Trubriski Rolling

Trubiski came out on fire. I don't put much trust in preseason, but Sam better play good tonight. We could have gotten trubiski for a 6th rounder. I'm still on the Watson bandwagon either way unless Sam is somehow a top 5 qb which I highly doubt.

I'm convinced that is the backup plan (as soon as massage-gate settles down).

A name we should all be familiar with tried to kill Justin Fields... and just because it'll trigger some folks, Andre Smith is also a Tar Heel. LOL!

 

Knocked off his helmet and headband.  Damn.  They should check to make sure his socks are still on.

"Why isn't our QB playing multiple quarters in the preseason?"

Yeah, the value to risk was very good for Trubiski imho. I wanted him &/or Minshew. I'm hopeful for Darnold, but he wasn't who I wanted.

What I'm really hoping is that our defense grows to be good enough that our offense is set up in good positions - both in terms of field position and score - so that we don't have to lean on that side of the ball too heavily.

I think that's the direction our team is trending overall.

Honestly this is my concern. This isn't the same league as it was when the Brad Johnsons and Trent Dilfers if the world were winning Super Bowls. They keep tweaking the rules because they want high flying offense and that's what they're gonna get.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
