Starting to make some plays and showing up on game day. He is improving slowly but surely. Maybe not the bust that some have claimed. Give him some time and keep him healthy and they may make a decent player out of him afterall.

More than anything I think we'd rather have HH still....Olsen + him would make the offense hard to stop and give another big target....our defense other than the S play has been fine in most of the games. I don't think most people actually had a problem with him as much as it's a luxury pick to take a 1st round flat out backup on this team.

He's also a monster on FGs. He's always in the area of getting a block. Mark my words guy is going to come up with a huge block later this year. 

Yeah, he's a natural at it. I believe he already has two in the limited time he has played. Probably would have had one yesterday if the kick wasn't shanked.

I can't disagree.  Hopefully he will continue to improve.

He definitely effected the Vikings kicker yesterday. I'm pretty sure he got his hands on the ball but there were no good camera angles to show it.

He didn’t on one angle. He would have though, but it was hooked so bad it went to the left of his hand in that short of a distance. Absolutely was not getting there even if straight. 

I disagree every angle was fuged so you can't say for sure.

They were but I recall one from the right side they showed really quick and didn’t replay it. You could see it hook left of his hand. I remember because I was interested to see if he got it since I actually like Butler. He signed some balls for my kids in his rookie training camp. Big man. 

Maybe when the all 22 comes out it will show exactly what happened.

Another big target? Like KB?

Anyway, I think we have to remember that Butler was almost out for the year in preseason. I’m glad we have him because we have a 4 man DT rotation that no one else in the playoffs has and they will be pretty fresh. Look at what Short did in the second half. I felt like I saw Butler and Love on running downs and then Star and Short on passing downs. That’s not a luxury IMHO, that’s an advantage.

I don’t think Henry is enough of a difference over Dickson (no one guessed Olsen would be hurt so long this year) that I’d rather not have the best all game (not just starting) DL in the playoffs. Pressure is how we beat Minnesota and it’s how a team like the Giants beat a juggernaut.  

Henry is light years ahead of Dickson in blocking and contributing to his offense. TEs are usually big.  Henry should have been the pick!  Butler was a luxury pick pure and simple, and our rotation would have survived successfully without him.

He's a damned solid DT with even more potential for future improvement, much to the chagrine of the haters.

Maybe we can get Mark Andrews from OU in the first round next year.

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take.

      Injury report

      By Icege · Posted

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By CRA · Posted

      TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
