Haynes originally committed to UNC to play football but wasn’t admitted due to red flags regarding his grades. Which is weird because the local media and ABCers have pushed a fake news narrative that Carolina doesn’t have any academic integrity, which anyone with a brain knows is untrue. 

Big surprise he ended up at Ole Miss. would love to see him step up this year. 

No, they have it right.  Its documented that Carolina has ZERO academic integrity when it comes to its athletics department.  Well, football and basketball anyways.  Its okay, they are just like every other major college program out there.  They cheat on grades and they pay all their players.  Such is life in NCAA athletics in 2019.

Haynes still has one big hole. He played awesome last night, but that first Chicago TD was a run right over him. He looked great on the two run stops early where he was going around the edge and chasing the RB down, but the run right at him was an easy TD. There was no defender on the end because the pulling guard just smacked him out of the way. Either he didn’t recognize the pulling or he is still not strong or big enough to engage that guard and at least slow the RB down. The RB was basically going full speed around the LT and the secondary had no chance. 

The issue was Haynes tried using his shoulder to engage the blocker. If he would've used his hands instead of his shoulder, he could've shed the block

I doubt we are showing anything interesting about our new defense in preseason.

Exactly! That is what makes this season so interesting. They are going to be very vanilla which is perfectly fine by me. We haven't had any surprises with our schemes in a while especially on defense so this will be fun. Even though I am slightly worried about our run defense I am still excited to see how it plays out.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
