He just seems like he's been off a little bit recently. Last night he didn't snap the ball twice when Cam wanted it. He also got beat terribly in our own territory resulting in a sack. That isn't the first time either. I am just wondering if anyone else has noticed and if he's at 100 atm.

The noise of the crown and his own voice calling out protections made it impossible for him to hear cam. So the coaches had our OGs literally slap him when the clock was running down so he knew to snap the ball.

Maybe his hearing is going and he needs aids. If both guards can hear Cam, but he can't then something is up.

My neighbor who has coached football said its actually the right guards job to watch the clock and tap the center when it the clock is winding down.  He said the center is busy with setting up the blocks and the guard will touch him when it is time to snap the ball. On a few other plays I did see Norwell hit Kalil on the hip and then he snapped it.

It's not about hearing it's about not being able to look at the clock while calling out protections. The guards can look at the clock but if it was an unexpected defensive look it took a bit more adjustment. It happened once so I don't think it's a huge issue.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
