but walter jones was an amazing athlete in his time. i'm hoping jeff otah grows up to be just like him... but without the injuries.

amazing athlete is an understatement man. check out this stat:

"On 5,703 pass attempts over 13 seasons, according to coaches stats, Walter Jones was called for holding 9 times and surrendered 23 sacks."

He is one of, if not the greatest left tackle of all time.

Let's hope that another LT is known for being that great.

Its amazing how a great o-line can make an average back like Alexander look like a pro bowl running back.

So true...Starts in the trenches, bruh.

I think Alexander was pretty good in his own right.

What happened in a year? I thought so too but he went from dormant to dominant to doormat in no time flat.

yeah I had a chance to go to the 05 NFC champ, and I'm glad I didn't I would have winded up paying $400 for a ticket to see us get badly beat, but its a little better we were in the super bowl 2 years before, if it weren't for that fact, think about how much more the memory of this game would haunt us

Walter Jones was all over sports radio up here today, they are even calling it Walter Jones Day etc... but the interviews were cool, the reporter state that Holmgren called Jones the best player he ever coached, and that's impressive, it would great if Otah got as good as Jones, but Otah is already just as good in the run game Jones seemed like the type that his pass protection is what stood out the most, they said today he only gave up 23 sacks I believe it was in 13 years in the NFL, and only got a holding penalty once every 20 games

      [Joe Person] Jonathon Brooks had a successful 2nd ACL surgery - Expected to miss all of 2025 Season

      By TD alt · Posted

      He doesn't need to play in 2025. And maybe not 2026 either from what I've read. This is but one peer-reviewed selection:    "A devastating complication of returning to sport following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a second ACL injury. Strong evidence now indicates that younger, more active athletes are at particularly high risk for a second ACL injury and this risk is greatest within the first two years following ACLR." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5226931/     Regarding your first question... "The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision that affects patient outcomes significantly. Even though there is no consensus in the literature, there are some trends regarding timing of ACLR. Various authors suggest that ACLR be performed at least 3 weeks after injury in order to avoid arthrofibrosis. More important than time alone, objective criteria including perioperative swelling, edema, hyperthermia, and ROM are important indicators of when surgery should be performed." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4004131/#:~:text=The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision,in order to avoid arthrofibrosis.

      [The Athletic] Panthers’ offseason to-do list

      Not sure I would be so sure they feel worse than us - their QB was better than Bryce at in the first season, they got DJ Moore, and 2 more high caliber draft picks.  We had to give up basically our entire defense this season indirectly to make that happen and we still have no true #1 WR.  Not saying I would rather have Caleb over Bryce at this point - but I would rather have their team situation and draft picks hands down.

      A lot of people think this draft is weak at QB--I think, after the first five picks of the first round, there are a ton of developmental QBs who could develop into the role--here is the psychology behind it--Bryce becomes the mentor--you can learn as much by teaching others than by being taught.   It also makes him a true leader.  But I think there are a few QB in this draft that might not be ready now, but in 2 years, could be NFL starting QBs--Howard, Rourke, Ewers, Milroe, Dart, etc.  Talk about a cheaper backup and one that could evolve into trade capital--or if Bryce can't find consistency-his replacement.  Round 3 will have some of these qbs--maybe early day 3.
