Elijah Hood claimed off waivers

camp body? I don't get to see too much UNC football (am stuck in SEC country) so what do ya'll think of this move? Does he have a chance of unseating CAP, or is that not his "style" of running?

I see zero reason why he can't compete with Fozzy or CAP.

This is a fantastic move. I wrote about this in the other thread but Hood has a ton of talent. He was off and on hurt at UNC which really seemed to hurt his draft stock, further he came out in a loaded RB class when he really could have used an extra season in school. 

Throw in the fact that this guy is PS eligible and sign me up, his upside is that he could be our back of the future next to CMC.

A seventh-round pick in the 2017 draft, Hood spent most of his rookie year on the Raiders' practice squad. He did dress for one game but only played eight special teams snaps in a Week 8 loss at Buffalo.

More than that.

Easily could outcompete Fozzy; toe to toe with CAP

    • Seems to me that the Bucs have less fight in them now than they had in week 16. The real test is going to be if the Panthers can sustain focus and discipline throughout. With the Bucs being at home, maybe that gives them a little boost of confidence and energy.  Wouldn’t it be something if for ONCE the Panthers came out and dominated from the opening snap and just took this shook Bucs team to task?  If the Panthers see-saw form follows, we are in line for the W. Hard to say we have momentum but we do have a pretty clear pattern of following a loss with a win.  I’m going to say 24-16 Panthers!!
    • When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays 
    • 9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
