So darnold has sat out of all the joint practices too bc his starting OL wasn’t healthy? 

You can’t get hit in practice.

I think the thinking is this.

They don’t want him in there without the starting offensive line and WR. 

However, we are so thin at Oline (and Robbie is a little banged up) that they don’t want to risk those guys being out for long.

I do suspect Darnold is still struggling a bit though based on what I heard from camp last week.

No excuses for Slye.

Darnold was a calculated risk from day one. Young first round talent that may be salvageable. They tried to get better options but those all fell through. He is, and always was, Plan D.
 

The only valid criticism is the decision to pass on Fields. We’ll see how that plays out in 10 weeks or so.

Well see how much the contracts are but it’s not smart signing two big contracts to wrs. Especially with us just drafting terrace who is gonna be an impact player early. We have a lot of decisions to make down the road. Hope they have a good plan.

Robby will get a 2-3 year mid-tier deal with a voidable 3rd.

DJ will get a deal that’s cheap in the beginning but balloons out after Robby’s contract.

If only we kept a guy we drafted by the name of Harrison Butker. 
 

 

 

Fug Hurney

The bears O line is completely collapsing on every play. Hard to get a decent assessment of Fields.

He looks pretty calm under fire though.

This is pretty accurate. Bottom 6 of the league is definitely our arena. It was around bottom 10 of the league but that got fuged up averaging 5.7 wins over the last 3 seasons.

Objectively speaking and looking at the NFL and having to pick 6 teams I’d probably pick the Panthers as well, tbh. 

The deep bottom dwellers a couple years ago have surfaced with promising QBs and loves (Browns, Bengals, Jags, Chargers etc) and it’s a shuffle down at the bottom between the Lions, Raiders, Jets and yea…Panthers.

Dear lord don’t let us be the new age Browns.

The Jets are 100% the new browns. 
 

Maybe we’re just the new Bucs(before Brady)?

The draft is a crapshoot. Our success (if it turns out that way) will prob have as much to do with the volume of picks we had as it does our ability to evaluate.

Hurn always put his eggs in 3-4 picks. Not great odds of success.

I appreciate Carboni reporting the good and bad. Especially when it comes to Darnold.

Absolutely no question about it, these guys clearly need game time together to adjust to the system. Especially Darnold and the O line. If they don’t play Saturday, that’s a problem 

Game time isn’t going to fix what isn’t happening in practice.

The D is going to go as far as our DL will carry it. There's more talent in the secondary now, but they're still very inexperienced.

 

That’s not very far.

Teams are going to run and quick pass all over our LB Corp.

Being late August and a 17 game schedule is around the corner would it not be more prudent at this stage to get him used to live fire so to speak in this offense rather than trying to stage favorable scenarios for him? It seems like we are being more cautious with him than some teams with actual rookie quarterbacks.

We haven’t even finalized the starting O-line yet. Don’t put him back there until we at least know the best group to protect him.

Yeah, seems like 78 blew that up.

You can get two 15 minute covid tests at cvs for 23 bucks. Same one pro sports use.

Good to know! Her test only took 12 hours. Negative.

Sucks. Wife is mildly sick right now downstairs. Test results come back in a few days.

At the very least, I fully expect exposure within 3 weeks of my daughter starting school. Kids are super-duper-spreaders.

The area around uncc honestly isn’t great, but he’ll be fine. Typical college area stuff. I’m sure he’ll spend his time on campus or taking the light rail uptown. 

As for food, nothing special up that way really. I grab dinner around there every Thursday night. Lots of ‘typical’ places right by campus to choose from. Just pull up your google map.

Except all the people who for some reason we're convinced they were trading up for Mac Jones. That was one strong rumor I never bought.

Yeah, because Jones’ pro day hadn’t happened yet. They weren’t trading up to get a guy they hadn’t seen.

I found it odd we were never that interested. Didn’t even attend his 2nd Pro Day. I guess it just goes to show how confident we are in Darnold…

We did attend. Just wasn’t Rhule and Brady.

Also, the 49ers trade went down during his first pro day and everyone pretty much knew what was going to happen.

With the new preseason schedule, it's odd how teams are treating the 1st game like they used to treat the 4th game. I would've thought we would see them approach it like the old 2nd, 3rd, and 4th games in that order.

I'm guessing now that we're going to see the new preseason schedule treated like the old 4th, 3rd, and 1st games in that order. I didn't expect that.

Isn’t the first cut down on Tuesday? If so, this makes sense.

and a bunch of rookies and guys you never heard of or who have not play anything but special teams in years if ever.  Their DT are about the same.

That pretty much describes our team.

I think everyone here is overestimating the abilities of our D-line, and LB Corp. 

We have some good starters on the D-line, but not much depth. Particularly in the interior.

LBs are looking rough. 

The first few games will tell us how well our run defense is. I think it is going to be average.

O line is an obvious problem.

So is QB.

7-8 wins sounds about right.

TBH, this is the least news and information we have ever gotten from a training camp.  Idk if it's Rhule, but there's never been such little information coming out of camp since the Huddle has been around that I can recall.  TC threads day to day would be 10 pages minimum.  Combine that with the underwhelming Fan Fest, fans being kept at a distance at TC, and I have to guess Rhule is wanting to limit what is being reported.

From what I hear it had more to do with the Panthers PR dept wanting to be the sole source of news.

All well and good, but they need to actually product content if they’re going to do that.

It seems like Voth and team have just been tweeting a handful of times per practice. They all seem to tweet roughly the same thing too.

Getting a bit more excited about the oline and this team overall.   Still thinking wildcard. 10/11 wins

The LB Corp is still a problem. Teams might be able to run on us.
