Next Up: vs Rams

We could be in for a roster crunch again. We're at 53 presently and would need to make room for Oliver when he's activated. Even beyond that, we have some light positions where we're likely to need some reinforcements.

Right now we only have 6 healthy OL. We'd need to add 2 provided Phillips and Powers don't practice and play this week.

Right now we only have 4 healthy CB. We'd likely need to add 1 but could risk it here, although I wouldn't advise based on how our season has gone here.

Still have Tony Jefferson who played really well and you might want to get him more action.

here's part 1 of your roster crunch:


im honestly surprised it took this long given the nature of his injury when it happened

EDIT: jeff corrected in his next tweet - tyre cant return even if we make the playoffs because you cant come back to from i/r twice in the same year
 
Three years ago today, we won the AFC North by beating the Browns. The Steelers had beat the Bengals and needed us to lose to win the division. Mosley intercepted Baker to seal the win breaking the hearts of Steelers fans still in the stadium waiting to see if we lost.

Yet somehow by us beating the Rams, followed by the Steelers it could come full circle. We would be rooting for the Browns to win over the Bengals in order to clinch the division next week if we were to win out. This division is wild.
 
Where are we on team interceptions? Gotta be close or at the bottom of the league.

...

Turnovers (including fumbles too):

32nd: Jaguars - 7

The secondary and turnovers needs to improve drastically next season
 
I saw a graphic that showed the entire league, I’ll have to dig it up

If our dropped INTs and almost sacks turned into actual INTs and sacks......................whew boy.
 
The secondary and turnovers needs to improve drastically next season

some of it is luck
some of it is poor hands dropping easy picks

but more of it is about opportunism and play-making and we lack playmakers in the passing game on defence - no one's getting their hands on the ball especially in the middle of the defence and some of that will be scheme but also it doesnt help that our biggest playmaker MP missed the whole season, and our second biggest playmaker marlon wasnt creating turnovers like the year before (and is now injured)

but definitely something to be said for us needing more playmakers especially in the middle of the field - we've never replaced CJ Mosley and Eric Weddle's playmaking on defence and Leslie Frazier was also super impactful as the secondary coach in the 1 year he was here (and put a focus on INTs)

Feels like this is making room for Sharpe who is out of free elevations and would need to be added to the 53 anyways.

A real shame Tyre can't stay healthy. Time is running out for him. Sucks he hasn't had consistent run at one position but he needs to stay on the field regardless.
 
Doesn’t matter who is playing QB, short of some sort of divine intervention our D will get smoked again this week.
