Not surprised, he was mocked as a low  first round pick by quite a few people.  The fact that DT went from our biggest weakness, to potentially a duo that'll be here the next decade, is pretty amazing.  Star and Short complement each other well, but I do hope Dwan gets back so they can get a break without putting Fua out there.

I wanted him in the second regardless of what we did in the first.  I saw a mock that had us taking him, and everything

looked perfect.  When I saw some mocks having Star falling to us in the first, I still felt we were so bad at DT we

should take Short if he were there.

 

sometimes dreams do come true.

 

only problem is, both are playing so well when it comes time to sign them to a new contract, I'm afraid we

won't be able to afford it, 2 years after signing Cam, and 1 year after signing Luke.

Impossible to project that, that's 4 years away, at which point the huge running back contracts we have will be off the books.

I do believe the rotation really helps with his consistency...........

I think you are correct.

He WAS the flat at Purdue. Guy got worn down. Not to mention that Purdue's offense sucked and the D was always on the field.

These are big men...hard to move that much mass all game without rest. Good rotation and our offense being at the top of the league in TOP is huge.

I watched a lot if big 10 football last tear and saw the incredible potential of kk. He was just inconsistent. I am happy the panthers are getting that consistency out of him.

 

i noticed the same thing.

 

2 things going on...

too much weight

too many snaps

 

both were corrected.

 

one thing that has surprised me about both guys is how good they are in the things that were considered their weaknesses.

 

star was supposed to be great against the run (he is) but in pass rushing was a bit weaker (it's not, tho). kk was supposed to be great at getting to the passer (he is), but almost a liability against the run (he ain't, tho).

 

we have ourselves one great combo with a great complementary cast in cole and dwan (if dwan can get back on the field).

 

i love that with basically a blink of an eye we went from the interior of that DL being one of the weaker in the league to being one of the best.

 

in fact i live the turnaround on both sides of the ball over the years. 2010 we had one of the weakest offenses ever in the game to one of the best in 2011 (tho we're just now starting to get that back in that groove). in 2011 we went from being the worst D in the league to now one of the top three in the league.

 

i love it.

 

now the game day coaching is catching up to the talent and i've got to say i'm impressed.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁

      I like Icky but he was the wrong tackle to take. Learning run blocking is much easier than learning pass blocking. Cross was pass pro ready. He was the tackle we should have taken without hesitation.
