Well for one we don't know about this year at all yet.
As to last year
Ahh who here is anything but avg to below avg
Eskridge who had a whole 4 rush attempts, 10 pass, and played in only 10 games
Brown he of the whopping 10 tackles in 5 games
Forsythe played in only 10 games, only 14 snaps.
None of the one's last year as of now have done squat
This is typical of those claiming that the reality of who we are is an untalented team with years to go before we can be good again, because we lost the guy who was polishing the turd of a team that we actually were. And that talk of us actually being 'OK' is blind optimism.
Forsythe was never expected to start. he was expected to be a good backup if needed while he developed, and this year, is fighting for time at RT.
Eskridge - if you want to ignore the reality of who he was in college and the obvious talent he has, because he got injured and missed the season, cool. But to me, that's negating the obvious, in favor of a circumstance that couldnt have been predicted. Eskridge showed nothing to make anyone question that he wont be as good as advertised. When he touched the ball in th elone game he played, he certainly looked the part of the electric player he was brought in to be.
The same nonsense was leveled at Daryl Taylor - wasted pick, reach. How has that turned out?
And Tre Brown... really? Here
Nice video highlighting just how gifted this guy is and how important he'll be to the group moving forward. He's special. How special? It's a small sample size limited by his injury, but to say he was good is an understatement. Tre Brown at LC, Bryant at RC, Woolen / Coleman at Nickel / plus...

In his limited opportunities as a cold ROOKIE, he was the 7th ranked corner IN THE LEAGUE.
1st in man coverage
33rd in zone
7th overall
So, John, he actually showed a little bit more than 'squat'. He was one of the best in the league. But that doesnt jibe with your narrative that the entire team sucked, Russ had to save it, and now that hes gone, we're just going to be what we only would have ever been with Pete as coach - a .500 or worse team. Your logic is clear and i have to admit, i admire its consistency. The sun rises and sets everyday, and Russel Wilson was the only thing that ever REALLY made us great.
