So AI’s big solution is to have all your picks in the first three rounds??

Pie for the pass rush!!

Great stop by the d. We start with ball at half right?

I think we stick with Rico. The only thing to watch is these cramps he is getting late in the game. I think we still want to feed chuba some to keep Rico fresh but not so much that it hurts his rhythm 

…is Brycen Tremayne with 108 yards. Not sure what that tells us but I imagine it’s some sort of gumbo consisting of the following:

- Bryce can’t push the ball downfield 

- contrary to what many were saying this offseason, the wr still needs a lot of work. 

- we need Coker back badly. 

- Brycen is pretty good! Congrats to that young man!

Curious to hear other’s read on it. Was a pretty surprised to see he had more yards than anyone other than Tet and thought that was symptomatic of our issues on offense. 

Dang… this is like a stat that some normal teams have at this point in the season! Go us!! 

“Breaking” does seem like an appropriate word to use for this offensive line…

Our team is built to succeed on the assumption the O-line will dominate. They haven’t come close, and Bryce, the WRs and the Defense has suffered as a result. O-line and run game have to dominate or we lose. 

This 100%. Don’t think we talk enough about the weakness of the o-line

I’ve always seen his handle as Ice Age. Anyone else?

Yes. Most definitely. Literally imagine that squirrel thing when he posts. 

Also, it’s times like these I wish we had a heart emoji or something up in this place.

Thanks for letting us know. Thoughts are with you man. Hope you get what you need to recover and heal. 

Surprised but pleased to see so many LB ‘s on the (nice) list and that their grades are actually high. 

The defense of Gruden is wild to me.

I don’t know anything about racist stuff.  I heard the reason he resigned was when it came out he said misogynistic and homophonic things. Sounds like a bit of a jerk and in my opinion his analysis was never that good anyways. Not like I was clamoring to hear what this guy had to say. Also, part of what came out was he said players who protested during games should be fired, including Carolina Panther Eric Reid. So this guy was about as pro cancel culture as you get. 

None of this is huge. I’m not saying he is the worst person. but seems weird that people on a Panthers message board are defending a mediocre media personality who is pro cancel culture, coached a decision rival, and tried to get one of our players cancelled. Then on top of it said some ignorant stuff about gay people. 

DJ Johnson seems a little overrated to be honest. Even at 71

I think the last WR spot is going to come down to who can play special teams. 

Moore is a very good special teams guy, FWIW.

This is what I keep going back and forth on. If it’s pure merit, there is no way Coker isn’t on the team, but Horn and Moore offer more on special teams

I think Coker is basically a lock.  You have to separate out each WR position.   If XL or TMac can’t go…..who are inserting into their roles? 

it’s not Renfrow, AT, or Horn.   I mean you can but they all would suck.  And that’s assuming TMac will be ready and good enough for every down work to kick off the year

I think you carry 6.  Make Moore the odd man out.  

This is a good point I think. What concerned me about Coker is that he was a little redundant whereas some of lesser receivers may carve out a spot for themselves on special teams. I think you are right though, if Tet or Legette go down he is next man up.

I think the 7 straight losing seasons, the campaign to reduce fan interest during training camp and the lightspeed stupid decision to start charging for Fan Fest took a toll.

I only knew part of this. Good lord that’s dumb 

Thanks for posting! I was wondering why there wasn’t a thread! Anyone from the huddle go? Have any observations? I live out of state and so always appreciate getting to read highlights from training camp. It is the Hopeful time of year. 

Lester Townes was the first I thought of but he is lb. 

Really dig this. As an educator, I always love hearing grown-@$$ adults talking about and thinking about how they learn and what strategies they develop to serve their learning styles. Good stuff. 

I'm more interested in completion percentage and YPA (and wins of course), than yards or touchdowns. It's not too hard to imagine Young throwing for 3,900 yards in an abstract way. What is harder to imagine is who those yards are going to. That would probably require two 1000 pass catchers on our team. I don't know that we have two 1000 receivers on this team.
