Went to the Hall of Fame game in 95 between the Panthers and Jaguars with three of my friends.

We were the typical young male numbskulls who didn't plan anything, just hopped in a car and went.

By the end of the day, we were all thirsty, starving and had severe sunburns 😆

That is so cool, man. I have never been so excited for a preseason game. Even watching on TV, it was awesome!

One year ago, during the preseason, was when we all witnessed Rhule "coddling" Darnold and giving him hardly any reps.  We were all left wondering what we would get out of him once the season started.  You think Rhule will coddle Baker the same way as he's clearly emerging as the opening day starter?

...I went to that game also..... I grew up in Canton and had been living in CLT since 87 and wanted to get the taste of the Browns outta my mouff... Jumped on the Panther bandwagon then... Did you miss the Friday night festivities of bands, booze and booty?

It's funny how every nfl season starts and ends with worthless games.  (Hof game and pro bowl)

Jags and Raiders are probably the least interesting teams they could have picked. Not even really any interesting rookies to check out, maybe some random UDFA's will do something

Did you go to McKinley?  I went to Massillon.  I moved down here in 2004.  Went to training camp several years ago at Wofford and been hooked ever since.

When Tyrone Poole made his leaping interception, I jumped too 😄

Was also right there about ten or so feet away when Steve Isreal knocked down that final pass.

Nope. Just drove up the morning of the game and drove back after.

Did get to see the speeches.

Yup.... so im not accustomed to losing...but Massillon/Canton rivalry was awesome.... Think the browns should change their name to the Bulldogs...

Wonder if Carr/Adams will take the opening drive? There is that. 

I still think Trevor has similar appeal to a rookie QB. Given the mess Urban created last year made it all meaningless.  Plus, their other first round pick last year didn’t play last season because of injury.  I’m curious to see how Etienne’s speed looks on the NFL field.    So he basically is a rookie.

I agree!! They should give more respect to the Hall of Famers and make the first game of the season the actual Hall of Fame game.. instead of having to watch Scrubs!!

Tevor's not playing, Not sure about Carr. Adams is supposed to. Jarett Stidham vs CJ Beathard, actually both decent backups. I suppose both teams have new coaches but I doubt they show much as far as playbooks go

Bethard will not be playing.. he pulled his groin.. Looks like Luton for Jacksonville.. not sure who else they have as qb

    • No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.
    • Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.
    • I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
