I had no hope at all, but he’s been very impressive his last three games. I did not see this coming and I couldn’t be more happy if it turns out I was wrong.

Haha, this sums up exactly how I feel. It could be great, but it could also be a disaster.

Prime 2.0 is a bit much, even for you. One is one of the best coaches of all time and the other is a self promoter.

I thought Chop had been very average so far, but I haven’t seen him play.

I’m 100% aboard with Graham if we move to a 4-3, that would be a brick wall!

One thing being reported is that the play calls come in really early so he has plenty of time to look at the defense, still “talk to” Canales etc. Just one thing, but I can see it making a difference

If we switch to a 4-3, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. If not I probably say no

What’s everyone’s take on Abdul Carter? I haven’t watched any Penn State games but he seems to be the consensus number one edge rusher. Is he only a rusher or can he set the edge against the run as well?

You can also support him while admitting he lacks the ideal size and physical tools, it works both ways. I really liked what I saw the last game, if he can do that again and the redzone issues get sorted out we might have a good enough starter. So that’s what I’m hoping for.

Wonnum has been very impressive so far, a really great signing.

Agree, love Mack, but it was time.

I thought he looked great in that game. If he can continue to play like that, maybe there’s a chance? Hopefully this continues and doesn’t become a one off.

I respect your opinion (which is a very positive one, so good for you), but in my mind this was his first good game. I would even say a very good game. The previous two games were less bad than before, but not good compared to the average QB. The bar has been so incredibly low, so any improvement is somehow considered “a good game”. But again, yesterday was very good, and hopefully he can have more of those.

I’m not a believer, but I think he looked very good yesterday.

Panthers are starting 2 rookies at WR, 1 rookie at TE, 1 rookie LB, 1 rookie at nickel etc. Not sure what else they could do to “tank harder”. Not playing the young guys would be moronic.

If they were tanking they would have kept playing him

Nix is a 6’2’’ quarterback with a strong arm. If Bryce magically grows a few inches taller and somehow acquires a strong arm, maybe he can do the same thing. But that would be a medical miracle, so I wouldn’t bet on it.

This seems really straightforward. But let’s not have facts get in the way of some good speculation.

This year is probably one of the least important ones in a couple of years to pick first. There is currently a group of players in the top 10. And even when it is a so called clear no 1, that player don’t seem to pan out. e.g. Lawrence, Young, Williams etc. I’d rather not pick first to be honest.

First Coker manhandle Burns, next cut Legette blocks him out of the picture. Hilarious to watch. I’m so glad we didn’t pay him. https://x.com/baldynfl/status/1856137993314029994?s=46&t=zdFLMqd3t9b2DcvnHsC-IA

I had no idea Chargers and Vikes used 3-4 tbh. Steelers have traditionally used a very large NT. Maybe times are changing? I still prefer a big guy at NT though.

My main problem is that Evero “doesn’t believe in the traditional gargantuan NT”. He likes a smaller type NT. It is really weird but it was said multiple times when we hired him. I think the 3-4 can work, but you need a monster NT.

Williams, while being superior to Bryce in terms of physical attributes, had some of the same concerns, e.g. limited play in the pocket and holding on to the ball forever while running around waiting for someone to get open.

I agree, if we move to a 4-3, I would look hard for a 4-3 end.

He has the potential to be an exceptional edge rusher/OLB in a 3-4 defense. I would like to see his size confirmed to make sure he is big enough, but if so, he could be a really good choice if we pick 10th.
