We have Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, and Shaq Thompson; arguably 3 of the best athletes at the linebacker position in the league...so why on earth was Roman Harper of all people matched up with Jimmy Graham of all people for the entire game??? If we had anyone else on Graham, the Seahawks struggle to get to 14 points. At the very least Tre Boston should be in for Harper on long passing downs

Rivera has a record of waiting until halfway in the season until he corrects safety or cornerback play .. Just look at the pervious years when he waited to finally put in Bene and Tre Boston .. Roman harper was murdered last night and he continued to keep him in .. Because of him and some of the drops by Funchess I ran out of beer well before the end of the game.

No he doesn't. 

Both Boston and Bene were injured last year which is why they didn't play at all. Rivera is not stubborn about veterans. This narrative has been proven wrong time and time again. 

Harper is the weak link in the secondary and we knew that going in. Boston is a FS and he got beat out by Coleman who has been playing pretty damn well for us this year. When Marlowe or someone else can step up and take the job from Harper, they will. 

Now I have no idea why they stuck Harper on graham, but it's not because there's an all-pro ready this minute to step in that Rivera is too stubborn to play. It's because he is unfortunately the best option at the position for us.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      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

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
