Players that helped/hurt themselves (Game 2)

HELPED

Damiere Byrd - 3 catches for 36 yards and should have had a TD but DA missed him.

Marcus Lucas - big target that had 3 grabs for 39 yards.

Jeremy Cash - solid on special teams and contributed 5 tackles on D with one for loss.

 

HURT

Daryl Worley - Had 5 tackles but was picked on often. He will learn and get better.

Scott Simonson - Got the start but could not get open and did next to nothing.

Helped:

Bene Benwikere

Damiere Byrd

Kevin Norwood

David Mayo

James Bradberry

Eric Crume

2nd string Oline - Hawkins?  I wasn't watching them too closely, but they seemed better this week.  Need to go back and watch more closely to see who did well...

Fozzy - nice shiftiness

Delaire on pass rush

Robert Lester

 

 

Hurt:

Sandland (especially thinking of the one play when he was pushed back into our backfield)

Simonson?  He's still clearly #3 on depth chart, nothing really changed, but was hoping to see him flash.

Garrett?  Was he even ever on the field?

Delaire re: Run blocking

 

Hard for me to really say too much about CAP / Wegher.  I wonder if we're deliberately not playing Wegher with the 1s so as to be able to safely stash him on the PS.  CAP had a couple of nice runs.  I'm not too worried about him.

That's right, forgot about Garrett. Apparently so did our coaching staff

I think like the OP, you have to put Lucas in the conversation of helping himself. The other TEs did next to nothing. 

Garrett was a forgotten man. If they can send Brandon Boykins packing last year, then Garrett can definitely be sent on his way this year. For that matter, Todman last year was arguably better than a few of the backs so far this year, so that's something to think about.  

Sometimes circumstances hurt you more than you hurt yourself.

I've seen this name a couple of times but, who the fug is Eric Crume? Ive never seen him mentioned in tc practice tweets and never seen him make a play on the field. 

Yeah he's an interesting guy. It's going to come down to 330lbs Crume , Robert Thomas and Kyle Love for the 5th DT spot.

And that's IF we choose to have 5DT's on our roster.

He's a DT we signed to a futures contract in Jan.

He's nearly never been mentioned in practice write ups, but he's made some very nice plays last week and this week in terms of pressure.

TEs - Besides Lucas, where were the young guys? Simonson was bad, but Sandland and Deaver don't seem to have gotten any targets at all. Why?

Sandland was blocking a lot of plays.  We seemed to be using him in a FB-esque role today.

Yup, we have ridiculous depth at DT, LB and WR.  Who we keep as a 5th DT (IF we do, as you said) is going to be a very hard choice.

I'm guessing you meant McClain?

Oops!!  I don't even have the excuse of being in Africa and writing that at 3 or 4 in the morning with the time zone difference.  I'm here in CLT until the end of the month.

I think I was thinking of DT Robert Thomas, but yes, McClain has been solid as well

    • 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.
