Chris Tabor has done a hell of a job transforming the special teams unit. Glad that Reich decided to retain him (and Campen for that matter).

Give Tepper credit for encouraging their retention by the new staff. Both are outstanding coaches.

With ST I can tell he has a passion for it but he actually flashed more than a couple of times last season at safety. 

So much so that I remember switching from "he's only here due to Rhule's nepotism" to "Damn he's starting to push for starter play". 

I actually forgot about him until I saw that clip. As-is he was starting to put it together. Another offseason like he had last season and he may contribute more than most expect. Although, he's behind on the depth chart I do hear our DC likes to utilize more than a couple safeties sometimes. 

At worst, him and Jammie Robinson should be pretty entertaining to watch on ST coverage together.

That 2nd play was impressive. Need all of our guys to play with that type of heart and we'll be going places sooner rather than later

He did get the flag for throwing the returner to the ground out of bounds which cancelled out the holding call, but I love the energy anyway!

Yeah most everyone on these boards.  I wish we could stick to merit-based evaluations rather than "Rhule's nepo-baby"..."Rhule's wife's favorite player"..."New York Jets reject" (Luvu)...etc.  It must suck to have your reputation be stained by something that you had no control over.

He was one of the first guys we re-signed this offseason. The few times he's come in at safety, he didn't look like an obvious weakness. Good guy to have on the team.

Signing a ST player is like dating an ugly girl. They know they have to try harder if they want to stick around.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
