I don't think we're saving him for later, I think he's hurt now and they felt they couldn't play him... they wanted to play him probably more than we did.

I also am pretty sure this team has something against Aaron Jones. They are entirely too conservative with some of these injuries. Won’t need to save him for later if we keep losing to teams like this.

I'm pretty sure there's a reason Aaron Jones doesn't get 20-25 touches a game. He's not physically able to handle that workload. Hell, he's not even able to handle the small workload. He's always dinged up. Yet, WE fans will cry GIVE AARON JONES MORE TOUCHES. Maybe it's time to accept Aaron Jones isn't a workhorse and is more of a show pony that you trot out once in awhile.

Not getting the INTs that were clearly there have cost us at least two games. Falcons we dropped like 4, and Raiders we dropped just one, but another was perfectly set up if the DB played it correctly, and both the Raiders one came on the same drive that ended up as a Raiders TD.

If this team simply caught all the INTs that hit their hands, then fans would be praising the Barry. He's giving his DBs opportunities.

No, not blaming the defense, but lots of people want to blame Barry for the defense not being EVEN better. I'm just noting that the defense would be EVEN better if the players weren't dropping so many INTs that hit their hands.

Barry needs at least another dominant DT to make this scheme work to full effect, but he's correctly giving the DBs more help and more opportunities on the backend.

But this defense will continue to go up and down based on opponents OLs without more DL talent improvement (I was hoping, thinking Wyatt would break out, but hasn't seemed to happen as much as I was hoping).



I felt like the defense in 2021 really shut the door on a number of opponents. In 2022, I feel like their was in fighting between Joe Barry and Jerry Gray and the players, especially the DBs took Gray's side and they were not on the same.page, at least not as much as they should of been and that cost the team early.


But on offense, it's simply the scheme needs a lot of talented blocking and so Gute has used a lot of draft resources on OL and TEs and for whatever reason, they have not ended in successful selection.

To keep the list short, all of Gute's 3rd round selections... Myers and Newman. Also it doesn't help that Bakhtiari and Jenkins aren't playing up to their salary.
