Our team is built to succeed on the assumption the O-line will dominate. They haven’t come close, and Bryce, the WRs and the Defense has suffered as a result. O-line and run game have to dominate or we lose. 

This 100%. Don’t think we talk enough about the weakness of the o-line

I’ve always seen his handle as Ice Age. Anyone else?

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. 

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

I think the last WR spot is going to come down to who can play special teams. 

Moore is a very good special teams guy, FWIW.

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

I think Coker is basically a lock.  You have to separate out each WR position.   If XL or TMac can’t go…..who are inserting into their roles? 

it’s not Renfrow, AT, or Horn.   I mean you can but they all would suck.  And that’s assuming TMac will be ready and good enough for every down work to kick off the year

I think you carry 6.  Make Moore the odd man out.  

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.

I think the 7 straight losing seasons, the campaign to reduce fan interest during training camp and the lightspeed stupid decision to start charging for Fan Fest took a toll.

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.

During the UDFA phase an under the radar signing was Abe Camara. I've heard we are trying him @ safety ...

I need this guy to make the 53. Sneaky good signing. 

I like the hits, but I gotta say, I get pretty nervous when a cornerback’s highlight reel doesn’t show him actually covering receiver. 

This is getting to the point in the draft where teams start picking players that may not make the team. But it’s also I place where you can still find real talent. I hope we don’t get cute and instead go True BPA. Would be great if that were a position of need like ilb or S (I like stutsman at ilb) but I’m fine with OL, DT, RB, TE, WR, CB so long as it’s good value for where we pick. 

Thanks for sharing. But pretty cringe. Love the last scourton video though

What's up with Will Johnson falling?Injury concerns?

what does this mean for Graham falling? I figured jags would pick him at their original spot. does this just mean, browns will take him when they pick?

I hate that we are broadcasting this. This is like that snotty kid you knew in 3rd grade being like “My lunch is gross…wanna trade?” 
 

No Aiden. No one wants to trade their pizza for your nasty wheat germ and nutritional yeast flake sandwich. especially not after you told us how it gives you hives and smells like balls. 
 

we should be telling people how excited we are to have such a good pick. We are in the perfect position to pick any number of amazing players. I don’t want to hear anything from Morgan unless it is how valuable the 8th pick is. 
 

I’d give this post two pies if I could. Really solid write up. I also really like the pick. Golden is my top wr in the draft and honestly is better at wr than most edge players are at edge. I like grant too. This is pretty much the draft I want

I would prioritize protecting Bryce and giving him stability. I’m in favor of drafting a tackle early but doubt a rookie will be much better this year than Moton and I don’t think the picks we’d get in return would be worth it. I say keep moton and keep an eye on BPA. If we see really good value at ot in rounds 2 or 3, grab them, but I wouldn’t trade Moton.

25 picks, to cut 15 of them. 

Peak offseason content, just needed some uniform talk. 

Honestly, if 10 rookies made the team, that’s a damn good draft.
