CJ Henderson

A much better bet, and an exponentially better deal than Darnold. That (and the Baker trade) is how you work the system. Wait until after he shows well during 2022, and then exercise that 5th year option in 2023.

Let’s not even discuss 5th year options yet. I get PTSD even talking about them this early.

Dude just finished year 2 and aside from DJ, our WRs are below/well below average in the NFL. Hopefully, they improve off of 2021 but even that highlight above looked more like a bad throw or bad route. RA has him easily beat off the line but the ball and route go back to CJ. If that throw/route goes toward the sideline where RA had a good step on him, it’s an easy first down or more.

Henderson has reportedly been doing well the entire camp though, so much so that even 89 gave him some props.

Good closeout by CJ, but why did they go for the jump ball pass when Robbie had him beat with good separation?

Potentially a high point rep? Hard to say without knowing if there was a specific point to this rep.

Wilks found what he needed to get him out of his shell. Speaks volumes about Wilks tbh. 

Wilks took him out to dinner when they first got back. Doubt that happened in Jacksonville, sounds like he was caught off guard with a coach treating him like a human being

TMJ was tearing poo up last year, right? Did CJ get beat off the line in that highlight and did that look like a great route and throw to you? Be honest.

Well that's kind of the point. It's only one play of many. He got beat, but he closed well, and honestly even if the ball was placed to the outside, Robbie is probably headed out of bounds even after the completion. Robbie may have been initially looking for Baker to come back to the inside, I don't know, but I think that a better camera angle would give us a better perspective.

Crazy how these types of interactions are somehow shocking in this day. Wilks is old school, courtesy, treating people like you want to be treated. Just being a decent human being. It goes a long way today, simply because it's a scarce interaction or event.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
