Bryce Young’s passing line is set at 199.5 on the site I use…

Christ is that tempting even when factoring in last year 

I save my delusional optimism for other teams.  That’s an easy bet.  Take the under. 

he was below his average last year vs the Saints. They know his flaws as good as any team and slammed full of savy vets.

Saints fan here. I’m not an expert on the 2024 version of the Panthers by any stretch so I’ll leave that for others to post about. This year’s Saints team has big question marks at right tackle and left guard and at the No. 3 WR position, which seems to be a battle between Cedric Wilson and AT Perry. My hopes rest on the new offensive staff led by Klint Kubiak and Rick Dennison and their ability to do the best possible job at protecting the QB through scheme even with a weak O-line. Carr has said he likes and has long been an admirer of this run- and misdirection-heavy scheme, that forces him to get rid of the ball quicker and overall makes decision-making easier on him.  I’m also excited about the prospects of Kamara and Taysom Hill in the backfield at the same time. Kubiak is really our only offensive addition this year, besides first round left tackle Fuaga, and that’s who we are going all in on IMO. I’ll add that Pete Carmichael was maybe the worst and least creative play callers in the league the past few years, with a scarce amount of pre-snap motion in his scheme. 
As for the defense, I actually feel good about our pass rush with Granderson, Chase Young and Cam Jordan. We are stacked at linebacker too with the addition of Willie Gay. Feel real good about our three top corners as well.  The one possible issue is at safety opposite the Honey Badger. Second-year player Jordan Howden has yet to stand out stepping into the role manned by Marcus Maye the past few seasons.

Nice write up and post. Hoping both teams have an injury free game and everyone stays healthy but I wouldn’t mind if a few of your guys had to stop and tie their shoes during a play or 12.  

Thanks for the detail.

I’ll add that Gay missed practice today, and it was injury related so we’ll have to see on Wednesday how serious it is and whether or not he’s going to miss any games with this mystery affliction.

I’m sure Chase Young will have a good game before he disappears into obscurity for the rest of the year.

Over/under at 199 for Young seems like easy money. I’m not a gambling man but if I was I’d sure as hell take the over on that. 

He’s looked like a beast in camp so far. Last year he was dealing with the neck injury that he had repaired over the offseason.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
