They also supposedly liked the DE group on the team last year a lot. Same for WR the prior year. I’m sure they’ll draft someone as well so Pryor won’t be the only option, but to me it’s to important of a position to be wrong on.

McAfee is good, but sometimes he can get annoying as hell.

It was a good interview. Pat asks him straight up questions.

I'm not against Pryor getting a shot. When you let players pay that work hard it attracts other players and it also makes younger guys work for those starting spots.

Ballard know he let the team down by not adding enough talent.

IMO TY will be back and I hope he is. He can still be a good asset to this team. Not the #1 or #2. But he can still have a roll.

QB is signed and now it will be easier to attract talent.

They specifically talked about that, too. How it's hard to convince a guy to come when QB is in flux and that he understands. Obvious point, but I thought him bringing it up made it sound like he may have took a shot at a guy (or guys).

Not enough talent? They had a winning record with a knucklehead Qb.

yep, and l like seeing ballard let lose a bit. they have a good rapport and its fun to watch.

DE in particular cost this team games. WR became an issue again and LT was a big issue early while waiting for Fischer to get healthy enough. The knucklehead QB was definitely the biggest issue, but they’d have made the playoffs despite Wentz if Ballard had done more last offseason. Especially at DE.

That’s not to say they aren’t talented, just that there were obvious issues they could have done more to address.

Probably not enough to legit contend for the SB in the stacked AFC. Good chance to contend in our division, but I wouldn't bet on us over the Bills or Chefs right now and probably not the Bengals or Chargers. Browns, Ravens, Tits, and Pats are also pretty strong. AFC is really competitive right now.

I like Pryor too. He's a really good and versatile backup. Glad we re-signed him. But after trading for Ryan we are or at least should be in win now mode. LT is too important of a position to leave it in the hands of a swing backup or a rookie unless he's a sure fire top of the 1st round talent.

Ballard really needs to bring in a good veteran LT as well as at least 1 if not 2 WRs.

If Ballard's even admitting that he did a shitty job last year then you probably should too.
