Trevin Wallace funny story

Love that Trevin Wallace will keep the green dot and communicate the play calls. I’m really high on his potential. This from Joe P is really funny:

”Say what?

When Thompson and Josey Jewell (groin and hamstring) both left the Bengals’ game with injuries, it left rookie Trevin Wallace as the linebacker responsible for getting the scheme call from the sideline (via a helmet transmitter) and communicating it to the defense. That process was slowed a bit by Wallace’s south Georgia accent.

Well, not just the accent. Woods said there were other contributing factors that made understanding Wallace difficult.

“We gave him hell about that. Because not only does he have an accent — like me, I have a little bit of a lisp, I’m from the South and I used to wear Invisalign,” said Woods, a Louisiana native. “Trevin has an accent, and he wears Invisalign and he was tired and he was breathing hard. So that was tough.

“But we talked about it, we joked about it. We were just like, ‘Trevin, you’ve gotta slow down a little bit.’ We didn’t miss any calls, but it was different.”

Wallace will have time to work on getting the calls out more cleanly: With Jewell expected to miss at least this week, Woods said the third-round pick from Kentucky will continue to wear the “green dot” on his helmet.”

Young man did a great job for his first real action, the future is bright for him as Shaq's replacement in the middle.  

Generally speaking he has actually played quite poorly. But, he's also very much one of our "project" players that is being forced into action. 

It's a good opportunity for him gain a ton of experience and reps while not really hurting us much due to the historically bad nature of our defense overall.

He was thrown into the game last week. This week will be interesting to see how he does with proper prep. Could show up pretty well given we’re playing a Shane Waldron offense and he’s got great sideline to sideline quickness. If that’s the case, I would caution not to overreact. Looking at the schedule, he could start hot and then cool. 

Enjoyed what I heard this offseason though, was a pick I was big on. Lots of guys liked him as the Lb3/4 in the draft even though many here were a bit “who is this’d” by the pick.

We really need some of our draft picks to land, especially on defense. I hope his play can improve, the unit as a whole didn't look too great against the Bengals.

I doubt there will be much improvement for the defensive unit. But, if individual players can improve(Wallace being one) then I think it will be about as successful as it can be. 

I suspect these lumps are gonna keep coming on D. It's just the side effect of having this little talent.

He's going to show his potential but he'll also make rookie  mistakes.  We need to be patient with him

Precisely. Same with XL and Sanders right now. Gotta give them a moment to breathe and let them settle into the roles.

Will have ups and downs. Especially with Trevin, as every position is dependent and our defense is depleted. Now he’s getting the calls and in the center of it all.

I liked the pick after looking at him and doing some reading. Stuff like being a team captain carries some weight too (he was, in college). Accountable. 

He seems smart. This is the best thing for him really.

It was obvious that he was exhausted. It really does take a few games to get into "game shape." Practice doesn't get you there if you're an every down starter.

CBA protects them from being driven hard and really shows in the game.

Shaq going down sucks b/c he was playing really well, but I'm 100% onboard with letting Wallace start going forward.

The goal for the defense should be to try to improve & compete in spite of the injuries, but also with an eye towards next season.

I'm hopeful Canales can do much of what John Fox did in his 1st 2 seasons, but in reverse.

2002: Drafted Julius Peppers, rebuilt the defense

2003: Signed Jake Delhomme & Stephen Davis to complete the rebuild of the offense

Not saying we're going to be in the SB next year, but I think with how well the offensive rebuild has went, we should be in playoff contention next season if we're able to make the necessary improvements on defense through the draft & FA

      So you think that the play is solely Bryce's fault and that all 31 other QBs turn that play into a passing TD in spite of an incorrect route from WR1, immediate blindside pressure, a lazy route on the opposite side, and WR2 not on the same page as the QB? That's a lot of oversimplification just to be able to blame one player.

      Is Tepper going to clean the house again after this season?

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      The thing with cleaning house… who the hell wants to actually work for Tepper?! What good coach with options would take that gig? There are literally 31  better teams to work for…. This is the WORST place for a coach to work… and it’s not even close. Auto-firing staff after 1-2 years will only make things worse.  If candidates know they are going to be auto-fired when being dumped in to an impossible situation, then why even apply? Tepp has to show candidates that he’s calmed the f down. The best thing is for him to not make any major franchise decisions for a while.  Just imagine where we would be right now with Wilks, Darnold, Foreman, Luvu, Moore,  the king’s ransom they were offered for Burns and the picks they traded away for Young… tell me with a straight face that blowing all of that up was the right move compared to where we are today. Wilks and Darnold were bridges to a better place.  My point being, EVERY major franchise decision from Tepp has been a disaster. He blows everything up, even if it shows signs of potential. He has refused to hire a ‘my way or no way’ type coach with proven NFL success.  I promise you he doesn’t have a friend in the entire building.  besides changing out Evero who has been given years to make it work, this is the best case scenario for the foreseeable future until the next draft. I don’t think Canales is the right coach for the job, but tying him to Young isn’t fair. He deserves at least another season with his own guy that he chooses.

      Yeah, he did. But what absolutely killed any chance of success is that our QB panicked and sailed the ball through the endzone uncatchable. That's why the focus is on that. Why do we need to do all these mental gymnastics to keep trying to come up with excuses to cover for the worst starting QB in the NFL over the past three years? What else do we kneed to see from him to admit he ain't ir? You don't trade up to #1 overall to draft a QB that needs everything to go perfectly to succeed. You're doing that because you think you're drafting a guy who can carry an offense.
