Yeah I was also concerned after he didn't take a snap all preseason. He looked so good last year i expected him to take a step forward this camp

Strange, none of those names spells Mike White. He should’ve been the first one released.

They must have changed the camera angle for the Tampa kicker because his were all clean through the middle.

He looked a lot better than Andreesson out there, so it's going to be extra painful when we keep Buffalo Joe on the roster and Ciarlo gets snatched off waivers.

Very tempting! Think of all the cap space we could clear up! Good thing the cap is only an illusion. Rough day for a lot of hopeful young men, but it’s not necessarily the end.

What a wonderful little secret...

They didn't even trust him to take a preseason snap. He's toast

Would be better for the fans if they brought back the weekly cutdown requirements like the good old days. Preseason has become unbearable with nothing real to talk about from late July to early September.

Is Josh going to be cut ?!??! 😢

Yeah, the three big returns all involved Shenault failing his assignment in some way iirc.

LOL They had just mentioned right before the start that he wasn't playing. What a couple a Goobs.

Agreed. Marino is being objective. He sees the potential because he’s a rookie, but also offers critique where appropriate.

Yea, I also heard "Baker Mayfield" and thought, what?... he's playing?... wasn't supposed to be.

And...........

A few as in three? I definitely missed that.

I love how he has played, but ultimately, this isn't some sort of make or break for the team. We're talking about a 5 or 6 guy in the WR corps (and the latter only if they keep 6, which is probably unlikely). I doubt they would trade Samuel to make room for him.

American democracy, in my opinion, died with the Citizens United v. FEC decision back in 2010. I’ll concede, however, that it’s neither productive nor healthy to operate in the political realm as if that’s the case. I view Donald Trump as much more a symptom than a cause. I don’t see why population size is even relevant to the question of how a society will respond under social democratic policies. You simply scale up or down all of the nationalized goods and services, depending on the market demand. The far more relevant metric to any proposed Nordic model is probably consumption as a percentage of national GDP. The U.S. economy tends to hover around 70% for private household expenditures, which helps make it a very strong candidate for far-left economic policies. Getting back to the Bolivia topic, since it’s a super interesting one…their country’s current political turmoil has practically nothing to do with the eternal philosophical debate of capitalism vs. socialism. Let’s all think about why Evo Morales and MAS (Movimiento al Socialismo) failed: 1. Widespread government corruption: not unique to socialists. Why did the far-left rise to power there in the first place?? 2. Internal strife among political factions of MAS: same argument as above. 3. Dangers of having an unbalanced national economy: EASILY the most important reason for the Bolivian far-left’s demise. Their country has long been way too dependent on the influx of U.S. dollars from raw material exports. So when extraction production declines and international market prices also drop on these exported goods, combined with general international inflation on most others goods and services, the entire national economy will inevitably tank. But again…what did the non-socialists do to help diversify the economy while they were previously in power?? 4. Various environmental crises that have harmed Bolivia’s economy: poor sustainability practices (related to point # 3), pollution, and civil infrastructure/agriculture damage from a rapidly changing climate. The Bolivian government actually has really good environmental regulations under MAS, but their government is too corrupt and ineffective to enforce them. But yet again…what makes anyone think right-wingers will be better on these issues?? Historically, they are most certainly not! It does look like Bolivia is heading in Argentina’s direction of painful austerity measures, so we’ll see how long that goes until its citizens cycle back to the left. Bolivia’s best economic hope lies with their immense lithium resources, but I have my usual doubts that far-right Bolivian capitalists can impel their nation to efficient lithium extraction without horribly exploiting labor, the land, and indigenous communities. Then again, yes I do understand that the far-left had their share of opportunities to deliver and did not. Such is politics.

Not opposed to Hamler over Moore.

FWIW, Shenault made a few epic breakdowns in kickoff coverage yesterday. As fearless as he is as a returner, he seems fearful as a coverage guy.

30 more to go…
