With the way Chuba is playing I honestly don't even care.

Chuba is a good back, but he's not as dynamic as Brooks. I'm excited to see what Brooks can do behind the same line. Perhaps we can get some finishes peppered in with the chunk plays (meaning JB taking it to the house). That can be game changing.

Just to be clear, they have not yet actually activated him. That move is still to be made, though Coach Sunshine is optimistic about it being soon.

They seem like they have been extra careful and I am betting unless he has some kind of setback we will see him in a couple of weeks.

Honestly, just had a random thought, Chuba playing extremely well in the final year of his rookie contract...if Brooks does come back and we have the ability to, could we move Chuba to like Dallas for a decent pick?  It really would bum be out, I love Chuba, but imo, it depends on what the front office has planned in the offseason, if they're gonna work on a deal with hubbard, cool, if not (which I think is their intention), then he 100% has value to someone like dallas who swears their in their win now window but has no running game.

Tbh, all the people complaining about it being a wasted pick are ignoring how using it on Brooks was actually really a great plan for the long-term...  RBs usually tend to crap out shortly after their rookie contract is up, OR they sign for a mega deal and then go south so fast that the value is never there.  So, as much as I love Chuba and am proud of the player he has become, it's really smart to draft a rookie with this much potential as the contingency plan for the next 4 years...  it sets us up great if we can find a QB bc we'll have a potential superstar RB on a dirt cheap deal.  The way the modern NFL is - nobody wants to be on the hook for a well-earned second RB contract, so no matter how much we love Chuba, the smart move is to let him sign elsewhere when his contract is up (unless he gave us a huge sweetheart deal, but not many players are in the business of giving money away).

It's hard to judge a RB off one year behind a Texas O-line. My expectations are low. I think he could take Sanders reps but I don't see him overtaking Chubas workload anytime soon

That’s probably at least a year away. He hasn’t even had any live reps, this season will just be an introduction to the NFL and rep counts.

For a position you can fill with a 5th round draft pick lol. There must be some d-line/pass rusher available at that draft pick that would be an upgrade over what we've been watching

This 2025 draft is looking pretty decent at edge thus far.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
