So...When Living In North Carolina...

Whatever you do, if you find yourself in Wilmington near the end of August, do NOT go to Target on Market St. The number of female UNCW freshman buying dorm stuff is too much for mere mortals, you have to be acclimated. Imagine every hot 18-19 year old you've ever seen walking around in tank tops and gym shorts. Then multiply by 5. Then double it.

The place that shut down for a year because someone died from a brain eating bacteria?

I want to go to there......

I've probably been there 50 times to mountain bike then drink beer and watch music. I've never been in the water.

I live in Charleston and it is definitely one of the best cities in the Carolinas. Lived in Charlotte for 10 years and moved back to Charleston if that tells you anything. 

Ive never been to Seattle but I've been to Portland twice in the past 6 months and loved it. The Pacific Northwest is beautiful. I'm sure if I lived there my whole life though I'd like a change of scenery.

Also coming from the west coast to the south is going to be like going back in time 30 years. The south is the least progressive region in the United States. It kind of sucks.

Asheville is the cream of the crop in N.C.moreover it is one of the best cities i've been to in the U.S.

to name just a few of the attractions in Asheville... the Orange Peel is a first class venue for music,the Beer Garden offers a quazillion beers ,if your thing is craft beer then the Wicked Weed is an excellent choice , Appalachian Trail for the hiking enthusiats,the Biltmore Estate for history buffs,the French broad for rafting,also is a great place for the trout angeler and small mouth bass fisherman, good place to grab a bite to eat is the Mellow Mushroom so if you like mountains this is a must see that has alot to offer

On your way back to Charlotte, from Asheville, get on the blueridge parkway and cruise north to blowing rock and enjoy the view...the beautiful view. Make sure you pull over and take in the view at craggy gardens. Further north pull over at mt Mitchell.

Did anyone say outer banks yet? For some reason everyone I've met in the PNW has immediately asked me about the outer banks when I tell them I'm from NC.

Durham is a cool town, nice places to eat. Lots of lakes around Raleigh area that are nice to relax at too.

Charlotte has plenty going for it, I plan to move back some time in the next couple years.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
