Me too. I think that part of the plan is 'the old Seattle Russel Wilson' derived. They drafted the guy for that reason. Strong, fast enough, wins a lot of those contested balls. Bored so will also add that the accuracy on the line to target becomes more pronounced with distance. There are still balls being thrown or arriving a little late it looked like. 2 degrees off isn't a lot at ten yards but at 40, I don't the algorithm but it's more by 4 times at least. 1 foot becomes 4. Most of deep balls I see, bombs I guess, require adjustment to track them down.

Yeah I agree it was strategic shuffling. A nod and a wink, we'll make it official after some maneuvering.

Is anyone out there on the radar for a post week one signing?

I haven't refreshed by rewatching but my impression in memory is they were wide of the line to the target along with being off in distance, to the point that I didn't trust that a throw that was on target was really any different than the others, it just happened to end in a good place. (saying to me, those times, he did it right, but can't replicate it with regularity?) Obviously I am a critic but think I am being accurate other than my speculation about the on target stuff. Maybe this footwork mechanics thing will tighten things up.

I'm not sure what he 'normally' does. How is anybody? His 'deep' balls were kind of all over the place. Long, and wide. Sometimes they went basically where they were intended, I think. Those were caught, dropped or defended. Let's see some consistency and then maybe we can figure it out.

Lewis, is he still on the team? With the team? Still away for personal issues? What is the story there? This guy seems like a good pickup.

That was about all I needed too.

That's funny. Really, not being sarcastic. The deep balls thing. The answer would be, of course, "balls deep". Which how deep depends on what he is working with. Same as on the field.

This ISM Moore thing is based on ISM was dinged up probably, plus they cut the WRs short so whatever returner that is the better WR is kept. This is pretty fluid still I think. After week one, the expensive vets' contracts do not need to be guaranteed. edit: And as for KR, who the hell knows how that is going go? Less certainty may affect investment motivation.

I should have said instead of signing an iffy player to a big money deal given to a real bona fide guy, it is better to draft another.

They gotta know they aren’t safe way down there. It does suck for them personally.

New model will be build the hell out of your team and use QBs on rookie deals. I would not want to be a Dolphins fan right now.

For sure, that is why they wanted him IMO.

Lol I did not know that was a real award, I was playing. Hope he is in the conversation.

Most improved for me, I'll take that one and hope there is no need for a 'comeback' year. And I am sorry to nitpick I am frustrated and trying not to upset the usual suspects with what I really think.

Appreciate him but he is a notch down from the other guys who were seen as our best LB. In most 'eras'.

As I understand a comeback: first you have to achieve and then be bad - then you can come back to achieving at your previous good level. Come back. He can go most improved.

I messed up my quotation of CPF4LIFE but there it is now lol Yeah. I concur. That Pro day was eye opening. Running start was there. See, I quit spending so much time on looking at NFL players for Panthers drafts until I just said, forget it. It doesn't matter what I think, and I don't really watch college ball any more and don't want to put time into it. Point being I had no preconceptions from 2021 or even 2022 or any of it. No positive bias to reinforce what he did that day. And I decided that I needed to look, so I looked. That pro day, man. I couldn't believe people liked it. on that kind of level

He was putting everything he had into it too. He looks better now but what would Luke or Showboat Ray Lewis be thinking about facing him?

Those 150 yards per season, every one of those yards is.... huge. Well worth it. He must be the ultimate locker room guy.

I gotta say, it is difficult to not express my true opinion of this year's use of our 1st, 1st round pick. The small investment to double down bothers me less, but if it were to bust that would for sure suck.

Maybe but it's probably more his tightened up mechanics because it ain't exactly a major change in velocity.

It is the only thing you can do. College ball on Sundays. Boola boola.

Most of these known name y'all are dropping were vested vet status guys and were released, they weren't subject to waivers.

The Matthews thing may be twofold. Giving him a chance to get a spot before they’re filled up, and he would be taking snaps they want to give Sanders maybe?
