If RR is concerned about Addison not being "big" enough to be an every down DE, then I'd say Jared needs to put on a few pounds...

I think that was just a nice way for Rivera to say Mario isn't "good" enough to be an every down DE. His only impact is rushing the passer...not the case with Allen (hopefully).

You're probably right about the MA deal, but at any rate, a NFL 4-3 DE should ideally weight more than 255 pounds

With that being said, I don't give a fug what he weighs as long as he can get pressure on the opposing QB.

What I was not expecting was how quickly Allen seems to have taken up the leadership and mentor role left vacant by Charles Johnson (now on IR). 

Allen was especially talkative and demonstrative with both Mario Addison and Wes Horton. Throughout practice, Allen would stop and chat or demonstrate a move of the hips or perhaps a hand movement. The little things that can turn an average defensive end into a good one. 

I was really hoping to see the name Kony Ealy in this paragraph. If Ealy has any sense he will get under Jared's wing and stay there as long  as possible.

Man I wish CJ didn't get hurt and we could have these 2 on the field at the same time right away.

Pop quiz hot shot....what happens if we never would have gotten him if CJ wasn't hurt.  Would you still NOT want CJ hurt?  well, WOULD YOU?!?!??!

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
