So I was curious so I asked my wife about Peppers. She graduated high school with him. She said introverted was a good way to describe him. Quiet. Didn't talk to many people. She said he hated having any kind of spotlight on him.

There was a press conference Monday with Rhule. I doubt we see CJ in front of a mic for awhile. The first question is literally gonna be "are you nuts?"

Are PFF grades weighted in someway? Here's an example of what I mean. Olineman A allowed X, Y, and Z pressures, QB hits, and sacks from Dlineman A. BUT Dlineman A has a mediocre grade so all those pressures, QB hits, and sacks weigh more than if they had came from Aaron Donald. We'd expect to give up pressures to an elite guy but not so much a random scrub. If that is what is going on, then if your grades for the players are wrong, then your weights are wrong and thus your grades for your players are wrong.

Chargers offense score is really surprising to me.

You don't usually trade to fill in for a player for 2 weeks. But if we do this, who do we cut to make space for him?

You're right, this IS the most incredibly illegible, blurry screenshot ever shown!

Ideally we need a C. The middle is weak. Irving is not the weakest link on this line unfortunately. The answer for the G's are ****hopefully**** on the roster. I think changing the C out mid season would be nuts unless it's someone who's been with us since training camp - though I don't think tecklenburg is the answer there.

I agree. There is some risk but high reward. As for your disaster scenario? Nah. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play at all this year or is just a minimal depth player. If he's not playing next year, then it's a bust. IF there are issues going on behind the scenes, he may not be ready to play in a coupe weeks or months. This could be a longer term, months long process of getting his head right. It's speculation obviously, but I'm not going to call him a bust if he doesn't play this year. I think this is because we don't have a second. Basically some will view it as a 1st, no second, no third, the rest of the picks are garbage and have no value - essentially a 1 player draft, maybe 2 if we can get a kicker. "We don't need more depth" I think is a comment I've seen. This is mostly freak out over how to get 4 starting OL with only 1 valuable draft pick. (fyi, you always need more depth)

Not a turning point. I think a win means more than a loss as long as the players aren't deflated by losing. You look at teams like the Bucs or KC with losses, but their seasons aren't over and they are still playoff contenders, if not SB contenders. It's all on the players mentality afterwards. I think we win if our defense continues to do what it has done all year, and I think it will.

I think your feelings are going to get hurt.

Isn't he from south Florida, Miami area? I was thinking about this yesterday, Jacksonville is about 6 hours away from his home area. That's practically another state. It's not like they are a short drive from each other. It's a significant drive or plane trip. NC would be further but same thing basically, significant drive or a plane trip.

Perryman did nothing while he was here. Literally. Didn't even practice. Great for him where he is, but he wasn't doing anything here. Jags specifically asked for Arnold. We did not want to give him up, but wanted Henderson more than Arnold.

I really love this channel. JT O'sullivan does a good job breaking down QB play. He points out Darnold going through his progressions and fitting balls into tight windows. This is a break down of his game against Houston.

Wildcard. If we beat the <.500 teams and lose to the >.500 teams on our schedule, we could have 10-12 wins depending on how things go. We could legit end up in the playoffs without beating any playoff contenders.

If CJ slides right in and plays well and Bouye plays decently, our secondary looks not terrible. It might work out, but it definitely hinges on how well those two fit in this week. The defense has been playing as a well oil machined and I'm hoping changing out a couple parts doesn't fug with that too much.

Not sure what to think of this. I suppose we can afford to lose Arnold if another one of our 5 TE's can take his production, which isn't much. Losing a 3rd though, I feel like we won't have much of a draft this year. I guess we're pretty much guaranteed to be trading down our first this year. I don't know enough about the CB to say if it's worth it or not.

Not necessarily. They got their starting DE and starting CB back this week. There will always be some kind of lingering doubt if we could have pulled off a win with against their defense if it wasn't missing key pieces plus half their coaching staff missing. I don't think that's a fair way to look at it because it's the NFL, but it is what it is. If we lose to the Cowboys, will anyone question their win with us missing our best offensive weapon and arguably our best DB? Doubt it.

Yeah, to me, it obviously wasn't too serious. I'm glad that's confirmed. All in all though, I'm far more concerned with the defense. But at the end of the day it's a team, and we're about to see if this defense is a team beyond just the individual efforts.

That's odd. If I was a Seahawks fan, I'd have been cheering for the AFC team.

Apparently we worked out 3 other RBs in addition to Duke.

Yeah...some of these fans are calling us the Carolina Jets or the Jets South. Ugh. They think we have their coaching staff, their QB, their WR1. Makes me throw up in my mouth a bit.

No poo between the refs then the injuries, it was frustrating to watch.

I read this ^ Then I read this ^

Sure! Right after we shore up our oline with first round LT. We probably could actually throw a late first at another lineman the year after. About this time we'll want to put another high pick into the dline. And I imagine somewhere in those few years there will be a can't miss guy that falls to us that we take because BPA.
