On his favorite team being the Carolina Panthers and potentially playing against them:

Ha, yeah, I have to cool down a little bit. It breaks my heart.  But my uncle always asks, 'how would you feel about tackling Cam Newton?' I tell him, 'I couldn't do it.' I mean, of course I will.  I'll let him score. Nah, I'm just messing with you, I wouldn't do that.

Yeah, a bit odd since he seems to be a better fit for a 3-4 and Dave has been adamant in the past that players who don't fit our scheme aren't on our board. Then again, we do have a new DC...

Guess the hundreds of threads posted by Huddlers over the past 10 years of our impending switch to a 3-4 finally make sense.

Yep, not where I was trying to go. The Broncos drafted Von Miller when the were running a 4-3 and still found a way to utilize him.

I think I saw a tweet saying he's been playing with a bummed shoulder the past 2 seasons and he just had surgery to finally fix it?

or am I thinking someone else?

Nope you're thinking of the right guy.

If there is anyone with insider knowledge of Takk, @OnlyPantherFaninMaine would be the man to know so I would just nod my head with anything he says about the kid,

Panther fandom aside, I liken him to a Dwight Freeney/Tamba Hali mold. He is projected to be a mid 1st round pick so he definitely will not be there in the 2nd round so I do not think he is in play outside a trade down from 8th to mid round pick.

Yup, that is him. He played his entire senior season really banged up and was still able to produce and force himself into 1st round consideration. He had some groin issues too if I am not mistaken but never wanted to come off of the field because he is all about the team and winning. Takk is a speed rusher that wins on speed and effort alone and will take some time to develop a pass-rush arsenal. He's a bit stiff laterally and struggles against bigger athletic offensive tackles. Football is his meal ticket and he has an unbelievable back story that is worth looking up. Wish the best for him, he and I grew close a couple years ago. He was an absolute monster on special teams when he would line up as a gunner and run a 4.5 down the field at 6'2 250lb. He's a lightning rod and an energy guy that can get a whole team fired up after making a play.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
