Well, I've actually been coming on here for a while. My name is Sean. I live in Mt. Holly. And, well, I'm a HUGE Miami Dolphins fan. I do pull for Carolina of course. I like the site. It's got a very relaxed "personality." I'm normally on Finheaven.com, but come here from time to time to say hello, wish the Pathers luck, or share info if I have any. A little info about me: Obviously, I love football. I played football (QB) from Pop Warner into College before I tore ligaments in my left knee and ankle. After my college career was pretty much shot, I played semi- pro for several seasons in Charleston, SC and California and had an opportunity to go to Italy to play but my legs continued giving me problems, so I hung up the cleats. I have coached Pop Warner football for 8 years. I actually started coaching when i was still playing. Coaching is much safer. :-) Well, that's my football background in a nutshell.

I play guitar, sing, write songs, and am working on a novel and a book of short stories. So if you share any of these interests, give me shout.

I look forward to shooting the bull with you guys and gals more in the future. Take it easy!

So what storylines are you guys most looking forward to in the Preseason?

Moore v. McCown - Really interested in this. Jake is our starter for sure, but with the team we have we can't afford to have a bad season because one guy got hurt. If Jake goes down these guys need to be able to pick up the slack. Moore has proven he can do that when healthy and McCown is a veteran who is capable. I'd like to see Moore win, but I think it's a dead heat for the 2 spot.

Return Man - Really interested to see how Carter and Robinson have recovered from injury, if they show any rust. Also, everything that has come out of camp says that Goodson can contribute in the running game, passing game and even the return game. I think we have a lot of options to look at here and thankfully so because this always seems like a position of need every year.

Passing game - More specifically Jarrett and Barnidge. Moose and Smitty have the first two spots locked up and in a run first offense King will get most of the TE looks, but these guys are the future with much more upside. Barnidge might be limited again, but needs to show more improvement and the time is now for Jarrett. There is no reason he shouldn't have a full grasp on the entire offense and be poised for a big year. I think there is a lot of pressure on these guys to do something significant in the Preseason to set the tone.

DT?? - Really looking forward to see what young guy will step up and make a name for himself or between Johnson and Brayton and even Peppers what kinda success will they have if they need to slide those guys inside? Meeks needs to be creative and I'm excited to see what kinda looks he throws at teams in his trial run as DC.

What are you guys looking forward to in the Preseason?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
