The 2023 Offseason Thread

[Adreme]

Even with Burrow potentially being out until week 5?

Their schedule in order: Browns, Ravens, Rams, Titans, Cardinals, Seahawks, and then Bye Week. The Cardinals are already tanking; the Rams and Titans will be awful.

That leaves the Ravens who they shoes to without Burrow, the Seahawks who are a complete unknown and the Browns who could be good if their QB remembers how to play football, but when that is a question mark you are not good.

Dak also threw like 90 ints during a practice. Chase could not catch a ball to save his life in practice.

I remember the jamarr chase bust hype when he kept dropping passes. Folks actually thought chase was gonna just forget how to catch a football after a week in camp

Trust me I'm excited for Zay. But the amount of hype he's getting for beating CBs in one on ones is ridiculous. And it's so fucking stupid. One on ones are not representative of anything. Remember when fucking Bailey Gaither torched Hamilton in a one on one? That guy is not in the league and Hamilton was PFFs number 1 safetyast year. This hype is realistically just setting everyone up for disappointment.

I think Zay probably has like 650 receiving yards this year. Not the 1000+ hype nonsense you keep seeing.

Dak is the wrong person to use lol. He throws ints in regular season also. Like straight to the defenders. I legit dnt even care that lamar threw 4ints in one practice but im not gonna act like its suppose to happen simply cause its 3rd and 10.

Yea i can see 650 but thats actually good in our offense. I dnt really care about the yards though, i just wanna see if he gets open like i think he will.

Well, four. And you throw four when you're a) not playing for field position, and b) neither you nor I know the field position.

If he throws 4 INTs on 3rd and 15 from mid-field, what's the difference between that and punting? 10-15 yards?

Context matters people.

Jamison Hensley loved tweeting he’s never seen 9 INTs before. They love this

Will depend on the volume and how much of an increase we see in passing game this year.
Realistically, I think there's a strong possibility that Flowers is the #2 WR in this offense (ahead of Bateman) and probably #3 overall in terms of target share (behind Odell and Andrews). I can even see Odell and Flowers being pretty comparable in terms of targets, yardage, etc.

I think Bateman is going to be much further behind than people think. I don't expect to see him out there for week 1, and I'm not sure you'll see him until at least October either. And at that point, I highly doubt he just waltzes off the practice field and overtakes guys who have been in camp, working, etc. all year long.

Whether that translates into a defined set of yardage or not will depend on passing volume, which is the biggest ? I have.

They should. Its early August. They need something to post about, because most practice sessions are relatively uneventful in the broad scheme of things. A good practice session for all sides typically involves the media having nothing to talk about, because it means nobody got injured. Injuries are pretty much the biggest newsworthy story out of any camp.

The alternative is what we normally see... "X fringe roster player is having a great camp, and he's dominating individual 1v1s against other fringe roster players".

You’re wrong, he’s the next AB, Steve smith, T Hill, Waddle.

I’m calling it.

For real tho, one thing different about this hype than all other hype we’ve had is this is about his route running

Show me your TDs baby! lol

Bateman is a damn good route runner as well. Only thing holding him back are his injuries.

Zay will be God Like this year. It's happening!

 

[ravenslord]

Since our divisional opponents are font loaded this year, I'm really concerned the new offense will have a slow start and put us in a bad position
in the division.

Lets hope Monken gets this shit right by the start of the season.

Project Pat living up to the moniker. Also probably says FB ain’t gonna be used much here

Yeah... Pat was one of the last remaining Fullbacks left in the league. Wouldn't be surprised if this is his last year with us.

 

[UPennChem]

He might not make the team

 

[Corvus Purpura]

D line, fullback, O line and, of course, number 1 option on 3rd and long. Quite a career.

 

[Simba]

I’d think he’s still good this year but it’s probably his last here. Still value in what he does even if it’s a little more dispersed this year.

 

[Davesta]

If we try to convert him to OG this late into it.. better at least save a PS spot for him. Or that’s dirty lol
