A question about legs

Hurney said AE needed to " get his legs back". Now back in the day I used to run track, I was a long distance runner, so I know what tired legs feel like. But We are 4 weeks into the season- am I missing something real in the get his legs back explanation or was this just an excuse for him not being ready?

It's not legs that he is missing, it's his ability to grasp the playbook.

He is not only coming from college to the pros, but from D2 to the pros, and switching position.

For him to be on the field he HAS to be able to perform on special teams, and I am sure that after his preseason no one trusts him to do that yet.

I have just as much faith in Edwards as I do Captain at PR.

You may, but that don't mean squat when figuring out who is going to be active on gameday.

P.S. Capt. has to be active anyway, AE does not.

well, we can't go into a game w/ only Gettis and LaFell active at WR.

I think he meant that with the position change he has done a lot more running than he is use to and it's taking a toll on him. He has to get in WR running shape not QB running shape. My guess anyway.

Sounds about right. Running routes and short sprints are hard on the legs and they need conditioned.

When did Hurney say this? And in what context?

he said that a week or two ago on the radio but then followed it up with he's looking good again. they had been talking about edwards transition to WR and hurney said that edwards had lost his legs because he had never done so much running before.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By CRA · Posted

      you are partially right.  We lack the key playmaker.  It's the QB.  Instead you fixate on why everyone can't lift up the guy who is supposed to lift them up.  RBs would make more guys miss if Bryce put the ball on them at the right time.  Those get pointed out often live during the game.  But he is late with most things.  So the advantageous windows close and they become dump offs.  Bryce is part of why the screen game never sets up right.  QBs that want to attack downfield do.  QBs that need Tyreek Hill.....aren't QBs that attack downfield.  See Jake.  You could give Jake Delhomme one big body possession WR.  He was a downfield attacking QB.  And so he would go to town downfield with just Moose as his WR.  We saw that play out as well.

      He also hasn't had a good front 7 pass rush three of those years (and the 2022 Broncos pass rush wasn't particularly talented either outside of Chubb). Cover 3 zone (Evero's primary zone) usually leaves underneath routes open, so QBs will usually have that checkdown option with the DC's hope that somebody then steps up to make the tackle for a short gain. Think of our Seahawks game - while the Seahawks didn't get a ton of sacks, Bryce got baited into the checkdown and the Seahawks wrapped up and tackled the RB/TE almost immediately every time for practically no gain. Unfortunately for us, half of our starters are rocking missed tackles rates that makes me want to vomit, so those 2 yard checkdowns to RBs turn into 10 yards in a hurry.

      The '26 draft class is loaded with upperclassmen QBs.  I would definitely take a flyer after the second round.  This is where you throw a dart blindfolded at a dartboard and hope you miraculously hit the bullseye.  At best stumble upon a Brock Purdy, at worst you waste a day two or three draft pick.  Somewhere in the middle the team finds their Andy Dalton of the future.
