That is genuinely one I have never had.

CiCi's > Pizza Inn

There, I said it.

Is that based on quality or the ratio of price/volume consumed?

Quality. Keeping in mind, pretty low bar to hit.

Perryman seems to have a far higher ceiling than Carter, so I would assume he would easily win that job. 

I don't know about that. He's always been a nice run stopper, but his coverage skills are suspect.

I don't know that I would call Carter exactly a stellar coverage guy either. I believe in his career Perryman has allowed a lower passer rating when targeted than Carter has.

Hands down favorite pizza as a kid - we had one in Rock Hill right around the corner.  Best part was the little arcade inside with the Star Wars X-wing game!

Glad the offense had a nice day, but the LBer spot is incredibly worrying. So many on here said not to worry about the position, but our playoff hopes probably rest on that group figuring it out and staying healthy as far as our defense goes.

If they actually watched the team play last year and said not to worry about it they are either confused or just homers. There looks to be a little bit of both going on around here but it is still August.

How come we got banned for calling out foolishness for what it was with Cam/Teddy?

This media takeover, away from the people, wrong. Won't end well. No jersey signings, no fans at camp. Wrong. Just wrong.

This "new normal" is whacked. Hit the reset!

Hell I seen at bears camp the guys were going around the stadium signing autographs. Are we like the only team not allowing fans as much?

ok less pizza more camp tweets please

If you paid attention to the roster you would know they aren't the same group.

I've got a lot more hope for the defense than I do the offense this season. A bit of a switch from last year.

Defensive line looks to be a big upgrade over the last two seasons: Brian Burns, Haason Reddick, Derrick Brown, Da'Quan Jones, Morgan Fox, and Yetur Gross-Matos seem to be locks. That leave 3 - 4 spots to be decided amongst Bravvion Roy, Phil Hoskins, Daviyon Nixon, and Marquis Haynes. I think that Hoskins is the odd man out out of that grouping.

The secondary? Also improved! Jaycee Horn, Donte Jackson, AJ Abouye, and Troy Pride Jr are likely the top 4 CBs on the roster, and if we go into the season with 6 that means the final two spots will be between Myles Hartsfield (who has been getting increased looks as the back-up nickel), Keith Taylor, Stantley Thomas-Oliver III (I don't see Melvin nor Julius making the team). STO3 could be destined for the practice squad out of those remaining. Jeremy Chinn is going to be one of the starting safeties, so pick 3 from Juston Burris, Sam Franklin, Kenny Robinson, and Sean Chandler. If I had to guess, Robinson would be PS bound yet again as Chandler is a ST guy and the team seems high on Franklin & Burris. There's also Delano Hill if his COVID bout doesn't hamper his chances.

There are still question marks at LB due to depth, but Shaq Thompson, Jermaine Carter Jr, and Denzel Perryman are the clear favourites. Julian Stanford is another ST likely to make the roster within his position group, so that means possibly two spots go to Frankie Luvu & Christian Miller. It's hard for me to see the two recently added LBs (Celestin & Hall) or the other two LBs (Johnston & Fisher) making the main roster.

I called this last week. The only thing that stops him will be injury.

you called that Omar Bayless would run a beautiful route to the corner and catch a well-placed touchdown pass from PJ Walker?

that’s a very specific prediction.

Happy hump day to you all. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water today (at least 8 glasses) and take your vitamins.
