I like Restrepo.  But he if he is your #1 and what your O is going through….I don’t call that a championship caliber O.  Thats not how  Championship caliber Os with good QBs are built. 

Hunter Renfrow was a legend.  But Hunter Renfrow was an accessory/role player.  
 

 

They don't have a number one, which imo could make them harder to defend.  4 guys with 20 plus catches is better than 1 guy with 60 or 70.  And most importantly, the run game is averaging 5 ypc or better even if you subtract Ward's scrambles/runs.  They can run and pass with the best of them.  

They just can't stop anyone (well anyone other than Florida) and while they have a good shot at being in the playoffs, they have very little chance of winning because of poor defense.

Agree, a good offense will run it up on them.  They will face a decent defense as well at some point.

Everyone runs it up on them. They've just had enough offense to carry them. But the elite teams are gonna have enough defense to get enough stops to win comfortably IMO. Ward and the offense will still put up points but not enough.

Restrepo is the guy though.  It’s him and then the rest.  He nearly has double the yardage and double the scores of any other WR you could name. 

I just think championship caliber defenses keep that O down…..and then anyone can put up points on that D (as you said).  Good D front is going to cause way more negative plays given the chances Miami essentially invites for everyone

Fhule cratered in the big game...

Rhule should never be in the NFL.

But he has shown the ability to turn college programs around.  Even with today's loss, Nebraska is off to its best start in a long time.  It will be interesting to see if he can bring the program back to a championship level if he sticks around for more than a couple of years.

Smart by Dabo though. Get those reserves some snaps. 

It helps him keep kids too.  Why his model works.  No one in college football plays more kids than Clemson.  Starters basically call it a day each week before the 4th starts.  He is always grooming his roster up each week. 

Hurts the scoreboard eyeball test and why his studs back in the day could never see a Heisman.  Think if Watson and Trevor hadn’t missed so much action they could have padded their stats more for that race.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
