Kealoha pilares the quiet secret weapon.

With his halfback background and everyman mentality i see Pilares making that push towards the second man behind steve smith. With his recent TC performances it's going to be even more exciting to see him during the preseason. I expect him to surprise alot of people he reminds me of wes welker with a mix of danny woodhead.

Hes just now getting his opportunity in TC and from what i've seen hes turning into a weapon every is keeping quiet about.

He caught 88 passes last season and 15 touchdowns for the warriors while returning punts and kickoffs. Yes the warrior offense is pass heavy but being able to catch 88 passes with 4 other receivers on the field battling for the ball is something special.

I don't see where all the "Kealoha pilares is steve smith" stuff is coming from. The guy made some nice catches yesterday but is far from a lock to make the team. With armanti locking down a spot,i would say that put pilares behind the 8 ball. Can we see one preseason game before crowning him the next agent 89?

Um... who said that? I said he reminds me of Smith, mainly referring to his size and quickness... I just want to know how he's doing in camp.

I think he will go on the IR with a mysterious injury, and not play a down for us this year.

I thought the same thing. Barnidge too. However, with Gettis's hamstring and knee....

I am going out on a limb. We will keep 6 WRs. Edwards, Pilares, lafell and possibly Naanee and Gettis have special teams possibilites. I see Pilares and Naanee as possible gunners. Lafell, Edwards, or Gettis as possible kick/punt returners. Makes more sense than keeping CJ Davis.

My take is this: If your backup OL can be kept on the PS (players like R. Pugh), then all you need at gametime is a player who can fill a spot in a pinch. Bernardeau can play center and both guards. Ziemba can play RT and possible RG, some say LT. Some teams do not have the luxury of keeping a reserve OL on the PS because they are older. Would you rather have Pugh + a roster spot or CJ Davis?

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
