Moved from S to LB in his senior year of HS and racked up 139 tackles. University of Minnesota alumni who played LB + ST during his freshman season. His sophomore season he was named to the Academic All-Big Ten team and recorded 43 tackles (his best game came against Nebraska where he notched 8 tackles and a forced fumble). Finished his junior year with 80 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and 4 PBUs (had a team high 13 tackle game vs. Iowa as well as a 12 tackle + 1 sack performance vs. Rutgers) before being named to the Academic All-Big Ten for a second time. His senior year (2017), he started every game and was second on the team in tackles (78) while also picking up a fumble recovery as well as a pick 6. He had a career-high 15 tackle game against Maryland that year and was on a Minnesota team that beat Illinois + Nebraska. He received the Carl Eller Award (most valuable defensive player) and was Minnesota's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award nominee. Majored in kinesiology. Ran a 4.70 40-yard dash during his pro day and put up 27 reps on the bench while capping out with a 32.5" vertical. Originally UDFA that signed with the Falcons, was later signed by the Chargers and released a month later. Was added to the Jets practice squad for the duration of 2018. Signed in 2019 with the Panthers before eventually playing for the XFL's DC Defenders in 2020 (30 tackles during the pandemic shortened season). Was signed to play for the IFL's Massachusetts Pirates before getting worked out and eventually signed by Carolina. He was also signed at the beginning of the summer to be a strength & conditioning graduate assistant for his alma mater.

11s getting rdy to start

Nah, I was just commenting on half the folks calling TB not being solid while I was on the half hoping he'd be decent

To be fair, I was shooting 3 Wisemen and just wanted to point out that his deep ball wasn't that bad when he has both knees working and an OL that can give him longer than 2.5sec to let the play develop. But I also didn't say that Herbert didn't have arm talent when it was clearly on display. Kinda like folks that thought Gabbert was the #1 prospect when he was 0/1 on passes of 40+ yards the year he declared.

You mean Shaq had to play without another LB next to him unless Jermaine was on the field?

I could see the team being willing to invest in a known commodity given the circumstances of this draft class. Big fan of getting more chances with more picks when there is a lot of uncertainty with the draft class.

His knee injury really affected his ability to take deep shots. He was always a smart player without elite arm talent, but his deep ball really wasn't that bad until he took that shot. After that, everything started to decline as evidenced by the game splits and passing charts. Any other player would get some type of understanding with being on a team with a new coaching staff, a COVID-impacted offseason, getting hurt, a porous OL, missing their #1 weapon, and not having a TE worth a damn on the roster. I was surprised that they moved on from him as well, but getting a chance on a 3rd overall pick for a 2nd while also getting draft capital for Teddy was some solid maneuvering by Fitterer. I knew TB was going to be disparaged relentlessly when I saw folks still clinging to Cam and refuting film + stats in favour of bitching about Teddy's contract. Outside of mentioning the call coming in late on the bad throw to DJ, he was an excellent teammate as evidenced by receiving the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award (which is determined by the players). Wish nothing but success for him. It's all in on Sam Darnold time now though.

Anyone been playing? I haven't gotten to play this week so I'm still waiting try out Goldlewis, but was very surprised they hadn't smacked Sol with the nerf bat (and I've been a Sol main since the original Guilty Gear!) Tho I'm playing Giovanna in Strive, I might have to go back to my Sol roots if they're not gonna do anything about his damage and far S.

When the folks that were influenced by politicians that downplayed the virus die off, maybe. Herd immunity requires 70% - 90% vaccination rates (measles is so contagious that it requires 95%). Unfortunately, Florida might get there first by killing children. Crazy how the same folks that were tweeting #SaveOurChildren and having aneurysms over the suggestion of defunding the police are in favor of defunding education.

It's like people were warned that if they didn't take the virus seriously and work together to prevent its spread that it would inevitably mutate which would lead to a second pandemic. bUt mUh hAIrcUt fuging spreadnecks smh

Literally vacationing right now in Florida and every time the news airs it is talking about how hospitals are overwhelmed and trying to show folks how dangerous the virus is. Even more so than in SC. You're trying to force your beliefs over knowledge and it's pretty gross tb100. Also, hospitalizations are down in general due to folks getting vaccinated as it doesn't prevent infection but rather gives your body a chance to fight and win.

DJ going up to get it!

Example of Sam Franklin's tough Thursday.

Yesterday's TD to Omar Bayless over Jaycee Horn

Love the picks! Still need a big, and while I'm not a fan of Plumlee the Hornets basically got paid to take on his contract. Rly excited to see the development of Kai Jones and JT Thor!!

Back up QB tweets

Sam Franklin and Myles Hartsfield were talked up as potential future starters yesterday by Rhule after Franklin had a good day. Sounds like today was a step back. Will look to see him bounce back

For the YGM fans

I see that Perryman plans to live on the IR still

Terrace Marshall is having a good second day it sounds

Really excited to see if YGM's development trends up this season. He'll get a year rotating in for Reddick and could very well start in years 3 & 4 of his rookie deal.
