Huge blow to their secondary 

Falcons DB Jeff Okudah was carted off the field Friday with an ankle injury.

Okudah went down in one-on-one drills Friday morning. The third overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Okudah — acquired by the Falcons in April — has managed to play just ten games in his first two seasons before playing 15 games in 2022. Okudah was a key addition to an Atlanta defense that ranked as one of the worst against the pass in 2022.

Only has 3 All pro selections, only 1 of those are 1st team. No where near HOF material.

He also was a 2010's All decade selection and only 15 sacks shy of getting 130 for his career (The magic number for HOF level career sacks). He's also one of, if not the, best run stopping defensive ends since he came into the league. 

He's closer to the HOF than you think.

Agreed. Is he a first ballot guy? No. Will he eventually go in? More than likely.

Also, regarding Trey Lance - A stat that blew my mind:

Tom Brady threw more passes last season (799) than Trey Lance has thrown in his HS, College, and Pro Career COMBINED (798).

 

It blew my mind watching the Niners trade so much value to take a guy that was so inexperienced.

We've seen teams draft guys you knew would bust in the top 3-5.  We've seen teams draft guys that everybody thought were sure-fire hits that high, and have them miss.  We've seen teams reach for guys in the top 5. 

What set this apart was that they traded up at a king's ransom price to do so to then reach for him.  Everybody knew he was going to take time to develop because of his inexperience, and there was no body of work to indicate he would develop, let alone pay off to the tune of what they paid to draft him.

I get it, he was "their guy," they believed they could mold him, and they didn't think he would stay on the board much longer, but sometimes getting "your guy" is the worst thing that can happen. 

People may think that trading up for Young was just as big a risk, but Young has a body of work to judge his potential by.  Lance was basically a "good guess."

Broncos site hating on Hackett:

Well, on Thursday, during the Hall of Fame game, Nathaniel Hackett and his Jets' offense put up 16 points, which I think is hilarious. Yes, it's the Hall of Fame game. It's just a preseason game, and most starters aren't even suiting up. There is absolutely no indication that the Jets scoring 16 points in this game is going to spill into the regular season.

However, it is kind of funny to see. In Hackett's first game post-Broncos, his offense couldn't score 20 points. I do think it would be quite funny to see the Jets struggle on offense like that in the regular season. Maybe Aaron Rodgers is indeed over the hump a bit. Maybe Nathaniel Hackett isn't the best play-caller in the world.

Only time will tell.

Stupid comment for a preseason game. Hope the Jets' O scorches the Broncos' D in week 5.

Yep.  Equating much of any offensive output in the Hall of Fame game with what will happen in the regular season is a useless exercise.  I'm not sold on the Jets and Rodgers, either, but assessing Hackett's play calling based on that game or even using it to validate his futile effort in Denver is, well, stupid.

It is about like us piling on The Process based on a lousy scrimmage in Lincoln, NE.  While I would like to pile on him, that wouldn't be the ammo I would use.

Definitely stupid considering the Jets didn't play any starters at skill positions......if at all on offense

      You're saying the same thing as I said.  Until Jordan becomes an active part of recruiting and funding, this school will continue to fall way behind.  But to say Michael Jordan or the Jordan brand doesn't matter anymore, which is what you said, is flat out wrong.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      I have not learnt my lesson and will always want Uber athletic profiles. Sorry, Im a whore about it.... Im not the right guy to defend Kenyon, I just have a understanding with this years draft, numbers, and panthers roster. He is more of "upside/project" and we are talking 19th pick here too.  I know about the years of all the mock drafts with TEs in them and I did want Pitts too.... Look I love the current TEs on the roster too, just this guy should be better than any of them at their best.  Right now I feel OT is the correct target, but panthers as a org are trying to win in 2026 than 2027. So tea leaves and all, Kenyon would help this year. You can even say flex him to slot for most of the snaps and think of tmac on smoke routes with Kenyon blocking for him. I just hate BY is the shooter..... warren, I would say he's the better prospect even without his rookie year, *but he was late bloomer like XL if Im right, plus age was 25ish?? Bears picked love above him, mainly cause of recs.  You can make a case that Kenyon is not a TE, but a moving weapon for offense that can be in the backfield, on the LOS, slot, and even X.... imean he's got XLs combine on some numbers.... He would be better to a offense mad scientist type...is that Dave? or is that bevell?? I think the Panthers should have him as a 19 pick, with others...

      That's one of the best power play games I've seen us have in a while.
