so the rams cut him but he will be carolinas miracle? lol

I read he missed or was late for a meeting Saturday. He's kind of been like Lafell was for us. They kept waiting for this kid to breakout but he never did.

He's got pretty solid hands though. Made a huge catch week 1 against Tampa late in the 4th

Bucs just signed Trindon Holliday and released rookie return man Solomon Patton.  I thought he was pretty impressive on the returns I saw him on, but I know...   "Herp, the Bucs cut him, and he is supposed to be the answer here, derp."

 

Well, to be fair, they let Underwood go pretty quick, and that obviously didn't work out so well for us. I think he's still an FA too. Ugh.

Yeah, but I think that is the issue with our FO.  Too many times we stick with a guy that we shouldn't, and then completely ignore some guys that are available at positions of need that we shouldn't.

 

Underwood just wasn't very good, and I get the feeling that he was signed as a sort of pacifier for everyone because of all of the losses we incurred over the offseason, and that wasn't long after losing Ginn, IIRC.  He just wasn't good.

Wasn't a done deal yet, but is now.

I hope against all hope that Gettleman is on the phone with his agent now... but, I know in all likelihood he's not. Nor will he be... le sigh.

I don't know...

He's not a burner and i wouldn't consider him a weapon but he's had reliable hands during his career. He can also be had for very cheap. Pretty much the definition of a Gettleman WR signing no?

Bad day for guys named Solomon in Tampa...

    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
