Wes Horton..what we know and what we don't

Looks like he will be starting over Mario according to R.R. They think he is stouter against the run then Mario, but not the edge rusher that Addison is.Stats are 6'4 270 lbs and another UDFA.He had 2 sacks in 2013 with limited playing time.The team had at least 4 sacks every home game in 2013 and 7 so far in 2 games.Heavy rotation up coming with Horton in on running downs and Addison on passing downs this week.So what do you think about Wes...will that rotation get the job done? Not much choice actually....time to step up and do what needs to be done.

Luke will prolly shadow him more than the TE Miller. Harper should do ok covering Miller. Even tho Harper is slower than ideal, Miller was never that quick, and playing his 10th year hasn't made him quicker, either.

 

Looking forward to seeing how Cason, White, and Benwikere handle Antonio Brown, Wheaton, and Lance Moore. Hope their coverage is good so the D-Line can get some coverage sacks.

We also have Ealy to plug in on certain plays, I'm excited to see our platoon rotation on the D Line, keep running in the fresh bodies.  Colin Cole was awesome last game, although I know you're talking about DE.

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
