Big praise for our UDFA rookie safety, he had a great game today and looks like another great hybrid SS/linebacker. Give this defense two more years with good coaching along with plugging up our linebacker core plus another DT/CB and we’re legit. This team is young and talented I’m super impressed by this team this year!

I'm going to put this out there now.  We'll be in the hunt next season for a wildcard playoff spot.    These games we lose this year, we'll win next year.

Yeah, he's a baller. 

If certain spots on our defense were even halfway decent, we'd be easily winning these games.  It just sucks, bc we have a couple bright spots, really bright- Burns, Brown, Chinn, Franklin, YGM, and maybe Douglas and Carter, but the rest of this defense you could pretty much throw in a trash can.  The secondary and front 7 outside of the guys listed are likely the absolute worst in the NFL.  The only reason we aren't ranked dead last is bc Snow is literally dropping 8 into coverage 90% of the game just to slow them down and eat up clock.  This is the worst 4 or 5 weeks stretch of defense I can ever remember having.  I think we've forced 2 punts in 5 weeks lol.

Definitely enjoyed watching Franklin the past few weeks. Still rough around the edges, but he is certainly exceeding expectations. He has had more flashes of promise than I expected for an UDFA and think he can be part of the rotation. 

I wonder if when Burris and Chinn return, if we would kick 52 to the bench and move Shaq inside, with Chinn and Franklin moving around, and Burris/Boston on the backend.... or maybe the plan is for Franklin to be paired with Burris, and move on from Boston. 

So many options...but glad Franklin is making the most of his opportunity.

      I love T-mac but where is the impact from this year's draft?

      Jalon Walker not looking like a bust? That can't be right.

      To be fair. Our GM is the assistent of the worst GM in NFL history.  We pay trillions of dollars on the Oline and cant pass protect or run.  We pay trllions of dollars on the D-dine and cant pass rush.  We cant draft. We are a bad team. With a bad owner and really bad management.

      Stud: WR Tetairoa McMillan In the midst of all the incompetence and mediocrity, there's one shining hope for the future of this franchise. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the team with six catches and 100 receiving yards. He also had an extremely impressive one-handed catch wiped out becaue he couldn't quite stay in-bounds. McMillan is a bit slower, but there are flashes of some Julio Jones in his game. His route running and YAC ability are both far better than they were advertised coming out of the draft.   Or, you know, exactly what anyone who watched enough of his tape would have known.   Honestly, our Arizona board could never understand this knock on him in the pre-draft process, because we all knew it wasn't true.  And sure, we're fans who watched all his games, but you'd think the experts who supposedly watch all the snaps of these type of prospects would have been seeing it too, it was glaringly obvious to us. Seriously, how many times did I say here that he could run every route needed?  How many times did I talk about his surprisingly good run after catch ability for someone his size?  How he wasn't a burner, but he was amazingly smooth for a 6'5" WR? As I've said, only 2 players from Arizona, both football and basketball, have I ever felt they were 1 million percent can't miss stars in the pros.  T-Mac and Gronkowski, that's it.  One is the greatest TE in NFL history, the other is about to take Smitty's mantle as the Panthers WR GOAT when all is said and done.
