Our defense seems to run in slow motion and too many arm tackles.

Vince: "Everybody's grabbin' out there. Grab. Grab. Grab. Nobody's tackling."

We would be like #5 or #6 in the draft order if we had draft picks.

I don't know.....they are down to the B and C-team at many positions. Yates would be a C-teamer. I'd say pretty much most of the leaders and rally guys are on IR.

The one thing (only thing?) the team can come away with in the next three games is some of the younger replacement guys getting some playing time/experience. In some cases, it is a situation where we can see a young, upside player learn his craft while the high-paid incumbent (and not necessarily better player) has to watch from the sideline. Then again, some of the B & C-teamers aren't ever going to be quality starting material.

No picks in the first two rounds in the upcoming draft just really sucks.... If they can find two or more quality starters in FA along with the others returning from IR (in 2018), it might not be the hopeless situation it seems at this point.... but this year is toast.

I think it's clear we are tanking for the 65th pick.
