Ravens player got away with a hold on Dyami Brown.

I think Young will be fine but it baffles my mind that we took a QB (Corral) who was told to hit his first read or hand the ball off if it’s not there over a guy (Howell) who could go through his reads really well when he had time.

I banged that drum so much during his time at Carolina. UNC had the worst OL in college football during Howell’s last season at Carolina. But his freshmen year he showed that he can spin it when he has time.

Good God we missed on Sam Howell. Actually drafted him in my dynasty league and if he plays like this I’m going to be in good shape.

Alright that makes no fugging sense. Lol, he was a -23 in like 50 games last year… hard pass.

One thing you won’t hear is that vibrio is going to become much worse than it already is with all of these hurricanes around the corner. Those who live specifically near the gulf have known about vibrio for quite a while but now a lot of the U.S. is going to start to become more familiar with the disease. When these hurricanes come in and bring a high concentration of warm water with them, they leave behind a breeding ground for vibrio in the form of stagnant flood waters. Personally, I won’t get in the ocean with any cuts on my body and I won’t touch any raw seafood from any state south of Maryland right now.

Reich isn’t wrong, both Raequan Williams and Nick Thurman have looked better than McCall. Hell, I can even point to specific plays that LaBryan Ray and Taylor Stallworth have made. I can’t do the same for McCall. Fans should be excited about this because it shows that there is a new mantra. It’s not about what you have done, it’s about what you are doing.

If that’s the case then my nine would be. Ekwonu, Christensen, Bozeman, Zavala, Moton, Mays, Erving, Jensen, and McCray. McCray gets cut when Corbett is activated. OR if Corbett is activated right away because they think he’ll be back before week four then McCray gets cut outright.

Solid article by Person and I feel like he’s spot on in regards to the guys who are guaranteed spots. Meanwhile David Newton is somewhere trying to formulate competent sentences for his hit piece on Ickey. Does anyone know if any of the OL beside Bozeman and Tecklenburg can play center? If not, then I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see Tecklenburg make the team over someone like McCray even if he doesn’t necessarily deserve it. It’s a must to have two guys who can play center active on game day just in case the starter goes down. I also wouldn’t be shocked to see Ricci cut, Reich’s offense doesn’t look like it will feature him at all. I could see a ST’s guy like STOIII, Brandon Smith, or Rejzohn Wright taking that spot simply because they can help out on special teams. And finally, will Shi Smith do enough to make us carry six wideouts and does the new coaching staff see potential with him? Or do we keep a guy like Kobe Jones or Raequan Williams because we think they’ll get picked up off the practice squad. It comes down to if the coaching staff thinks that there’s some untapped potential with Shi Smith.

I assume the Tuohy’s donated a lot of money during Freeze’s time at Ole Miss.

Living in Florida, I’ve learned to just accept that this is part of the package. Luckily I’m central so I don’t have to worry too much but man I’d hate to see Fort Myers get hit again, they are just getting back on their feet.

Hugh Freeze has weighed in, looks like he’s Team Tuohy.

I’d also take him but I don’t see him getting cut, I think they cut Knight.

Didn’t know all of that about Spears and now I feel bad for the kid cause I’m not exactly sure he went to the right team. He’ll still be logging miles on those legs during practice but he won’t get a heavy workload with Derrick Henry being in front of him. Personally, if I was him, I’d have wanted to go to a team where I can be the lead guy for maybe two or three seasons before my knee gives out. On the other hand, maybe the Titans feel like they can prolong Spears’ career a bit by just using him as a change of pace back. I will say he’s looked very impressive in preseason.

He had a great game this weekend. 12 carries - 95 yards / 4 receptions - 32 yards - 1 TD He might have some trade value for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins are going to be cutting a solid RB - their RB room is Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson Jr., De’Von Achane, Myles Gaskin, and Slavon Ahmed. Same with the Jets (assuming Breece Hall is ready to go week 1) - their RB room is Dalvin Cook, Breece Hall, Michael Carter, Israel Abanikanda, and Zonovan Knight.

I worked at a university call center when I was in my early 20’s and was called into the office because of my dress code and was told this exact phrase. My ass showed up looking like Bill Belichick the next day, obviously I didn’t last long at that job.

Looks like Eric might have Rowe’d his boat right out of Carolina.

Disappointed in the thread title tbh. Thought for sure Troy Hill deserved a “Panthers sign superstar CB” thread title.

Another reason why Lemieux is here:

There’s a reason Ritchie is unsigned, he can provide scoring depth on a fourth line but for some reason he’s had a negative +/- on nearly every team he’s played on. Let’s look no further than his time in Toronto in 2021. Ritchie played 33 games for Toronto and was a -6 on a team that had a goal differential of +39. To put that in perspective, William Nylander had the worst +/- on the Maple Leads with a -9… over 81 games… So the player with the worst +/- on the Maple Leafs was only on the ice for 3 more goals than Ritchie while playing nearly 50 MORE GAMES than Ritchie. What makes this worse is that Ritchie only averaged 12 minutes of ice time a game, Nylander averaged over 18 minutes of ice time per game. So then you say, maybe it’s a fluke, but then you realize that Ritchie hasn’t been a plus player since 2019 and just last year he was a -6 with Calgary in a whopping 16 games. So then you look at Brendan Lemieux who outside of one bad year for New York back in 2019 is a +4 for the entirety of his career. Lemieux was a -3 last year but he somehow managed to have a +3 once he moved over to one of the worst teams in the league in the Philadelphia Flyers. The year before that, Lemieux was a +1 in 50 games with the Kings. So the TLDR version of why Lemiuex is here and Ritchie isn’t is because Lemiuex is defensively responsible and Ritchie isn’t. And for a Rod Brind’Amour coached team, being a defensively responsible fourth liner is much more important than being an offensive threat but defensively irresponsible fourth liner.

If we get the 2021-22 Kings version of Brendan Lemiuex then Canes fans will love him. Good skater, forechecks hard, gets to the front of the net, can score the occasional goal, throws the body around, is a massive pest, and can fight. If he does all of that and chips in 10 or so goals then it’s a massive win for the Canes.

Just remember that Derek Stepan played 70+ games for the Canes last year and Lemieux is much more useful than him. Lemieux is actually a good skater and throws the body around. Just two years ago he had 13 points in 50 games with the Kings (8 of those points being goals). Over an 82 game season that averages out to 21 points which is around the same pace that Stastny was at and a much better pace than Drury and Stepan were at. Lemieux reminds me a lot of Ryan Lomberg, a guy you’d love on your team but if he’s not then you think he’s a POS. Similar to TDA, I think Canes will grow to like Lemiuex because we haven’t had a guy like him in a long time.

He easily could be. He’s a fourth line guy that the Canes brought into be a physical presence and every Canes fan knows Rod loves his vets. GMDW noted that Ponomarev will get some games but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’ll start right out of the gate. If Svechnikov is unable to play the beginning of the season then it’ll either be Lemieux or Ponomarev. As I said above, Rod prefers his veterans.

He didn’t say he was cheap. He basically said that if he could find someone to do the same job that Rod does for less than he’d go with the guy that’s going to command less. Which is what any businessman would do. As far as the product on the ice being cheap… we have $900K in cap space, we literally can’t do anything else outside of trading players. As for Rod it comes down to whether Dundon thinks Rod is responsible for the ascension of the team or if he thinks the players are more responsible. If Dundon thinks it has more to do with the players and that another coach could come in and get the same result for less money then yes, Dundon will go with the other coach.
