"Hangartner denied making any racial slurs, and he took a polygraph which corroborated his claim."
Lie detector tests are worthless. They are merely a distraction during an interrogation designed to have you 'confess'.
That said, if the dude can play center, I;m good with it.

My wife is always telling me that I forget the things that she says she has told me.
The thing that I recall about Conlan that I liked was that he could fill a hole and take on blockers. That quality is what I see missing in PP.
I was very excited about getting him back healthy. I thought that he would have a great year. I also remember reading articles about how pumped up he was etc.
Then, in that meaningless preseason game, I saw him get run over by Portis at the goal line. I was amazed that Portis (of all people) seemed to want to score a TD in a meaningless game more than the guy who had everything to prove wanted anything to do with stopping him. This had nothing to do with surrounding talent etc. This had everything to do with desire. This was man on man - LB against RB - just like the drills we used to do in practice. That is when I started to get concerned and noticed during the season that he had a habit of trying to run around blockers.
I don't disagree with your assessment of Poz. The linebacker position is one where athleticism and desire can take you far. Conlan played like a battering ram (his intensity was never in question - watch the beating the Chiefs put on him on the Monday night game. He didn't back down even as Okoye and Word blasted him backward.) until he broke down. Thus far, Poz plays like a finesse player. At least he looks like a superhero.

Nice try.
So I will go ahead and mark you down as someone who thinks PP is as good as Conlan.
You clearly didn't read my earlier post - I'm not convinced Poz will ever be more than a solid contributor.
Your memory is fading. Conlan was a very good player for a couple of years, but his stick legs limited his ability to take on monster backs and linemen.
-
How many of Conlan's tackles were five to ten yards down field.
Conlan also did not have a habit of getting run over by anyone or of runnin around blockers and not filling holes.
See Okoye, Christian. Word, Barry.

Poz may develop into a good one. I give him a pass for inexperience, but he doesn't seem to be a fluid player, or despite his 'combine' excellence, a very athletic one. He looked stiff, and not particularly physical throughout the season. It may be that the game is still a bit to quick for him to process, and that eventually the body will comply with what the brain commands.

Here's to all that gorgeous snatch in FLA!

That was perfectly stated.
I tried to capture the spirit of the thing.

BUT, his addition would make Schobel and Kelsay instantly better.
Nothing will make Schobel and Kelsay instantly better. One is a finesse end with the clock ticking, the other is merely pedestrian.
-
I remember him getting absolutely blown up by Okoye and Word in that Monday night debacle. Big neck, twig legs, no bubble.

Normally sure-handed Bill Brooks dropping two easy 3rd down passes in the XXVIII to kill drives in the 1st half.
The 3rd and forever conversion by the Gints in XXV.
Bruce barely missing Hostetler's hand and ball in the end zone in XXV.
Lofton's tipped catch in XXV (if the ball was a bit further along it would have been 6) in XXV.
Beebe's end zone drops in XXVI.
Al Edwards on the field in XXV.
Kelly's sack and fumble/interception in XXVII (returned for TD).

If I owned a restaurant, I'd want Ray on the knife.

can Warner do a single !@#$ing interview without mentioning God or Jesus?
I mean, this is a football game, right?
Equally annoying is Akers' (philly kicker) exaggerated gestures to 'God' every time he makes a kick. When he missed, he just clapped his hands. Guess god didn't help matters or deserve praise for his/her guidance on the miss.
I absolutely hate that shiit.

AND???
Her fiance is the white guy who wanted to be black on 90120.

I used to like Sterling Sharpe. Clear, intelligible. I don't know why he was dumped. Shannon is amusing, but a cat dropped a load on his tongue.

Moneyball

What about Jarko Ruutu?
-
I seem to remember Richmond Webb doing pretty good against Bruce mano a mano.
I forgot how Reggie White did against the Bills OL in the 1990 game. Be interesting to know.
-
I was impressed with Denney this year save for his blatant lack of contain on wide plays (Kelsay too). It's like there's a vortex in the center of the defensive line that sucks the bills ends in unblocked.

Lott was mediocre in the 90s with the Raiders and Jets. Basically slow and late to the pile. Post 49ers, we used to call him 'late hit' Lott. Playing without regard to his physical well being in the 80's had its toll. Its a joke he made the all NFL 90s decade team.
-
He is kinda small.
-
Not bad. Cherry was a fierce hitter as well as a sound cover guy. Top 10? Maybe. Lemme see....
Ronnie Lott
Paul Krause
Kenny Easley
Ken Houston
Willie Wood
Sammy Baugh
Larry Wilson
Donnie Shell
Darren Woodson
......is he as good as, or better than, Steve Atwater, Mel Renfro, or John Lynch? I dunno.
I'd take Cherry's all-round game over Lynch and Atwater. Atwater and Lynch were great, but I see them primarily as hitters and run supporters. You couldn't go wrong with them, but I think Cherry was a great hitter and more athletic than either.
As for Krause, my recollection of him was that he played deep and smart - I don't remember him being much of a hitter (especially with that D-line).
-
I always liked Deron Cherry of the Chiefs. Excellent all around player. Has to be top 10 all time.
-
If Baltimore had any sort of offense, they'd have won by 40.
-
At least he got a flu shot.
Having a music discussion at a party last nite....
