Personally, I don't understand it. 

He doesn’t fit our scheme and he’s not a very good player he was undrafted for a reason

I know he was undrafted, but so is the dude that's supposedly taking his spot.  I hope our 'scheme' isn't to give up chunks of yards up the gut all season.

Good insight from Dunc. Didn’t recognize that he didn’t even start on Friday, so something clearly shifted. 
 

Granted, we’ve been told a million times not to put stock into that first “unofficial” depth chart because it wasn’t put together by the staff, so being surprised we cut a “starter” may be short sighted.

It seems odd that we may not end up 'needing' a traditional NT, but they sure did give it a look, didn't they?  Adjusting the scheme to the personnel at this point, I bet.  Was it we didn't need a hoss at NT all along or we couldn't find one worth keeping and are scheming accordingly?

I think it was the later.

I didn’t hear him say that. What he said was that it came down to fit and there were 2 guys on the roster who have played better than him and jumped him on the depth chart.

Wasn’t it stated that the defense wasn’t even playing most of Evero’s scheme and like the offense keeping things “vanilla”? 
 

preseason, new staff and player evaluation.

Looking at what has been shown/seen, this is the exact definition of having faith. 
 

Tho I know a lot of people don’t understand what’s happening this off-season so far. 
 

Im just hoping there is a lot us fans just don’t have insight into at this time.

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
