I’m guessing you’re alluding to the 2nd round pick they gave up for Williams this year. I saw that as move to be made when they believed they were competitors this year based on their progress at that time. The 2nd rounder was the price to have NYG eat that $10 million. They are still in a position to compete this year; I’d rather them get in the playoffs and see what happens. That’s not to be confused with being content with mediocrity. You build a winning culture with a young roster by competing.
To the topic, yeah, wish they weren’t so banged up, but every team tends to be nicked up at this point in the season. Not sweating Jamal or Eskeridge being out for the reasons Riverdog mentioned. Hoping they get more healthy by next Sunday and just maybe the playoffs.

In filling that need, as with any product or service, you can get it good, quick, or cheap and you can only pick two (i.e. he was expensive because they needed a good player now). Williams has held up his end; the rest of the defense hasn’t.
Hitting on the likes of players that they did in the LoB years is something not accomplished often by many teams; we were fortunate to see something like that once. I’m not saying the roster is complete, but it is a significant departure from their past drafts. That’s readily apparent to me. They still have to follow through; that remains to be seen, but I have more hope they are headed that way than they have been.
More concerning to me, as stated by others here, is the poor tackling across the board. It won’t matter what players they get if that doesn’t get fixed. They were technically in that game, but it felt like a loss was coming knowing Rudolph would hardly be forced to make plays because Harris and Warren were running them over.
This kind for continued performance makes me think they will forego an early round QB and roll with Geno to shore up obvious holes at LB, S, and DL. Not particularly happy about that.
