talking about.
It will be interesting to see if Joe Burrow emerges unscathed this weekend. Reputation, I mean. Perhaps even elevated. The opportunity is there either way for him.
Georgia is by far the best defense Burrow will have faced. In fact Georgia has a one yard per play defensive advantage over LSU period. That's rare for a touchdown underdog in a game like this, and especially noteworthy since that touchdown underdog was also higher rated by consensus in preseason.
The team went from 0-4 in the first quarter of the season to 1-3 in the second quarter and now 2-2 in the third quarter.
They face the Jets (4-8), Giants (2-10), Bengals (1-11), and Patriots (10-2) in the fourth quarter of the season. The Patriots may have their Bye clinched by Week 17, without much hope of regaining home field, which would mean they'll be playing their backups in Week 17 for at least a half of the game.
So going 3-1 in the fourth quarter is a legitimate possibility...which would see the team finish 6-10 and very likely with a pick somewhere around #10 to #12 in the draft.
I share Awsi's sentiment here.
There's something demoralizing about coming up with 'scrappy' wins in 2019 that owe as much to scheduling (we seemingly have all of the worst teams in the league on our schedule) and injuries (e.g. Brian Hoyer) as the derring-do of a head coach who has absolutely nothing to lose (going for it on fourth down, calling fake punts, fake field goals, onside kicks, two-point conversions at every opportunity...because why the hell not?).
Fast-forward to 2021 and are we really going to care that we won a game two years ago because we had our punter throw a touchdown pass to our kicker? Especially as the team becomes more expensive, burdened by higher expectations, and suddenly the scrappy, aggressive play-calling of the head coach who had nothing to lose before begins calling plays with the fear of losing games foremost on his mind?
If this season ends with us unable to make a significant advance on the QB front...that will be an extraordinary shame.
BPA because we need help at almost every position.
