Kris Durham made me think of our golden-haired boy (for obvious reasons).

Kris Durham, a.k.a. White Chocolate, is making a little noise since being activated off the practice squad in Motown.  He made me think of Brenton Bersin. Is Bersin that bad that we couldn't have activated him off the practice squad when we released Armanti Edwards?  I mean, he did seem to have a little something in training camp and preseason. We have signed him to the PS a couple of times. Durham was a PS guy that some thought would never see the light of day, but has come on and had solid production the last couple of weeks with Megatron on the mend. With Lester coming off the practice squad and doing a good job, is it not conceivable to think that  the coaches have Bersin buried on the PS while Hixon and  a newly acquired McNutt ride the pine.  I wonder what gives with Bersin.  He probably knew the offense better than Hixon before Hixon was acquired, and he certainly has to know it better than McNutt.  Is he just PS material, or is he being overlooked because of a lack of perceived athleticism in regards to the other guys?

I, I uh, I um, how do it put this?....I can't say I have ever seen anything out of Bersin.  His mom and dad were nice to meet at TC but I can't say why he is even on the practice squad.

 

Just my 2 cents.

 

So, why is he here then?  For the second year in a row? G-man is supposed to be the Godfather talent evaluator.  Sometimes the answer is on the roster, huh? Is Bersin that useless?

I'm on your side as far as Panther fans go, but regarding Bersin, your guess is as good as mine.  He looked like hot garbage at Wofford and my only guess is he went and got Jerry a cold beer one time at a neighborhood cookout in 2003.

Well, damn. That explains a lot then. That dashes my expectations, little as they were.

Yep, there was a story about it last season. About his dreams coming true playing for his favorite team growing up, attending games in Richardson's box...etc

He's a practice squad player.

It's not a big deal.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
