Me neither--Bold statement of the day:  Luvu will make us not miss Reddick much.  He is more versatile, imo and much cheaper.

Riddick has been MIA since mid season last year. He's another one trick pony that is a LB pretending to be a DE.  But he's fast so there's that.

Carter sucked. He was often out of position. 

Luvu was a decent move but I feel like he was the beneficiary of circumstance more than an actual difference maker. Like he didn't get a ton of playing time on defense but he made the most of what he did get. So hopefully if he gets more time he can continue that success, but it could be a gamble.

Great special teams player though. 

It is a gamble, but not as much as signing a high-priced free agent coming off a great year.  I see your point and you are not wrong.

Yep.

Amazing we didn’t overpay. Good deal here so how did we not manage to get Thomas to a good value deal? I think Gonzalez had a much bigger impact for us than Thomas did last year. If Tremble played all of Thomas’ snaps, we would not have lost a step. If Gonzalez got hurt, we likely would have suffered.

Yeah, didnt' this guy account for something close to 100% of the offense last year?

Carter had potential, he played well as a back up but this year he sucked. Good back up, that’s it. I know Luvu had great PFF scores and did well but only in limited time. Would he be as good if he was full time or is he only a good situational player?

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
