I have a feeling we will have some waiver claims out there--we should find out tomorrow and Wednesday

I can say this about NC A & T--I was a professor at Gardner-Webb and the Aggies came to play us in Boiling Springs--put a beat down on us. I was talking to a coach after the game (a week or so later) and he said it was the best coached team they played in a while. Hats off.

I was a TE in college, but I coached offensive line in high school for about 5 seasons. I was an English Teacher, so it got too demanding, so I had to phase it out. Brandon's dad is now a preacher in the Kannapolis area. His name is Curtis and he played for UNC and then the Steelers for a season. Dwight Hollier (LB, UNC, Dolphins, Colts) coached with us as well. Brandon and my son were the tee and ball boys.

1.5 sacks in 3 games where he was probably not playing every down? What was it, 5 pressures? Shoot, that is promising. This is good news.

From what I can see, this kid has intelligence, work ethic, and the gifts he needs to succeed. I will be pulling for him. About BAM and LUVU. Solid depth, special teams.

I have known Brandon Parker (Raiders) since he was about 5. He is a FB friend of mine--good person. His dad and I coached together. Dad played for the Steelers a bit. I would love to see us trade for him. He has been behind some vets in LV, he is a swing tackle--can play.

Mine is "Slouch." Need to change it.

Wisdom from Me: This is the kind of player who continues to develop into a third-year phenom--like Hardy, like CJ, like Rucker--it takes time for DEs, and he is already showing signs of breaking out. The DE room is crowded here now (incl. OLB/edge), but Fox, YGM, Burns, and this guy could help turn the corner. Haynes to OLB (someone else said that before I could) with Reddick and Luvu--solid DE rotation. Heard it here third.

Goes by BAM

Had to spend my disposable income on starch for my golf shirt collar. Next week, I don't purchase my hair gel at Dollar Tree. I mean, image is everything.

OK--off topic--when again can we ditch the gut and the nut pics?

Reddick, Haynes, and Luvu as the Swing LB.

I said, "I have spoken." That should have ended the conversation.

I would not worry about draft picks in 2022 until April. I think, if Darnold does well, we will trade back and get a few picks. We may only need a G, C, and LB. To be had in rounds 2-3. I have spoken.

Conspiracy Theory sorta: The offense has been focused on hybrids--Ricci and Cannon (Erving, Christensen, Elflein, etc, too). Maybe the plan is to keep fewer offensive players (9 OL, 5 WRs, No real FB---Ricci + Arnold and Tremble at TE, Cannon as the third RB, 6th WR)....maybe we keep 24 Offensive players and 26 defensive players.

In my head, he was cut. I am omnipotential.

hope it is for a player--

NC A & T

Wasn't he already cut?

I think he is a special teams ace? 6-6, 265

Interesting. Thought we were set at DE...

That is a good one. I want to get a Charlton Jersey. Nobody gets the punter's jersey.

I like the jerseys nobody else has--like a Brad Hoover back in the day--so on this squad, I am really liking Chinn or maybe Tremble. I would think "88" but I have a feeling a lot of Olsen fans will still be wearing his jersey.

I was actually thinking collar bone or shoulder separation.

I had that thought--then I thought, "3 year contract..."
