Finally another Big MLB and stop with these Midgets in the Middle..

So he's a MLB. I was wondering whether he was an ILB or OLB. Thank you for clearing that up. I'm not able to watch the draft. I just got/saw a notice on my phone and saying Panthers draft  LB from Penn State via trade.

I'm not convinced.  I'm wondering if they want him to play the Thomas Davis role here.

He can play all positions but Smith himself said he expects to play OLB.

He reminds me a lot of Manny Lawson. Their versatility, speed, athleticism, aggressiveness, etc.

Putting their tape beside each other and the players almost looks identical. For Smith it’s just going to be about development and consistency.

His issue is processing.  However, a 5 star recruit who probably was always able to get by on his athleticism (like Cam) so his processing is not as developed as someone who needs it to compete.

Not Luke Kuechly, then...but who is?

(besides Luke Kuechly)

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
