@Matty_KCSN @aschnitt53 Thoughts about Reese as a SAM replacement on early downs, and move him around as a pass rusher on obvious passing downs? Seems like a good fit assuming coaches can continue to develop the pass rush tools

@aschnitt53 I would, yeah. Good off ball player but feels like he’s equally far away from that as he is a DE.

Final 2026 DE Prospect Rankings 1) Rueben Bain Jr | Miami 2) Arvell Reese | OSU 3) Keldric Faulk | AUB 4) David Bailey | TTU 5) TJ Parker | CLEM 6) Zion Young | MIZ 7) Malachi Lawrence | UCF 8) Gabe Jacas | ILL 9) Akheem Mesidor | Miami 10) R Mason Thomas | OU

@UnionAndBlue Yea, I saw that part in between where you said his back injury wasn’t an issue and the clear number 2 player in the draft. You can try to justify this awful take anyway you want

@JSiedlak Did you read the part where it said "aside from Demidov if he's there", or just miss it?

@UnionAndBlue Still feeling good about justifying the Lindstrom pick? Still sure he’s a better prospect than everyone else and the back issue isn’t a big deal? Watching Montreal and Demidov just gutter illustrates how terrible this take was then and now.

@Aportzline Poverty Franchise. 25 years of the bullshit

#CBJ lose 3-2 to #NHLBruins They still aren't technically eliminated, but now they need a ton of help.

@Aportzline This franchise is fundamentally broken. From the top down the culture is awful. Outside of 8, 19, 24, and maybe 86 & 5 this thing needs torn down. It’s been a 25yr embarrassment with no end in sight. I’m done

#CBJ Provorov whiffs on a slapshot, and Carolina goes the other way with pace. Nikishin with a rip from the left circle and it beats #CBJ Merzlikins to the far post. 3-0 ... and this is getting ugly.

@Aportzline This franchise is an absolute dumpster fire

#NHLBruins score with 11.0 seconds remaining, and the Blue Jackets have done it again. It's 3-3 after #CBJ had a 3-0 lead.

@Aportzline Obligatory soft goal. Elvis gives up 1 every game

#SeaKraken Kakko with a soft flop on net and the puck finds its way into the cage. The near post was not sealed by Merzlikins. #CBJ lead now cut to 3-2 at 8:31 of the second

@troy_onHockey Im using actual xG stats to support my argument, both for the 1 game you referenced and the season as a whole. You’re using anecdotes & personal eye test to justify your position. You might want to reevaluate who’s biased(hint it’s you). Thanks for telling us you don’t know puck

@JSiedlak I had hope, but clearly putting yourself in Type 1: Biased category. This post was about 1 game, 1, but you are continuing with overall (flawed) stats. I even tried to clarify in my reply, saying I wasn’t defending Elvis overall, Jet is better. Thank you for identifying yourself

If you blame Elvis for #CBJ loss on Saturday, just going to say this as nice as I can You are either jaded and have no ability to objectively watch a game without biases overpowering your eyes Or… YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING! Be honest, it’s probably both

@troy_onHockey All xG stats have Jet comfortably ahead of Elvis, and it’s not close. Jet xG better over the last 10 games, and all season. In no way has Elvis outplayed Jet for any meaningful stretch of games. We don’t have a choice with the schedule, both have to play. But Jet is clear 1A

@JSiedlak Listen, I’m not defending Elvis overall. If you are using a public xG stat, it’s mostly trash. Unless it tracks how shot was created, not just where.. it’s just a guesstimate. Has Jet been better overall this year, yes. But not lately and that loss was no where near Elvis fault

@Matty_KCSN The talent and fit aren’t the issue, it’s off the field and on-field consistency questions. I’d think about it at 29, but not before then.

Caleb Banks | DT | UF Long, large 3T that uses mass + str to create pocket push or rip through blocker's shoulder. Powerful push-puller to displace blockers. Good lateral quickness into adjacent gaps. Disrupts plays by shooting gaps or backdooring blocks. + Block recognition

@RPatrickAllen @ArrowheadAddict

For the last category "panicked" I want to name it after a former Chiefs player Chiefs Kingdom would be most terrified to see back on the team. Give me some ideas.

Need some help. For today's @ArrowheadAddict podcast with @MattVerderame , we're going to rank our confidence level in certain positional groups. The options are "highly confident, confident and concerned."

@Matty_KCSN If they’re comfortable with Tyson’s medicals, it has to be him. Second choice would be Downs. This would be ripe for a trade back, but takes 2 to tango

The cliff

@Aportzline We doesn’t have enough disdain for legacy media.The pervasive one sided view and manufactured outrage creates controversy where none exists.The general public just wants to celebrate an iconic sports moment.Guys like Porty can’t stop injecting personal viewpoints into “reporting”

When asked the question, #CBJ Zach Werenski started ... "I'm happy you brought that up." He wanted to address it.

@Aportzline @Boilermaker8912 @JerryBrewer And you wonder why journalism is dying, people in your profession are being laid off left and right, and the Washington Post eliminated the sports section. Read the room Aaron, people are tired of sports “journalists” injecting one sided political options. Go be an opinion writer

@Boilermaker8912 @JerryBrewer You don’t have to read it. But most can handle opinions that are different than their own. A respected colleague wrote it. Reasonable to share.

@StickToTheModel Would adding a trade feature in addition to the cut/extend/restructure scenarios be possible? Would be interesting to see the cap considerations and draft impact

@Aportzline Blocked a shot off his ankle in an area with little to no padding

#CBJ Ivan Provorov down on the ice awkwardly behind the play. I did not see what happened. Trainer Mike Vogt was called, but Provorov was up slowly and off under his own power. He's still on the bench.
