  1. Tolbert is a good blocker, plays fullback, and sadly might already have the best hands on the team. Line him up off tackle. Boom. Done.
  2. You yourself called him an H Back in the OP which is the definition of niche in today's NFL.
  3. We haven't even gotten started about the relative value of having a niche blocker under contract control for four years relative to every other position that isn't a kicker.
  4. A third rounder needs to not only contribute to a team, but do it quickly and substantially. Go back and look at the Panthers draft history over the past few years, specifically Hurney's end. One of the reasons the Panthers ate poo so hard was we weren't getting anything out of the third round. They were nailing the firsts, but they were drafting undersized projects. A few years ago a third rounder was called a first day pick, and you don't spend one of those on a guy who's position hasn't really been used since integration. As far as having good hands, who gives a poo if Nose tackles are going to be running him down from behind?
  5. you're basically advocating drafting Jeff King two rounds earlier.
  6. I think the main problems with Collins, regardless of how good of a player you think he is, is how much can he help the Panthers relative to another position. I wouldn't even be against taking a secondary player in the first if he was known as a coverage player. You have to build your team around your division, and no one in the South even bothers running the ball. Yeah it'd be nice to get a Kam Chancellor, but Seattle lucked in to him, and wasting very valuable resources to try to recreate that in Carolina is foolish. Even assuming he becomes worth the draft pick (whatever that means to you), is the relative improvement at the safety position as valuable as say Left Tackle? Or Wide Receiver? Two positions where there will be options? Probably not. Is that improvement at safety worth as much as say a first round pick in 2016 and an additional 2015 2nd, were that situation to arise? As far as drafting a blocking tight end in the third, that's just lunacy. You can find players like that on the street if you prioritize it. the Panthers already have a physically dominant tight end with little pass catching ability, who was ironically also a zod favorite.
  7. Collins only makes sense if A.)they can trade back and still grab him, which with the way he's falling kinda sounds plausible and B.) you really think Tre Boston can develop into a stud free safety, which meh... There will be better players than Collins available when the Panthers draft.
  8. Not really. DeAngelo has been poo for a while. he didn't magically start to suck once his mother died. 2014 was predictable based on his recent career trajectory. We don't need to psychoanalyze a north of 30 runningback because of his unsurprising decline.
  9. has any news been reported on this or is this thread just people talking about themselves
  10. lol caring about abs and not just getting strong enough to where you can effortlessly toss women over your shoulder and carry them to your cave
  11. You will not be able to move significant weight with KB squats. They're awkward to hold and are more of a stability exercise than anything else. They're fine as an accessory lift but shouldn't be a core part of your workout routine. Stick to back and front squats. TENS really isn't proven to do anything either way. I know many people like it as a form of recovery, and at the bigger crossfit competitions there's always a booth doing them, but I can't find a thing that actually says "hey this will help your recovery substantially." There's some evidence that cryotherapy places are very efficacious, but commercial joints typically aren't designed for any kind of serious athlete. Their core demographic are the elderly who need a quick boost of circulation, or rich women who just want to "tighten up" at the beginning of the day, since a lot believe it makes their skin look tighter or something. Basically they don't get cold enough if you have substantial muscle mass. There's only like one company that makes these things. The one at the olympic training facility in colorado gets like 30% colder, for example, according to my buddy travis cooper. Burning 500-800 calories in a sitting is absolute bullshit. The one time I went it was free and when they told me that I laughed in their face. also make sure to wear cotton underwear. I went in with some compression shorts and had to wear a sock over my dick.
  12. hmm yes turn your head to watch your form as you deadlift hmmmmmmmmmm HMMMMMMMMMMMM
  13. lol squeezing your shoulders someone can't deadlift heavy
  14. you need someone to teach you how to squat and deadlift properly though, and 9/10 some pt at planet fitness isn't that person.
  15. it's not possible to squat or deadlift without your upper body, specifically your core, doing a tremendous amount of work. don't think of things in a top/bottom dichotomy. if you're not engaging your core as tight as you can before you deadlift or squat you'll be heading to snap city. To give you an idea of how awesome deads are, if you deadlift and press, you'll effect 97 or so percent of the musculature in your body.
  16. once a week. deadlifts put too much of a strain on your CNS to really hit hard. Power lifters don't even go heavy more than that. they'll do accessory versions but those really aren't relevant to you if you're a novice lifter.
  17. In this case the prosecutor dropped the charges after the legal teams reached a settlement number that satisfied both parties. Whether or not there was any additional paperwork involved or her not showing up just sealed the deal is a state specific question. Either way, the hardy legal team clearly felt it was more beneficial to their client to pay to make her go away than to let the trial play out.
  18. Hardy just got paid 16 million to sit out the season and used a fraction of the money he was given to pay off his accuser after being found guilty in a court of law. He's not coming back.
