Panthers Rhule

The Titans cut rookie wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick. So what you ask? It just so happens that the Titans traded the Panthers 3 draft picks to move up to draft him. The Panthers received picks #126 (Chubba Hubbard), #166 (Keith Taylor), #232 (Phil Hoskins). Titans latest cut is actually a waste of three draft picks (msn.com)

Yeah, I wouldn't do that either but was curious if anyone would.

I want the Lions starting RT. He's looked really bad the preseason. We have an RT that we're trying to play at LT and they have an LT that they are trying to play at RT. Just for giggles ofc, how would y'all feel about Moton for Sewell? That would mean we'd have to play 2 rookies at the tackles ofc. Sewell on the left and likely Cristensen on the right. It's just fantasy land but would y'all be happy with that?

Do you have a feeling about who or what we would trade for a player? I've been expecting another trade as well but I can't decide what asset(s) we would use.

Covid derailed everyone's lives. I lost my job because of covid and still haven't recovered and due to my age I probably never will. Much like millions of other people around the world.

I'm not so sure about that. He's a back up at best. He can play G too but he's not exactly an answer unless we unload Paradis to play either Eff or Teck at C and bring this guy in as a reserve.

I think it was just called Newhart

I think this a a good analysis. Knowing what other teams would be willing to trade for takes knowing the other teams way better than I do. I could only give an answer as to how I perceive the players as a Panthers' fan which doesn't carry any weight with any team and most other Panthers' fans. LS, both of these players would be an improvement for many teams. A potential SB team might be willing to trade for Jansen if they saw LS as a weakness as that could cost them at a big moment. For Fletcher idk, maybe. I can say that I expect Johnson's signing means that Nixon is definitely not 1 of the 53 and possibly Hoskins too depending on whether we carry 8 or 9 DL or if we trade someone we perceive as above him like YGM. I wouldn't include Haynes due to his versatility. WR is difficult because it depends on how we decide to list Cannon because Rhule came as close to endorsing him as a 53 as he is ever likely to do for his ST skills. Returner and Gunner he said was rare and he was perhaps the best gunner in the league I think he put it. If he's listed as WR then both Saunders and Zylstra are likely gone. Of these players, the most likely to get a trade offer for would be YGM, Hoskins, Saunders and Zystra, Jansen and Fletcher in that order but YGM would be a surprise trade so Hoskins maybe the most likely and then it's possible a team desperate for a PR might take a shot at Saunders or Zylstra. But the only players I'd think we could definitely get a pick for would be YGM who isn't a bubble player I believe but just perhaps could be considered expendable if the offer was good as well as Hoskins for his potential. The others are all shots in the dark. I'm just happy that for the first time we have multiple positions where I'm really torn over who stays and who goes. I'd like to keep each one of them and in most years we probably would have except for the LS battle.

I think Will Grier finally received some real coaching for the first time and he worked hard and by golly the guy got better. This team has a few players like that. Young guys who hadn't quite taken that next step have done so in their first off season with this staff. I think we have some very good coaches around here from top to bottom and it's already starting to show. Carter, Luvu, Grier and (fingers crossed) Darnold. Some of the safeties are playing much better than expected too. Each 1 is an example of a player who's been around a few years and is showing improvement in their play. That's all hard work and coaching.

I hope you keep Grier. I know he is mostly hated and hadn't done much before but I personally think he has done really well this camp and has shown tremendous improvement. He has ran the offense efficiently, made quick decisions and his passes have been mostly on target. If I had to choose between him and Walker at this time I would honestly go with Grier. I think he's more similar to Darnold so the change would be more fluid making him a better long term back up if he continues to improve under Brady. Walker appears to be the same as last season but Grier is definitely looking better than last year.

I'm not sure if there will be any OL available worth trading for. It's rare to get anyone at this point beyond a dice roll young guy and we already have 2 rookies for that plus Teck. I would expect to see a LB, FB, or DB if anything. Although I never expected a DL so who knows?

Cool! I'm an English teacher too. I played Strong Safety in HS. I was too small to play beyond that. I could have played for a small religious school near my home town but chose to go somewhere else. I've sometimes dreamt about trying to coach kids at some level but with young kids I've always chosen not to lose the time with them but sometimes think I might try it once they are grown. I have girls so peewee league isn't an option either.

I didn't know you coached. May I ask which position and level? Not to judge but only because I find coaching interesting and enjoy listening to coaches perspectives about many different things. Especially High School and under. Probably because I'm a teacher and played up to HS level. Thanks

So, you think Hoskins in the odd man out? That's what I'm wondering. Which of the DL that were most expected to make the team is gone now. By your list that would be Hoskins. I'm assuming ofc that your listing Brown and Roy as his back up although I guess instead of Hoskins out it could be Roy.

Fair enough. But whose spot does he take? That's what I'm having difficulty understanding. So I thought maybe it could be YGMs but if not his then whose?

Yeah, I'm not saying it's gonna happen but he's the only player I can see him replacing. Same role, age but better ST and if they think he has more potential as a pass rusher that might explain this trade. I've been trying to figure out whose spot he's taking and I can only come up with YGM. Unless they go with 9 DL because they are light at LB which could be possible.

Well after today's trade, what about YGM?

I openly and often tell people to get vaccinated. Everyone should get vaccinated. However, the only way to get more people vaccinated is by talking to them and trying to remove their doubts. Sharing correct information and personal experiences is how we do that. If people are banned then we can't convince them now can we? That is why I responded negatively. People will not suddenly become unvaxxed if they have already taken it but maybe, we can convince someone to become vaxxed but we can't do that if they aren't here.

Dude, I'm sorry for your loss. My instinct was to rant. But it felt wrong. It seems that's all anyone does anymore. It feels like we're all broken. What happened to our humanity? I'm old enough to remember when people didn't generally hate and distrust one another like we seem to do now. This is not who we really are. I think we all need to take a step back and remember who we really are and what's really important in life. It for damn sure isn't anything we'll experience in this God forsaken internet world.

He had to wear the Bills gear so that their offence wouldn't poo themselves when they saw him.

He played in Carolina but he has very few personal connections to the new organization beyond what he experienced with his short time with us post retirement. Buffalo has a lot of old regime connections. In fact, it's mostly for this reason that they have become my AFC team to pull for. I wouldn't blame him if he decided to start working with them at some point.

I literally just read this article about 10 minutes ago. Forget Beating Covid-19. Europe Is Preparing to Live With It. (msn.com) The EU has never lifted mask mandates for indoor activities only outdoor activities in small numbers. The vaccination rate is higher even though they received the vaccines much later and their resistance to them is much less with the bulk of the population only recently having access to them. A few EU countries are even predicting near 80% vaccination by early September. The death rate for the Delta Variant is half that of the US and with vaccinations happening daily, the number of new cases has dropped significantly since a peak in July. It has nothing to do with politics. Even in the US. The most vaccine hesitant demographics in the US are actually Blacks and Hispanics which are mostly Democrats. Among whites, Republicans are more resistant but they are not alone. The Virus is a reality. It kills people and will continue to do so. The vaccination greatly reduces the risks of not only death but hospitalization. It may not be 100% but it's close and it's the best we have at the moment. My entire family is vaccinated minus my youngest who will be in January when she turns 12. Vaccines are literally saving people lives. Everyone, please strongly consider getting vaccinated so that everyone can live long enough to hold the people who unleashed this upon us accountable and brought to justice for what they have done.

I never said he couldn't learn to throw. Although I'm happy you admit that he does. I just said that he needs to learn how to throw or the Ravens should move on. You seem to lose focus and let your anger override the discussion. You never said what my transparency was by the way. Care to put it into words now or do you prefer to claim victory over something i fail to understand. You do realize that when you posted Jackson's run stats that you proved he's a running QB. Do you not?

YOu gave me the facts bro, Jackson: 10.5 Thanks for making my point. Good job.
