Not sure about that on the O line. Runyan is gone and C needs to be improved. Any rookie OL that shines in camp has a pretty good shot in my mind.
ThunderDan 05-08-2024, 07:22 AMBest case scenario is Morgan beats out Walker and Walker becomes your swing Tackle.
Joemailman 05-08-2024, 07:12 AMThat doesn't take into consideration his improvement through the season, but there's no guarantee he maintains that, to be fair.
smuggler 05-08-2024, 07:04 AMI read that Watson had a 12.9% drop rate in college. I don't think he's done anything in the pros to shake off his drop reputation yet.
It will be hard to break into the starting lineup as a rookie absent injury, and that's a good thing.

Patler 05-07-2024, 10:23 PMYa, they may have been thinking; "If you aren't getting better, you are getting worse." Something was off. He should have been the frontrunner
Patler 05-07-2024, 10:09 PMExactly. Clifton, Tauscher and Bulaga all began their rookie seasons as backups, but were pushed into starting tackle roles only a few games in. Bakhtiari
Patler 05-07-2024, 09:38 PMNo, not "fine" but not horrible. In 2022 he was 80th of 84 receivers targeted 48 or more times, but his drop rate was "only" about
Patler 05-07-2024, 09:20 PMNone of their other WRs has as big of an change in the offense between when they're available and not available.
I'm not saying he's a better
MLF was asked why he didn't go for it on 4th and 8. Said he just didn't have any plays he felt confident in on 4th and 8 against that defense. He hinted
Joemailman 05-07-2024, 08:32 PMI don't think you give him enough credit. Every college player has things they can improve on. Morgan reaches too early against speed rushers and he

bobblehead 05-07-2024, 08:19 PMIn hindsight I understand the Yosh hate. He didn't improve in the offseason. I'm not sure he ever took an offseason seriously. He was uber talented
bobblehead 05-07-2024, 08:14 PMHe wouldn't have made it...he would have made it to the 1 on 2nd down or on 3rd down. Either time, running it would have changed the entire dynamic and
bobblehead 05-07-2024, 08:03 PMHis hands are fine, people are just jaded because of that very first pass. This is also the reason I chose Watson in the thread about the one guy to

Joemailman 05-07-2024, 07:19 PMLooking at the numbers by others in comparison, it sure makes me hope that Watson has come to a fix for his hamstring issues. Then, if he can improve
Patler 05-07-2024, 03:52 PMThanks for the correction. As I was doing it something seemed wrong, so I "corrected" it, and still got it wrong!
It should

Sure it does, but it tempers it by how poorly he played at times earlier in the season. As you state, it is not yet known if he has established a new
