Kug is cut

[Riverboat Ron]

Not Kugzilla!

[Mr. Scot]

My memory may be faulty on this, but I seem to remember that Kugbila (or Amani? or both?) were chosen because Ron Rivera had fallen in love with him/them?

Is my memory incorrect here?

I've heard that too. As I recall it was about Silatolu but I could be wrong.

As I've mentioned before, scouts hate the tendency of coaches to become enamored with a certain player because of their highlight reel.

[Mr. Scot]

The #Panthers have signed DT Chas Alecxih

My phone's Autocorrect just threw a tantrum and walked out

Former Charger, as I recall, and a good special teamer.

He has done a great job, I'm not arguing that. But drafting an injured D2 project is careless when we are a team that is determined to build through the draft.

I would think that with all the small school guys who have made huge impacts in the NFL that it would be careless to simply overlook a guy because he hails from a school in Smallville.

Kug apparently just couldn't handle the rigors of the NFL. He was a lemon. But that doesn't mean Gman was careless in his decision to draft him. Sure, we certainly missed out on a better prospect, but poo happens.

Alecxih - How do you pronounce that?!

[Moorgan]

Alecxih - How do you pronounce that?!

Arsen might know. I hear he has experience with multiple consonants. I'm going with A-lex-ee?

[Jon Snow]

Is this dude Russian?

[Mr. Scot]

Arsen might know. I hear he has experience with multiple consonants. I'm going with A-lex-ee?

Per our Chargers buddy Boltergeist, that's correct.

[Moorgan]

Per our Chargers buddy Boltergeist, that's correct.

Nice to be right about something on this board. Never would've guessed it would be linguistics though.

[TheRumGone]

one of his few blemishes for an otherwise stellar drafting record.

[MadHatter]

Dude just could not get healthy

[Fox007]

Some people are carelessly tunnel visioning on the word careless.

 

 

[Mr. Scot]

I've always believed that the change in scouting services that happened after that first draft and the fact that we've generally trended away from "small school project" types since that change are related and not just coincidental.

 

Whether that change was already planned by Gettleman or if it occurred as a result of the first draft pool?  Unknown.

 

I tend to believe it was planned because Gettleman has a history with BLESTO, but ya never know.

[cardiackat88.]

The man never played a down and was on the team for years.

WASTE OF OXYGEN.
