I thought this guy was just a throw in before. I remember when we had signed him, I think as a future contracts guy... Thought nothing of it, just another scrub to take up space for TC.

THEN, I saw him play in the pre-season game. When I first saw that ugly #66 on a defensive lineman, I thought, "Great, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel now, here come the bums."

This guy blew me away. He was all over the place making plays. He looked athletic and explosive, and on top of that he's pretty similar to Hardy in terms of their build. He really impressed me, and when I went to google him while I wrote this, I saw this article:

I know he was playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers, but he looked like a beast. I had no idea he was 29 either, it's unbelievable the way he looked the other night that he hasn't stuck with a team yet. He's also out of Florida State, so he has the pedigree. Maybe another late-bloomer, Al Wallace?

Well, playing line for the Noles is not exactly "pedigree."

You're right, but until we see how EB pans out I'll hold onto hope and speak of them highly... At the least their guys are big athletes, DLs, not so much. But, I'm hoping we got a couple of the good ones.

Cause we're keeping 5 DTs most likely and Norwood is a DE/OLB so we already have 5 DEs.

This may be true, but there's nothing to say he can't outperform and become one of these five. Plus Norwood could be lumped into our LB corps, as we're pretty depleted at this stage of the game.

I was wondering mainly if Zod had heard any "whispers" or something.

    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
    • Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
