This week I didn't see the game but I will do my best.

Stock on the Rise

James Anderson- The rest of the league has to be asking who is this guy. He is FIFTH in the league in tackles. I hear he dropped two interceptions, but I can live with that. I'm essactic that he was in positions anyway, and his one interception from earlier in the year was nice. I always knew he was good but I didn't think he could go at this pace.

Charles Godfrey- Oh Yeah! He is the league leader in interceptions, and he has learned how to tackle physical. I thought he was too weak physically to tackle the way he has been, but I was wrong. CRA even said, "Yeah he had one good game, but two terrible others like always." Well that is an improvement since before Godfrey just sucked and never had any good games.

Derek Landri- I wanted to mention this guy last week, but since we don't have many risers I can mention this guy. Sadly, he has probably been our best D-Linemen, but this overachiever has been a nice surprise.

Free Fallers

Jordan Gross- Is becoming the Huddle's new Todd Stussie. It has only been 3 games but I am a little worried. I think that he may not have fully recovered yet, but at least he is playing unlike Otah. Get well soon Otah.

Dwyane Jarrett- I think there are people who would be okay if we just cut him and just left his spot empty. I don't think the coaches want Jarrett anywhere near Clausen's ear. They probably don't want Smith near it either but he is a necessary evil I guess. This guy sucks, and I don't believe it is Fox.

Louis Leonard- Unlike Jarrett, he actually got cut.

Louis Leonard- Unlike Jarrett, he actually got cut.

I think I'll give these guys a 1-4 rating:

James Anderson - 3 - Playing well and is fast for a SLB, could probably play any LB spot.

Charles Godfrey - 3 - Is playing well, but with no pass rush and too much time on the field mistakes creep in.

Derek Landri - No opinion.

Jordan Gross - 2 - Injury bug plus flag happy refs looking to call holding (mostly on us, but never the other team.)

Dwyane Jarrett - 1 - Low IQ, will never start again.

Louis Leonard - 2 - Injury bug and not that talented to begin with. JAG (just a guy.)

Eh while I'm at it:

Wharton - 4 - Looks to be fighting like a wild rhino out there. I LOVE IT. Go Wharty! He's run blocking as well as I've ever seen him. I used to hate the guy, but now he's putting it on the line.

Kalil - 2 - Having a horrible year in pass blocking, big DTs are going right by him with little trouble. He's got to step up, or Jimmy will be injured. I'm not joking.

I refuse to even mention the other two o-linemen. I refuse. Tuuurrrble.

Lefell - 2 - Runs a nice smooth route, blocks well, looks the part, and has little brick hands covered in butter.

Smith - No opinion - hard to rate the guy when I rarely see him in action. He's amazing when he has the ball, but he's out or the frame for most of the game.

Gettis - 3 - He's getting some seperation, and he can catch. From what I can tell, it seems like contact bothers this guy, throws him off balance. I remember Drew Carter had the same problem with DBs getting physical with him. Gettis needs to hit the weight room and add whatever muscle he has room to add.

Fiametta -3 - will flat out blow a LB up, he can really punish defenders, but what does it matter when we don't use him that much? He's like a heavy weight fighter that goes to the body, you don't see the full effect until the later rounds. This guy is a monster, his size and weight distribution makes it impossible for LBs to really take him on.

I don't really pay attention to the TEs.

Brown - 2 - At Florida St Brown would just use pure speed to blow by OTs. At the NFL level his speed rush isn't working. Once an OT gets his hands on him, he just can't get free. And he's not really big enough to bull rush an NFL OT.

I hate our DTs with a deep passion. They don't get a mention.

Hardy - 2 - I was high on Hardy in preseason, but against NFL starters he doesn't look as great as I had hoped. The good news is that he hasn't really maxed out his potential, next season should be his time to shine (or flop).

We know about the other DEs and our CBs.

I fully expect upgrades at DT and DE for next season, either through the draft or FA. We'll probably stick with the WRs we have until they either flop or shine after a few years.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      89 on The Pivot

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
