This was written by the Flacons former beat writer, so take this with a grain of slat.

The season opener in 2006 between Atlanta and Carolina is when the book on Jake Delhomme, written by opposing teams' scouts, took full form. Newly acquired defensive end John Abraham was having the game of his life, staying in Delhomme's face, sacking him twice and forcing Delhomme to lose two fumbles.

garbage? i actually thought this was a pretty good write-up.

Ok you're right. I reread it and it wasn't that bad... except it really doesn't say anything other than Delhomme can do really bad and he can do really good. Perhaps someone who doesn't log onto the Huddle every day or two would get more out of it.

well, yeah, it WAS redundant in that aspect... i check this board all the time and usually stay well ahead of NFL.com articles in that aspect.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      King Tet talking to Jaycee already. McMillan, shortly after he was drafted, was asked which NFL cornerback he wants to "Moss" most. His answer was an intriguing one. "Well, since we're going to be going against each other in practice, it's Jaycee Horn,"              Jaycee Horn   @jayceehorn_10 · Follow Seatbelts go on all sizes let’s get it lil bra!! @TMAC96795                 Keep Purring Podcast (Ben)   @KeepPurringBen Great article by @KassidyGHill TMac vs Horn "With that in mind, when asked in one booth which NFL corner he was most looking to 'Moss,' McMillan quickly answered, "Well, since we're going to be going against each other in practice, it's Jaycee Horn."   https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/04/29/panthers-tetairoa-mcmillan-jaycee-horn-nfl-draft/83347503007/?taid=68111d1ca9319b00015aff6d&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      It is probably harder to justify taking plays off in a draft where you are drafted six picks after a freak of nature--How Hunter did it is beyond me--and in Colorado of all places!  WRs run sprint after sprint.  Arizona was playing from behind a lot and that means pass every play.  I get it.

      I'll give you the Etienne pick to make up for Brooks, but I think you're looking at the T-Mac/XL picks wrong. Taking T-Mac wasn't "covering" the mistake of the other picks, it was "fixing" the XL pick. We took XL there because we expected him to be our new #1, but it just seems clear after his rookie year that he's never going to be THAT type of guy, even if he improves significantly.  But he does seem like he has that high end #2 potential, and that's where the T-Mac pick makes it "fixing" the pick and not "covering" for a bad one. The T-Mac pick pushes all the other WR's down a peg in the pecking order, and in turn, that makes them all that much better as they'll now be going up against a DB one more peg down on their own pecking order. XL and Coker don't have have a 1/2 pairing potential, but they both could be at the very upper end of the 2's and 3's out there, it totally changes the equation for who they are for us.
