Lets time travel back to the year 2005 in an alternate universe, Sione Fua is a 18 year old highschooler. He is such an amazing Offensive Tackle the LA times writes an article about him. Not only is this comedy gold, it makes me wonder why Fua ever became a DT.

At the end of his heavyweight wrestling matches, Sione Fua of Encino Crespi comes under siege.

At least five of his smaller teammates jump on his back in a futile attempt to take him down.

because he insisted on playing defense.

Good corner eh? Maybe he could replace Josh Thomas.

Kirk Morrison was on Fox Sports radio last night talking about how Stanford guys have a pretty widely reputation around the league as being known as soft that I thought was amusing and perhaps telling.

 

 

Also, without any reason whatsoever for doing so, mentioned that Steve Smith is known around the league as "the O.G." of toughness and trash talk in league circles.

 

It's a shame media types who have no idea what they're looking at 75% of the time vote on something as important as Hall of Fame inductees. If it were up to the people that knew Smitty would be a lock. I've never seen a player get as much respect around the league as Smith does.

What's the point in doing something you hate just because you're good at it when you're a kid?  I was a phenomenal swimmer when I was a teenager but had absolutely zero interest in doing it competitively.. had a blast being a mediocre football player instead.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
