I guess everything is subject to change, but early on I believe Rhule already said he would not play his starters vs the Pats given the workload they will get in practice this upcoming week I believe. 

so if that is true.  I’d like to see Shi more at punt return specifically.  Know he an do KR. 

and I’d like the actual and proper starting OL and QB be determined and treated as such

Yeah, that would be nice. Almost as if it's a proven axiom that continuity on the O line matters in the NFL, and smart coaching staffs grasp this and act accordingly, so I'm sure it will not happen here.

I don't know who is going to play, but I'd like to see a clear separation between Sam and Baker. I think Baker is the better of the two, but I want to see it clearly with this team. Never mind Sam last season, that o-line was a poop storm. I want to see more of Sam with the 1st team o-line, and compare him to Baker.

I want to get a better look at Icky against speed rushers. Did we just draft a LG in the top 10? I want to see more of him.

I want to see if Corral still looks very small out there, and if that tight release is going to get batted down a lot. I want to see if he is improving his poor pocket awareness.

I want to see if Corbett can run block better and play with some fire and nastiness.

Shi Smith looked electrifying on special teams. Can he keep it up? Get him out there.

I don't want to see our poop CB Westry or whatever his name is.

I'd like to see Christensen at LT, but I know that would piss off the fan base.

I want to see the bottom of roster play better overall. Some of those guys looked terrible even though we we were not doing anything fancy.

My only thinking is that maybe Rhule knows the second team OL is so bad that he can’t trot a QB out behind that group because it won’t allow the offense to operate, so he has to mix and match.

On the other hand, if he does knows that group is so bad… why is he continuing to mix and match in practices when guys aren’t hit. It’s taking away reps from a valuable group that needs to build an identity together.

So… honestly, I don’t get it.

The bigger picture you should be concerned about is when we are now having to create these weird ass reasons why rhule is doing poo like this and even then it doesnt make sense.   I thought hiring some former head coaches and guys with experience would create the proverbial "adult in the room" experience but alas I was dead fuging wrong

I still don’t know why everyone thought hiring a college coach who lost to Liberty, UTSA, and Duke in a span of three weeks was going to be the savior of this football team.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
