General Manager Notes: Speaking of updating...
What about those player profiles?
True. Let's do that quickly.
The quarterbacks
Sheldon declined a bit, Ashley held ground. This kid will play a lot this season and Sheldon will tell him what to do. We're going to commit to this kid, it seems unlikely that I'll change my mind in favor of the sack magnet that Sheldon has become.

The tight ends
Very little has changed here. Both have been slightly gone up and done here or there, but nothing noteworthy. Factoring them into the passing game, I've said it quite a bit now, that'll be a challenge, but probably worth our while. At least I've upped our multiple TE formation in our play book last training camp.
Code:
2090 1.17 TE Gaynor vs. 2091 5.23 TE Gore

The main wide receivers
The guys that have to make the big catches, providing the tight ends won't do it already. Theo returns and although losing a bit more of his route running and endurance, he's still an above average WR2. Schulz should continue to improve into the top 10 WR we hope he is. And Stuckey would be a WR2 on most other teams, aside maybe a handful that also have good looking threesome like we do.
Code:
Legendary Theo Bondy vs 5th yr George Stuckey vs the future Ed Schulz

So, yeah, I hope we have a passing game this upcoming season. Ashley over Sheldon will hurt our cohesion, as will the move from Hadinger to a rookie at LT (Delgado or Houston), but I think we'll manage. Ashley being a rookie might steer us into starting just one rookie LT and not both guys, but that's something to save for opening day. Just like the decision on who to give the ball to. We have three RB2 guys and Thong' and Patter have been both hot and cold over the years. Beyer is in his 4th season on team, that can't hurt, can it?
