So we grab Chucky. I’m stoked.
Then we hire Olson. Now i’m Pretty fucking unhappy, I have to tell you. Because it shows a questionable decision-making process right off the bat. We should have learned our lesson with Knapp redux and the Bresnahan retread debacle. Disaster.
Then we whiff on every premium FA out there. Best we get is Whitehead - who’s a solid workhorse and nothing great. Nelson’s speed is ultra-questionable. Beyond that we’re fucked.
So i’m Waiting for Chucky to kill the draft and make me happy about SOMETHING. And I get this. The hits keep coming. It’s like taking an uppercut from Tyson after he already knocked you senseless with that left hook.
So here’s what’s going to happen in 2018.
Arden Key is going to light it up for us early. He may or may not get suspended this season, I kind of expect him to start fucking up in ‘19. He’s going to be our instant impact guy.
Rahsaan Melvin will do pretty well, and we’re all goin to like Whitehead I think.
Kolton will be playing RT and he’s gonna get ass-fucked by division rivals. Carr is going to get terrorized, Chubb is going to dominate us. It might just get bad enough that we’ll try out the other kid at RT. Kolton has a lot to learn.
Vanderdoes will very quickly be replaced by one of the rooks. Not sure which one. I don’t really care, either one is prob an upgrade over him, but that’s not saying a damn thing.
Our meniscus CB won’t do shit this year, much like Conley last season. We’re going to have to rely on former backups to start for us.
I really believe we’re in good shap at both S spots. No prob there.
I think we see Key and Mack starting at DE. I know Gruden wants to get Irvin’s hand down, but we haven’t done shit to shore up that other OLB spot. I have zero faith in Corey fucking James, I think he’s a loser. Nick Morrow never impressed me, and Marquel is just God-awful. So not only do we NEED Irvin there, we also need Bowman back
So Key and Mack start at DE, and I believe Ellis and Hall at DT.
At CB we’ll have Conley/Melvin/Worley starting, which has potential to be solid or just plain not good. Who the fuck knows?
So we’re fielding a defense that has MASSIVE question marks all over the field. We lost a lot of contributors, some of them even good.
So we better be able to score about 27 points/gam. And I don’t see that happening.
