Yea im just not excited. Basically our 3rd string players from last preseason. Vilain though... I gotta do my homework on 'em. Silver lining is ...despite the early returns I know damn well by the start of the season we'll be somewhat competitive at the position.

Haynes is a FA I think.. DJ Johnson is all that is left.

Yetur was actually starting to come into his own.

"One of the perks of signing on as Head Coach was not having to worry about the defense" Well I hope Dan didn't make these moves without a plan in place. Either that or Canales is planning on putting up 40+ everyweek... Granted this offseason is far from complete but as of right now counting our own fa's it looks like: Brown-Tuttle-(??) (??)-Shaq-(??)-(??) Horn-Hill Woods - (??) The optimist in me says we'll find a way to field something competitive. I'd think you'd want to keep that defense intact as much as possible especially if we're planning on being such a run heavy team. That D wasn't the reason we only won 2 games. I'm not saying resign every player but damn that Luvu move hurts. Yea we've gotta have a helluva plan coming up from this point to training camp.

Evero is somewhere punching a wall... In a week ...he's lost 4 of his 11 starters... 3 ex team Captains at that. Yea.... this isn't over... we HAVE to have some moves coming down the pipeline. Smdh... There were only 2 players on this defense that you don't let walk..and we just let 1.

Restructure??? How does he still have a spot? Sullivan intrigues me in the passing game and Tremble just needs more targets imo. I thought we were going all in on "the dawgs"... Morgan must have talking to talk. Ian Thomas might be one of the softest TE's I ever remember seeing. Literally rare that he gets a first down when he has to run through contact....I wouldn't even put money on him vs a place kicker on a one on one drill. Maybe I'm exaggerating since they view him as such a great blocker. Even from a mental standpoint, he doesn't strike me as the "hate to lose" type of player. But hopefully I'm wrong. I only get to see a portion of the picture. Fact still remains...we need less CJ Henderson's and more Adam Thielen's/Derrick Brown's..attitude wise.

They should cut their loses. We already fugged ourselves with the Rams offer then then turning down every deal this year for Burns. Make that non exclusive for one first and call it. Who the hell is giving up 2 first for Brian Burns? I just don't see it after last season. Or he can play here under the tag and half ass it again.

Crazy part is Brown is only 25 and probably a season or two away from his peak. Extend that man. 13 sacks from the interior is wild though.

Bad move imo... ISM is/was one of the few bright spots on Offense. Hell we had 2 wins and dude was still running his ass off every snap. And one of the few players that actually showed explosive ability. AND he's probably our biggest return threat since Tedd Ginn Jr. Sure let's create another hole. Also makes me wonder if they're targeting Ainias Smith in the 3-4 range. Surely your not drafting Xavier Worthy or Keon Coleman to revamp your WR room and then placing them on punt duty.

Probably best for both parties .. And I keep forgetting we have Jordan Matthew's at TE

I guarantee Tremble likes this hire lol. As far as LSU connects: It's 32 picks before us and imo maybe 10 receivers with first to top 2nd talent. Maybe 3 teams with 6 of those WRs. 4-5 Qbs, Maybe 2 TE's, 8 Offensive Lineman, 7 dbs, 6 DE/OLB, 2 MLBs, and maybe 6 DT's. We might not have a first rounder but we should definitely leave Day 2 with a first round talent. And at the very least our newly acquired coach should provide an extra insight in the draft room.

That TE is 6'7 260 lbs... that's WILD. Huge security blanket. As is Coleman and Thomas. Just throw it up. I think Coleman has the best hands but Thomas reminds me Harrison Jr a lil minus the route running. They haven't even grown into their frames yet. Malik Washington is going to be a good one. Worthy was my fav b4 the 40... he priced himself out of our range but Mitchell is good as well. Side note: That TCU TE is going to a nightmare to tackle as he gets stronger.

Donte when healthy is actually decent. Before this season dude had like 14-15 ints since being drafted. That said, Troy Hill outplayed him last year. Resign that man.

Yea he'll probably go back end of the first after that. Pick 32.

Chubba is still under contract? I thought this was his last year last season. Gladly mistaken. You can tell he's not a "take half the plays off" type of player. Even down to blocking. And after watching that Mic'd up segment, it wouldn't surprise me if he eventually became a captain. He just needs to keep working on his hands.

It's one thing I'm fairly certain will happen. The RB's will be getting ALOT of work next season. I guarantee you he heavily watched the Wilks, Frank, and Chris era's. Probably the end of Rhule's stay as well. As he should.

Props for mentioning ISM!!! I'd actually like to have Shenault and ISM on our roster just for the creativity we'd get from Canales. Shenault for the screens especially. ISM for the return ability..but also AGAIN I'll say he has the most upside of any receiver on our roster currently. I just dunno if you resign what in essence are two gadget players with potential. Side note: Iirc right before I saw that PFF video I could have swore either Canales or Morgan said that Chubba is going into this season as the #1 rb w/ Sanders behind him. Guess we're resigning Chubba (which I like as I feel he hasn't peaked yet) Side Note 2: Did bro on the right say alot of people like Zavala despite his mid 20 pff score...lol

I want Azeez Al Shaair in that mix

Canales being here brings a new change to an old program. His scheme alone should improve the offense. But honestly we could take a player at almost any position except safety with the holes we have. The most important would be a lineman imo. Canales will drill that release by 2.7 second theory into Bryce's head like he did Baker. The line has to be able to hold for those 3 seconds though. Also....an OL pick instantly improves every offensive position. If we address need in FA somehow, then BPA is the plan. Having the first pick in the 2nd round should get us alot of offers. Expect the trade down.

Idunno, Curtis Samuel was pretty good by his 3rd year, esp the 4th. He might be the only one though. Lafell was decent. Funchess was tolerated by year 3. All more effective than TMJ. Yea u might be right lol.. hopefully Mingo pans out.

I'm about 100% positive he'll be a Panther long term before Burns. And while we're at it ... for the "culture"...resign Brown, Shaq (min), Franklin, and ISM. Have a long look at Troy Hill, Chubba and Shenualt. Sanders, Thomas and Hurst need paycuts and extend Moton. The names above play hungry, aggressive and have either an "it" factor for their role or a strong leadership quality. DONOT pay Burns 30 a year. He's good to have but his production doesnt match his asking price. But Luvu... hell yes, shouldn't even be a discussion. Pay that man. And promote whoever found him. Ironically I think it was Morgan.

Yup...now that I recall wat i read, ur def right. I had already forgot that AI is basically everywhere for a second.

That article is so well written most of the uninitiated might miss the layers of satire throughout lol. Minus the introduction.

Between our GM looking at talent, attitude, and will to win ontop of our HC's experience and emphasis on looking for and coaching proper technique and fundamentals ...even without a 1st... it wouldn't shock me if this ironically ended up as one of our better drafts. It's deep imo... and if you need a playmaker it's quite a few at each tier. If we could manipulate the cap to get us (not all stars) just upgrades in FA a BPA draft could set us up nicely. As for the senior bowl besides Ladd (wait until the combine) it's a couple LB's out there worth a look.

In his press conference Canales mentioned two players by name. Bryce and Chubba. Playing us to our strengths. Which would make our Oline better and would probably lead to Bryce running alot of RPO's. But wouldn't that make RB a huge need. Idunno wat happened to Sanders and Chubba is a fringe starter. Do we resign Chubba, draft a guy like Corrum or do we look for at FA ala Foreman again? Keep in mind our cap space.
