'Relatively' young; most kickers retire themselves because of under-performing, not age. Effective kickers play well into their 40's. I wouldn't want a rookie either. We already have a guy that can't handle pressure.

I don't think Haynes or Miller are true DEs. Both are undersized and are pure edge rushers. They are essentially the same guy and one-trick ponies. I would like to see one more traditional 4-3 DE added for depth. The depth at LB is questionable beyond Luvu, the #4 guy. I know Tremble likes to hit, but liking contact is not the only quality of a good FB. I'd prefer a guy that has done it routinely and understands how to lead block while being able to execute. Swing tackle and kicker are no-brainers.

Why would you chip on the 1-yard line? It seems he was more concerned about getting to the second level. Why? You have one yard, getting to the second level for a block is pointless. Again if you watch the clip, his focus was getting to a LB at the next level and not the DB right in front of him. I'm not sure if it was so much a chip as the defender was just in Thompson' way as he was looking for a LB to block...IN THE END ZONE.

I think we need to hit up the waivers for a K, FB, DE, LB and swing tackle. Slye is done and we don't have a legit FB on the roster. I am uncomfortable with the depth at DE, LB and OT. Theses 5 positions I would target after final cuts IF there's an upgrade available.

Colin Thompson screwed up the play by whiffing on his block. Had he blocked his man the hole was off tackle, between LT and the supposed block of Thompson, but he whiffed and a defender hit the gap causing Hubbard to bounce outside. At that point, the play was doomed. Re-watch the clip and look at the lazy attempt of a block by #86.

Sometimes the answer is right under your nose... Home Grown LT He's raw because he's traditionally been a guard and would be only his 2nd full season at LT, but his potential is off the charts. Read his pancake and knockdown stats....

Teams aren't carrying two kickers into the regular season; just hold out to final cuts and put a waiver in for the best one available. There's no need to trade unless the front office can acquire a ringer for a reasonable deal. That's going to take more than a 7th rounder though.

The chart is mislabeled, it should say "Panthers kicker Trend" instead of Ratings.

Yup, as bad of a team as we were last year, we would have been 7-9 if Slye didn't choke in the KC and Vikings games.

Their 3rd handily beat our 3rd string which doesn't matter because 3rd string players don't make it to the 53-man roster...but the Huddle is like ^^^^^. The 1's played decent.

But Hurney was magical with his first round selections! Wait, there's 7 rounds? Sh!t.....

Dude reminds me of myself in the 9th grade, but with a 9th graders body. Yes, a mullet and yes, a porn 'stash.

Actually he only counts about 200k versus the cap, but frees up nearly 800k. Peanuts if we find a suitable replacement.

Roy makes it, Nixon or Hoskins goes to the PS. Possibly in a surprise move we let Reid or Jones go and we keep both.

Day 3 draftees are barely more valuable than UDFAs. If the staff comes across someone that can come in and have an impact now, a 4th round draftee means little.

Understandable. I sent you a virtual beer. Cheers!

--Waived, he hasn't earned the right to IR. If he were a day 1 or day2 selection, maybe. While I wanted a CB where he was drafted in the 4th round, Pride himself was not high on my radar.

Sorry to hear that man. It sucks that this mess incurred our world.

I have an employee that can't come to work because she still tested positive 14 days out. By her own admission she feels completely fine. She needs the money and I need the labor, but due to a test, I am keeping her at home.

Yep, one side is convinced the other side is wrong, when honestly it's somewhere in the middle. Watch me get attacked for saying this; for not picking a side.

I'm holding out for a few preseason post-cut signings. We need about 4 dudes, LT, DE, LB and CB.

Like I said, the answer was pretty obvious, just looking for clarification.

Noted and it rhetorical anyhow.

Topical burn ointment. Oh, you meant the leg????
