Not really.  And it feels like all of the rookies should make it except maybe Fletcher.  Might be some slight grumbling if Hoskins or Nixon are let go.  I really hope we hang onto them all, again, outside of whoever wins the Fletcher/Jansen battle, I would be disappointed if we let one of them go bc they all had moments.

Bayless seemed like he was on his way to being a camp star, but whether it was poor reporting or him just falling off, he just didn't seem to sustain the momentum.  Shi Smith should be a lock after RA, DJ, TMJ, and D. Moore, and I think after them the last spot goes to either Saunders or Zylstra.  

Yeah, the more I type, the more I realize we already seem to have a good grasp on who makes it and/or are less invested because the reporting was so sparse in TC, so I'll stop now.😂

I know in the Hurney days draft picks for the most part were always apart of the 53.  Hurney never wanted to admit he was wrong about a player.

Well, I learned something today. There was a guy named "Aaron Monteiro" in the NFL and evidently he was on the Panthers' roster.

Camp video kept popping up of him getting absolutely toasted at LT and RT. It looked like my old ass out there trying to block Burns and Reddick.

That's fair.

He you go, from August 4th. Even then we were calling him a 'camp body'.

 

Ha yeah sorry, I was just trying to be “witty” or something. I was aware of Monteiro cause he got a lot of playing time in the first preseason game and IIRC, he graded out really well in run blocking that game. Pass blocking, clearly not so much…

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
