Dumb comparison.

You do you.

Personally my opinion of "dumb" (insightful criticism, btw)  is buying into whatever a team rep says publicly when asked  about specific individual players and their future with the team.  Especially when we don't even know the basic details about our 2020 Defense.  What was Rhule supposed to say when asked for public comment about Carter?  "No, we think he sucks."  " Not one of my guys."  "Pretty much a camp body"."

As an Arkansas State fan and season ticket holder, I stopped by to see how you guys were feeling about the Omar Bayless signing. I'm no scout, but I can assure you he didn't fall out of the draft due to attitude problems, off the field issues or a lack of work ethic. He's one of the more humble players I've seen come through our university. 

I think he fell due to his 40 time and only having one year of big production. His numbers in 2019 were ridiculous despite the fact he was working with two inexperienced quarterbacks that had a total of 24 completions combined going into the season. 

You guys are going to love him.

If all the internet info drops on players tied to the Panthers are accurate and they all proceed to get UDFA contract, my last count was 17.  Room for 2 more, BUT veteran cuts are already starting.  The Seahawks just cut two of their starting OL from last season.  Expect a wave of cuts this week.  No immediate need to get all the way to 90.

My dark horse is Frederick Mauigoa. 

Mine too.  Here's why: if Paradis looks like crap again this year, we can ditch him.  At that point, it's not an anomaly...a bad year, he just sucks.  Larsen is, and has never been, anything but a backup, period.  He's not being groomed to be 'the guy' some day.  Who's takes over for Paradis if we decide to jettison him then?  Mauigoa has that potential.  Before we traded Allen to the Ronskins, I used one of those 5ths to consistently mock a center.  My guy was Keith Ismael from SDSU, but it didn't work out.

The Baylor center retiring but coming out of retirement to play for Rhule might be a good surprise also

It almost feels orchestrated. He was expected to be a UDFA, but possibly a late round pick. Then he decides to call it quits with football and immediately after the draft has a change of heart? I'm not saying he planned this, but it's a well known reality that once you get very late in the draft some guys are actually hoping to go undrafted at that point in order to pick their own landing spot.

Yep.

Might be why we did not draft a guy to play C late in the draft.  Ace up our sleeve

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
