Ravens claimed him......no chance the panthers were behind the ravens on the chart is there?? ugh..

I'm assuming it would have went off of our record last week but even then when would have had the chance before them. fuging figures. Don't get why we wouldn't take a chance on him.

If I understand correctly, after week 3, waiver priority is based on current record/standings.  We were 3-2, Ravens 4-1 at the time of his release.  So we had to have not put in a waiver claim unless I missed us picking up someone else off waivers.  

I guess it's some consolation the dude hasn't reported to the Ravens for personal reasons, but I really don't see any reasons why we wouldn't have brought this guy in.

The team announced on Wednesday that Knight has refused to report to the team. Head coach John Harbaugh said at a Wednesday press conference that Knight did not report for personal reasons.

Not, vaccinated.  

I mean, the guy clearly seems to be doing things right to avoid infection since he was playing in Texas after all. As long as he could continue to follow the regulations I'd be fine with him personally. They are really strict on testing for unvaxed players from what I've read. I am curious what his reason was for not reporting to the Raven though.

Hear ya.

Over the course of the season seems likely the vaxx'd population of NFL players will have more trouble w/ Covid for the reasons you mention...

...namely, they are not subject to "doing things right to avoid infection".

We all seem to hate that other Dallas offensive lineman we picked up this year, right?

Maybe we shouldn't be so bothered by missing out on one they waived.

Main difference I've seen though is that I saw some Dallas fans not liking waving Knight and other being happy it gives him an opportunity to play elsewhere. I really didn't see those same sentiments for the other Dallas guy. But *shrugs* just kind of thought Fitterer might have tried to take a shot on him since he said he was exploring options for the OLine but no trades were available.

      Aiden Fisher

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I was watching the game last night (actually 330am) and they brought up that Aiden Fisher calls out the plays the other team is running.  This of course reminded me of Luke.  I haven't followed Indiana football at all but I wonder that the Huddle thinks of him as a future Panther Linebacker Aiden Fisher's pro prospects are promising, with a strong track record of performance and potential for success in the NFL. His ability to read the game and make plays with precision, combined with his leadership and physicality, make him a valuable asset to any defense. Fisher's development at Indiana and his selection as a first-team All-Big Ten linebacker in 2024 further solidify his status as a top prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft   Thoughts?

      Brandon Beane vs Dan Morgan

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      There is no doubt that winning on the field is the ultimate goal.  But not far behind that is winning off the field / in the board room / at the bank. Beane has been meticulous in betting on Josh Allen being able to put on the cape and taking a band of misfits to the playoffs every year.  That drives tickets, merch, concessions, TV shares, etc.  Which all put money into the owner's pockets.  The coach only controls what's on the field, and even then, it's mostly out of his hands minus time management as he doesn't throw, catch, run or kick for those 60 minutes.  My guess is Beane has made that owner a poo ton of money through contracts (or lack there of), and staying the course financially when it's easy to overspend to get over the hump.  That's why he's still there and McDermott isn't.  My guess is they will hire a non-splash candidate that commands middle of the pack money for a head coach, and Beane will once again point out to ownership how he saved them $4-$6M with this hire, and they still have Superman on their team.  New England has a first place schedule next year, and that's likely good for 2 additional losses, which would give them the same record as the Bills had this year. I knew McDermott was gone if they didn't reach the Superbowl.

      The coaching carousel

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I heard it was him showing up in NE for his ring of honor ceremony and talking about how great the organization was and the Titans ownership felt a certain way about that. They also fired/mutually parted ways with Mike Mularky after he got them to the playoffs. So making the playoffs as the Titans coach is the kiss of death. They've ran off the last 2 to achieve that lofty goal.
