Arriola is off to Dallas so that rumor did not come to fruition.

Thinking Swiderski will be announced sometime next week. With that said I’m going to adjust the roster just a bit based off of what I’m seeing in camp. GK - Kristijan Kahlina (XI), Pablo Sisniega (SUB), Adrian Zendejas (SUB), George Marks (SUB) LB - Christian Fuchs (XI), Joseph Mora (SUB), Adam Armour (SUB) CB - Anton Walkes (XI), Jan Sobocinski (SUB) CB - Christian Makoun (XI), Guzman Corujo (SUB) RB - Jaylen Lindsey (XI), Harrison Afful (SUB) CDM - Jordy Alcivar (XI), Sergio Ruiz (SUB), Chris Hegardt (SUB) CM - Alan Franco (XI), Brandt Bronico (SUB) CM - Christian Ortiz (XI), Ben Bender (SUB) LW - Yordy Reyna (XI) CF - Karol Swiderski (XI), Vinicius Mello (SUB), Kyle Holcomb (SUB) RW - McKinzie Gaines (XI) This would be the current makeup of the roster but I think Reyna may start at left wing with Swiderski as the striker and I think we will add a starting RW with Gaines coming on as a sub. I think we may see two additional wingers added and one more attacking midfielder so that Bender isn’t pressed into action to early.

Charlotte FC has just submitted a new record bid for Paul Arriola.

LaMelo literally go the triple-double on Schroeder’s last shot. 15-10-10

JB pissed again… Bridges, Rozier, and LaMelo chest bumping off the windmill and didn’t get back… gave up an open dunk on the other end.

We aren’t in this game if Oubre isn’t back tonight. Oubre and McDaniels have been great.

JB his hot at LaMelo for that last shot.

GK - Kristijan Kahlina (XI), Pablo Sisniega (SUB), Adrian Zendejas (SUB), George Marks (SUB) LB - Joseph Mora (XI), Christian Fuchs (SUB), Adam Armour (SUB) CB - Anton Walkes (XI), Jan Sobocinski (SUB) CB - Christian Makoun (XI), Guzman Corujo (SUB) RB - Jaylen Lindsey (XI), Harrison Afful (SUB) CDM - Jordy Alcivar (XI), Chris Hegardt (SUB) CM - Alan Franco (XI), Christian Ortiz (SUB), Ben Bender (SUB) CM - Sergio Ruiz (XI), Brandt Bronico (SUB) LW - ? CF - Karol Swiderski (XI), Yordy Reyna (SUB), Vinicius Mello (SUB), Kyle Holcomb (SUB) RW - McKinzie Gaines (SUB) We are now at 25 players, I’d expect three wingers to get us to 28. The final two spots will probably be filled in future transfer windows.

This hasn’t officially been announced by the team but TopBin90 hasn’t let me down yet. Swiderski is a member of the Polish international team and currently has six goals in 14 caps, only trailing the great Robert Lewandowksi this year. This is a great signing.

Well it’s halftime on primetime and we haven’t poo the bed yet so that’s nice.

LaMelo is gonna get benched if he doesn’t stop turning the ball over.

They act like they have all this intel but it’s all for clicks. A lot of their followers have caught on.

DKM is the worst, he thinks he has inside info but he’s full of poo.

Howell will definitely throw… heck, he’s even accepted an invite to the senior bowl. Howell is a smart dude and will take advantage of every opportunity he has. He knows the senior bowl is his only chance to play behind a good offensive line all year. One of the main narratives from Tar Heel fans is that Howell simply didn’t have help this year. If he performs well in all of the activities leading up to the draft then he can give credence to that notion and really help his draft stock.

They are fuging with us at this point… Said goal was to hire someone with real NFL experience… so what do the Panthers do… interview someone with just a little more NFL experience than Joe Brady and much less NFL experience than Jeff Nixon.

Glad we got Kelly back. I’m hopeful that we ball out on prime time.

More rumors. Swiderski would be a phenomenal signing.

Ortiz has most recently played on the wing but it looks like Charlotte will use him as a midfielder. Updated Roster GK - Kristijan Kahlina (XI), Pablo Sisniega (SUB), Adrian Zendejas (SUB), George Marks (SUB) LB - Joseph Mora (XI), Christian Fuchs (SUB), Adam Armour (SUB) CB - Anton Walkes (XI), Jan Sobocinski (SUB) CB - Christian Makoun (XI), Guzman Corujo (SUB) RB - Jaylen Lindsey (XI), Harrison Afful (SUB) CDM - Jordy Alcivar (XI), Chris Hegardt (SUB) CM - Alan Franco (XI), Christian Ortiz (SUB), Ben Bender (SUB) CM - Sergio Ruiz (XI), Brandt Bronico (SUB) LW - ? CF - Yordy Reyna (XI), Vinicius Mello (SUB), Kyle Holcomb (SUB) RW - McKinzie Gaines (SUB) We are currently at 24 players, the expectation is that we will sign two forwards and two wingers to get us to 28 players leaving the remaining two spots open for the next transfer window.

Every time Jack Edwards sees Hatford green walk through the door at TD Garden he has a stroke. Worst announcer in hockey. I specifically watched the highlights from NESN so I could hear the pain in his voice.

Primetime game… please don’t fug this up.

Saw a few Canes fans on the tele, I wonder if we spotted you.

I’m not a fan of Pickett either but I can understand to a point why some people are. Whoever drafts him is essentially hoping that he had a Joe Burrow glow up. The issue is that Burrow beat about 7 nationally ranked teams and set all sorts of records on the way to a National Championship. Pickett on the other hand beat up on a poor ACC. I do like Howell. For me it all comes back to him being able to put everything together. His first two years he was one of the top passers of the football while not having much of a presence in the run game. This past year he struggled throwing the ball a bit but he was phenomenal on the ground. Can he put two and two together and become a Russell Wilsonesque QB? The big question for Howell is can he be a franchise QB. A franchise QB might have been able to get a little more out of UNC last year. I get that he lost a ton of production but if he’s drafted high he isn’t going to be in a field of sunshine and daisy’s… it’ll be a pit of hellfire and brimstone. If we’re looking at a QB, I’d probably trade down between 12-15 and take Howell.

For us in particular I don’t think either is a good option. Both Howell and Pickett seem like better fits. Howell has shown that he can do it all, now he just needs to do it all at one time. Pickett on the other hand could be a late boomer or he could have taken advantage of being the most experienced player in the ACC. Regardless, both can start right away. I just don’t think either is going to be a top 10 QB at anytime in this league. Willis and Strong probably both need to sit for different reasons. Also, Strong very well could have a great career. Eli Manning did and he’s as unathletic as they come. You just have to wonder about Strong’s ability to process a defense with his lack of athleticism to by him time. The game will move much quicker in the NFL than it does in the Mountain West. I think a good example is watching his tape against Kansas State. He had a decent game but the game moved much quicker for him and he doesn’t have the athleticism to make up for it. Then you watch Willis play Virginia Tech and you see that he’s raw and erratic but he’s so athletic that he can make up for it even playing at a high level. Pro’s and cons to both if those guys but both need to sit.

Just don’t see it with Strong. The Nevada offense was perfect for him and he took full advantage. His ability to go through his reads at a much faster pace with no mobility whatsoever is going to be a huge question mark. If you watch majority of Strong’s games you’ll see him go with his first read because: 1. Nevada has a good offensive scheme that is tailored to the short passing game or one on one deep shots on the outside. 2. Strong has a great arm and can make every throw. 3. The level of competition was poor and many times Strong’s first read was open. Strong was sacked 35 times this past year which puts him in the bottom fourth of the NCAA in sacks. Some of that is due to Nevada’s offensive line which is in the middle of pack in the Mountain West, but a lot of times it’s because Strong is holding on to the ball too long when his first quick route isn’t available. Because his mobility is limited it puts him at a pretty big disadvantage. If you want to see what Strong will look like in the NFL then just watch Ben Roethlisberger from this past year. Strong will make some great throws but his athleticism and inability to come off his first read as soon as it’s not there will be a hinderance in the NFL where you only have three seconds to throw the football. You can put on Josh Allen’s college tape and just see the difference in how a top tier QB processes his reads and uses his legs to extend plays so that he can go through all of his reads. If you have to take a QB this year then you take Howell because over the past three years he’s shown he can do everything. It’s more about putting it all together at one time. If you have the luxury of taking a QB and letting him sit (teams like Washington, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Miami, Denver, and Detroit) then you take a risk on Willis because he is the true boom or bust QB in the class.
