Ricky Proehl on WFNZ yesterday

THIS IS MUST LISTENING!!

Devin Funchess:  He has made a huge jump in terms of his play & growth as a player.  "Taken his game to another level"

Kelvin, Devin & Greg - you're creating nightmares in the Red Zone.

What are realistic expectations for Kelvin?  Will he be able to get back to speed right away?

Stephen Hill - nearly a miracle where he's at right now.  It was huge for Hill & KB to be able to rehab together.  "Now to be where they are"

Kelvin is ready right now.  The biggest test is gonna be mental.  Physically they're ready.  Both of them are stronger than they were a year ago.  "I don't see it (mental block) being any issue with Kelvin because he is already a mentally strong football player"

"We took last year's disrespect personally.  We embraced it.  It fired me up - that's who I was as a player.  I put up numbers but never got respect"

Talks about the development of Ginn as a player.  He was limited in routes in 2013, but now "there's not a route I wouldn't ask him to run"

Is Stephen Hill a true threat to make the roster?   It may have been Kelvin & Stephen Hill as our starters last year.  He was getting ready to make me famous.  He's made KB better in the offseason.  If Kelvin had to rehab by himself, he wouldn't be at the point he is now.  Hill has worked his tail off.  This guys' running full speed, getting in and out of his cuts.

Continuing.... compares Cam & Jake and their differences & similarities.   Both great leaders.  Never embarrasses any of the players or calls them out in public.  Makes the WRs want to do all he askes them to do.  Huge impact on their teammates.

Funchess was "Bambi" at the beginning of last season - like a deer in the headlights.  Now you see so much confidence.  He can play any of the positions.   Last week some of his catches "Wow he looks a lot like Benji"

This interview sure does seem like Hill is a lock to make the roster. Think about this... we have every returning starter from the #1 offense in league last year with 2 stud WRs getting added. I don't care if we put the Charlotte 49ers cornerbacks on the field on defense, with our front 7 on defense combined with an offense that can realistically put 40 up a game, the sky is the limit.

im probably going to cry when proehl is finally plucked away. 

I honestly don't know if this will ever happen.  He has so much invested here.  Not just with this team, but with the area in general.  I know, know...money talks, but does he even have the aspiration to become something bigger like a head coach?  I never got that vibe from him.

I might just be saying this because I too will cry the day he's no longer here.

Instant erection.

I cannot wait. I'm so excited to see our guys this year ball out. If what Ricky says about Hill is true, consider us as having gotten 2 extra first round picks in Hill and Kelvin this year. Our WR Corps will be absolute studs this year.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F  
    • You gonna make me post Stank before every game?  I kid, I kid.
