Thielen is definitely starting in the slot

Thielen is a 6'2 all-around, but primarily outside receiver who can shift into slot, playcall dependent.  Historically, he's been in the 450 snaps per year range lining up wide (around 70% of his career snaps).

I sure hope Barno put on about 10 lbs

He might just be a situational speed guy on pass rush plays, weird frame so it's hard to say if he can fill out and add any power to his game. Thanks rhule

The relief these guys must feel going out there and not having to hear “let me tell you how we used to do things at Temple!”

Come on, MostInterestingMan--he never said that (because the entire Temple team was on the Panther Roster)

I know it was a voluntary practice but I can’t believe Young didn’t show up. That’s a poor first impression.

Whole int is good, but Kaye also thinks Thielen is going to be in the slot 80%. If you move it back a bit talks about Shenault/Shi etc

Whatever happens it's nice to see Corral moving around. He got screwed and still seems to be optimistic despite his "character concerns"

One other note...

He replies since 2020. I hope the media coverage is better too because it was dumb to be afraid of leaking practice tape. Only letting Darnold play like 5 snaps in preseason didn't do much for the last guy

I think the keeping the press on a leash was so less eyes could see the obvious sham in progress.

Yeah that's why Darnold had a good scripted opening drive and then we sucked ass for the next 45 minutes or so. The lack of halftime adjustments...

Hindsight is going to be even more unkind to the Rhule Era, I predict.

Lots more lips will eventually talk about how poorly suited to the NFL he was.

I also predict he will flop at Nebraska.
