Going to go ahead and start one of these.

 

Texas a&m vs OK State on now, no one major for us to keep an eye on in this game 

 

8pm Iowa vs USC- 2 of the top 4 OTs in this draft. (Tristan Wirfs for Iowa, Austin Jackson for USC).  Alaric Jackson, Iowa's LT is expected to be a rd 2-4 guy.  Some feel he is betyer suited at OH.  Iowa has a Monster DE who can play 3-4 DE or 4-3 DE, kind of like Calais Campbell.   AJ Epenesa is projected a top 15 guy.  All 3 of those guys should be considered by us.  USC has a big physical WR who has caught scouts eyes in Michael Pittman Jr (expected to be a mid round pick)

Wirfs- Iowa #74

Austin Jackson- USC  #73

AJ Epenesa #94- Iowa #94

Pittman Jr- USC #6

Alaric Jackson- Iowa #77

 

10pm Washington St vs Airforce: only real note to watch is Anthony Gordon.  This years Gardner Minshew.   Was Minshews backup last.  Like Minshew, Gordon was a backup.  Both similar players and similar talent.  Gordon is a name they expect to get hot after the season like Minshews did

I was watching Jamie Newman as maybe a second or third round prospect.  He had a decent game stats-wise, but the eye-ball test was just...meh.  A good read-option QB, but inconsistent in the passing game.  I thought he had a better deep ball arm too.  Not bad, but not great either.

He's only a redshirt Sophomore, so fully expect him to return to school.

I LOVE the idea of AJ Epenesa on this team dude fits perfectly for a 3-4 DE and hybrid defense like the New England's run.  But we REALLY need OL and DT help.  If we can address at least ome of these in FA. Id look hard at him in the draft.

 

Same time, Really love these 2 Iowa OTs.  Id take Wirfs at 8 in a heartbeat.  And if Alaric Jackson fell to the 3rd id jump all over him.

Wirfs looks legit. The game comes to him so easily that he almost looks lazy out there.

I just wonder if he can play LT. I'm not too excited about the idea of drafting a RT in the top 10. Then again, not having a RT (or an OC who could make in game adjustments) pretty much cost us SB50 so there's that to consider too.

He filled in at LT for a few games this season for Jackson.  He looked natural there and better than Jackson there.  But they moved him back to RT once Jackson came back.  Jackson has been the starter at LT for 3 years to note though, so maybe they feel he (Jackson) is better at LT than anywhere else.  Thus a way to keep their best OL all on the field.

Wirfs can play RT if Little pans out, if he doesn't Wirfs can be a Stud LT.

If Little and Wirfs become the OTs Moton can slide to OG (where everyone projected him coming out of the draft).  Also Moton will be going into the last year of his contract next year.

Honestly, I'd be fine with Wirfs and Moton at OT, figure out who would be better at OG between Little and Daley then have the other be a backup swing OT.

      "Keep Pounding"......

      By Jmac · Posted

      The motto means nothing if they lay down and submit to the opponent. One of the most embarrassing things I have seen from twenty years of being a fan.  Regardless if the lead seems to be insurmountable, you keep giving 110% untill the final second. Canales is definitely a Beta and it wasn't a good look at all. I wonder what the locker room was whispering about after that sh%t. I hope we never see this again and he actually grows a pair of balls. He needs to look in the mirror and understand that you just don't do that in the NFL. Maybe peewee football so kids don't get hurt. Throw the 3rd stringers in to run the play and finish the game wirh some some pride and don't bend the knee.

      Would you swap keeping Burns for Horn?

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      No but we should have kept both of them. People complaining about what he got paid can’t say much now because it’s absolutely worth it to get 15 sacks which we could desperately use, especially when you compare it to some of the free agents we have signed to try to replace that production (none of them have come close and we are wasting good money on them)

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      That period started rough but the canes stayed with it.  They will when this game 3-1 or 4-2 the way it’s going.
