Wow, if we ditched every player after a rough few games...  Eddy hasn't been right for about a month and it is obvious.  If he is indeed hurt, then I'll give him a pass.  His misses hasn't cost us a game yet, ALMOST, but not yet.  His miss yesterday wouldn't have mattered in the blow out loss.

If he didn’t outright cost us the first TB game, he surely deserved half the blame.

Why is he playing if he’s hurt? That’s either on the team for playing an injured kicker or on him for playing hurt and not disclosing the severity of his injury. Either way it’s not good for the team.

Sure any missed FG is a gut punch, but he had a walk off FG versus the Giants and was perfect in the Saints win.  So as of now, we bring in camp competition and go from there.  Last year he went through a few game slump, but got it together.  I don't think he's broken, just hurt and needs physical and mental rest, which comes after next Sunday.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
