2nd round safety of the eagles in 11 was cut today.

http://www.nfl.com/n...condrounder-cut

Any familiar with him johnny rockets maybe that could shed some light on it? From the article he sounds every bit like what godfrey has been for us. (misses a lot of tackles) However with steve wilks being brought in from the chargers do you think we take a chance on him in a back up role and move campbell to the practice squad?

why?

Because we should always be looking to upgrade even in the back up positions. Not to mention the guy has been in a crowded secondary in philly.

He has good size at 6'0 and he seems to be pretty built and every one of our safeties is pretty scrawny by comparison as i mentioned the biggest guy in our secondary from a physical standpoint is Captain and for a safety thats crazy if corners are bigger than you.

And how do you go from being regarded as a great tackler by coaches all over the place to being a horrible tackler all of a sudden? I think it's an interesting look.

Is he a "special teams ace?"

In 11 when they drafted him they were hoping he would fit the mold of Brian Dawkins. And supposedly in college he looked every bit the part. I'm sure you all are aware of the poo machine that has been going on in Philly with their d coach being a former o line coach.

As far as special teams goes i'm as out of the loop as you guys on the subject. All I know is what I remember hearing during draft day in 11 and what I saw from some highlights on that day and from some i've just found. Which is why I asked if anyone knew in my first post.

Isn't wilkes supposed to be really good with the safeties?

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.

      That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.

      They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
