Team looks much better on paper across the board from last year. I think there's a lot of roster nitpicking going on, which is completely fair, but preemptive. The sky is not falling.

We are doing better than last year. Pokey and White are a huge improvement over Wheatfall and a broken Schoen. Week 5 (I think) it was Wheatfall and Cody Case, Sterns...the big thing for this year is that Demski can be our #3 receiver. But your point still stands, though a bit preemptive: we need to find new game breaking receivers. Looks like Frederickson and Singer are making plays in camp. But in general, it's been shown time and time again that us fans miss who is really looking good. I wouldn't be surprised if we pick up another teams cuts, maybe at receiver or depth o line as an insurance policy.

I've boarded the hype train

You mean Juran Bolden 2.0

Denmark was so smooth in his route running. Just got open.

Any receivers jumping off the page at camp at all?

Demski, Nield, Corcoran, Clercius, Cobb...and then MCI and Daniels if we stop going 5 WR for the rest of the game. I think there's depth there to run 3 Canadians from that group. But the question is the talent. Demski is the only difference maker from that group...and he's getting older...the rest are hopefuls and role guys. So I'm definitely concerned as well RE: putting out enough weapons for Zach. Unless those Canadians take big steps we are really leaning on Brady and our two top-end receivers in White and Wilson.

He did absolutely nothing because he was injured/done...not because of the system. Stats-wise last year was Nield's best year by far with ~500 yards. He's 27. He could continue his upward trajectory. Would be amazing if he put up 600-700 yards this year.

Just curious from those who pay attention. Between Tim White, Pokey Wilson, Demski we have 1, 2 and 3. Is Tommy Nield a 3a/3b to Demski at this point? Or is he clearly a 4/5 type of guy?

Yeah I get that. Also true. Maybe it's that **** out get off the pot moment that I'm seeing where a guy that is supposed to take that next step doesn't. You put him in the 1s in practice and say "this is your opportunity" and if they can't do it then they bring in the next guy. Feel like it was that way with Myron Mitchell last year. So not exactly established veterans, more guys that have been around a bit and need to prove themselves to be a full time starter.

RE: Alijah Mcghee. Is it just me or have we done this many times before. Legit not judging or anything. But I seem to recall that we often bring a guy into the 1s, test him out there, and then cut him the next day.

An inch or two taller and 15 pounds lighter. Not saying he won't be effective, and I'm sure he can add more weight to his frame if he wants. Just doesn't seem like the type that is going to jam up the line of scrimmage at 235.

Interesting. I didn't realize Nuer is a bit of a smaller DL. Likely wouldn't see him inside the line anytime soon. But might be a guy that can drop back into LB coverage like Willie J?

I think it is pretty common that if you are a defensive lineman on the roster that you are taking reps. Those guys are constantly getting after it and need to rotate. Not sure about LBs in Younger's system. They need to a bit more sound in their responsibilities.

I think the problem is that our Canadian depth at OL is not great. I don't even know what our PR will look like in that regard. Very likely we sign a cut from another team after TC. So while we potentially could start 3 Canadians, we are likely going to be relying on our Americans this year.
