So I did the behind the scenes tour today at BOA and got the opportunity to talk with Mike Rucker. I asked him who's dline was better, his or the current group.

In front of the tour group he said that it was pretty even and that he would give the slight edge to this group because theyre younger and have the opportunity to dominate longer.

I asked him again on the side after the group had moved on and his answer was a bit different. He admitted that he felt his group was better mainly because of their special teams play. He talked about their ability to block kicks and punts, something we don't see from this current group. Really cool guy to talk to.

Side Note- Got a chance to go in the locker room and Cam has 60 pairs of shoes!! He has two lockers (Jimmy's old locker). Steve Smith also has two lockers (AE's old locker)

That line was always blocking field goals. I remember that tampa game. Peppers used to just smack the crap out of every kick

Wonder what the NFL record is for blocked kicks and INT for a lineman? Gotta think Pep is in the conversation

      I love T-mac but where is the impact from this year's draft?

      Jalon Walker not looking like a bust? That can't be right.

      To be fair. Our GM is the assistent of the worst GM in NFL history.  We pay trillions of dollars on the Oline and cant pass protect or run.  We pay trllions of dollars on the D-dine and cant pass rush.  We cant draft. We are a bad team. With a bad owner and really bad management.

      Stud: WR Tetairoa McMillan In the midst of all the incompetence and mediocrity, there's one shining hope for the future of this franchise. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the team with six catches and 100 receiving yards. He also had an extremely impressive one-handed catch wiped out becaue he couldn't quite stay in-bounds. McMillan is a bit slower, but there are flashes of some Julio Jones in his game. His route running and YAC ability are both far better than they were advertised coming out of the draft.   Or, you know, exactly what anyone who watched enough of his tape would have known.   Honestly, our Arizona board could never understand this knock on him in the pre-draft process, because we all knew it wasn't true.  And sure, we're fans who watched all his games, but you'd think the experts who supposedly watch all the snaps of these type of prospects would have been seeing it too, it was glaringly obvious to us. Seriously, how many times did I say here that he could run every route needed?  How many times did I talk about his surprisingly good run after catch ability for someone his size?  How he wasn't a burner, but he was amazingly smooth for a 6'5" WR? As I've said, only 2 players from Arizona, both football and basketball, have I ever felt they were 1 million percent can't miss stars in the pros.  T-Mac and Gronkowski, that's it.  One is the greatest TE in NFL history, the other is about to take Smitty's mantle as the Panthers WR GOAT when all is said and done.
