I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

Can't wait until we extend Bryce(!)

I hope Freeling is a stud, but he's a roll of the dice. He's far from the finished product. Our OLine coach was giving him pointers at his Pro Day - he knows how much work Monroe has to put in. From a size / weight / agility standpoint he's the prototype LT. He needs to clean up his technique as he's winning on athleticism a lot at the moment, which won't fly in the NFL.

Genuinely, if they lined up at the Rookie Mini Camp tomorrow, Bain would run through Freeling. The hope is that in 2 years time he's developed his technique enough (Freeling) that he'll be able to effectively block Bain.

Ah so you're a *****. Fair enough, best put you on ignore then.

He had 5 sacks in the Playoffs, against the best teams in the nation. I mean, I don't know what to tell you if you can't see that.

There you go, the Rams. Nobody else was taking Ty Simpson in the first round.

Yeah that's definitely his kid.

Let's hope so.

He fell to 15. We picked at 19. It became doable and I think we'll regret sitting on our hands.

I wouldn't even bet on us winning the NFC South. All four teams had excellent Drafts.

Did you read the article? It's all about trading and navigating the Draft...

Lee Hunter dropped weight for the Senior Bowl and Combine and it benefitted him greatly - he was far too top heavy in College. He was playing NT (and overweight - like Scourton during his last year at Texas A&M) for the benefit of the team. I don't think he's naturally big enough to play as a 3-4 NT like Cam Jackson who actually carries that weight well. I think he's a 3-4 DE in a similar mode (although not as powerful) to Derrick Brown.

Rueben Bain - the guy that's going to wreck our OLine for the next 5+ years.

I assume Al Wallace lives in the Carolinas somewhere and has a good deal of his income tied to a media job with the Panthers?

I do feel like I'm living in an alternate reality. Everything Scott said there is bonkers - they're happy not outscoring teams (his actual words), they're happy with 185 yards a game and playing ball control, Young has more value here than on any other team in the NFL. That's a man with job security who's sipping the Panthers Kool Aid. The other NFC South GMs are dying for Morgan to extend Young. That tells you everything - he's holds this offence back and is such a replacement level player. I get they're embarrassed that they traded the world (and crippled the franchise) for him a few years ago, but they simply have to move on.

Good article, but no mention of the generational prospect they let fall to the Bucs...

"In fact, they’ve worn silver pants just six times since 2023. Compare it to the number of times they’ve worn black (20), white (15) or process blue (11) pants in those same seasons and you start to wonder how long it’ll be before they promote their black alternate helmets to primary status and phase out silver entirely" Basically this - just eliminate silver from the colour scheme. Maybe experiment with white matte helmets as an alternate to the black ones too.

Yeah I think 9 is very generous. We don't have a quality starter. We know Grier can't play in this league and Pickett is poor. It's the worst room on the roster by some distance.

We know he can't see over the middle - just ask Jessie Bates.

Hecht for me.

It's a very hot take because he's done absolutely nothing to rectify the problem.

Tepper only picked Young. He wasn't picking Johnson et al.

Franchise crippling Draft. We're still digging ourselves out of that hole.

C I can understand, people seem to really, really love Hecht (and to be fair his Senior tape is sensational). S I'm more dubious about, Evero seems to love him some Nick Scott and we're obviously not benching Moehrig as he's one of our best players.
