Tre Boss 10 looked real good out there.

I know this isn't a huge surprise to a lot of people, but the guy looked great in place of 30 shades of gray.  What was the word on his injury anyway? Was it just an eye cut or something else?  Anyway I need to see PT for this kiddo.  I don't have any pff grades or anything but he looked good and he's much quicker than I remember.   I appreciate Harper I really do, but I think Tre might deserve starting spot very soon if not now.  Also he and Shaq looked great on the field together.  What do y'all think.

I totally agree. To me, Boston always pops when he's out there. He's always around the ball, making plays. I think the D will be that much better if he could step in and be that young, athletic safety -- pretty much the complete opposite of Ol' Silverback.

Shaq needs to be on the field more, somehow, someway. Scheme be damned.   That dude is a whole gear faster than all the other guys out there. He's gonna be a real baller. Honestly the D didn't skip a beat when TD and Harper went out. Same when Luke was out earlier this year.  That speaks volumes.

We're not going to change our scheme but as far as matchups go in this game I bet we'll have our base 4-3 in for most of the game. Broncos are a run based offense and use a lot of TE's so we won't need our nickel or buffalo packages as much as against a team like the Cards or Patriots if they had won. We really matchup extremely well against the Broncos on both sides of the ball. I'm trying my hardest to not overlook them but I'm less concerned about beating the Broncos than I was before the Cards and Hawks games.

It's really hard to complain about anything going on with this team these days...but I think Harper is probably the biggest liability that we have out there. He's too slow. Fortunately I don't think it's going to really matter for the Super Bowl. Mannings arm is shot to hell. Look at Peyton throw, then look at Cam throw....LOL

Tre has youth going for him. He can do things that Harper can't. Harper has experience going for him. He will put himself, and others, in position to make plays.

 

Tre has been getting playing time. Especially during obvious passing downs. So he has still gotten his reps. Harper is better in the run game, which Denver uses quite a bit. But Tre is better in coverage, and the Broncs use that 2 TE set pretty often.

 

They both have positives. They both have negatives. BUT...Tre looked real good yesterday. He may be ready to step in. Although Harper is a more physical presence.

 

So in summation. They both will continue to play situationally. Or as close as we can against Peyton.

I agree. Trying to be as non-homerific as possible, I really think Denver is in trouble. I don't really think it matters who the fug you put out there right about now. I've been trying to think about this, and I can't come up with 1 team that I can remember in my almost 30 years of watching football, that could beat that team that played on Sunday. That was some all time great type poo.

I agree with all you guys.  I also started thinking yesterday, we drafted Shaq to replace td but also to play in specific packages.  I love how he was used against Fitz in the game.  Makes me think this was the plan all along, and it was genius to do it now because the cards would have had little to no tape on Shaq being utilized that way.

I think Finnegan and McClain are without a doubt bigger liabilities than Harper. Harper's been solid all season, despite his athletic limitations.

You know what, you're absolutely right. I forgot about McClain. Finnegan is ok in my book.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
