Excerpt...

 

Quote

The playbook is totally different from the piece of paper to when you’re on the field and people are coming at you full speed. When we were in the meeting room, I had it all down, but on the field, it was different. I got confused a couple of times, but nothing big.

I feel like I am a quick runner and that I showed them that. I feel like I could communicate. I am quiet off the field, but there is so much communication on the field in the Panthers defense because there is so much motion, that you have to call out the plays. I was doing a little of that (at Samford), but with the Panthers, sometimes the CBs come over and that kind of thing didn’t happen at Samford.

I’m becoming comfortable with (being verbal on the field). Sometimes, just because I’m new to it, I’m hesitant to call out things because I don’t want to be wrong. There is so much you have to think about. The offense motions so much … you have to think about what the offense might do post-snap. And you have to think about the rotations of the safety and they sometimes come over to help the DBs and you want the help. There are a lot of variables.

All of those "variables" he mentions is why I think it took Norman some time to get comfortable in our system. Now, I am not saying Norman is in anyway stupid or a slow learner, but I think Bradberry can pick this up a lot quicker than Norman did (not to mention that Norman was kind of hardheaded in his first 2 years). There will no doubt be ups and downs for our rookie CB's this upcoming year, it's how fast they can pick up our system that will determine whether we will be superbowl contenders or not come playoff time.

Thanks for sharing Scot. However I expected a diary about his draft day, you know, an explicit description about fixing toilets and getting a M$ phone call meanwhile. I can only imagine him laying behind the toilet, screwing, dirty wet hands, phone between shoulder and ear, talking to DG and RR. ..

You're in luck, as the link at the bottom of the page takes you to that entry.

"My mom was in my ear to go fix the toilet seat. We had bought a new toilet seat and it didn’t seem to fit right, so toward the end of the second round, I went to go fix the toilet seat.

Then my phone rang and I saw it was a North Carolina phone number, so I answered it and the coaches told me … I couldn’t really hear a lot because there was so much screaming in the house. Then we celebrated and screamed and stuff and then we all watched my name come across the board. And then they called me back and had me talk to the PR guy, then things settled down, everyone was kind of in shock."

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
