I remember liking him from that draft class.  Well it's better than nothing!

i was in the opposite boat, never liked him as a prospect. I was worried we were going to draft him after the Panthers met with him. Farthest thing from a flashy WR so he has Gettleman written all over him.

 

Hopefully something clicks but I'm not holding my breath.

I really didn't do anything besides run routes at my pro day. My routes were pretty decent. I had a workout with the Panthers the next day. I've got the Patriots lined up. I talked to Phil Savage, the Senior Bowl executive director, and he basically said that I might go mid-third round to no later than fifth. As long as I get my opportunity, I'll be fine.

When I worked out with the Panthers, they just wanted me to run the route tree. It's kind of different with college and pros. Some teams want the speed out instead of just chopping the feet, or when you're running a dig route they want you to speed cut it in. The Panthers want a spear route. We had a nice conversation, and then we went in the receivers room and drew up some coverages. They told me they really like me and hope I won't get picked before they pick me.

This is really interesting if it's a trade....a) because it's a trade and b.) because it's with Seattle of all teams

get the f outta here?  Trade?  No way it is a trade.

we traded for a guy who by all accounts was struggling to earn the 6th WR spot on one of the worst WR corps in the NFL?

Alright, good job Dave.  We must have pissed Dave Gettlemen off somehow....and he is trying to stick it to us.  Well played, sir.  Well played.   That stings a little.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
