Was Joe B(rady) even in the room?

For a guy with HC aspirations he wasn't in the picture much. 

They were limited on how many people were allowed in the room for covid. Im sure not many teams had coordinators or assistant coaches in their draft rooms. Top scouts and top front office guys

They were allowed, I think, ten people.

Obviously Rhule, Fitterer and Tepper were there. Other than them, I saw executive guys Matt Allen, Pat Stewart, Jeff Morrow and Samir Suleiman, scout Mike Martin, secondary coach Evan Cooper and the executive assistant lady who just retired (I forget her name).

It was Linda O'Hara who retired, she was the executive assistant to HC

It's probable they edited out any QB discussion, but it's also clear from the clips surrounding the acquisition of Sam Darnold that they a) bought into the age thing and b) compared him to the QBs coming out in the draft. They are all in on Darnold. Let's hope that was the right decision.

The other name you didn't see at all was Rashawn Slater...

it all is heavily edited to paint a specific picture.  Still cool.

But even take Rhule's board at the beginning.  He lists who they think likely drafted ahead of them....and then on the other side a cluster of guys they want to discuss.   But even that is edited and they don't show you everything said.  

and you know that because it cuts away from Rhule as he is in the process of writing the two Bama WRs....to a cut of him stepping away from the board.  They edited out something.   And you can pause it as he steps back and see he added something underneath the Bama WRs.  It's blurry though.  Can only guess.    It like the half second between the 6:22 and 6:23 mark.  But they added something.  2 more names? A thought.  Whatever it was, they didn't want it in the video.   But it was important enough to make the board...

definitely doesn't look like Slater though.

Good catch. The last one definitely looks like Fields.

Yeah but it looks like “fields /“ I have to assume after the “/“ is “jones”

 

I think they were planning their emergency picks or drops backs.

could be.  Trade downs in the first.  Fields/Jones.  First one could be the Ole Miss WR but spelled with an A?  They had both Bama WRs up there so they clearly were entertaining a WR in the first.  

But it sure does look like Fields.  Which matches the reporting.  People wanted him in the building. 

and it would make sense to edit that out to push the Sam is the dude narrative post draft.

But that makes no sense that they would blur it out if it was Fields.

 

I mean...this vid came out AFTER the draft was over and Sam wasn't exactly watching Panthers Confidential or what-have-you anyway as he was surely busy moving to Carolina.  

In fact, you can say that even if Sam did see they had Fields on their list, their decision to draft Horn basically cemented that he was THE GUY.

I mean, something was clearly deemed important enough to make the board and discussion...and they seem to have made a decision it wasn't something that should make the video.    Maybe Rhule thought he would add his Taco Bell lunch order in the section about first round picks.  Who knows. 

Could also just mean we really suck at corner and the new GM really values corner coming from the LOB/Seattle.

      Let Rod Walk

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      I wholeheartedly and respectfully disagree with wanting RBA gone.  It would be a huge mistake.

      Canes vs rags rd 2 game 6 7pm Thursday

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Rod wasn't on the ice for any of the goals the Canes scored or the ones we let the Rags score. Hockey is a cruel sport sometimes and I've said winning a Cup is probably the hardest championship to win in all the major sports; what with the salary cap in place, injuries that can and do happen to key players, teams/players that go on "heaters," and just plain damn puck luck. The Canes were the better team, but didn't perform and/or get much luck at all this series.  Refs were decidedly against the team (not saying this is why we lost the series, but it was obvious).  Games 2, 3 and 6 were winnable games for us and the guys didn't play up to the moment, they played nervous, scared, "not to lose hockey," and lost both of the OT games because of it and blew it tonight.  Game 1 was the only straight loss and unfortunately Freddie must have been wearing his Toronto undergarments tonight.  He deserves a lot of the blame tonight, but I can also say we had a couple of other guys that helped the collapse.  Orlov comes immediately to mind tonight and in one of the OT games when he just over skated a puck, to me he made (throughout the season) some of the most consistently dumbest plays I had ever seen out of the Canes defensive unit under RBA and Gleason. Losing absolutely sucks especially to this POS Rags team who can go fug each other, the refs, and the league officials who absolutely want them in the playoffs for as long as possible.  Trocheck can suck a fat cawk for his petty bullshit and I hope karma brings Trouba that broken neck he so richly deserves. All that being said, I don't believe RBA should be thrown under the bus AT ALL.  We could have won this series and there wasn't a specific decision he made that cost the team games.  The players didn't step up in the moments when they needed to, our PP was terrible all series, our PK was terrible in Games 1 and 2 and let us down in Game 6.  We tightened up in the OT games, our goalies were plain average or worse in 5 of 6 games with Freddy losing any sort of mental toughness tonight.  We rarely saw the Canes play the way they can play and when that happens in the playoffs say hello to the end of your season.  I've mentioned it before, but to win the Cup every one of those guys who laces em up and gets out there on the ice has to leave their blood, sweat, and tears out there every single night whether you are playing the Jr. Canes or fugging Rags.  There is no tomorrow, there is now and the Canes have not done that in the playoffs.  We've had tough breaks with injuries (Svech last year, Fast and Pesce this year, etc.), scoring issues, etc. but since I've been around the whole time the franchise has been in NC this iteration of the team has never shown some of the heart and grit that the teams did when they improbably went to the Stanley Cup finals vs. Detroit, won it all in 2006, and made the ECF in 2009 with overall less talent than we have now. I don't want RBA to go, he didn't lose any of these playoff series.  We can question his moves and in a few instances rightfully so, but I don't want to go back to where we were.  Daniels can go to Chicago, evaluate the roster, but this isn't an RBA issue and I don't think it's a Gleason coached D issue.  I think it's the players who have to understand an off night during the playoffs can't happen, play your game, don't overthink it, leave it all out on the ice, and take on the "us vs. the world" mentality.  Hell, the more I think about it the more this team may need a good sports psych. This series could have been 4-1 or 4-2 Canes, instead due to tightening up and nerves getting the best of the boys we lost 4-2.  It SUCKS, SUCKS, SUCKS, but no need with some of these crazy azz takes. and BTW I know we all want to attack us not getting an elite goalie, but 5 out of the last 7 Cup champions didn't have what I would call an "elite" goalie.  In most cases those teams had serviceable goalies who played up to the moment to win the Cup with their teams playing well in front of them.  The two Cups that the Lightning won with Vasilevskiy are the ones were I believe elite goaltending put them over the top. tl;dr:  This series loss isn't because of RBA, y'all are having knee-jerk reactions, our PLAYERS need to bring it when it's playoff time...they haven't, and sometimes the hockey gods aren't with you.
