My Case For Brandon Thompson Dt

I'm a big Clemson fan and I've watched ever single game Brandon Thompson has played. If we want a wall against the run he's the best out there. Watch his tape. He never goes backwards. He's constantly and I man constantly double teamed. I've seen him get triple teamed. His first step is nasty and he can split that double team. After he going in one direction he does have a problem redirecting but a smart LB will flow to that open hole as he'll leave the RB with only one hole to choose from.

We've got Luke now (along with other awesome LB's already on the team) and if we really want a DT that will always command a double team and clog the middle so that those LB can do their thing then we should so take this guy.

Look at this tape vs South Carolina. Watch for the following.

How many times he double teamed.

How man times he splits those double teams.

How many times his penetration redirects the play.

What he does when he's single covered.

How much he pushes the pocket.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.

      The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
