I cannot come up with a good catch phrase for the title.
So after the Super Bowl is done we can start to talk about the team for the 2023 season.
As expected, Demeco Ryan was hired away. I am very happy with Wilks as the new DC (would have also liked Fangio too).
Lance and Purdy are expected to be ready for training camp and they should compete for the starting job. I love Purdy and what he did, but I believe Shanahan will have them compete.
On the one hand, I think Lance's style better fits his overall offense, on the other Purdy has proven himself in the line of fireand is yet to lose a game (the record says otherwise but I will not count the Eagles NFCCG against him). And additionally, the team is very comfortable with Purdy. How Shanahan handles this will be really important.
They are about to lose a couple of players, the main ones are McGlinchey in the OL and Jimi Ward in the backfield. Plus they only have like 10MM in cap space before they start restructuring.
They need to reinforce the OL, bug time.
Also, an EDGE rusher to go on the other side of Bosa.
I would resign Gould as well. Having a good/stable kicker is a bonus.
Those are my thoughts for now.
