Stokke will beat out Mikey Daniel at FB. (If we keep one and don’t just use Tremble). Moore has a shot but likely Practice Squad. Fisher has a better shot than Moore would probably have to beat out Orr or Johnston for one of the lower depth roles.

Charleton has 2 years left on his contract.

The whole draft and free agency is so refreshing. No more Rivera playing the vets/Hurney drafting projects, gonna be like hunger games in training camp

And you saw last year Rhule had no problem playing the undrafted guys over the drafted ones like Trent Scott over Greg Little, Myles Hartfield over Corn Elder, etc. when he thought warranted.

I love it, and it's necessary for building the culture Rhule wants here

Being able to use Tremble as our FB/H-Back would be huge. Gives us another slot on the roster, basically.

Deonte is pretty poor in pass protection. Mauler as a run blocker though. Quick guys are probably always going to bother him but he can be a brute in the run game.

Weird about being poor in pass pro considering  I also read that he did not give up a sack in around 900 career pass snaps

The entire Bama line was good, that does not necessarily mean that each piece will fare well in the NFL.  Intuitively, how well do you think a person at 365 pounds moves?  Run blocking, sure, he's a beast...but he slid due to concerns of keep up with the athletes on NFL D-lines.

I can understand the slide due to weight and character concerns. But poor pass pro doesn’t really apply when you’ve given up 0 sacks in 865 pass pro chances. Other people on that line gave up sacks. It’s a lazy assumption to say fat guy=poor pass blocker

I guess NFL scouts are lazy then and no, I'm not talking about myself.  Making an assumption just off a stat line is even more lazy.  Let's walk through this.  Brown was regarded as one of the top OGs all season and leading up to the Senior Bowl.  I would have to look back, but top three, IIRC.  Then the senior Bowl happens when individuals are graded by NFL scouts, GMs, coaches based on how they measure up versus other top prospects.  Brown looked bad, not just fat, but lost reps consistently.  His draft stock starts to plummet.  If we didn't draft him, how much further would he have fallen?  Seventh round?  Possibly undrafted? 

Again, Bama is stacked and the reason they are top 1 or 2 every year.  Having blue chippers top to bottom on the roster with Nick Saban as your coach will make some people seem better than they really are.

That said, I didn't mind taking him in the 6th. Why not?  We needed a guard and maybe he can lose weight, improve his mobility and be coached up on pass pro.  It was a low risk/potential reward pick so late in the draft.  However, he was anything from a steal.

Looks like QB Peyton Ramsey signed with the Panthers. 

 

 

Yep.

Based on what I've been told by several huddlers before, this is a clear sign that the staff doesn't really believe in Sam Darnold and they only picked him up just in case they couldn't get someone better 😐

      Albert Breer talks about Dave Canales

      By Basbear · Posted

      Very Odd, seems someone is lying about the "love" between Seattle and canales.  I did read some about B.johnson and he said he wanted a stable good job and that 5 out 8 teams that filled this past season, will be open again in three years. I somewhat get his point, but he's lost millions the past two years waiting. Plus great job are never open cause great team don't fire their HCs. He put lots of time and sweat into the lions and wanted to enjoy the good times longer.    I do think tepper made other coaches not want to be here. That all-star staff had as you stated had connections around the league and coaches are no different when someone contracts them and goes " How was it Carolina ??'.... " Love the area, hated the work environment/owner". They did get Brian Callahan to interview and had a 2nd one lined up, but in just one interview titans hired him. I'd much rather had him or just name evero HC instead.  Nobody wanted Ron Rivera either and he interviewed everywhere. No one wants this job..... even the jags got recent SB winning Doug Peterson.... I truly think Carolina coaching rep is in the dump and they fuged up waiting for Callahan. Panic move. This is my pure guess too, Jim Caldwell is the acting/real HC and canales is the OC.

      I go back to the hole the Panthers put themselves in and his positive track record with getting production from ‘problem’ QBs. Which, we have one.  I go to the idea people were putting forth on these younger HC prospects - that maybe you take a guy early and let him grow and give him all the help you can. Like a QB go figure. I think that is pretty much where it is right now. I think Canales could be good.

      It's like with Friterer was the same as Canales. 'He's a great guy' and everyone loves him but Seattle had a HC opening with ties and no interview, even with a playoff appearance in a weak NFCS to boost his name. The NFL is all about ties and connections. It's so much more a small pond than most sectors could be so the corporate NFL bs is sooooo much thicker. All of those openings and no HC interviews? B Johnson is an anomaly, like a Kiffin, where usually you have guys that will go whereever to take a promotion even if it looks terrible for a distance, Wilks to Arizona comes to mind. It's weird and interesting how the NFL mirrors and then deviates from the rest of corporate America in their MOs.
