So we cut Marlon Favorite and kept Hilee Taylor?

I think we all fell in love with Favorite and J. Leman because this happens every preseason. It's obvious the coaching staff wasn't high on either of them and now I feel better about the DT situation than ever before.

Good point. A lot of fans fell in love with Taye Biddle too, and some of them were seriously afraid that cutting him would come back to haunt us. The same thing happened with "the predator", but when all was said and done, he went hungry because he could never catch his prey. He was a really loud barker though.

Hell, a lot of fans fell in love with Beavers before they ever even saw him play...why, I have no idea. Personally, I don't want a 160lb punt returner who is gonna fumble the damn ball the first time he takes a good lick.

You're right, if happens every single year and this year is actually the worst, IMO. There are too many nuts on this board that fall in love with a name or a 40 time.

Yeah I do but I'm tired of people acting like Hilee Taylor is a bum, there is a reason we kept him last season and that's the same reason we kept him again this season. He's got the potential to be a very good DE once Peppers and Brayton are gone.

UNC talent is nowhere near SEC talent. Not even close.

Taylor played well when he got his chances, we was a constant menace in the backfield on passing downs, why would we cut him? Especially now that he seems ideally suited for Meeks' system of smaller, faster DE's.

I was glad to see him make the roster as it gives us another pass rusher AND ST'er.

After watching our last preseason game, the future is looking bright for our pass rush :party:

Yeah you're right... Julius Peppers, Greg Ellis, Jeff Saturday, Dre Bly, Alge Crumpler, Kevin Donnalley, Ebenezer Ekuban, Madison Hedgecock, Vonnie Holliday, Natrone Means, Willie Parker, not to mention HOF Lawrence Taylor.

What scrubs those bastards are...

    • I call bullshit. Brady,Manning,Brees and Burrow are all just ball distributors. And the better thier supporting cast and more experience they got the better they got. Thier best attributes were between the ears.  Now I'm not saying Bryce is gonna turn into one of them but what I want is for him. Is to have a solid roster around him and some coaching continuity too see if he takes the next step. Because everything I've seen and read after the benching is that his mental toughness and workethic are what we need in a QB 
    • Many criticize our picks in 2024. I believe that most of them were picked because their ceiling is better than those selected before them.  XLs needs to learn how to play in the NFL. Once he gets up to speed he'll be worthy of 32nd pick.  Brooks, showed why we took him in the few games he played. The ACL injury really sucks but he can overcome these setbacks. Remember TD had 3 ACLs and eventually will be in the ring of honor one day.  Wallace will be a solid LB going forward with experience  Sanders, TE is a tough position to play. He a getting valuable playing time and will become a good TE.  Going down the remaining draft pics all seem to have a good upside. They may not be showing much now but they will start showing their worth next season.   
    • I think he's shown enough that if a QB fell to us at our pick we'd either draft a defensive player or trade down for more picks.
