I can say this about NC A & T--I was a professor at Gardner-Webb and the Aggies came to play us in Boiling Springs--put a beat down on us.  I was talking to a coach after the game (a week or so later) and he said it was the best coached team they played in a while.  Hats off.

I was a TE in college, but I coached offensive line in high school for about 5 seasons.  I was an English Teacher, so it got too demanding, so I had to phase it out.

Cool! I'm an English teacher too. I played Strong Safety in HS. I was too small to play beyond that. I could have played for a small religious school near my home town but chose to go somewhere else. I've sometimes dreamt about trying to coach kids at some level but with young kids I've always chosen not to lose the time with them but sometimes think I might try it once they are grown. I have girls so peewee league isn't an option either.

High School is very demanding.  Takes 20-30 hours each week.  I could not be a dad and coach and English teacher at the same time---one had to go.  So I drew straws....

So, which one of our better DE's are we trading now for a T, G, or C?

I'm not sure if there will be any OL available worth trading for. It's rare to get anyone at this point beyond a dice roll young guy and we already have 2 rookies for that plus Teck. I would expect to see a LB, FB, or DB if anything. Although I never expected a DL so who knows?

Has there ever been a larger interorganizational bromance in the NFL outside of Panthers-Bills? Across conferences too. A true love story.

We team crush on the Steelers too. ... Hats off to McDermott and Beane.

The only contrarian thing I'll say is this, why not just keep Efe Obada who could also pass rush from the interior??

Kind of like the deal of trying to replace Alex Armah with Ricci...

I have liked most of the moves Rhule/Fitterer have made, but those 2 stand out as question marks...

In the end this particular trade isn't really going to be anything more than a wash for Perryman who evidently wasn't a fit here and was expendable with the emergence of Carter & Luvu

Overall, there seems to have been a solid market for Darryl Johnson, and I'm loving having an aggressive GM.

Phil Snow has to be a happy man.  He has been given a lot of pieces to work with.  I'm excited about the defense b/c I think Snow has a chance to really do something innovative with the versatility of this defense... I'm thinking/hoping for something that takes the league by storm like Dom Capers did in 1996 (for those of us old enough to remember) where you never knew where the pressure was coming from...

“In on every deal”

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
