It seems Maccagnan finally got it right in his last draft 🤦🏽‍♂️

Other than the 3rd round pick who was so bad we had to cut him?

Usually that happened with the 2nd round pick 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's the dudes first practice. Let's reel it in a little

Making it to practice in year 2 is a tremendous accomplishment for one of our non top-6 draft picks.
So it turns out, Italian Seafood was right an everyone can go freak themselves.

i would play him the rest of the season. he has some physical tools; see if he can prove his ability to stay healthy and see what he can give us. this kid was better than hairston for sure, and we should just cut our ties with johnson

one of the annoying things about last year was not giving derrick jones more time on the field. he probably would have amounted to nothing anyways but one of the things to strive for in an otherwise lost season is to see what the young players on your roster can do

When you refuse to fire a hot-seat coach in-season he manages the games as best he can to save his job. He doesn't worry about the future he might not be around for.
Teams that draft well do so no matter where they pick. Teams that draft poorly do so no matter where they pick I want my team to win games and draft well

If he's any good he'll get time. He'll probably get time now even if he isn't.

this was very much a part of what happened last year (and what may happen this year as well) but there was definitely a time last year where bowles was a lame duck coach that we all knew wouldn't be here next year, and he should have gotten messages from the top of the organization about prioritizing starting/playing young players to see what they got. even if it was 3-4 games, it's something. we saw jones play in like the last game of the season, that's all. i hope similar things don't happen this season. there is literally no point in playing johnson

Why would Bowles follow that directive even if it was given to him (or Gase, if the situation comes up)? It's not in the lame duck coach's best interest to "see what the team has"; it's in his best interest to manage the games as well as he can to put on his resume.

That said, more and more I feel like Gase will not be a lame duck, no matter what happens the rest of the way.

Austin looks like he actually belongs. Some seriously impressive play from him today..or maybe my bar has been set really low after watching the crap they have trotted out on the field at CB.

Just for context this was against the possibility worst offense in the league. Longest streak without a td in 20 years

He looks like he tries against the run. Revis was the last CB we drafted that I could say that about.

DC is a weak offensive team, I'll wait to see his performance against better players before I start developing an opinion on his coverage. I definitely want to see more of him on the field, though.
