Is Bryce Young officially on the clock in Carolina? ⏱️Welcome back to the channel, Keep Pounding crew! Today we are diving into a massive reality check for the Carolina Panthers as the 2026 offseason heats up. We are hitting you with five massive storylines that prove Dan Morgan and Dave Canales are playing chess, not checkers, when it comes to the future of this franchise.First up, the national media is already looking past Bryce Young. We break down a shocking 2027 NFL Mock Draft that has the Panthers selecting South Carolina dual-threat powerhouse LaNorris Sellers at No. 11 overall. At 6'3” and 240 pounds, Sellers gives off major prime Cam Newton vibes. If Bryce doesn't deliver this season, could the Gamecocks star be the next QB1 in Charlotte?

Imagine…travelling back to a time before the Internet…before Mountain Dew Livewire…and before the neo-post apocalypse…This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?The date is June 4th, 1982. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder are still on top of the charts with "Ebony and Ivory". And a film from Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg is about to shake up suburbia with some pesky ghosts and good old fashioned TV static.The film...is Poltergeist. And they're hereeee...Now!I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we get ready to move into Phase IV of Cuesta Verde are fellow cinephiles and poltergeist hauntees Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.Topics of discussion in this episode include the charming nostalgia of 1982 suburbia, including a kids room completely decked out in Star Wars merch; Craig T. Nelson shows us the horrors of old school “clicker” remotes; and finally, we get into the Curse of Poltergeist and the film's enduring legacy…and how this curse may have just affected this very podcast…Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, Follow Us on Instagram, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com And as the Freeling family escapes Cuesta Verde (only to be haunted again four years later by a scary Quaker man) we too must leave the scary world of 80s Suburbia behind and go down south - waaaay south - to the frozen landscape of Antarctica. When Where Were You In ‘82 returns, we'll be amping up the paranoia and practical fx with John Carpenter's The Thing.

Draft day is here. The board is set. Jeff Risdon opened the Detroit Lions Podcast by staking out pick 17 and sorting the flood of NFL mock drafts pointing toward Detroit. Draft-Day Plan: Risdon's No-Trade Mock Risdon's final no-trade mock locks in Blake Miller, the Clemson offensive tackle, at 17 for the Detroit Lions. It is a clean projection and a pragmatic one. He also ran a first three-round exercise with no trades. The approach is consistent: prioritize the offensive line if the board cooperates. There is a clear dream scenario. If Monroe Freeling slips to 17, that is the pick. Full stop. Risdon does not expect Freeling to last that long, which prompted the pivot to Miller in his final version. The premise is simple. Stay at 17. Take the tackle that matches the value. National Mocks: Offensive Line Leads the Way The national pulse is strong and aligned. Many prominent mocks land on Caden Proctor for Detroit. Peter Schrager has Proctor. Matt Miller does, too. Albert Brown also points the Lions to Proctor, and Joe Marino is on that track as well. Others ride with Blake Miller, reinforcing the same position focus. Monroe Freeling drew serious national support as well. Daniel Jeremiah is on Freeling. Mel Skipper is there, and Mike Renner and Jordan Reid show similar leanings. Only one national voice broke the pattern in structure rather than position: Ben Solak has Detroit trading back two spots and taking a player after the move. Among the names checked, Chad Reuter stands out as the lone national who delivered Spencer Fano to the Lions in round one. The signal from all of it is unmistakable. Offensive line at 17 remains the chalk. Local Pulse: Proctor, Miller, and a Fano Flier Locally, the room is split but still sits on the same side of the ball. Dave Burkett has Caden Proctor. Brett Whitefield is also on Proctor. Risdon himself is on Blake Miller in his final no-trade scenario, and Eric Schlitt has been a Miller fan. The Athletic's Colton Pouncy landed Spencer Fano at 17 in a run where the board broke oddly, a reminder that draft night can tilt in unexpected ways. What It Means at 17 The Detroit Lions enter tonight with a tight, credible cluster at a premium spot. Monroe Freeling is the swing if he falls. Blake Miller is the steady answer if he does not. Caden Proctor and Spencer Fano remain live depending on how the first 16 picks unfold. One notable outlier includes a modest trade back, but the bulk of mocks keep Detroit planted at 17. It is a clean plan for a roster with standards.

Tackle Tops Detroit's To-Do List Draft month opened with a narrow focus. The Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on offensive tackle as the biggest hole on a strong roster. Jeff Risdon and Chris agreed the priority is clear. Detroit would love more bendy edge Rodgers, but history says that is not a typical target. The path to improvement runs through the offensive line. Manu Freeling at No. 2: Movement and Power Chris has Manu Freeling as the number two overall player on his board. The traits drive the grade. Rare size to NFL caliber power. Nimble in space. Explosive off the ball. On screens and climbs to the second level, the movement pops. He does not wander and miss second-level targets. The issues are not physical. They are reps and time. Jeff summed it up. What is wrong is inexperience, not ability. In a class light on blue chip talent, Freeling's package at left tackle stands out. That blend at a premium spot anchors the ranking. Hatten Proctor's Profile and the 17 Question Chris stacked Hatten Proctor eighth overall. The sell is simple. He is a very large man around 350 pounds with supreme length. He is ready from a strength perspective. The anchor holds. He generates torque in the run game. He will not match Freeling or Maui Noah in speed to the second level, but his movement at that size is impressive. He is only 20 years old. The upside window is wide. Rushers need time to run the arc around him because the frame is so big. Three and a half seconds can pass before contact lands on the quarterback. That matters. Jeff asked if Proctor will last to 17. The answer may come fast on draft night. The panel agreed the range is tight for a tackle with that profile. Inside the Draft Gradebook Tool Chris also previewed his Draft Gradebook project. It is an archive of over 1,500 independent scouting reports from the 2021 class through 2026. It features an AI search and archetype searches. Type in “bendy edge Rodgers” and pull every match. He has around 170 prospects logged for 2026 and aims for about 250 by draft time. A free preview is live this week. Draft day mode adds best available, a draft tracker, biggest deals, and team hubs so fans can follow every pick in one place. For Detroit Lions fans, that means clearer context when the board starts moving at offensive tackle. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #2026nfldraft #monroefreeling #kadynproctor #scoutingreports #blakemiller #lionsdraft Learn more about your ad choices.

Mapping the Perfect Pair at 17 and 50 Jeff Risdon and Russell Brown dialed in on the Detroit Lions draft plan at pick 17 and pick 50. The premise felt simple. If the Lions take an offensive tackle at 17, then edge likely waits until 50. Flip it, and the tackle comes later. The conversation asked which bucket looks stronger at each slot. The hosts noted how the NFL rumor cycle muddies late information. Combine mock drafts have been more accurate than the final rush. They plan to lean on what they heard in Indy and on the pro day circuit. The goal is clarity, not noise, for the Detroit Lions at two pivotal picks. Tackles at 17: Board Reality and Dream Combo They walked through names they expect off the board by 17. Branch Mowenow, Allen Barnes, and David Bailey came up as likely gone. Monroe Freeling probably gone too. Brown called Freeling the dream at 17. Pair that with Malachi Lawrence at 50 and it is a quick-strike haul. Realistic options at 17 look different. Spencer Fano should be there. Caleb Blomu should be there. Blake Miller should be there. Colon Proctor might be there, a true 50-50. Neither host sounded high on Proctor. They also kicked around I Niese and Heinecker as names the Lions could consider at tackle. Brown leaned toward Blomu. He sees a ready-made left tackle who can play right away. A player who fits early, then grows. That matters if edge depth at 50 looks acceptable. Edge at 50 vs Tackle at 50: The Tradeoff This Detroit Lions Podcast framed the decision like a seesaw. Do you prefer the edge rushers available at 50 over the tackles at 50? If yes, take the tackle at 17. If no, grab the edge at 17 and wait on the line. The calculus turns on how the board falls in real time. Malachi Lawrence at 50 headlined the edge wishlist if the dream scenario hits. Beyond that, the hosts kept the focus tight on structure. They want value aligned to slot. Trust the combine reads. Cross-check with pro day notes. Avoid chasing late buzz. Where Risdon and Brown Land Today Freeling at 17 and Lawrence at 50 is the clean finish. If Freeling is gone, Blomu became the practical pivot for Brown. Miller and Fano stand as viable options if the room agrees on fit. Proctor is a maybe. I Niese and Heinecker stay in the mix. The Lions must win both pockets of the board. That is the perfect pair game. Two picks. One plan. The NFL clock is ticking, and Detroit holds leverage at 17 and 50 if they trust their stack. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfldraft #pick17 #pick50 #offensivetackle #defensiveend #monroefreeling #malachilawrence #spencerfano #calebblomu #blakemiller #colonproctor #combinemockdrafts #prodaycircuit Learn more about your ad choices.

Combine fallout reshapes Detroit's No. 17 board The Detroit Lions Podcast finally hit the post-combine reset after a chaotic week that included a David Montgomery trade and the release of Graham Glasgow. Jeff Risdon and Michael Grey used Indy results to revisit the five most likely options for the Detroit Lions at pick 17 in the NFL Draft. Three names from the pre-combine slate remain. Two dropped out for clear, on-field reasons. The three still standing at 17 The core of the list holds: Auburn edge Keldrick Falk, Clemson edge TJ Parker, and Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller are still in play at 17. The Lions' needs on the line of scrimmage keep all three relevant. Detroit values trench versatility and production, and each brings a different answer to that profile. Why Keldrick Falk fits Detroit's front Falk checks the size and power boxes as a crush the can edge who can also reduce inside. He is young and very athletic, even if not a classic twitch rusher. His floor arrives with elite run defense. His ceiling rises with inside-out flexibility. He can play a big end role, then kick to three-tech on passing downs. Detroit has mixed five-man fronts and odd looks, moving bodies to find matchups. Falk fits that menu. Post-combine, his range tightened. He could be gone by 17. Dallas is a possibility. Miami is a possibility. There is even outside buzz about Kansas City at nine. He remains a strong Lions match if he lasts. TJ Parker's stock rebounds in Indy Parker stacked a strong combine on top of earlier production. He moved himself more firmly into the 15-to-20 range. His past billing in some mocks as the first defensive player off the board slipped during the season, but he explained the context well and showed maturity. Traits, motor, and makeup line up with what Detroit wants on and off the field. He is a devoted father, a motivated worker, and a confident finisher. Parker could still be there at 17. It also would not shock if he goes just above Detroit. Either way, he is squarely in the tier the Lions are weighing. Who fell off the board at 17 Caden Proctor slid out of round-one consideration for Detroit at that slot. His wave drill was rough, and the consensus view now leans guard projection. Many see him in the 25-to-40 range as a supersized interior lineman. His athletic background at Alabama, including tight end and short-yardage running back snaps, does not fully translate to NFL offensive tackle. Monroe Freeling went the other direction. He became a combine darling. He looks likely to be gone well before 17, perhaps even the first offensive lineman taken and a candidate in the top 10. That makes the Freeling-at-17 dream unrealistic for the Lions. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #2026nfldraft #combine #keldricfaulk #tjparker #blakemiller #monroefreeling #dillonthieneman Learn more about your ad choices.

Daniel Jeremiah dropped real Detroit Lions intel on a two-hour NFL pre-combine conference call with roughly 150 media members. Three Lions-centric questions made the queue. The answers steered straight to offensive tackle and contingency planning. This Detroit Lions Podcast zeroes in on what matters for pick 17 and March. OT at 17: Monroe Freeling and Blake Miller Asked about offensive tackles at No. 17, Jeremiah immediately named Monroe Freeling of Georgia and Blake Miller of Clemson as fits he believes the Detroit Lions could consider. It is early in the process, and these are his opinions, but those were the first two prospects he tied to Detroit's draft slot. Both are squarely in the conversation before the NFL combine. Why Freeling resonates: learning curve and toughness Jeremiah outlined why Freeling stands out. Quick learner. Still improving. Limited experience but trending up. He added an off-field note with on-field value: Freeling's mother is a yoga instructor, which he views as a positive for injury prevention. He also relayed a durability moment. Freeling was expected to miss a game with a high ankle sprain. He said he felt healthy enough to go, entered on an emergency basis, then played the entire game and played well. That combination of growth, recovery habits, and resilience landed with the room. Free-agent tackle buzz and the contingency map Unprompted, Jeremiah said the Lions are sniffing around the free agent offensive tackle class. He did not elaborate. On the podcast, we walked through the practical outcomes of that note. It can be veteran insurance if a rookie tackle is the pick at 17. It can cover the possibility that Giovanni Manu is not ready to be the next man up. It can protect the depth spot that Dan Skipper filled. The class lacks sizzle, but there are playable options. Jermaine Illuminore has had decent starting stretches with the Lions and Raiders. He is not Taylor Decker, but he can start if needed. Braxton Jones is coming off a rough season. Jack Conklin brings a long injury history in Cleveland. Former Michigan State Spartan. Chicago area roots. Tough profile, but questions remain. Many in this market are primarily right tackles. This draft also gives Detroit room to stack swings. Beyond Freeling and Miller, there are many tackles in range throughout the weekend. Names mentioned as possibilities included Spencer Branch Manu, Caleb Holmes, Caleb Tiernan, and Dimitris Brown of Texas A and M as a Day 3 type the Lions could like. Doubling up is not out of the question if the board cooperates. For the Detroit Lions, the path at tackle runs through No. 17 and the veteran aisle. The next two weeks before the NFL combine will sharpen it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #monroefreeling #blakemiller #freeagentoffensivetackles #taylordecker #giovannimanu #danieljeremiah #highanklesprain #jermaineilluminore #braxtonjones #jacksonconklin Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textEARLY PATREON RELEASE- In 1982 the first of the Poltergeist trilogy movies was released. In a scene nearing the end of the movie, the mother of the Freeling family, Diane, is dragged into the in ground pool, where she is surrounded by skeletons floating to the surface. At this time, in Hollywood, it was said to have been cheaper to fly in ACTUAL human skeletons, instead of buying synthetic. And, that scene would be believed to be the catalyst to what some would deem The Poltergeist Curse, because what would follow would be a series of untimely, horrific and downright strange deaths of actors who were involved in one or all of the Poltergeist films. This case does involve severe domestic assault and the death of a child, so please listen with care.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!
