  1. Plummer is like the anti-Darnold. He seems to be at his best when he looks like he's on the verge of panic. LOL
  2. I hope we don't have to play any backup IOL because every play there's immediate pressure right up the gut.
  3. Random redeemed himself for the 3rd down DPI with that pick. Atrocious throw from Rudolph.
  4. I found it entertaining. Why are you white knighting some 45 year old Steelers fan painting his face in an away 3rd preseason game featuring guys who won't be on a roster in a week? What about that touched you? LOL
  5. Imagine being a grown ass man and painting your face for a preseason game. LOL
  6. I fully expect it to just be Bryce and Dalton. Hopefully someone other than Plummer on the PS
  7. Decent return by Etienne. The way our returners have looked this preseason simply ensuring we end the play with possession has to be considered a win.
  8. Absolute penalty fest early on, mostly by them but a crucial one on us on 3rd down. Can't really disagree with any of them. Just a lot of sloppy play.
  9. The Chiefs are primarily a 4-3 scheme under Spagnuolo, but they run a decent amount of 3 man front nickel formations. I'm definitely not sure of how we're gonna use him in Evero's scheme but I predict that if we try to play him at NT he's gonna get bulldozed all over the field and it won't be his fault. It would just be an awful misusage of him.
  10. Better than trying to make him a pass rusher that he's not. Those guys who can occupy two blockers and not give up ground are hard to find.
  11. He's plenty big enough. We just seem determined to try to make him a pass rusher when that's the weakest part of his game. Just let the guy clog the middle, whether it's in a 4-3 or a 3-4. He's similar to an in shape Kris Jenkins in that most of his pass rush success comes from just physically mauling the OL in front of him. It's never going to be the crux of his game.
  12. If Evero still fails to adapt his scheme and the D is trash again there's gonna be serious questions about why the guy was retained in the first place. I mean, yeah we had a lot of injury issues last year on a unit that wasn't that good on paper already but when you field a literally historically terrible unit you're usually gone. That's just the way it works.
  13. I've already been playing around with 2026 mock draft simulators. That's how optimistic I am about this season.
  14. I'd rather watch the Panthers' cheerleaders play football than watch the two best baseball teams in the world. LOL
  15. Only the edge rushers. We're stocking up on 3-4 edge rushers. So yeah, we're building the D around one of our weakest overall units. Typical Panthers brilliance. LOL
  16. I'll be honest, I'd totally forgotten the game was today. Not sure I'll watch or not. If I'm around with nothing else to do, I guess. If it'll stop damn raining I'd like to spot spray some weeds in the pastures. If it doesn't maybe I'll watch some camp bodies try to put something on tape.
  17. I'll just lock this one and pin the other one.
  18. IMO, we have a guy tailor made to play 3-4 NT on the roster in Derrick Brown but since we paid him a gazillion dollars and drafted him in the top 10 we feel forced to try to play him in roles where he'll get sacks instead of just letting him focus on clogging the middle. He's not a sack artist. He's never going to be a sack artist. And honestly, that's fine. Just let him clog the middle.
  19. It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
  20. I don't get Evero's obsession with lighter, quicker nose tackles. It's hard enough to find a giant that can consistently hold up to double teams. That's already a bit of a unicorn. It's the biggest hurdle to fielding a good 3-4 DL IMO. But now you want to find a lighter, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, okay... good luck with THAT. Now you're talking about the unicorn of all DL unicorns.
