Replacing Aaron Donald.

 

Deserved?

In terms of skill yea but after the Dallas game he was the focus of the OL as no one else on our DL can do anything worth a poo. He still had respectable TFL but DL is about as weak as is possible for a professional team.

The only player on our entire defense that Offenses even care about, are scared of, or notice is Luke...can see it in the game replays but we have such utter weaknesses good teams focus laser like on those like Munnerlyn in the slot...any competent team just throws slants until they score on Capt.

My immediate response is the same as it was over 20 years ago when I was moving to Virginia and got within range of a DC-based sports radio station.  They were crowing about some QB named Gus Frerotte, who was apparently a combination of Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway, and a predecessor of Tom Brady.

My thought was that there must be two Gus Frerotte's, because the one I know of was not nearly as good as the one they were talking about.

Is there another KK Short somewhere that I missed?

Although, the Short I know of is closer to the Pro Bowl than the Frerotte I knew to the one they were talking about.

Gus Frerotte basically ended his nfl career by head butting a wall in celebration and causing damage to his c spine.

That is the one I knew of when I moved there.  I have no idea what happened to the other one they were talking about, because he was far too smart and composed to do something that stupid.

I'd add that Short never gave himself a concussion by head butting a wall.

And I never sacked KK in a peewee football game. Wow, that was forever ago. He was a whiny little boy then. 

  When I was back home 20 years later, my cousin was like “want to meet Gus”? I had been drinking and knew I couldn’t resist making fun of him so I just stayed away. All I could see was the “head butt”.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
