To paraphrase, "We lost more games in the NFL because of poor technique, than poor scheme" was a really interesting comment.

 

He hits a lot of good points. He definitely covers one thing that I get annoyed that fans don't appreciate or realize. The idea of taking project players and molding them. As a professional athlete, that requires the motivation to go get better every day ON YOUR OWN. I saw that with what Horn was doing in the offseason. 

So when you bring in a guy and talk about how you are gonna develop him(especially a veteran), I already have a good idea you don't know what you are talking about. Sam Darnold is the most obvious example but we have had plenty of them.

You want guys that actively pursue getting better every day. Those guys will be much more successful.

Only reason you sawctgat with Horn is because his camp put it out there.

I wouldnt say Darnold is an obvious example and isnt motivated to get better. Pretty sure Darnold still trains with Jesse Palmer and Bills QB Josh Allen in the offseason.

This is a REALLY exceptional listen for the OL fans. 

big Smoove with his cigar killed it for me.  As pointed out, many highschool players watch the podcast.  Big Smoove should put the cigar down.  I know Cam smokes and he should do the same.  Good information though.

Great listen. I'm on OL fan. You can really tell the guys who work on technique vs the guys who rely on mass/athleticism. Good balance, leverage, and technique can overcome power and speed most of the time. That's why I love watching the big guys doing the footwork drills at the combine. You can really tell a lot in those few drills about how well some of these guys are going to do.

Not saying he isn't trying but there is only so far you can get when you start so low.

The cigar was great. Looked like a Padron 1964 or 1926.

      NFL Free Agency

      Rico is 0%. I think we would really like to have Mays back but we have a value in mind and aren't willing to overspend. I think someone probably will so I think the odds are pretty low but not zero.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
