The 2023 Offseason Thread

Key words, before the injury. He looked slow when he came back last year.

You could make a highlight film of him being run down in the open field. His lateral movement was still lacking as well. Still really crazy he was able to perform that well at 70% or whatever he was
 
2020 he was first in YPC for RBs.
2022 he was second in YPC

His biggest issue for better or worse was his usage.
His usage because he could not stay healthy. He got so little usage that he did not have enough carries to qualify for most metrics of that stat and its not even the stat people use to judge RBs anymore (as its heavily affected by how good your OLine is).

Edit: Cook, CMac, Pollard, Henry, Ekeler, Taylor, Chubb, Barkley, Jacobs, A Jones, and even young players like Breece Hall and Walker just to name a few names are all considered better players for 2023 by most of the NFL.
 
Tarik actually good? Or are we in big trouble with Stephens? He was getting posterize by Agholor too.
Tarik has been having a good camp so far per reports. If he can continue to stack days then maybe he can put his name in consideration. But we've seen this story far too many times before for me to buy into more than him coming out strong to this point.
 
Through today, looks like the OL groups have been as follows...

Stanley - Sala - Linderbaum - Zeitler - Moses
Mekari - Simpson - Mustipher - Cleveland - Faalele
Sharpe - Thomas - Guidone - Manning - Doss

Leads you to believe it's Sala vs. Simpson for LG right now, but guess there's still time for Cleveland to reenter the conversation.

could we actually end up with a rookie guard that plays 4 years.
 
I can believe that. I just don't find it anywhere out if the question that Bateman is either right there with him or a little ahead
Its very concerning that Bateman is not ready yet. I think his injury was worse than expected ,sadly.

I like Bateman a lot. I just dont think he will be ready until Novemeber,December. Gut feeling.

But also notable that despite struggling on Saturday, Sala’s still had 2 practices since with all the 1s reps including the first padded practice
