Quote from: TecnoGenius on Today at 04:37:48 AMSome think that.  Others think otherwise.  The great thing is we'll know who's right on draft night.  If we go OL FB OL WR then the "draft positions" people won.  If we do DB DE WR LB then you'll be right!

How do you feel KW has approached it in the past?  Positions or BPA?  The past is 100% a predictor of KW future performance, if there's one thing we've learned about The Can Mafia over the years.

There are times when Walters has focused on positions, i.e., Olinemen and times when he focuses on the BPA.  This year we lost JH51 so in the early rounds, my guess is we select Olinemen.  There is not enough knowledge about the signed Olinemen to say we are set at that position.

Quote from: LXTSN on March 28, 2024, 03:40:35 PMThere is nothing I would love more than to see Eli catching passes lol
However, my guess is he doesn't have the catching ability and agility equal to a good FB/TE.

Ya, but if he gets any momentum going on YAC, it'll be fun to watch him bulldoze DBs.  The smart ones will just go for the leg tackle.

I would throw one to him early in the season just to make LBs have to pause a second to think about defending it.  Don't have to throw him one the rest of the season  ;D

Quote from: dd on March 28, 2024, 12:15:01 AMWhen the fullbacks name is Mike Sellers, I m all for it, but these smaller runningback/fullback types, I just don't see a need for them.

But wasn't Mike Miller basically that?  He's not a super tall or beefy guy.  And he was pretty useful at the FB role.  I'm not sure even-beefier (but also short) Jackson was any better, and he wasted a DI spot to boot.

Quote from: theaardvark on March 27, 2024, 03:00:39 PMStarting 8 or even 9 NATS reduces the "need" for a backup NAT WR.  Not saying we don't *need* one in the draft, I'd be surprised if one of our first 3 picks isn't a WR...

It's not the starting ratio that causes the need for a backup WR, it's to have enough injury backups at WR/RB.

"A Designated American (DA) is a non-Starting American player who may play on all special teams.  During regular offensive or defensive possessions, he may only replace an American player on the field."

Which means if a NAT leaves the field, he can only be replaced by another NAT, not a DA.  (We can argue how this changes with a non-DA extra-IMP due to 8-9 starting NATs, but my read is NAT can only be replaced by NAT (or "NA" FAKENAT in 2023+ and only *if* it's an injury situation).

Back to the point, since we start 3 NAT at WR/RB, we surely need to have 2 (or more) WR/RB-type NAT players dressed as backup.  One more a RB than WR: Johnny.  One more a WR than RB, but could be a McCrae type who can do both (ya, he was an IMP, but his type is perfect in this example).

BOO was that guy.  He's gonno, and whoever is next man up (you guys mentioned Murphy) has to be at least around BOO level (is he??), otherwise we need to start eyeing WR DP.

If both Brady and Woli go down in the same game, things will suck bad if we field Johnny + a not-ready or weak young'n NAT WR.

Jets play another very good game, but PP let us down again. Tough one.

Cannot speak to what is the pros or cons as expressed behind closed doors by the Jet coaches but .......
Samberg's total time on ice ( T.O.I.) has been sliding backwards

His average total is now at 15:30 which includes 2:04 from killing penalties.
Last 5 game log shows 12:22 (2:19), 13:35 (o.28), 13:08 (1:31) & 2 PIM, 19:55 (o:50), vs Caps just 12:30 (2:01).

Quote from: Pigskin on March 28, 2024, 03:13:28 PMIs Samberg injured?

I hope so, because keeping him on the bench in favour of half those guys is a travesty.
