CJ West is a DT prospect who POPS on film.Posted an 88.1 run defense grade in 2024 to go with his 25 pressures.

Sucks because I think both West & Collins showed some promise in their rookie seasons. The team was obviously counting on them taking a step forward in year two. Both were terrible in camp. Collins was injured for the year before playing one regular season game. West was getting bullied badly and is now on IR himself. Major disappointment.

Another lynch special. Consistency is a good thing except when you are bad at your job.

Saleh ain't the GM. We have had different coordinators yet one constant. Lynch. The buck stops with him.

im not saying hes done an amazing job but i mean people are ignoring the hits a lot i mean in last draft colby is a 7th round starter and is playing very well. Sigle has really looked great so far and so fat this seaosn has looked like a top 10 S and Stout is a star. We will also see how Mykell looks when he comes back but based on last year he was a double block eater and stout against the run which should free up Bosa

So now it's the training staff's fault that he has a bone chip? How do you prevent that with training?

I think most are saying how was this injury not brought up earlier so he could've taken care of it earlier in the season and be ready for these games.

Yes, like with DeShaun his ankle was hurt earlier on and they still cleared him to go back in.

Hope you are right. Mykell did flash. Dline is just so thin.

Did Lynch hit Collins in the knee with a hammer? I'm unsure of your point.

West has flashed and shown potential for a midround pick. Injuries happen, not sure why every event needs to be made into a cudgel to express one's whiny notions of the FO.

Guy is incessantly pissing and moaning in every thread about the same s**t. I have my critiques of the FO, but Christ people need to get a grip

Dont get shocked when you find out NFL players hide injuries because it affects playing time and compensation.

That's a fair point but it doesn't seem to have helped them if that's the case, you have to play through injuries in the NFL and I'm sure the pressure is immense to do so but now you're out for the season. NFL teams will push you out there if they think you can go so if they tell you that you should/need to have surgery you probably do

Saleh just said Shanny was going to draft Skattebo but the Giants picked him a few picks earlier so they settled for West

Saleh was given a definite voice in the draft. That was widely reported. His insight was one of the main reasons they brought him back.
