    I almost hit him with my car as a teenager downtown before LOL true story.  Night before a season opener, near all the bars (I wasnt there for that), kept creeping up in my car as the white line was behind these 2 buildings... parked cars on side of road and busy traffic, very tricky to see, busy traffic.  I krpt creeping up and was tunnel visioned on an opening.

     

    Getting ready to hit the gas and outta the corner of my eye I see something. Stomp the brake! A VERY ANNOYED FAMILIAR LOOKING FACE CROSSES IN FRONT HAHA

     

    I yelled, "I ALMOST HIT THE 'PRISON BREAK GUY!'"

     

    MY BAD WILLIAM! I'M NOW MUCH MORE AWARE WHEN CREEPING FORWARD IN THOSE SCENARIOS

    Funny, I almost collided with Mr. Fichtner at the airport in Cabo San Lucas several years ago. I was maneuvering through a crowded food court and suddenly found myself face to face with the battered husband from Drowning Mona. We darn near smashed our foreheads together. 

     

    Watch where you're going, Fichtner!

  2. That is when they are 100% healthy, which never happens, and it still not that great of a lineup. The DL rotation looks solid, but not spectacular, and it's by far the best unit. And who knows how well the three "new guys" are actually going to play.

     

    Of course they "could be good", but odds are they won't be much better than they already are. 

  3. Well, it can't be much worse than what's on the field today.

     

    I think they were extremely conservative with his recovery, and probably planned to keep him out through the bye week regardless of how ready he was. I am confident that his knee is doing well, that he has learned the playbook inside and out, and that he has watched months worth of tape. He's a smart kid and I think he'll be OK within a couple of games. 

     

    Welcome back, Max!

  4. Yes, Beane calls in the picks, but it's hard for me to believe he does so in a vacuum, or that he would consistently go against his management/coaching team's consensus to make questionable picks. I think he's smart enough to know that's not where you micromanage. 

     

    But it is his management/coaching team, and if they are collectively so ineffective at picking impact players in the early rounds, then maybe it is time for him to go. It's too bad, because I think he's a top-notch GM who has made a lot of bold and beneficial moves over the years. He just doesn't have the right team advising him on players and scouting.

    I wish Daboll had become HC.  He grew up in Buffalo and really thought he would stay as OC having Allen as his main guy.  The offense hasn’t been the same since he left.  

    It's too bad the emergence of Dart has probably secured Daboll's job in NY for another year. For a while there, it was looking like he might be available come December.
