Ooof. Melton Will Johnson and Mack Wilson all out
Melton being out doesn’t mean much imo. I still like him, but I’m not convinced he’s better than Burke.

I expect Will to miss some games every year. Just annoyed he’s missing both Seattle games.

The biggest worry is a rookie with the green dot. Sheesh.

Will Johnson very good. Max Melton very not good.

Max has been way worse than SMB/Sterling Thomas but people refuse to hear it because of the draft capital.

It's not that people don't want to hear it, it's that it isn't true. Outside of missed tackles, Melton's comp% allowed or QB rating allowed are both either better or similar to those of SMB and STV.

You can make an argument that Melton is the same level player as SMB and STV and I don't believe anyone would argue with you because that is more accurate.

Cluster injuries to any position group are tough. I thought Melton was faster than Burke but I could be wrong. Step up opportunity for Simon in a tough environment. I think Will is the biggest loss and then Wilson.

Johnson and GWill together gives the defense some nice coverage options.

Melton is faster than Burke, but Burke is a better matchup against technicians than speedsters where it’s opposite for Melton.

Mack is our signal caller while still having a good year. Rookie getting the green dot in a tough Seattle environment is a daunting challenge. I bet no one is happier than Nolen playing than Cody Simon is.

Losing Melton's speed vs Shaheed and Horton could be tough. Ultimately it will come down to stopping the run and pressuring Darnold. I am sure GWill mirrors JSN.

Horton doesn’t look like he’s going to play. One less worry even though Shaheed will be a tough task. Kei’Trel also played great in the last Seattle matchup if that means anything.

I think their interior, especially the RG can be had. Could see another big Nolen & Calais game this week.

Ernest Jones being out for Seattle is big. If the OLine can hold it down just enough(doubtful), Jacoby will be able to make some plays.

Yeah just saw that. huge blow. I no longer expect to win that's 3 starters out on D

Burke played pretty well last game but we're down 2 CB's now.

Not sure who replaces Mack, maybe Cody Simon?
