And after watching tonight I think we might actually have 4 future starters from this draft.  Moore, Jackson, Gualden, and Thomas.  I have to say nice draft Hurdog. And if Hayes pays off it's a great draft.  

A little premature but yeah I'm feeling a lot better about this draft now than I was in May...

Overall I am terrified of our offensive line.  I'm not sure if it's norvs system but i think the coaches are too.  It's all quick plays and rollouts.  I know the game is going that direction overall but I have a hard time see how we run the ball with this line.  Hopefully I was wrong. 

Thank god. It always baffled me why Shula would have Cam - who is probably the best dual threat QB ever - stay in the pocket like a sitting duck when our OL was getting abused by the rush. Get him on the damn move!

Someone needs to smack the poo outta Ron. He is honestly going to get Cam killed if he keeps up this Amini charade. If he seriously goes into the season with Amini as starting LG, he should be fired immediately.

Idk why the piece of crap is on the roster, he needs to be working security at Carrowinds or something and if someone else's kid cuts the line and parents start fighting Amini still may get abused. Poor guy!

On the way home from the fest.  Thought I would give my takeaways. 

I spent a lot of time watching the OL. Why.  Because they looked horrible. 

Sirles is serviceable.  

Van Roten looked good at C and G

Amini was brutal. There were multiple times KK had him on his ass. Even wiffed on a guy when he was pulling. OMG please don't let him start. 

Mahon was hit or miss.  Watched him a bunch.  He is a peak or valley guy right now. Great one play and ugly on next. But overall I liked what I saw. 

Taylor hearn.  Meh. 

Larsen played so much C bc they gave Kalil night off.  But that is also the reason they have no plans for him at G.  He will spell Ryan too much too ever get a footing at G

Moton looked good overall at RT. 

Armah didn't practice.  

Beyond CMC and Cj the rest of the RB's we're meh. They game looks to fast for hood. And Bonnafon can pack his bags. 

Olsen looked like Olsen. 

Ian Thomas was absolutely impressive. Looks the part size wise and he moves really well.  Finally have a number 2. 

Moore didn't do a ton. But his stop and start is explosive. 

Samuel looked noticeably quicker than everyone else.  Nice to see that. 

Jarius Wright dropped a bunch. 

Funchess has good hands but has separation issues. 

Backup QBs are suspect. 

The defense looked much better.  Which is normal at this part of the season. 

KK is domnant.  He's gonna have a huge year with Poe next to him. 

Jackson and Gualden in on 1st team defense. Gualden did look to blow a coverage at one point.  

Doss should have had another pick. I think he makes team if continues to play well

Jermaine Carter has better range than I thought.  I like that little fire plug. Reminds me of Mills. 

Ken Norton moves well for a big guy. Had a shot at a tackle on the sideline. 

Chris Frey won't make team but had a couple nice plays. 

 

Overall I am terrified of our offensive line.  I'm not sure if it's norvs system but i think the coaches are too.  It's all quick plays and rollouts.  I know the game is going that direction overall but I have a hard time see how we run the ball with this line.  Hopefully I was wrong.

Drafted by Hurney. Gettleman got Norwell to replace him and got fired before Norwell’s last year when Hurney didn’t extend him. Gettleman certainly wasn’t perfect but Hurney brought us Amini. 

Over Cordy Glenn...

That still hurts.

That video of the Tepper hop has just got to go viral. It is incredible to believe this guy has 11 billion dollars...

Thrilled at how much he loves being out there and how he's willing to show his joy so publicly.   I think we are totally blessed to have such an owner. He's a fan who will let his love of the game shape his decisions. It won't be just all about money.

His vertical could use some work, though 

[BigSyke]

Ian Thomas has been the rookie standout in camp this year imo. Two-tight end sets look great.

I saw Alonso Mourning at a grocery store in Charlotte years ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. 
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” 
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw Mourning trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. 

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Not calling you a liar but this sounds too fuged up to be true.  Sounds like he was high af when this happened

edit: never mind missed the joke here

This has been his MO since day 1 and the reason I don't think he'll be with us next year or even be our #1 this year. Year 4 and there's no improvement. Maybe we should've kept KB and traded Funchess. idk
