I spoke with Armanti Edwards (you won’t recognize him with his dreadlocks gone, by the way) briefly on Tuesday and he talked about having a fresh start in Carolina under new head coach Ron Rivera. Edwards didn’t come out and say it, but it was fairly obvious John Fox wasn’t his biggest fan.

Biggest development of his career.

I really believe we are going to see what he is capable of this season. He SHOULD be in better shape, and shouldnt have to wait on him "to get his legs".

I am glad he will be getting reps with Cam and the second team for a little while.

I watched the kid for four years at ASU and I know what kind of athlete he is and his playmaking capability. But, i may just be being overly optimistic.

Yeah me too... Worried about having so many guys at WR though, hope he isn't another Dexter Jackson type deal.

Hopefully Rivera and Shula recognize the potential he has in a Randle El role.

Also, the more I've heard since Fox left and the Jenkins interview yesterday, it appears that Fox and Hurney weren't so buddy-buddy, and definitely had differences in personnel opinions.

I think Dexter Jackson was a guy with more straight line speed, Armanti has much better feet, field vision, and looser hips.

Hopefully his route running and hands have gotten better.

don't know how he's going to do, but i sure am interested to see what he can do and how they use him.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
