Does there need to be a rethinking of the basic D?

McDermott - "Still looking for that other safety"

I’m pretty sure Justin Simmons is available. Maybe he would chase a ring on a 2 year deal where essentially this year is low pay but there are guarantees for next year to avoid some cap hit. thought he was a good fit last season. Maybe he worth bringing in or a phone call to gauge interest. -

I wanted Cooper Dejean with the 1st pic last seaosn. I could see him playing safety at the same mvp level he had last season. Hopefully this isnt a big problem this season and Bish steps up -
Nice! I'll never forget diving with Humpbacks a couple years ago in Aitutaki. (Cook Islands). One of the best experiences of my life. There were 3 of them that came straight up out of the deep blue and just hung around us for 10-15 minutes checking us out. They then went to the surface for air, turned around and went straight back down. (I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.)

Thank you! That was a freakish amount of sweat btw... I've never seen anything remotely close to that amount of liquid being wringed out of a pair of socks, much less one. Hairston did a good job of not vomiting. In retrospect I'm starting to think that was a prank... that he got them wet in the shower or something... can't possibly be real.

New stadium to have real grass - per BB last night

So the Abbott Road site is dead? Hammer's gonna be really upset. Besides irrigating the field, I believe that's also their solution to fertilizing it. Would this have any adverse effects on my masculinity? @Simon hurt your butt? I believe the caveat being that the 30 mph can be designated as a post June 1st transaction. -
That's pretty gross and something you'd think technology could help with.

He wasn't talking about his injuries. He was saying that his feet sweat so much it makes it hard for him to plant and break.
-
Same here. Maybe it's because we had note just the Sabres but the Braves too to distract us a bit, or maybe it's because Buffalo was a little less provincial back in the day? I was back in WNY early this summer and I have to admit that level of Bills devotion just seemed a little extreme for a dead time in the football calendar ...

They both lose to a 90 year old on a Rascal scooter.

Where does that put him relative to Coleman?
-
He's slower than Hamlin. Yes.
-
Can someone answer the question please?
-
He was a CB in high school. He ran 4.66 40 so that 100% qualifies him as a safety on this team.
-
Can he play safety? 😁

It's amazing how many Hall of Famers in all the major pro sports had their careers delayed or interrupted by their mandatory military obligations. Warren Spahn, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Roger Staubach, Elgin Baylor... Would you bet that he makes the 53 or not?

I'm a sucker for a LB who likes to hit and isn't afraid to throw his body around. Jimmy seems to understand what his meal ticket is right now. Let's see if it pays off for him.

Actually it was during that scene where he seemed to allude to the effect that his injuries have had on his play... but I didn't hear what he said. Anyone? If you're talking about the "cut scenes" I really respect the organizations decision to not show those. To me that specific aspect of Hard Knocks is a tasteless exploitation. I'm not sure what NIL money has to do with McDermott's ability to connect. I agree that the team generally doesn't seem very affected by his speeches. It's funny that there were comments at the top of the topic about the quality of McDermott's speech. Relative to his own speaking abilities, it was better than average. But he's a poor speaker so the bar is low. I believe his anecdote in episode 2 about the coach who threw a chair through the window was partly an attempt to mitigate the fact that he can't inspire his players through speech. On the plus side, it also shows that he understands his limitations which in and of itself, is a show of wisdom. I agree with your first sentence. Your second sentence is an interesting question. Speech is a very powerful tool when used judiciously. While Marv never won a Super Bowl, he did take his team to 4 straight and his former players have his messaging and philosophies imprinted in their minds till they die. I doubt McDermott's players will remember much of anything he said. I know I can be moved by a great speech and conversely, I often cringe when listening to people who try to, but can't deliver a message intended to move or motivate others. Emotion definitely has a place in pro football and all things being equal, a coach who can inspire with words has an advantage over one who cannot.

Is Cole Bishop our new Kaiir Elam? Sure is looking like it. Hasn’t been healthy and when he does play, he hasn’t been anything spectacular. -
Ciarlo sure is a small dude, but had some nice plays. That Chicago game was as bad as it was live, just a fugly performance
-
I also think he's a lock for the practice squad. Flashing repeatedly. Looking forward to seeing him in the next preseason game
