Lol Jon Gruden; "NFL should fine the QBs when they stare down receivers." I love Chucky.

Lastnight on MNF when a Redskins receiver got clocked hard, Gruden then went on a rant saying its the QB's fault for staring down the receiver too long and leading a defender right to the receiver as a result. I dont know why but I busted out laughing for some reason when he said that. "I tell ya, NFL should fine the QBs for staring down the receiver to begin with."

BTW, this isnt Panther related but just thought it was funny as heck. Say what you will about Gruden, but ive always loved the guy.

I saw that play.  It was a crap call.  Guy going over the middle and as soon as he turns he gets low, falling forward.  The defender was already going low and bam.  Nobodies fault.  Guy goes down.  Lays there.  Doesn't get up.  Then come two flags.

 

If I was an NFL players I'd just stay down on any hard hit to draw the flag.

Idk but this comment reminded me of that time we were playing the bucs on mnf and someone in the bucs' secondary pushed or contacted keyshawn out of bounds and he sold it like shawn michaels and got the penalty called against TB

i remember somebody on ... was it the saints? ...hitting steve smith across the middle helmet-to-helmet really hard. it was scary. smitty laid out on the ground motionless, and for a breathless couple of moments nothing happened, and then two yellow flags came sailing into the picture, and steve smith popped up off the ground like a loaded fuging spring and starting talking poo.

 

amazing

Hell, it was just last year that TD had that flag thrown for hitting that bucs receiver who was on the ground for like one minute after he got hit, then he went to the fuging sideline on his own looking like he was bragging about the call. I think it was that bitch Tiquan Underwood. Pretty much, the refs are going to call a flag if they feel like the player got hurt on the play, which is bullshit.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      I think the Njoku interest revealed intent and the type of TE they want.  I really expected more from Sanders.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Defensive tackle (or end in a 3-4 base) is suddenly a rather significant need.  It seems to be a forbidden topic on the Huddle.  Well I am going to unforbidden it for this thread. When we lost Robinson, it was a salary cap cutting move, saving us about $9m or so, I think.  That suggests that we are going to get cheaper, younger, and maybe, more multi-dimensional.  First, what did we lose in Robinson: (Charlotte Observer)  "Robinson co-led the team in sacks (5.5) in 2024, and he ranked second among Carolina linemen, behind Brown, in sacks (2.5) in 2025. (Derrick) Brown played on 76.4% of the Panthers’ defensive snaps last year, while Robinson played on 62.2% of those reps. No other defensive lineman played more than 38.3%, as free-agent addition, Turk Wharton, dealt with injuries throughout his first season in Carolina. Wharton played in just nine games, producing 36 total tackles and two sacks. He’s guaranteed $14 million this upcoming season. Read more at: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article314544998.html#storylink=cpy OK, about Turk Wharton.  The Observer claims that he and Bobby Brown III were to rotate into the Robinson DE position, but that is too weird for my head to comprehend.  First, Brown III is a NT by trade and Wharton weighs about 280 lbs and is not stout vs. the run.  Brown III is not going to provide the internal pass pressure; he is basically designed to take on double teams and dig in.  Wharton, on the other hand, had a PFF score in those 9 games of 40 or so.  In fairness, he was playing with injuries, but Damn.  PFF gives me a higher rating at the Golden Corral buffet.  In other words, we need a true DT who can fill the two thirds of snaps that we just released.  We can't count on Turk and Brown III is not the answer.  Cam Jackson?  Same as Brown.  Have your people do what they do best.  Furthermore, Derrick Brown probably should limit his snaps.  Playing more than 3/4 of the snaps is hard on the body.  A tired player in the trenches is more prone to lower-body injuries. We need a player who can give Derrick Brown some relief and play opposite him as well.  Turk can rotate in but he needs to shoot gaps and give Guards and tackles fits--a change of pace.   I have to think we are going to draft DT much sooner than most Huddlers realize.  My favorite, you didn't ask? Probable second-rounder Gracen Halton (No. 59 overall, according to ESPN's March 2026 update). Once considered a Day 3 sleeper, his 2026 NFL draft stock has exploded into Round 2 or 3 due to elite interior pass-rush metrics.  Projected Round: 2 (Early to Mid) Key Traits: Elite explosive, quickness, 12.2%+ pass-rush win rate, and positional versatility to play inside on passing downs. Combine Highlights: Led defensive tackles in the vertical jump (36.5”) and broad jump, per Sports Illustrated. Draft Stock: Rising fast due to consistent 2025 production (7 tackles for loss) and a "freak show" combine performance, according to Stormin in Norman.  Halton is considered a high-motor playmaker and a potential Day 2 standout, notes   I would not be surprised to see DT on day 2.
