the subject is Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short.  Both guys relate their draft evaluations of these players to how they performed in preseason action, most notably the Ravens game where they went full bore against mostly starters for a half and then some.

 

Cosell speaks about how 'nimble' Star is, and his positional versatility, and Farrar chimes in.

 

The discussion about Short is more about snap count in college versus NFL, and how that ties into evaluating draft prospects. Cosell wonders if Kawann can't be a very effective player playing 30-35 snaps per game to start.

 

short talk, but it's mostly positive and they've clearly watched at least the Baltimore game in detail.

They went in depth about Short. Cosell thought he would prosper with around 30-35 snaps a game in a rotation as his flash plays will be more consistant.

Star got the he is the "new" type of DT that can play all positions on the line.

Lazy summary for the lazy ones who hate listening to anything.

Its a great podcast that I will listen to on the regular this season.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By CRA · Posted

      in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.

      He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot.

      This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
