and not zone block......

do you consider TB12 a legend, maybe the GOAT?? He got outta New England when it was clear he wasn't going to have any good weapons to throw the ball to and wound up in Tampa Bay with Mike Evans, Godwin & Co.

I believe the Giants coaches have done a much better job for DeVito and dumbing down everything as much as possible while still using motion, Barkley, a TE (Waller who is good when healthy) and at least 1 maybe 2 receivers that would probably be our WR1 and WR2.

How fast do you think you could process your progressions with our o-line and receivers who don't have great separation/space generation? Play your first professional games having less than 3 seconds to process (terrible) routes and spacing and see if it messes with your psyche. BY and the Panthers need a hard reboot. It sucks, but it's where we've been driven to.

We'll know more about BY as the season winds down and how he treats this offseason. He has never slacked as far as working to get better during the spring/summers and worked under Adam Dedeaux 2 years in a row (along with Stroud this past summer). I am sure if he works with Dedeaux again his footwork will be a focal point. I think he'll work on his strength, conditioning, and agility more this offseason too. I am with Shocker on BY, he has stayed positive in public and hasn't once pointed any kind of blame on the coaches/teammates/etc. He has the traits to be a good leader, I won't pass judgement until he has an offensive line, receivers/TEs, and a coaching staff who will build around his strengths. That's what's been so frustrating for me - all star coaching staff doesn't have the combined intelligence to design an offensive system that fits your QB and the personnel you have; no...keep trying to push that square through the round hole you dummies.

Agreed, we take waaaay too many shots from outside that get blocked a/o deflected before they get to the net. Even if they do get to the net we don't have anyone parked there like there needs to be if that's going to be our game plan. Also, if you do finally park someone in front of the net they have to have good hands i.e. not Staal or Marty....Bunting can locate, pick the puck up, and place a rebound as good as anyone I've seen on the Canes this year. Maybe Noesen too??

Pesce has the flu/covid. Svech's ribs/sternum and shoulder are all being looked at due to ongoing pain. (Not great to hear)

not too hard...

Has the offense even practiced throwing the ball downfield all year? It doesn't look like it as far as timing and Young being able to drop the ball in....

We may be going to sign up for tee times in early March actually......

Regarding Staal and Burns...it's one of two things: either they have been advised to save some of themselves for the postseason (of course we have to make it there first) -or- Father Time has come bearing fruit baskets and plentiful meats (for Burnsy).

It's like the Canes have been paid off by Tepper to play bad this season. Necas cannot be traded for peanuts and although he hasn't looked good this season this would be a knee-jerk reaction. He may be pressing trying to play for his next contract, but he's better than this.... I am not sure what's going on with this team. We know goalie is a huge issue, but something else is off. Our "window" is down to being slightly cracked open for a gentle breeze right now.

Let's put the BIG goalie pads on TDA and run him out there......

I know Stumpy wants the Juice, but I don't think that's going to happen. Kaapo Kahkonen is a possibility from San Jose and wouldn't be expensive. One other name to watch would be Connor Ingram who plays for Arizona. Ingram would cost more, but has pretty good numbers and to be fair I am not even sure Arizona would trade him.... The pickings are slim, but if Freddy isn't coming back Donny Waddles has to do something IMO.

Well Frank is gone and so are his "guys" and the offense looks the same....no motion, no imagination. FFS why are these coaches getting paid??? I have more creativity drawing plays in the dirt.

Your take here is bad @kungfoodude Have at 'em for being (most likely trash NFL QBs as we'll probably never truly know), but both of them like The Golden Calf of Bristol were very good college QBs. Hell, both Fromm and Bennett could throw the damn ball better than the calf.

Oregon just showing up to collect that bowl paycheck!

You may be right as Georgia's D should completely shut down FSU's offense and turn them over as well. The interesting part of it all will be if any key players from Georgia or FSU decide to sit it out. FSU's defense could keep them in the game if some Georgia players decide to sit out and FSU players don't. They'll have to have their QB be a game manager only though.

Totally agree. Bama got a nice boost from Georgia being a very good team and to a lesser extent LSU and Ole Miss being pretty solid as well. Washington same deal with Oregon being a top 10 team and Oregon State and Utah being decent. I guess also having USC, UCLA, and Arizona all being mid helped too when they are all playing each other. Anyways, as John Fox always said "it is what it is."

Not totally sure about that, but that was my first reaction as well. Georgia vs. FSU will be interesting too. The CFP committee will not want to see the Noles win that one.

I hear everyone on FSU and I'm not a Noles fan, but in the last year of the 4 team format the CFP committee should have FSU in. They were damned if they do damned if they don't, but FSU won every game they played no matter the situation. I don't know why everyone thinks Michigan and Washington are so great. The Pac-12 teams don't play defense, like, at all. Washington was able to outscore Oregon (twice) and all the rest of the Pac-12 teams and really didn't have any real tests non-conference. If Texas doesn't crap the bed they beat Washington. Michigan and Ohio State are basically similar teams and whoever wins that game goes against whatever team comes out of that weaker division they have where teams don't have offenses. Big whoop they shut out Iowa who averages less than 19 pts per game or something like that. Ohio State was the only real challenge on Michigan's schedule and Ryan Day can't coach himself out of a paper bag. Michigan is going to find out when they play Bama and in a way I think the committee put Bama 4 just for this reason. The other "holy hell" is dropping Georgia 5 spots for losing to Alabama.....was that loss THAT BAD? WTF The SEC and Big30 are expanding at the right time because if they had done it this season Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, and Washington would all be in very different situations. I think ESPN would love that tasty Texas/Bama rematch...IMO that's what they want, and the NCAA would like that too because those teams will absolutely fill a stadium and bring ratings.

You want the SEC to riot don't you?

I agree with you. I just think with Boo and Jim Grobe on the CFP committee that an undefeated FSU team will not be left out. Bama, Texas, and Georgia fans going to be sitting on the edge of their seats. It may come down to quality wins and strength of schedule because Bama will say they beat Georgia and Texas will say they beat Bama and Georgia will look at both Bama and Texas and say y'all lost during the regular season....

Honestly if FSU was whole right now with their starting QB and the way their defense is playing I would have them giving Bama and Georgia a tough game.

I don't think Michigan is THE BEST team in the country. I think it's probably either Georgia or Alabama at the moment.
