McClain is 5'9?  Yeesh, welp better hope Nut is back this week.  Or Finnegan will be on the outside.  

Finnegan will be in the slot......that's why he was signed.

McClain and Finnegan worked out at the same time and Finnegan fit the slot

position better and it was what we were looking for at the time.

once we had another issue at the DB position it was a no brainer to bring in McClain.

Per RR on the radio today.

I feel good about McClain. He understands the defense  and he should be able to cover his man in the slot or on the outside with some safety help over the top. Since Wilkes has been here,  when we have played young guys to replace veterans who get hurt or have nothing in the tank it has worked out very well. Wilkes does a hell of a job and Peanut can give him a crash course if he can't play himself.  If they are considering IR they have to have someone in mind to bring here. Otherwise you would give Peanut time to keep healing. They must know he is pretty much done for the year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
