What he's overcome to play at the college level is inspiring, but the challenges and the stakes are infinitely higher at the pro level.

Linebacker isn't necessarily an immediate need for us, but with Thomas Davis set to retire and Shaq Thompson a free agent after this year unless the fifth year option is invoked, it might be worth looking at. Even if Thompson's fifth yer is activated, you still need more linebackers than just Luke and Shaq.

Would you take him or not? Why or why not?

And point blank, does the hand thing make a difference?

He is a winner in life 

talk about ‘keep pounding ‘ he is it

In the highlights I've seen of his tackling, he tends to perform "form" tackles. So the arm tackling worry should be put to bed. He played and had success at high level talent in college ball. I wouldn't mind giving him a shot in the later rounds, if he falls that far. We do have more pressing needs than LB at the moment though. So if the opportunity is there, cool but if a better player in a position of need is there, we can't overlook them.

yall should read his player's tribune piece

I will be rooting for this guy whatever team he ends up on 

I'd absolutely root for the guy.

That said, whether or not he can succeed in the NFL, where plenty of guys who have both hands fail, is another story.

My opinion?  Honestly don't know.

oh yeah, fug i totally forgot about that trade. Still no idea why we would trade a 4th for a punter. Could've just acquired robert quinn for that

Absolutely hated the trade at the time. A 4th round pick for a 33 year old punter just didn't make any sense at all.

Duped by the browns.  That's pretty bad.  I liked getts but he definitely tended to make rash panic moves

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
