So your argument is one of imaginary speculation, while mine is based on fact. Continue living in fantasy land, it doesn't change the fact that we haven't shown any interest in acquiring a second pass catching TE, so I see no reason to believe that our offensive philosophy is going to revert to a two TE set scheme.

edit: also, which scheme worked better? Well technically we had one more wins with one TE sets, and statistically Cam was about the same. Like I said, he plays more into Cam's natural ability to have dynamic players that can spread the field and attack downfield - which is why a dynamic and FAST slot receiver would do wonders for him and our offense.

1. You don't know what scheme we will run so how is any of your poo a fact???

2. We were a top 5 offense in the 2 TE set. We weren't in the 1 TE set. That's fact.

Notice the difference.

The fact is Adams isn't a Gettlmen pick. And if Gman thinks Tavon is BPA or is a major upgrade, then he couldnt careless about Joe. And why should he? He has no ties to the kid.

Well I would hope he would have no attachment to this DT group and secondary group in the same way. Which IMO should be more of importance then a slot WR.

So you don't think anyone else will be added to those positions? We've added 3 to the secondary. 1 to DT (though coleman may not stick). I'm sure players will be added through the draft and FA after the draft. Then we may find someone after cuts start. We're far from done. And we have a much more solid base now, than last year.

They are both Slot WR which is the same importance as a #2 TE. Why would we put more importance on that position?

Austin is much more than just a slot receiver. Whereas, Adams was primarily a returner. Saying they both are slot guys, which equates to a 2nd TE?, is pigeonholing to make your own point sound valid. If Adams hadn't disappointed last year, we may not even be discussing Austin. Then again, maybe we are discussing Austin because he is a WR with returner ability. Adams is a returner with very little Wr ability. Two very different cats.

Um yeah it did. Wasn't long after the ATL game he was relegated to early downs. Martin was brought in on passing downs. Then after Sherrod went down, Godfrey moved over and the rook stared at SS. It may not have been soon enough, but it did happen.

Naka started and played in 13 games so he still got playing time even thoe he was the worst safety in the league.

Adams only got action in 3 games. Big difference in opportunities there.

He is a slot Wr just like adams. Austin has potential to be the very best but that's all he is.

And Adams had 50 rec. his last 2 years in college meaning he was more then just a "Primary returner".

He seems to be doing a lot of lining up at WR and making plays as a slot in this video.

No the problem is I'm sick and tried of this approach to this position. Later round Draft picks and throw a ways from other teams. How has that worked out for us?

When will we see what other people see so clearly?? We need to put more resources into this position like teams who make the playoffs year in and year out do.

I am truly sorry, but I am not going to compare a 4th round Adams, with suspect hands. To a 1st rounder whose only knock is his size. To very different talent levels. ...........The only thing Adams does consistently is be inconsistent. I watched Adams in college and was excited to see him as a Panther. But he did the same thing last year he did in college. He has ball control problems. If he fixes that, he may have a shot. If he doesn't fix it, he could be gone. IMO,Austin is a huge upgrade over Adams.

Verge, would we take Hayden if he fell to us, or is your source set about Austin or Vaccaro?

I was told if Austin or Vaccaro are on the board, it is the pick, though I suppose things can change. I personally like Hayden over Vaccaro but not Austin.

My problem isn't with a player it's with the position.

I agree that Austin is a better player then Adams. My problem is does a slot Wr warrant the importance of a top 15 pick. It hasn't never before. I could also see this if we were going to run a offense that passes the ball 70% of the time. But that's not the case. We will run the ball just as much as we pass it. So what makes the slot wr more important then a DT or secondary or TE or Oline??

Being told we like both guards and Fluker over Patterson. Odd.

If you are looking for starting material, this move makes sense. If you are going off potential, odd is the right word. Big guys and TD makers. This makes Gettle sense. I don't like it, don't like it one little bit. No guards in the first please.

Thank god.

What's the plan at DT. More bandaides and late round picks until we get lucky???

I think they are comfortable with what they have to be honest, though I do not truly have an answer for what they want to do at that spot.

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
