That sounds like an excellent plan!

McDermott: Hey there, Sherrod. I'm glad you've been learning the safety position in my system all through preseason, but, it looks like you're going to have to go to cornerback in my system. Yeah, that means you'll be learning the position as we play real games. You're cool with that, right?

Umm, DB would be an easy transition from safety. He used to play corner, he has the speed, has the size. Your not going to get anyone half that good from waivers or cuts. Also Pugh has done pretty damn well at FS when given the time.

Well, since Safety is a DB, it would be an easy transition. CB, however, would be much more difficult. Sherrod's learned the safety position over the last two seasons in the NFL. He's studied the tendencies of the position. Also, he's had to learn safety in a completely new system, where blitzes are constantly used.

The coverages are different, the looks are different, the zones are different. And he would have to learn this stuff during the regular season. Could he do it? I absolutely believe he could. But, he would be learning while playing in games that actually matter.

    • Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

    • It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
