That's what I heard too. Maybe not to the full extent when he was having All Pro seasons but I feel rather comfortable with Tre as CB2 to start the year. With Ingram, Jackson and Stong to fight over CB3 and 4? Yeah I feel ok

It's great news! It does seemingly lock Tre White to start the year but honestly he might have won the job outright. There is abundant depth and Hairston can get worked in through the season

This is my gut speaking but I think the Dolphins are headed for disaster this year. While I appreciate that they are starting to rebuild their trenches those take time and their O-line got further injuries IIRC At this point they have a quarter of their cap tied up on Tua and Hill. The bill is about to come due and I think this might be a nail in the coffin for McDaniel if he doesn't go farther than sneaking into the playoffs and going one and done Lol it would be so Billsy for him to get healthy juuuust in time to play us And for the Ravens? Playing us Week 1 after the playoffs? If there's a coin flip I think he plays

Oof. He's one of their better receiving threats too.

Here's hoping. I'm not going to rush to judgement based on sideline chatter. An MCL would suck but he'd be back in the season and be able to get up to speed gradually As much as any lost time from Hairston would suck Im actually pretty bullish about our depth. I never got the "Bills have a need at CB" talk at draft time. As much as we give Dane Jackson grief he's pretty par for the course for CB2 around the league, not to mention you have Tre (who is looking solid so far) and Ingram (who I thought looked good in limited time last year), plus Dorian Strong as potential upgrades

Come on get your farrier to work on it. You don't have one carpool with your furrier

I want to pump the breaks on forecasting too much of next year buuuut... I think it's safe to say that even before free agency there was a strong core: pretty much the entire offense is intact and there weren't major losses on defense But even just in the start of free agency they seemed to get close to what they were at the end of last year. I was confident that they'd find a deep and competent CB group post draft between Benford Hairston, Tre, Dane, and Ingram. So the things I've been most worried about were DL and WR and while it's early...man, if even half of them can do this consistently when the season starts my areas of concern might be strengths Keon has broken his funk, Palmer and Moore look at least as good as Cooper and Hollins if not better and the DL looks like they got a bunch of special guys if we know what to do with them

Thank you kindly for the thread

I'll be honest I kind of glossed over him because he seemed to be Oliver's backup/replacement but he's showing the penetration that Oliver has been inconsistent at. I'm not mad if we are going all in on 3 tech attacks

That's two out of three days he's popped

Tell Josh's testicles to watch out

I think we are aligned on this takedown. As I have said before, I think it's ok to be frustrated at where Coleman is right now especially seeing Ladd McConkey busting loose in LA. But to your point, if the team wanted to replace the role envisioned for Coleman they wouldn't have been bringing in the 5'10 Elijah Moore. Do you want to argue that they might push Coleman down the depth chart? Maybe. Coleman has been with the 1s while Moore has been with the 2s. But really, they all do such different things that I sincerely think that Joe Brady understands that unless they get spectacularly lucky no one on the roster is going to be an elite prototypical #1 outside WR. What I see him doing instead is setting the roster and gameplan each week to hone in on a defense's weakness. Kincaid and Coleman will be blocking possession receivers Coleman and Shakir are YAC monsters Samuel and Cook can catch out of the backfield Moore and Palmer are vertical stretchers I mentally circle back to the 2023 Cowboys and 2024 Jags games. Brady recognized glaring weaknesses in both defenses, the Cowboys subpar run defense and the Jags insistence on man coverage and kept spamming those counters (Running away from Micah Parsons, motion to identify man matchups)

Which is, in effect, cutting. Coleman is on a second round rookie deal. It's not like Beane would be trying to pawn off an aging free agent signing. Even if you got a trade the salary cap gains are practically wiped out by the guy you're replacing him on the roster for, based on Coleman having a 'meh' rookie season Did he bang your girl? Because even if you aren't a fan of Coleman's game having a cost controlled body who has an outside shot of developing is going to be a lot more appealing for a GM than taking a stroll through a retirement home so I can only guess this is a deep personal grudge

I mean he certainly knows how to make a defense look good: coach offense for their opponents Alternately: Good for him. Running a defense is something he's never done before but the same could be said about running an offense

As much as I am very much not shutting the door on Coleman, every time I've heard Elijah Moore's name mentioned since practices began it's been followed by "makes a play"
