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.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
