Yes. Most definitely. Literally imagine that squirrel thing when he posts.

Also, it’s times like these I wish we had a heart emoji or something up in this place.

Thanks for letting us know. Thoughts are with you man. Hope you get what you need to recover and heal.

Hey y’all! As the off-season winds down. I want to say a huge thank you to @Icege for all the updates, news, and some nice write ups. A lot of us old timers have noted that the huddle ain’t what it used to be this time of year. And Icege has been an oasis in this desert of info this off-season. Hope y’all join me in saying “thank you!” For keeping us engaged and doing a fan’s part to keep other fans connected to the teams they love THANKS ICEGE!!

Surprised but pleased to see so many LB ‘s on the (nice) list and that their grades are actually high.

The defense of Gruden is wild to me. I don’t know anything about racist stuff. I heard the reason he resigned was when it came out he said misogynistic and homophonic things. Sounds like a bit of a jerk and in my opinion his analysis was never that good anyways. Not like I was clamoring to hear what this guy had to say. Also, part of what came out was he said players who protested during games should be fired, including Carolina Panther Eric Reid. So this guy was about as pro cancel culture as you get. None of this is huge. I’m not saying he is the worst person. but seems weird that people on a Panthers message board are defending a mediocre media personality who is pro cancel culture, coached a decision rival, and tried to get one of our players cancelled. Then on top of it said some ignorant stuff about gay people.

DJ Johnson seems a little overrated to be honest. Even at 71

This is what I keep going back and forth on. If it’s pure merit, there is no way Coker isn’t on the team, but Horn and Moore offer more on special teams

This is a good point I think. What concerned me about Coker is that he was a little redundant whereas some of lesser receivers may carve out a spot for themselves on special teams. I think you are right though, if Tet or Legette go down he is next man up.

So, it has come up that this board is t as active as it used to be and that media coverage isn’t what it used to be. I for one have been disappointed by coverage of training camp. (And before some jag off tells me to get on TikTok, let me tell you: I am on TikTok and the fact that you think that constitutes coverage shows you how impoverished we are when it comes to training camp coverage) Anywho, thought I’d try to generate some questions I have been interested in. No ground breaking insights from me but curious to hear what others think. WINNERS Hunter Renfrow- sounds like he was expected to be on the bubble and looks like he has defied expectations to be at the top of the group. Almost certain he makes the team. Might be the number three receiver. Jimmy Horn- drafted late and seemed like he was the type of player we would sign to PS. Now it seems like he is on the inside with reliably solid play, likely contributor on special teams, and as-advertised speed. Turk Wharton: everything I hear about him is that he has exceeded expectations. Sounds like with Brown and Robinson being held out, he has run with the ones and performed well. I was particularly glad to hear he did well in run support as I thought he was brought in more as a pass rusher. Bryce Young- looks like he is going to continue his trajectory of modest improvement. The real reason he makes the list is that it seems we have gotten a pretty significant upgrade at the wr and rb positions with the above players looking promising he looks to have a decent jump in production. LOSERS ryan Fitzgerald - seems like the job was wide open and he has not taken advantage of the opportunity. jalen Coker - with Jimmy horn snd Renfrow standing out, I think his role may be in jeopardy. I thought he would for sure be a big part of the offense after last year but as I pick our top six wr, he is looking like he is on the bubble more than I thought he’d be. Suddenly I think the wr is a bit crowded. Nic scourton- being purposely harsh a bit but I think our EDGE situation is a bit crowded with wonnum, jones, and prince. I think they lean towards the vets to start and I’ve heard highlights from Prince. Again, way to early, I was just hoping to hear more about him standing out and I’ve heard nothing. It’s also a little crowded. Fans- Training Camp just isn’t what it used to be. Less reporting, less access, less enthusiasm.all evidenced by me starting this topic instead of someone who knows what they are talking about. WANT TO HEAR MORE FROM honestly scourton and Coker should really be here for me. Want to generally hear more about our young guys. These two in particular Pat Jones- one of our bigger signings. Has promise but heard nothing. Really interested in how edge plays out as we’ve invested a lot there and have, in my view four potential starters for two spots. Wondering how the snaps get shared. Ransom-was high on him when we drafted him. Safety is a big need so I’m excited to see how it shakes out. what do you think? Who has helped themselves? Hurt themselves? You’d like to hear more about? Sorry you are hearing from me and not someone better, but it’s been quiet so thought I’d float this out to see what others thought

I only knew part of this. Good lord that’s dumb

Thanks for posting! I was wondering why there wasn’t a thread! Anyone from the huddle go? Have any observations? I live out of state and so always appreciate getting to read highlights from training camp. It is the Hopeful time of year.

Lester Townes was the first I thought of but he is lb.

Really dig this. As an educator, I always love hearing grown-@$$ adults talking about and thinking about how they learn and what strategies they develop to serve their learning styles. Good stuff.

I'm more interested in completion percentage and YPA (and wins of course), than yards or touchdowns. It's not too hard to imagine Young throwing for 3,900 yards in an abstract way. What is harder to imagine is who those yards are going to. That would probably require two 1000 pass catchers on our team. I don't know that we have two 1000 receivers on this team.
