I think he wil fit in fine but I am still holding out on the notion that he is Hoover's heir apparent.

Not that I don't like the guy. I want him to be a monster in the backfield and help Dubl Trubl get more yards than any other 2 teams in the NFL combined.

I'm just waiting to see him in action, plus I am quite the Hoover fan.

Those are some big shoes to fill, IMHO...

It is a bit earlier, but camp comes later this year too. Normally we start with the low round picks early July usually squeezing in the top pick just as camp starts (except for Beason).

With no first rounder, I guess it shouldn't be difficult to have everyone signed on time.

For Fiammetta, that's good he's signed. It's seems the opinions are about split on his role this year. I'm in the camp of, Yeah, the guys' a beast,but he's got to learn. Those thinking Fiammetta is bouncing Hoover this year is sorely mistaken, IMO.

I think CJ wilson or nate salley will be cut. But we are doing well with our signings so far.

Nah, they will cut camp fodder signed in the winter before cutting regulars. Especially to sign draft picks. The chances of CJ and Nate making it past the final cut in early Sept. are very high.

I don't think he'll bounce hoover this or next season. However I think with his skill sets and speed, that he should be polished enough Talent wise going into this season to take some plays away from Hoover. Which in my book is a good thing, the longer you can keep (one of if not the best blocking fb in the league) fresh the better.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
