I think Wilks has been told he has the job. (Speculation)

You lost me at Burns struggles when the ball is run at his side. All their big runs to the outside yesterday were to the opposite side. Burns is pretty good at setting the edge when that’s his assignment, and usually when the ball gets run at his side and posters around here throw up their fingers and scream SEE HES BAD AT RUN DEFENSE it’s because it was obviously a stunt or his assignment was to rush wide or something like that.  That’s what defensive play calling is, just cuz a player lines up in the same spot doesn’t mean the same gap or area is their responsibility every time.  

 

I always wonder when folks call out Burns run D whether it's because they hear others say it, or are they just missing how the play was run? He is criminally undervalued on this board. And I think it's all because he doesn't have enough sacks.

That’s exactly it. It was a legit criticism his rookie year and never since but people keep parroting the rhetoric cuz it fits their narrative.

I mean, we've been a pretty bad lately, so I guess we should expect some harping. But man, this is a young and talented team. Sure there are flaws, but most teams have some. But if you went by the Panthers by just reading the Huddle. You would think we are lucky to still be in the league. lol

Biggest take from yesterdays game for me is that Burns is NOT worth what we will probably end up paying him. He is strictly a pretty good pass rusher who gets over-whelmed in the run game. 
 

Oh, and why the heck is YGM still getting snaps? He literally gives up the edge on every play that goes his way.

All of that is true except for the assurance thing. I do not think he was guaranteed anything other than if he did an incredible job he would get an interview.  

My exact feelings. I don't think Tepper will commit to anything until well after the season is over and all the checks, balances and interviews pertaining to possible head coaches have been thoroughly evaluated.

Thats the problem is it wont be 3 years, we will get in the hamster wheel of mediocrity and he will over stay his time here a la foxy and ron.  He will win just enough to make it hard to fire him.  I would rather roll the dice on a new product instead of a known commodity. 

I really double he has that much success.

Sunday we ran into an opposing coach who can spot weaknesses and tendencies and can then game plan for them. 

Our coach, Steve Wilks, had done everything he could to cover those weaknesses, but at this point in the season with all of the injuries and the personnel we've had to work with, he just couldn't stop the Steelers. No adjustments were made because there were none that could be made. The cupboard is just that bare.

Is Wilks going to be our next HC? I don't know. On the one hand it looks like he can't get the team ready, on the other it looks like he's made something here out of the scraps he was left with. Maybe with an offseason, his own coaching staff picks and a good draft, he can make something happen here. Or maybe this is it for him.

Too early to tell, still. Let the games play out. We're not dead in the water yet, somehow. Maybe he can get this organization to limp its way into the playoffs.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
