Damn, I really liked her too. Good for her, but can we actually keep some good reporters instead of most of these slapdick ones?

Deonte Brown with the massive block for the TD, moved pretty good to slide to his spot

christensen is on the LEFT!!

I think he's still green in his playcalling at times, especially in the 2nd half when pressures on and you need to drive down the field, bit like others have stated he's learning. So as long as our offense keeps trending upward, then I'll consider it. But am I the only one that kinda gets a Chudzinski vibe from him? Another labeled genius that looked the part the first season, then fell into the dumpster the next before taking the Browns job.

Remember Matt Rhule worked both sides of the ball as well, and he's said he wants his coaches to be able to know as well because it only makes them better coaches. Which is why he made DB coach go to WR meetings, D line to O Line, etc. The more tools you can add to your tool chest just makes you a better coach imho.

Bringing in more coaches with NFL bloodlines. Couldn't hurt, I approve. Is that 3 now on staff? There's Tony Sparano's kid, Mike Lombardi's kid and now Gilbride. I would lean more towards bloodlines as well. Look how fast Chinn adapted, with his uncle being Steve Atwater; or Jaycee Horn and his dad Joe Horn, and he's had the right mindset; Christian McCaffery etc etc Works with coaches too, maybe to a lesser degree. But they know what's expected because they were raised in it and have the right mindset.

Yep, it was a slow news month apparently. Sometimes it feels like Jerry Springer is still on the air with what we see out there.

The only reason I could see us not resigning him next year is because DJs in a contract year too, and since he's home grown, younger, and balling, they might not be up to the prospect of paying 2 wide receivers 10+million contracts. I'd hate to see him go, so I hope it doesn't come to this.

their 1st round pick in 2022 for Terrace Marshall Jr. Like, now before he ever hit training camp or the regular season because Jerry loved him so much and regretted missing out on him. I mean I like him, he might turn out great, but he has a long injury history and as of right now, untested in the NFL. So I think I'd be okay with this hypothetical to double up our 1st round picks next year and get more draft capital for Fittsmagic to work with. What would you guys think if this happened?

All I'm saying is if he can move like that with a basketball at 415... imagine what he can do now at under 350?

Came across this Alabama spotlight, and it shows clips of him playing basketball... at 400 lbs. That big boys got some moves, so I'm glad to see he's not just a sit and maul kinda guard, he can actually move and has some athleticism to probably get out there at the second level to block.

Yeah could be. But it'd also be refreshing and different for people to just get interviewed and hired based on their merit and not based on friendship or association. Very refreshing, maybe almost 4D chess compared to the other 31 teams.

Seems like a cool dude that grew up on football. Not sure if there is any connection between him and Fitterer or someone else in that department, but wanted to dig up anything I could find and came up with this video when he was still with the WFT https://www.washingtonfootball.com/video/meet-the-scouts-cole-spencer-20363618

I get it. Most people wanna see the highlights on the field, but some others like me just really like to see the inner workings as much as possible because it's just such a fascinating and unique world. But if it was the Panthers choice to not have more than what they showed in the draft room, then that's fine. But if it's a possibility, for me I'd be totally down to see it. 'til then, I guess I'll just get my kicks from the aforementioned teams.

Meh, was mostly fluff. A compilation of most the videos they posted during the draft. The only thing unique was a Scott Fitterer interview in the middle so I'd recommend that. It's funny, you see the Colts, Bills and even the Browns putting out this videos with amazing production value and real behind the scenes stuff, and I wish we did that too. I know we started to last year, but it's been too long and infrequently.

Just saw this on the site. I know their bot will probably post it soon but thought Id share anyway https://www.panthers.com/video/panthers-huddle-new-look-draft-process

I like big guards, and I cannot lie.

I would agree with the 'absolutes' part, but there is precedence, now more than ever that college QB's are way more polished and have more snaps per capita than quarterbacks of yesteryear. Joe Burrow comes to mind. Kyler Murray Perhaps Zach Wilson will make that leap as well as Lance. Granted, it's still more of a gamble than someones who's done it consistently, but there's more coming that seem to be making the jump in the last few years, so I wouldn't completely discount it.

Me personally, my initial reaction is I definitely don't like it, and that it makes it easier to see who's who on the field based on their numbers. But I get that eventually, with teams retiring numbers, that eventually they'll run out at certain positions, so maybe it's inevitable. Still don't like it, but that's how I feel. What about you?

The new expanded rules now allow any position, minus lineman, quarterbacks and kicker/punters, to pick numbers between 1-49. While offensive positions from running back to wide receivers can also select 80-89 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/04/21/nfl-passes-expanded-jersey-number-rule/

Like probably most of you, I've been watching more tape on players, and specifically on some of the later round quarterbacks just to see what potential is out there. So while I was watching some game tape of QB David Mills from Stanford... this guy just kept popping off the screen, so much that I finally looked him up and started to just watch him, and it was really hard NOT to like the kid. 6'3 and 222 lbs, posting a 4.37 and 4.42 40-speed (he looks faster on tape), and makes acrobatic catches in ways that reminded me of Smitty. Just some crazy ball awareness and control. You listen to his interviews and he's got a good head on his shoulders too. ProFootballNetwork rates him as an early Day 3 https://www.profootballnetwork.com/simi-fehoko-nfl-draft-player-profile-stanford-wide-receiver/ PFF algorithm compares him to Hank Baskett, but I think he could be so much more. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-comps-stanford-cardinal-wr-simi-fehoko I know some have brought up maybe taking a receiver with the 1st pick. I'm not in that camp, but I would be pretty happy if we could get him in the 3rd round cutoff like we did with Chinn just to make sure. I'm not sure why the projections on him are Day 3, so I may be missing something. But see for yourself! What do you think?

"Chaos is a ladder..."

If he's a sample size of what Titans fans are like, then I can't wait to see his draft review

Mine last year was 4.5 This year I wanna agree and say 9.5, but I'm gonna go with 8.5 because of just the ambiguousness of how our offense is gonna go with Darnold. It all really falls to how he adapts and performs.
