• Cam Newton will throw at least three interceptions

Honeymoon’s over, Cam. Or at least, it’s back to real life for a week.

Newton had an incredible debut performance, shredding Arizona’s pitiful pass defense for 422 yards and two touchdowns. He tossed just one INT in that game, a 28-21 loss, but the challenge in front of him is about to kick up a notch.

Sure, the Packers allowed more than 400 yards passing to Drew Brees on opening night. But that’s Drew Brees. Green Bay will come after Newton with a variety of blitzes that he hasn’t seen before, and Charles Woodson will do what he can to take away Steve Smith, who had eight catches for 178 yards in the opener and was clearly Newton’s first choice.

I don't think he'll be as successful as last week but I can't see three picks. I expect to see a bit more running to keep the Packer's O off the field.

      Logically yes. Boston has the right balance though. Jalen Brown is #2 in the paint and their best shooters are 17th and 19th. While our best shooters are #1 and #2 and we have one player in the top 50 for points in the paint. And my understanding looking at the information I just referenced is we were basically at the exact same paint percentage last year in Charles Lee's offense. At the end of the day we either want to compete for a playoff series winner and the finals or we just want to stumble our way to another play in. We've already done that with James Borrego.

      We need more bigs.  I love Moose, but him coming off the bench would be ideal. Even Kalkbrenner slowed down  Duren/Stewart from my eyes.   Draft someone like 7’3 Center from Michigan Aday Mara. We have plenty of talent, we need size. I really want Yaxel and one of Mara/ Quaintance.

      An Offensive Tackle for the Long Term, but....

      By frankw · Posted

      We don't need another first round WR to evaluate Bryce Young. You could give him a young Jerry Rice Randy Moss and Justin Jefferson and he would still struggle to lead the group to a top 20 passing offense because he simply cannot utilize the entire field consistently. All we're going to end up with by drafting another first round wide receiver is a disgruntled WR room. Because one there are not that many touches to go around and two the touches that will be available maybe half of them will result in good to great ball placement. And the bulk of them will be thrown at or behind the line of scrimmage. If the FO goes WR at 19 all involved might as well go ahead and start looking at other job opportunities down the line.
