Good lord dude was all over the place today.

 

Having TD back certainly helped, and I think our d-line play was much better.  Hopefully we see more of the impressive second half defense like last year.

 

I really hope we all take time to sit back and enjoy what we're seeing in watching #59 play. Guys like that don't come alone every day.

Enough with all these Kuechly every-time-we-win-after-the-game threads. Tackles should only count when it's made in the back field for a lost or no gain. Just like sacks. A DB tackling a WR on a 50 yard completion is not a great play. Tackling the RB after a 10 yard gain should not count as a tackle. The game of defense is about sacks and INTs. Unless there is a score there is a tackle in almost every possession. It's not something rare or difficult to get.

 

Come on guys, let's pretend we understand the game like those other fan-bases in storied franchises. Even I can fall on top of a pile and get myself a piece of tackle. lol

 

Oh I get it.  So an LB whose assignment is to drop back 5 to 8 yards from the LOS should just let a runner have a free pass to a TD since there's no point in tackling him if he makes it past the LOS?  Makes perfect sense.  NOT.

Yes and no.

 

Sometimes a downfield tackle is a big play by minimizing damage done from someone else's manner.

 

A big part of football is stepping up when a teammate screws up.  Yes you need to correct their misplay, but during the play it is the job of safeties and linebackers to get ball carriers on the ground to minimize the impact of the misplay.

Wow...  You must be one of the pretenders, otherwise you would understand this guy was all over the field today making plays, ie, blowing up RB pass protections (which was sick today), getting across the field to bring down a runner, and not letting the team score.  

Really?  You think all the dude's doing is falling on dog piles.  We must not of been watching the same game.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
