Alright Norman...lets see what you got this weekend. Keep it up

Medlock is sounding more and more like our new kicker

Anyone know how Josh Thomas is doing today?

McClain seems to be learning how to step it up to the next level...now he needs start building on the consistency side. I really hope having a healthy Edwards will allow McClain to develop into a solid DT. We need that interior push sooooooo badly

If the Kickoff team could tackle, it wouldn't have been a TD. The coaching staff needs to start valuing points over kickoffs. Reports through out training camp said Medlock was kicking them into the endzone on every kick. Im pretty sure it was a fluke. Even if he has one bad KO every once in a while, I would be happy knowing that he can be reliable in tight games. The KO team should be able to tackle a returner. There's just no excuse for that.

I completely agree with the kickoff coverage needing to improve. They need to be prepared for a weak kick and fill their lanes. The short kickoff is also unacceptable, but I am glad to hear it was a fluke. His leg strength looks much stronger than Mare's, and even Mare is kicking them into the endzone. If Medlock continues the way he has been playing, he is going to make this team.

Sounds like a nice practice for Huddle hopes and dreams. Medlock looking a lot better than Mare. Norman maybe becoming the 2 and Captain moving to the Nickel.

Man I hope Norman can lock down the 2. Even if he's only average this year, his nose for the ball will drastically improve my confidence in he secondary and going up against a guy like Julio Jones.

To which Olsen replies: "Only your third day practicing. Fresh legs."

oh snap. burn.

but Olsen is probably right. All these guys are a day away fromleaving the hot hell hole known as Spartanburg....and Norman has been chillin

but good play is good play. nice to hear.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By CRA · Posted

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
