2025 Week 10 (vs TB) Reaction

 Vrabel Adds Value

Coach Vrabel is one of the best coaches in the league. His situational game management is excellent. Consider the first and goal play just before half. Downing it to burn time is actually brilliant. They say that wasn't the plan. I don't believe them. The culture (grit, determination, positive) is excellent. The roster management is awesome. Love me some Vrabel.

Explosive Rookies

Henderson and Williams arrived this week. I am interested to see whether Williams gets more usage. He has few targets, few catches, but this isn't even in the ballpark of a bust conversation as with Polk, Harry, etc. In the first place, Williams was a third-round pick. Second, waiting behind a group of high performers is not the same as waiting behind a group of non-performers. Williams looks, so far, like a good pick with a good future. Unlikely to ever become a top target star, but you don't need that from a third-round pick.

Henderson's explosive plays were always likely to be a function of quantity, so it makes sense that he broke out with Stevenson on the bench. Expect a handful of plays like these per year from him.

I wonder if the three big plays from these guys will influence defenses and open up other options from the offense.

Other Notes

Woodson's two PBUs against Otten were great. What an awesome value for a fourth-round pick. Love it. Maye gets his bell rung all the time. Not concussion protocol worthy, but I don't like it and I think it is worth watching.

2026 Roster Needs Look Ahead

QB--no urgent needs; we can't see practices and thus have no idea about the worth of tendering RFA Tommy DeVito RB--no urgent needs; Gibson will be back from injury and Henderson is catching on; probably sign a low-cost veteran as Gibson insurance and maybe use one of many 6th round picks at this position WR--unpopular opinion: no urgent needs here; Diggs has solidified the position and Hollins is delivering above expectations so why risk the vibes? I don't see any free agent signings here and only draft WR if a draft day fluke leaves a player on the board who shouldn't still be on the board TE--URGENT. Must re-sign Hooper or find another free agent to replace. Use draft capital here too: Joe Royer, Justin Joly are good mid-round options T--some need; maybe sign a low-cost vet, definitely use a mid- or late-round pick on LT to replace Lowe and RT as Moses insurance G/IOL--stealth high need; drafting a great LG means you can move Wilson to C and cut Bradbury DL--medium need;...
