When I was in graduate school in the early 90s, i worked in the sports department as an agate clerk.  Remember that data on page 2 that featured lake levels and betting odds?  Anyway, I worked with Tom Sorenson, Rick Bonnell, David Poole, Ron Green, and a few other guys.  The sports dept got to work at 4pm and worked through midnight.  So we had the entire news room to ourselves.  You never see the paper the same way once you get to know these guys--

Ok, I'm back.  What was the subject?

In Chrome, right click the article you want to read in non-incognito mode to bring up the context menu.  Select "open window in incognito window" in that menu.  That will get you past the pay wall.  To read the next article, close that incognito window back to non-incognito and start over.  Don't refresh any page in either mode. 

Alternatively, if you have Apple News+, then you can view the articles there without issues.

used to subscribe for yrs...it’s $400 a year now!

I do pay for digital....their sports writers are actually pretty good for the most part

fowler not not fav, but every now and them he hits home runs...his series on Rae curruth was great, and his recent article on his friend that coached in Lincolnton was outstanding 

and Bonnell is in the know on the hornets

I read Sorensen, but even he got out there at times

i miss Ron Green & Tom Higgins

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.

      I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.

      Well you have year 2 of the new scheme so several players should be more comfortable.   Vs last year DL we added Robinson to play DE giving Brown a solid presence on the other side, plus he is familiar with Evero (I don't like Shy at NT but he was there last year too)  LB- Clowney and Wonnum are more complete/probably better than Burns and YGM, Jewell and Shaq are better than Luvu and whatever random guy from the streets we had playing last and again Jewell is familiar with Evero CB- This is a big red flag but vs last year we kept Hill at slot, we lost Henderson and replaced him with Jackson which seems like a wash to me.  If we can sign Gilly I will consider this upgraded but as of now it's a weakness and a wash Safety- Fuller replaces Bell as an upgrade who is also familiar with Evero.  I think we signed another vet in Scott as depth   Depth is still an issue no doubt but it looks slightly better on paper than last year IMO...
