I would not pay Byron. Didn't know Jarwin was a FA, that sucks. Man next season is definitely looking like a transition year. Changing half the roster and coaching staff is going to be tough. But I'm willing to take my bumps without Byron Jones unless the next staff feels they can get more out of him.The morning after a loss hits different
Now that im not driven by anger, here is what plagues this team:
Coaching: Do I need to go into more detail here?
Poor DT play: Last night was exhibit #1000 as to why we need better play from the 1-tech position, which leads to my next point
Jaylon and LVE are finesse players: These two are not physical enough. Blown out of plays constantly, not shedding-blocks etc.
DBs being taught not to play the ball: Chido never looking for the ball once, Woods having a pass thrown right to him, but hes looking to make a hit on the receiver instead etc
Connor Williams is a huge liability in the run game: Hes still too weak. Look at every play Zeke got blown up in the backfield. It was usually his man
Dak is NOT a good thrower in the red zone/end zone: I may sound like a hater here, but its true. I said it on CZ a few days ago. This is EXACTLY why they tried to run it twice down there. He isnt confident making those throws. Cant throw a fade or a back shoulder to save his life. Two trips inside the 10 and 3 points. That was your game there.
We have a ton of free-agents after this season:
Dak
Amari
Quinn
Bennett
Jones
A. woods
M. Collins
Snake Lee
Frazier
Cobb
AB
Jarwin
Fleming
Thompson
Heath
From this list, Id keep everybody except Dak
Jk
Dak, Coop, Byron, Bennett, Fleming, and Jarwin are the only ones Id look to keep.
We HAVE to pay Byron. Hopefully they can reach a deal with Dak and Amari so they can tag Byron. You CAN NOT, let Chido be your number 1. In fact, id deposit his ass on the bench and draft his replacement in the second round
I would love to know the real reason why we restructured Bennett's deal. Makes no sense considering the holes we're going to have up front.
