our one weakness...

It's been going on for years, now. It's been talked about ad nauseum. We've been hoping someone would take KKs job ever since we got him, Rod especially!

RBA wants a new 2 so bad, all it takes is a stiff breeze for KK to find his ass on the bench.

ETs been searching high and low, turning over every rock to find a replacement.

Literal gallons of digital ink has been spilled bemoaning our kryptonic quagmire. And, none of it has gotten us anywhere.

Centers don't grow on trees (they're actually tubers, if you were curious) and the teams lucky enough to have more than one are loathe to part with them.

Why not grow our own? DIY is all the rage, now. And, we just so happen to have a forward prospect in desperate need of an NHL roster spot.

At 5'11" 172 lbs, he's got a bit more size than some of our other options, with the frame to add more. A natural goal scorer that would fit in most teams top 6.

I have to imagine that the team will give him every opportunity to win the job in camp. The only way I can see Nadeau spending another year in the AHL is if he's learning a new position.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
