Lol kind of like R. Rivera with Siona Fua oh the misery

Honestly I’m okay with that based on who we have in the secondary.

I agree lol. Nixon isn’t game changing or game altering talent. I just feel this signing has the potential to help make the Browns one dimensional. My emphasis on Cleveland was because we have to take it one game at a time after winning 5 games each of the last two seasons. We should want Brissett trying to throw it 30 or more times against our strength, which is our secondary. No way I want Chubb and his backups running down our throat in BOA.

Hard point to argue there. I think this move is more about taking Cleveland’s rushing attack away. Roy is a better run stopper than Nixon.

Thanks that’s what I was curious about. Now we at least know there is a clear plan. Cleveland for the last 3 years has been top 3 in rushing. This is a step to ensure Cleveland doesn’t run all over us. I’m not sure why some of the other Huddlers are surprised based on how Rhule can be quick to the trigger. Nixon wasn’t going to turn into an All-Pro. He fell out of favor in college, so why gamble on a low floor decent ceiling defensive lineman now. We also need to be honest Nixon didn’t flash this year and Hoskins and McCall are both stout against the run. I like the signing, if it works on Sunday. We don’t need any 150 yard rushing days from the Browns. We definitely don’t need Chubb gashing us and taking our defenses confidence away. At least our coaches know their potential flaws.

The quarterbacks that have had the most success in Carolina have all had moxie and swag. Delhomme, Cam and hopefully Baker. It’s an Alpha sport that generates billions of dollars. You need an Alpha go get ‘‘em attitude. Based on Cynthia’s transcript and backpedaling I don’t see anything that Baker did wrong here.

If we’re smart we will run the ball at a high clip to protect Ickey and Baker and plan for quick throws early in the game. Then take some shots as the defensive line gets a little winded.

Yep I swear Rhule fixates at all the wrong analytics.

Best comment in this thread. He needs to coach his way out of the hole he created without any further damage. That’s if he can, which isn’t likely. He would need to hire new offensive and defensive cords. I know the defensive coordinator idea isn’t as popular but I thunk we can do better.

I think that’s most peoples thought process. Donte keeps playing at his current level with his tackles for loss, speed combined with his age he will probably be the top free agent CB . If that happens I rather take Gilmore for around a 3 year.

Good post I hope Gilmore #9 can erase #17

Maaaan whatever Sam sucks. We had threads complaining about PJ and how he couldn’t get it done. PJ played well and Sam is a dud. A rich dud but a dud.

Facts! I just hope he can get up to speed with the offense for WFT.

CMC opens up the offense and hides our deficiencies on the offensive line. Our lineman were getting beat like a drum in the first three games but the quick outlet passes prevented the sacks. We seemed to have finally have found a complimentary 2nd option out of the backfield with Abdullah also. We will stick with the run and use quick passes in this game with an occasional downfield shot. Defensively I hope we begin to see that top 5 unit shining through with Gilmore locking down one side.

Quarterbacks know they need time to go through their progressions. I don’t think it’s the market. Players love Charlotte. As a quarterback you want a fair chance at success and our line doesn’t provide that.

He is even improving his kickoff depth.

We talk about our luck lately but I’m glad we picked up DJ over Calvin mainly due to his availability. I pray Ridley is okay but to miss two games due to a personal matter seems extreme. I hope all is okay with his family.

Quarterback play is Rhule’s to own. He released Cam for a lesser quarterback. He was unhappy with Teddy’s play as we all were ( unable to throw deep ball but accurate) and traded away draft capital for a lesser quarterback. I get it Darnold has a higher ceiling than Teddy but he also has a lower floor. Last 4 weeks we have gotten the floor and the head ball coach needs to own that.

Call me a bit of a pessimist on this but I don’t think a former defensive player of the year (2 years removed) would be willing to make a position change in the final year of a contract he was already unhappy with. Absolutely love the idea for the team. Sounds great but……. He’d personally be crazy to do it as a player especially when the open market would pay him so much more at corner.

Exactly. Claim to be a staff that takes an analytical approach yet we abandon analytics in the draft and take the shiny flashy pick that has the least impact on each snap.

I don’t understand what happened on the long ball. Maybe it’s a lack of practice or repetition? I remember Darnold being money with USC, and the Jets on the long ball. Decision making was questionable at times at USC. The pressure up the middle could possibly have Darnold antsy and incapable of properly stepping into throws. Just a guess based on the elements.

Brady had one of the best RAZ scores for athleticism in this past draft. Brady’s shortcoming would probably be he doesn’t have the ideal playing weight. I believe he is right around 297 pounds. He is athletic enough to overcome the arm length argument at tackle. Why on earth does half this forum think he would be the answer at LG? He played left tackle in college and he would not hold up well to an NFL defensive tackles interior bull rush. Think about a tackle like Derrick Brown bull rushing the rookie. That just wouldn’t work. Please leave Brady at one of the tackle positions, preferably the side he excelled at in college. My vote would be Moton at right tackle where he has excelled and feels most comfortable. Brady where he has the most experience. Deonte Brown should help slow up the push right up the gut. Those options don’t fix our line issues but it should slow up the leak.

Didn’t they practice all week opposite of this ? In addition to both players having multiple years experience on the opposite side. I hope I am dead wrong but this doesn’t make sense.

Based on the chatter from Jaguar fans and his introverted nature this may be the perfect city for him. The Carolinas have a nice blend of “southern hospitality” and peaceful options where you can be left alone and enjoy your peace. If needed I hope we have sports psychologist on staff that he feels comfortable with as well.

While Tunsil would be a huge upgrade our problem is more so up the middle at center and left guard. In addition we have tons of salary cap space but we have some of out top players (Burns & Moore ) due for extensions. If Darnold continues ar his current trajectory he will also need to be renewed.
