I'm curious to know what some of you think of Lavelle Hawkins. Made some nice plays this pre season. He's definitely talented but he seems to have a problem controlling himself. I think he took 2 unsportsmanlike penalties against the Vikings, one for taking off his helmet after he returned a kick.

Maybe Ricky and Smitty can mentor him. He's 27 years old so it may be too late to try and change him. I know it's a long shot since this organization doesn't have a history of taking chances on these type of guys. But he's a playmaker and you can never have too many of those.

Numbers aren't all that impressive but some of his highlights are. With 5 wide outs currently on the roster he may be worth a look.

@jjones9: Gotta a few folks asking about Marvin Austin as a pickup for the Panthers. For a couple of reasons, not a good fit

Apparently not

What reasons?

 

Gettleman scouted him when he was in NY. Even if he's injured/sick whatever he is, just stash him.

There's plenty of available upgrades like mikell and even Kerry Rhodes, but I don't know if they're gonna go after anymore players tbh. I would like to see some offensive lineman brought in more than anything

rhodes has been black balled because he's gay.

 

rather you agree or not is irrelevant. teams wont sign him.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
