Is there still a chance something happens and the trade doesn’t go through, or is it already a done deal? I don’t want to get hyped up only to be super disappointed.

We currently have the second most cap space available. I know we probably want to carry it over to next season but we could off a 2 year deal and front load the hell out of it so it has little effect on next years cap space.

Hope they get their poo pushed in tonight so we can finish off their season before it even starts.

I think it has more to do with Darnold being more willing to push the ball down field. Robby played in the slot way more last year compared to this season. The amount of times DJ was wide ass open 15-20 yards down field last season only to have Teddy throw a 5 yard slant to Robby was fuging infuriating.

There is a reason DJ Moore is having the best start a Panther receiver has had since Steve Smith. This doesn't happen with Teddy still at QB.

Lol how are you not doubling Adams on that drive

Winston did that same bs throw against us and they ruled it incomplete lol

Glad to see they’re looking at bringing in a reliable pass catcher out of the backfield. Duke Johnson will be able to fill in like Fozzy Whittaker all those years. Crazy to think it takes 3 guys to fill in for everything CMC is able to do by himself.

Statistically they are currently better.

I personally feel the defensive line has been so good it’s hard to accurately judge him so far. Regardless, he has been a welcome addition to the defensive

3-0 Baby! Next man up.

The Saints offensive line is very good and Winston had just thrown for 5 TDs. Coaches don’t block, run, and throw the ball. That game was this defense’s most impressive so far. Complete domination on all levels.

Surprisingly Dallas’s offensive line has been pretty shaky this year. Pass protection hasn’t been great and their running game has been underwhelming. I fully expect this defensive line to continue feasting.

There aren’t many vet corners available. Richard Sherman is old and only played 5 games last year. We could sign Rasul Douglas off the Cardinals practice squad since he is familiar with the defense but he fell off hard the second half of the season. Gareon Conely could be an option if he’s finally healthy. Played some decent football (although underwhelming for where he was drafted) until he started getting plagued by injuries. We signed a bunch of injury prone guys this offseason and he’s only 26 so you never know. Corn Elder is on the practice squad and can play the slot. Other than that there isn’t really much out there.

Yeah also knowing the NFLPA is trying to make a point I’m sure who ever is doing the research and coming up with the number is obviously doing it in the favor of the NFLPA. Still, even if it’s only a small percentage increase, it can still be completely avoided by just having everyone use the same grass field.

I went back to check and the research that the NFLPA presented to the NFL in 2020 stated that it was actually 88% for ACLs and 32% for ankle/foot injuries.

The defensive line has now dominated against two really good pass blocking offensive lines. That will make any DBs job easier.

Soccer play don’t make nearly they type of cuts and moves an NFL player does. According to data on football players, the likelihood for knee injuries is 69% higher on turf.

Not a knock on Horn but we have yet to see him have to play when a QB has all day to throw. Our pass rush has been so good it’s making the secondaries lives very easy. Loom back at who our corners where in 2013 when Johnson and Hardy were wreaking havoc on QBs. We went 12-4 that year.

Exactly. I’m not worried about him as a runner. He has to be able to catch those critical passes.

That articles data was from soccer. The one I pulled my numbers from was football. I don’t think the NFLPA would try to get turf banned if it was a real issue.

For a League that preaches about player safety it would be one of the easiest things they could do to protect players. The numbers are pretty staggering. A player is basically 33% more likely to get injured on turf compared to grass. That fuging insane. And yet our owner who is all about modern analytics and sports science just ripped up our beautiful grass field for that poo. Shows where his interests really are… $$$$$.

I’ll give them credit, the Texans aren’t as terrible as people thought they were going to be. Their organization is thrash though. They Beat the hell out of the Jags and could have beat the Browns with a little more luck on their side and People think the Browns are Super Bowl contenders this year. There is also basically no Tape on Davis Mills which was a huge advantage for them. This 3-0 start isn’t a fluke. Our defense is insane currently and Darnold is playing really good football. That’s a winning recipe in the NFL.

Our Pass rush is insane currently and could be a major reason why Horn has looked so good right out of the gate. We’ve yet to see him have to cover when a QB has all day to throw. This team reminds me of the 2013 team that went 12-4 and should haven’t beaten the 49ers in the playoffs if weren’t for terrible refs. That team was starting guys like Melvin White and Drayton Florence at corner. CJ and Hardy were so good that year it didn’t matter who we had back there. With Bouye added to the mix and hopefully another vet FA for added depth (already have seen people suggesting a guy like Richard Sherman) I’m not overly worried about the defense with this front 7. As for McCaffrey, boy that one hurts. We really need to bring in a guy who can consistently catch the ball out of the backfield. Hubbard can become a nice player but he already dropped 2 or 3 wide open passes. Reggie Bonnafon was nothing special but he shared a similar skill set to McCaffrey allowing us to not have to alter the offense. Surprisingly Mike Davis ended up being a decent receiver out of the backfield which helped Teddy tremendously. The NFL is crazy man. I never count us out of the Super Bowl especially when we have a winning record. Hell the last two times this team started 3-0 we made it the the Super Bowl.

I absolutely hated the fact that Tepper decided to ditch the grass for turf in the offseason. I get it is a penny pinching move and even with all the money he is saving he still isn't having the end zones painted black. The NFLPA was pushing to have turf banned last year although I don't know what ever came of it. Clearly the NFL doesn't care nor does our owner as we just switched our field. I'm wondering how Tepper is feeling after seeing our first round pick and our best player go down on non contact injuries due to turf. I did some research on turf and some of the number are pretty staggering. For a league that preaches player safety this is just insane. Thursday Night Football is another safety issue all on it own. Take FIFA for example. For as terrible and corrupt an organization as FIFA, they are at least smart enough to not allow turf to ever be used in the World Cup. Oh and Tepper using the excuse to move to turf for our incoming MLS team, the majority of Pro European Football clubs play on grass and if a club wants to use turf it has to be approved by FIFA. Look at it this way, Horn and McCaffrey would still be healthy right now if they would have been playing on grass. Ban turf and do away with Thursday Night Football please and thank you.
