That short guy back there is the mysterious janitor who leaks our draft secrets to the press.

So that's why we didn't trade down from #8. A bunch of teams were calling us offering negative points!

Ron's peak was as a DC. That was the perfect job for him.

When older players storm into the owners office to b!tch and get their way that doesn't help.

I get a bit angry or annoyed when the media dumps on our team. Just as an example, if we do let's say 10-0 to start the season we're to hear "worst 10-0 team of all time" and crap like that.

The cut blocking became illegal on all running plays in 2016 due to the horrible injuries it caused over the years. Chuba Hubbard doesn't have the speed to go around the defense, so we'll need this system if we're going to use him much. I worry that CMC will miss some games this season, so to have a backup plan is important. We have one now. Last season, not so much.

Ah yes. https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2003/09/15/panthers-claim-dirty-play-by-bucs/

I didn't read the whole thread, but I'm guessing it was Al Wallace.

For those who are curious.

The old cut blocking technique worked wonders for making poop RBs look like superstars because it scared the defensive linemen into thinking they were about to lose their ACLs.

Putting us that low is clearly a vote of no confidence in Sam Darnold. SI must think Sam is a bag of poop to push us that low.

What if Julio went to the Bucs after the Bucs let AB go due to off the field issues?

Just get him out of the NFCS.

I think Tommy needs a little work but this is important for the coaches to see what we can can't do well early enough to make corrections.

Deonte reported in at mini-camp at 347 pounds. He was 364 pounds at the Senior Bowl, and that extra weight hurt his performance imo. Deonte may never be able to get down to 330 pounds, but maybe he can take off a few more and get to 340. We absolutely don't want Deonte playing a full NFL season anywhere near the 364 pounds he used to be. The 347 he is at now might be close to as low as he is ever going to be especially as he adds muscle in the NFL strength and conditioning program. Think what this monster will turn into with NFL level weight lifting.

Personally I'd rather have Darnold and Fields. That way if Darnold flops we have an immediate backup plan, and all it would have cost was passing on Horn. Sure Filed could be a bust as well, but I'd like to roll the dice on him. If Horn and Fields both pan out to be very good players, then Fields is way more valuable than Horn obviously. Fit and his scouting staff have seen something in Darnold that makes him clearly the better prospect over Fields. Rhule won't talk about Fields in a negative way to explain what makes Fields a less valuable prospect, but our scouts have seen something.

Rhule and Fitterer want to build on both sides of the ball and have the utmost confidence in Darnold. The thing is that Rhule and Fit have enough time to miss on a QB and still keep their jobs. If Darnold flops they won't be fired. They still have a safety net due to their long contracts and general timeline expectations. If Darnold flops, then I seriously doubt we take a long shot on another 78 passer rated QB. We won't do this again because Rhule and Fit will be running out of time to build a winner. It's Darnold wins or we start drafting 1st round QBs imo.

If we're going to win any game, then it's going to be the Jets game.

What will Rhule's meaningless coach speak catch phrase end up being?

Teddy was probably just making a comparison between the number of times the Vikings and Saints practiced redzone plays versus the number of times per week the Panthers practiced redzone plays. We must have done it less than them, but that's not a big deal. If Teddy wanted more redzone reps then he should have said something. Matt didn't outline why we dumped Cam, and now he won't give us the skinny on why we got rid of Skinny. Not surprising, but we can guess the reasons why.

1-3 unless Darnold is really good.

Leg man.

Short is no longer athletic enough to rush the passer. Injuries and his butt having it's own zip code make the return of KK unlikely. Even so vet min would not be the end of the world. I love depth.

Tag Moton then let him go. His body is not going to hold up long term imo. Get out while he's healthy and let him break down during some other team's mega deal.
