When I look back at this season and the memories I’m going to have, the highs and lows, there were a lot of situations to learn from. That’s one good thing that going 2-14 can get you. You definitely appreciate those wins more when they come, and you value those opportunities when you get to play in meaningful football games.

If you’re going to go 13-3 you’re going to need a little luck. I don’t want to downplay what the Falcons have done, they’re not just lucky to be 13-3, but it was Week 17 before they had to make their first roster move of the year. The group of guys they put together at the beginning of the season stayed healthy and stayed together for 16 weeks. That is a blessing that can’t be controlled by the organization, by the coaches or by the players.

...thoughts on Rivera:

As far as our new head coach, I just want to say that I had the opportunity to meet Ron Rivera when he was with San Diego and they brought me in before I was drafted. He’s an upstanding guy with a great personality and I hear he has one of the better football minds in the game. That was further validated by Chris Harris, who played safety for him in Chicago. We talked about Coach Rivera a few times and how he did things in Chicago, and Chris never had anything negative to say. I think he’s going to be a great head coach.

he a FA? we should be able to get something for him.. a 3rd isn't too far fetched is it?

sounds to me he threw a lot of our lack of success on the back of injuries. the only injury that can be used is Otah not making it back.. all the rest were late in the season.. or none had a big impact to cause a downward spiral during the season..

yeah, he seems to have a pragmatic view on the state of the panthers' LB's. not sure if anything will happen this offseason with Connor, but perhaps after the CBA is sorted out the FO can find some suitors or perhaps another prospect to exchange for him.

Sounds like he's not looking to move back outside. I get the feeling he will be completely ready for a new start next season, and as the unquestioned leader of the defense, that is a very good thing. I expect him to be ready to go and form a winning defense whenever the players are allowed back in the locker rooms.

side note, this would be an awesome year to have OTA's and minicamp to get players up to speed on the new "way things are."

Unless the CBA is ironed out before the draft, teams will be unable to trade players. Therefore, any trade we made with Connor would have to be after the draft and for future year picks.

I see.. how does that work with FA? everyone has to sit tight until the CBA is formed?

I might have to expect the FO to go BPA in the draft regardless of need and attack our needs through FA once they open up.. although, both could go hand in hand..

only way they could go I think..

this means Orton could be had for next year draft picks.. interesting, I think I might have to go troll this info.. ;)

I've always said trade him to a 43 team that's transitioning to a 34 for a D lineman that doesn't fit their scheme. It's win/win.

      Trey Lance 2026

      By 45catfan · Posted

      What people fail to understand is Lance had a college career that lasted about as long as teenage boys first intercourse.  To say he was raw was an understatement.  So much so that even a QB whisperer had a difficult time molding him into a polished NFL product on top of multiple nagging injuries.  The dud is in his mid-twenties, finally healthy and little miles on the tread.  Low risk, high reward.  If he's available, it would be stupid not to kick the tires.  It took Darnold and Mayfield to hit their 3rd or 4th team for things to finally click.  This is Lance's 3rd stop, I believe.  It's either time for it to click for him or be relegated to a full time backup. Roll the dice....

      Wrong.  At least we put a QB sneak in the play book and and add plays over 20 yards.

      I don’t know if people realize that Evan’s was one of the top TE prospects in college  before having some horrible injuries. I wanna say he had two major injuries in back to back seasons which limited his play and dropped his draft stock.
