Trevin Wallace funny story

Love that Trevin Wallace will keep the green dot and communicate the play calls. I’m really high on his potential. This from Joe P is really funny:

”Say what?

When Thompson and Josey Jewell (groin and hamstring) both left the Bengals’ game with injuries, it left rookie Trevin Wallace as the linebacker responsible for getting the scheme call from the sideline (via a helmet transmitter) and communicating it to the defense. That process was slowed a bit by Wallace’s south Georgia accent.

Well, not just the accent. Woods said there were other contributing factors that made understanding Wallace difficult.

“We gave him hell about that. Because not only does he have an accent — like me, I have a little bit of a lisp, I’m from the South and I used to wear Invisalign,” said Woods, a Louisiana native. “Trevin has an accent, and he wears Invisalign and he was tired and he was breathing hard. So that was tough.

“But we talked about it, we joked about it. We were just like, ‘Trevin, you’ve gotta slow down a little bit.’ We didn’t miss any calls, but it was different.”

Wallace will have time to work on getting the calls out more cleanly: With Jewell expected to miss at least this week, Woods said the third-round pick from Kentucky will continue to wear the “green dot” on his helmet.”

Young man did a great job for his first real action, the future is bright for him as Shaq's replacement in the middle.  

Generally speaking he has actually played quite poorly. But, he's also very much one of our "project" players that is being forced into action. 

It's a good opportunity for him gain a ton of experience and reps while not really hurting us much due to the historically bad nature of our defense overall.

He was thrown into the game last week. This week will be interesting to see how he does with proper prep. Could show up pretty well given we’re playing a Shane Waldron offense and he’s got great sideline to sideline quickness. If that’s the case, I would caution not to overreact. Looking at the schedule, he could start hot and then cool. 

Enjoyed what I heard this offseason though, was a pick I was big on. Lots of guys liked him as the Lb3/4 in the draft even though many here were a bit “who is this’d” by the pick.

We really need some of our draft picks to land, especially on defense. I hope his play can improve, the unit as a whole didn't look too great against the Bengals.

I doubt there will be much improvement for the defensive unit. But, if individual players can improve(Wallace being one) then I think it will be about as successful as it can be. 

I suspect these lumps are gonna keep coming on D. It's just the side effect of having this little talent.

He's going to show his potential but he'll also make rookie  mistakes.  We need to be patient with him

Precisely. Same with XL and Sanders right now. Gotta give them a moment to breathe and let them settle into the roles.

Will have ups and downs. Especially with Trevin, as every position is dependent and our defense is depleted. Now he’s getting the calls and in the center of it all.

I liked the pick after looking at him and doing some reading. Stuff like being a team captain carries some weight too (he was, in college). Accountable. 

He seems smart. This is the best thing for him really.

It was obvious that he was exhausted. It really does take a few games to get into "game shape." Practice doesn't get you there if you're an every down starter.

CBA protects them from being driven hard and really shows in the game.

      Selling a home and the related commisions

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      The industry like most is dominated by the top 20%. The top 20% can make a 7 figure income, while the bottom 80% are mostly your average joes. There is no second place The thing to remember as an agent is that there is no second place. Either you get the listing/sale or you dont. You can be working with a perspective seller for ages, giving them free consulting advice or home valuations and at the last second they might choose another agent to list with.. cause thats their kids friends dad.. You did all the work - you get nothing.  As an agent you might even be working with a buyer for months trying to find the perfect house only for them to really just 'like looking' and never being serious - you get nothing.  The best (beginner) agents will sit on the phone all day long, talking to people, volunteering on community organizations and being out in the community as there is a 'guilt' factor with selecting one. If Agent Bob is on your church committee there is a higher chance than not that you will hire him over the agent you see in a bill board.   Once your successful.. Once you have made a name for yourself it gets easier. People just think of you because they have seen your sign or they know of someone that have used you. Eventually people just start calling you.  The easiest way to make money as an agent is to get the listing. Once you get the listing your only need to post the listing and now all the other agents are trying to find a buyer. The best way to get listings is to do all the things previously mentioned.    Its not fair.  Because there is no money for 2nd place, agents are known to try to steal listings, or they will offer less of a split commission. AKA The listing agent will get 4% the selling agent will get 2%.  When an agent lists the sale like that some buying agents will simply not show your home to their clients.. even it ifs what they are looking for. So as a home owner, you should ask how they intend to split the commission.  Years ago I hired the top agent in our area to sell my home. They sold it in 24 hours and I paid THOUSANDS in commissions. I mentioned how I thought it was kind of BS that he "did nothing" and I paid so much. His response was one that has stuck with me. He said, "when you hire me, you are paying for the 30+ years of experience that I have. Because of my experience I have a book of 30 people that are looking for a 500k home and 40 people looking for a 400k home. I can sell your home fast people I have built a book of business. That is what you are paying for"   So I would agree that I think that agents make too much money for what they do. But I also have seen far too many people get into real estate, only to quit and go back to their regular job because they always came in 2nd.  Happy to answer more questions if you have.

      Panthers lose, but there’s a different vibe since Andy Dalton replaced Bryce Young –– The Athletic

      By strato · Posted

      I think if he sucks we'll feel better about losing that pick. That's the solace. Such as it is.  It is strength on strength our O vs their D, and the other sides are weakness vs weakness. DJ will be motivated but they have to get it to him.

      As fans have we unanimously concluded that Bryce Young IS THE PROBLEM

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I'm still trying to figure out the gap between a Bryce Young and a Stetson Bennet in the eyes of media and scouting. Aside from age and off the field behavior they are essentially the same player.
