I know I annoyed some with my DeAngelo rants

DeAngelo overall was a good player for us and I realize me wanting him gone got on some of your nerves...sorry about that

but we finally cut him and what do you know, we immediately go 15-1 and have our best season in franchise history.

How does this relate to Seattle? Well in every game at Carolina who had a key fumble to set up Seattle for the win? DeAngelo.  Who ain't here?  DeAngelo.

I'm not saying DeAngelo was a super secret sleeper jinx disguised as a good player....but it is what it is.  Gotta read the tea leafs.

 

 

 

 

 

This post is 99% joking, 1% serious as hell

DeAngelo was only responsible for one of those losses.

The rest - was we didn't seem to have enough of the killer instinct to put a team away when the game was on the line.  Different team today.

I hope to see our Oregon back punch them in their throats with hard running and stuffs their defense for TDs.  I hope Cam shows them why he IS the MVP and Olsen has a BIG, BIG day today.

Both games at Carolina he had HUGE fumbles.  One set up an easy score in the red zone  and one basically kept us from scoring when we got into their redzone.  They were both less than a TD games.

i was just looking at how close those game were and that was when in all honesty they had better teams than us.  They don't this time.

This thread is probably half joking and half serious. But I agree with OP..  Glad he's gone.  And I'm glad he used it as motivation and played well for Pittsburgh 

I noted in the OP it was "99% joking, 1% serious as hell"

  Even as a Steeler fan also, I was pissed when I first saw him in pre-season,and he  was 15-20 lbs lighter. The only motivation he had was that his "gravy train" had run out and he had to earn his place on a team. Instead of the team being stuck with him because he would cost more to cut than actually play. I was happy for the Steeler fan in me, but knowing it from both sides made me furious that he basically went through the motions for the last couple years.

Lesson here. Don't sign RBs to second contracts.

I don't hate DeAngelo, never did nor will.  I hope the best for him and it sucked for him the last few years and some fans were brutal.  Whatever.

My point is I am focussed on the current starter and hope he is going to thrash some Hawks defenders like a cat snagging a seabird with a great pounce and killer instinct.

Today is about Stewart, Camvp, and hunger.  Go eat, fellas.  This is our time!

Thought Stewart was the one that fumbled last year.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.

      Nothing about the Flyers scare me. They are a mid team that just barely made the playoffs.
