I think it is spelled with a u, two s's and a y
I'm so glad there is at least one person on the forum of dum dums who is able to spell
Are troglodytes the ones on the roof of the cave or the ones on the floor?
Obviously the floor. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to drag their knuckles.
One thing I want to see changed on this team is to make the INTs a reality. So many opposing QB passes, this past season, could have been INTs for our Defense but more were dropped, or just missed, after hitting our DBs in the hands, or elsewhere. There is nothing quite like an INT to change the momentum of a game except for maybe, a Pick Six.
It's crazy that we were 4th best in the league in INTs and we seemingly dropped at least 2 a game. I'm sure that's true with all teams, but yeah our guys get their hands on the ball a lot.
More I reflect back on the season, the more I think a very close second to poor ILB play was poor play from Lowery inside.
Everyone is wanting WR/LB at #30, but if they could get a serious upgrade to Lowery's spot, it may take the defense to an entirely new level.
Whoever the best football player is at #30....that's who I want.
I don't GAF what position.....and that includes QB
Hey, at some point that's how we ended up with Justin Harrell, albeit, at #15 overall.
Upgrading the DL would be nice, but I don’t think it’s a requirement. Lowry isn’t a superstar, but he isn’t a slouch. He’s not an every down starter, but in a rotation I think he’s just fine. Same with Lancaster. We need Adams to step up and be that guy. Adding a Raekwon Davis wouldn’t hurt obviously, but I think a better ILB (or 2) like Queen or Murray makes the entire defense look a lot more competent.
Adams didn't look like he was becoming that guy this last year.
Maybe he had a bad ankle.

I dont know, every time I watched a play against San Fran, Lowry was falling over a blade of grass and letting the pulling guard ignore him to go find someone else to hit.
I think it's the right time to draft for need more than the nebulous "BPA".
I also think you're more likely to find a WR that can contribute at #30 vs ILB or TE. Ideally, ILB and TE is addressed in FA, and in a dream scenario you grab Littleton and Hooper in FA and you get a Jalen Reagor, Laviska Shenault, Justin Jefferson, or Tee Higgins falling to you at 30.
Reagor is the guy I lust for, 4.3 speed, he's the Tyreek Hill type this offense needs....
regarding Interceptions: There's a reason those guys are playing defense. It would be nice if they caught at the rate a good receiver does but for most of them, it's just not gonna happen on a consistent basis. Look at other team's discussions and you'll see the same lamentation :"weeda won except for the dropped pick sixes"
When they do manage to hold on at a higher rate, they wind up with a season like the 2018 Bears. Remember them? 27 ints. In the all time great discussion? poised to dominate for years? The dbacks repeatedly gave that shitty offense short fields. When they regressed to the mean, the offense showed its true nature. Actually below the average- This year they had only 10.
The drops I remember our DB's having were not of the "it's why they're not WR's" variety. They were - hit him in the hands while squared up to the ball - type of drops. Maybe they all just need contacts.

I think that first sentence is really interesting and probably accurate. Especially this year when you should see a few top 15 WR's dropping to end of RD1 or top of RD2. The more I see about Murray and Queen the less I think either will make it to #30. If they fell into the mid 20's I wonder if Gute doesn't move up to grab one like PIT did on us last year. Depends on how badly teams in the 5-10 slots ahead of us need an ILB.
It doesn’t look like a very good year for TE or ILB prospects. On the other hand, this is a talented and deep WR draft class so you could very well get a guy near end of round 1 that can come in and play.

Again and again and again... until he's older than Brady!
Did Lazard also suggest going for 2 in Arizona?
The Packers talked up Burks at ILB again at the combine, but that'd better be due for PR reasons. Gute cannot rely on Burks being a starter when he has not shown anything to suggest it. That they interviewed every ILB on the block at the combine is telling.
Trying to get a 7th-rounder or a six-pack of Hamm's.
