Zion got hurt at dt, and gooden was a solid add. Payton, pyburn, butler had 1.5-2 sacks each. Reliford got hurt early in season, and cj jackson showed he wasn't ready when got reps. Not sure where Austin Thomas touched your voodoo doll, but good lord ha.

Oline was our issue. Not like we didnt try to get more tackles. Same way we tried for wr conception... dont get every guy you offer. Kelly and a davis didnt develop an oline of top 200 talent kids. Simple as that. Defense was solid enough to make a run

As I said. OM got the same amount of production from ONE guy that we got from what we paid for 3

Should have allocated the money we gave to WRs who did nothing and 1 sack d ends to an OT.


We paid for a $20 million roster. Yet yall want to excuse the guy who got the credit for assembling it.

Yall? Excuse who? Just said oline sucked and thats on Kelly and Davis. They didnt develop highly rated guys.

Also. Your aware the head coach and staff is who advises and guides the gm on who to target, offer, etc? So its Kelly if anyone. And he and thomas weren't retained, and haven't seen anyone cry about it. Nice turn of the page, and onto next yr

There was a lot of good, mostly on the defensive side of the ball.

Nearly all of the offensive ones either were awful (Sharp), unavailable (Anderson) or not going to get used well between Sloan playcalling and the OL looking lost.

It’s the reason you have to develop the talent on the team already and not just rely on the portal.
