What's Hoskins done to earn a roster spot? I had a quick look at the Colts footage this afternoon. He was getting stonewalled most plays - even got pancaked on one.

The first guy off the bus is the kicker!

Traded for a kicker and it wasn't Jose Borregales. I'm out. Clock is ticking on Fitterer and Rhule.

Thus far based on one pre-season drive? Ok.

I've just listed 4 guys that literally did nothing here - I only went back a decade (it's amazing how few 6th round picks we actually had). They drafted him as competition for Jansen - albeit Jansen plays a position like K that you can clearly play into your 40s (you're not even allowed to line up over the LS anymore). I wouldn't have spent a Draft pick on a LS, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it - they've drafted exceptionally well so far. And again, it's the positive exposure. You're always trying to push out positive / feel-good messages. That phone call went national (international if you include me).

You haven't seen Erving or Elflein play yet. Get back to me after 4 games.

Nah, we got a bunch of media exposure for that pick / phone call. He's already contributed more to the brand than Gaffney, Wilson, Williams, Pike et al.

Can we honestly not do this again? People cherry picking that ONE guy that we COULD have drafted instead of... That's the nature of the Draft. You win some, you lose a lot.

You're kidding yourself if you think him being unvaccinated wasn't a factor. As I understand it he's the only guy on the roster - and he makes us liable if we have a COVID outbreak. Being a Canes fan I'm very disappointed with Perryman, but the writing was on the wall.

That opening post by PJ - good lord.

He listens to the coaches, which is the main thing. He can be trained to hit those underneath passes Bridgewater was fond off. The make or break part of his career in Carolina is whether he hits those shot plays they call.

Fletcher was taken for the memes. No way he's beating out Jansen.

Why? It's a two year contract. These two are on rookie deals. Their 'big' contracts won't overlap.

Won't somebody think of the children?

But he asked me to trust him.

Coming from sports agents that's saying something.

They gave up a 2nd round pick and two day 3 picks for Darnold. They're not passing over a franchise QB for that investment. They clearly think Darnold is a better player than you do - and that Fields isn't as good as you think he is. We'll see who's right. I'm betting it's Rhule and Fitterer.

Which translates as "you ain't making the roster as a TE. You've got one game to prove you can block or you're toast".

You can dig that group as being terrifyingly poor?

He missed 3 XP too.

You do realise how this works, right? What's he meant to say? "Jesus, Joey Slye is dogshit. He's only here until we can get rid of him". That's not how you build a team. We'll be scouring the NFL for a replacement - we just won't actively tell the media that we're doing so.

NFL players only voted him the 44th best player in the league. They must be bitter.

It only takes one of them to pick up the only good kicker that is dropped to fug your plans. Be proactive, go get the guy you want. That guy is Jose Borregales.

I'm actually setting up a Dynasty league with friends - first time playing Fantasy Football for a while. It's quite daunting going back into this world.
