I kept hearing people complain why he's still on the team this offseason.  People were putting Wegher and even Scoot Simmons ahead of him on their mock rosters.    

Well guess what, he showed up last season in the playoffs and he just ran for 100 yards and showed more explosion than any RB we've seen in a while.  He's not a workhorse or a bruiser but for the time being, he's proving to be our most valuable asset outside of Cam in the run game.  He found holes and took them.  Sure he lost a fumble but can we start to recognize he is bringing a dimension to our offense that no other RB we have can offer?  

He's been on the team this long for a reason and he showed it.  He was a big part of why we put up 46 points.

Fozzy played well today. Congrats on your 100 day Fozzy...

Magnified by the fact that he came back in after getting checked for a concussion.  The guy took big hits and kept on tickin'

Love me some Fozzy.  He was my adopted Panther last season (guess we're not doing that this season??)  Happy to see him succeed and put up some nice numbers.

Yes, me too. We're going to need that behind Stew bc he can't stay healthy for a full season. Maybe sit Stew and let Fozzy and CAP have at it till Stew is 100, we'll see...

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
