    Oh I agree that it's not a sustainable strategy. I think will just roll with who they have at Edge and play the hopium game with Wyatt and Hargrave in the middle. Sorrell sounds like he's improving each day, and I think when healthy LVN can give them quality snaps. Last season many teams got rid of the ball fast to counter Parsons, without him Gannon is going to be creative but the players have to be better.

      #Lions C Cade Mays, who signed a 3-year, $25M deal this offseason, suffered a significant wrist injury that will sideline him indefinitely, per HC Dan Campbell. A major loss.​

      Edit: He is expected to be out 8-10 weeks.

          EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have named Kyler Murray their starting quarterback, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, the expected conclusion to their quarterback competition despite a rocky series of practices leading to the decision.

          Murray has been the heavy favorite to win the job from the moment he signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract March 12 following his release by the Arizona Cardinals, who will pay him $35.5 million. The decision pushes J.J. McCarthy, the No. 10 pick of the 2024 draft, to the sideline after 10 career starts and raises questions about his future. Quarterbacks Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer also remain on the roster.

            JJ "Bust" McCarthy.

            Unless he pulls a Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield and goes somewhere else to resurrect his career.

              Darnold became a decent QB once he was put on a decent team. McCarthy was, and is, on a decent team. Justin Jefferson averaged 61.6 yards per game with McCarthy throwing to him. His previous low was 90.

                Bears, too.


                Kyler Gordon and Luther Burden III hurt as well. I get the sense that Ben Johnson likes to practice the way Campbell does - a lot of physical hitting etc. in camp - which will make them tougher, but also more injured. Lions and Bears are basically signing any breathing body they can find to play in the secondary.

                  I hate to say it because I really hate the damn Vikings, but they made a smart move getting Kyler Murray. It became even smarter with Arizona paying the huge bulk of his salary.
                  What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                      Lions have some sixth round EDGE guy who is impressing in camp; conversely, wide receiver Issac Te'Slaa, a surprise third round pick in 2025, had had a lousy camp.

                        The Cowboys have now signed both Clowney and Von Miller for this season. Interesting to see how much production they really think they can get out of these two along with Gary. Doesn’t sound like a real vote of confidence for any of their young pass rushers. Or Jerry just likes to assemble lots of new toys.

                          Is Jerruh one of those owners who acts like a fan and is attracted to the names? You hear "Clowney" and "Von Miller" and you think, oh, those guys are freakin' awesome, so you sign them. You know the names, they've been super productive. And you forget, like so many fans, that players have expiration dates.

                            Clowney, by snaps, has been a good pass rush specialist. His numbers in reduced snaps are truly good. Miller I am less sure about.
                            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                              Agree. I think a 37-year old Miller is more of a name than production at this (very late) stage of his career. For the contract/production, I'd rather have Brenton Cox Jr. than Miller. Kicking the tires on Clowney wouldn't have been bad, but GB has so many young Edge players (Sorrell, Oliver, DDS) that need snaps to develop I understand why they didn't.
                              It will be fascinating to see how the DAL D and especially the pass rush is this year. I think Caleb Downs is going to be really good.

                                Reports are he tore his quad tendon and is out for the year.
