If you would like to follow @gregcosell He's tweeting up a storm. He watches tons of films and comes up with some good insight. I'll copy pasta some for the internet challenged but he's putting out tons of info right now.

I've seen Cousins compared to Dalton. Dalton managed + manipulated by scheme but also threw with great anticipation, especially in red zone

Decision making (both pre + post snap), timing, anticipation, pocket movement, ball location can all compensate for some passing limitations

Often QB discussion revolves around what can be coached, + what can't. System critical for QBs with passing limitations. Still can succeed.

Another thought on Cousins. What I didn't see was refined pocket movement. Often drifted into pressure + increased difficulty of throws.

Cousins has sparked lot of debate. Didn't see efficiency I expected. Could drive ball better with slight change in footwork at top of drop.

I always try to remember atching college players tha a lot of guys play in the NFL + contribute. Not black + white, polarizing evaluations.

More Cousins. Tendency to drift back in response to pressure. Bad habit that must end. Would need to be highly managed by scheme.

Watched 5 gms of Cousins. Disappointed. Saw limited passer w/average arm strength. Needed functional space to throw. Plant + throw passer.

RB Poole. Liked film.Tough inside for his size. Pressed hole, cut decisively. Got skinny thru small cracks. Laterally quick. Natural wiggle.

WVU Irvin a quick accelerator. Exploded off edge. Excellent closing speed. Reminded me of Colts Mathis at times. Movement to play 3-4 OLB.

Film gave little sense of how WR Hill will transition. No routes, straight line running. Tall high cut strider with limited lateral movement

Maybe on reason you don't see true "5 techs" coming into NFL is college teams rarely play 3-4 base fronts. Always a projection with a player

Curry interesting watch. Not a get low, bend the edge rusher. More of speed to power rusher. Strong + active hands, deceptive closing speed.

A lot of questions about best "5 technique" in 3-4. League moving away from pure 3-4 fronts with "5 techs". A lot more 1 gap concepts.

Branch will be seen by many as 3-4 OLB. Not sure he has flexibility + movement skills unless primarily a pass rusher. Sub-package player?Branch does not have explosion + flexibility of pure edge rusher. More straight line with long arms + leverage. 4-3 rush DE or 3-4 OLB?

Overall with this WR class it will be very important which teams draft them. Specific skill sets that must be recognized + maximized.Asked about Kirkpatrick. Not sure why people talk about move to S. Skill set to be quality corner. Needs technique work but can be coached.Cox far more versatile than Poe. Cox "3 tech", can rush QB from inside. Also aligned at DE at MSU + showed quicks + burst as edge rusher.

RE: Poe. Always a debate among scouts/coaches re: physical/athletic skill set v. college production. No right answer.RE: DT Poe. Outstanding skill set: Size, athleticism, quickness, burst for a 350 lb man. Concern was lack of production. Won't impact draft.

Great point made re: slot receivers. Different shapes + sizes based on team. But overall point is they are important, not afterthoughts.

some of the more interesting stuf...

Asked about DT. Really like Cox. Natural athleticism + movement. Balance + flexibility to rush QB. Great scheme versatility. Played DT/DE.

Coples been compared to M. Williams. Physical skill set similar coming out of college. Not as athletic as Peppers. Can he become pass rusher

Coples at times flashed strong hands + natural power. Much more of power/strength profile. Effective as inside pass rusher in sub-packages

Coples will be polaring in draft rooms. Power/leverage rusher more than speed/quickness rusher. Didn't have flexibility of edge rusher.

Kept watching LSU Brockers. More + more games. A project. A player who will be drafted based on what he might become not what he is now.

Like CB Gilmore. Need to see more. Quick feet, fluid hips, smooth change of direction. Aggressive + challenging in off coverage + press man.

I'd rather take Cox than Poe. 14.5 TFL, 5 sacks and 1st team All-SEC or 8 TFL, 1 sack and 2nd team All-CUSA. That being said, I would prefer Coples based on his ability to change positions and his measurables.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
