  1. Im all for takingchances. I would give Honey Badger a chance. I would take a chance on Lattimore. I would not touch RM with a barge pole.
  2. I'm not sold on him being as good as people seem to think he is. I know his stats for run blocking and pass pro were good when we were interested a few years ago but since then I have tried to focus on him when watching the Hawks and he seemed very susceptible to speed rushers with inside moves as well as the outside. Not saying he would not be an upgrade just maybe not as much as people think. A good RT is not easy to find.
  3. Don't worry. Williams will get him back by taking over his position at NT.
  4. Yes. A lot better. Sorry to disappoint you.
  5. Don't know what happened to my post. I said that he mentioned that NO might not be a good place for him, not the folks who were asking the questions. BTY he also said he didn't want to be called Honey Badger anymore.
  6. I think that's pretty funny - one Sunday a year! Love it.
  7. Jerry loves him some Romo. I think he always did.
  8. I saw him on the morning show and he said he did not feel NO was a good idea. Pretty straightforward. Wasn't putting the team down, just referencing his issues. Don't know if ours is the best lockerroom in terms of veteran leadership and support, but it wouldn't be the worst either. If he is there in the third I would not be in the least upset, depending on how else the draft went for us to that point and who all was left on the board.
  9. Tyler Bray is Ryan Mallett without Petrino and the SEC passing records. That said, I liked Mallett two years ago and still do today. Interesting that the Bills are checking him out given their lack of interest in Mallett (understandable though given they got to draft Kelvin Sheppard in the 3rd instead).
  10. If he falls in the draft I'm definitely a buyer. He's not a bad kid either and he understands that he has behavioural issues that need to be managed. That in itself is positive. When asked recently if he would like to be draftd by the Saints he actually said no because it was too close to home and to trouble. Buff is a long way from the bayou.
  11. I can leg press 30 lbs 700 times.
  12. Having an openly gay player on an NFL roster would be problematic for the team IMO. Might be possible and maybe even desirable but at the very least the guy would have to be total badass and a great player. MT will be good but the consensus seems to be that he is far from being the next Ray Lewis.
  13. I am ok and hopeful with RB. I think his heart has always been in the right place (though many would doubt it). I remember seeing him after the Lossman fumble in the Jets game, shortly before DJ was fired. Often you cannot read a person by looking at their face and judging their reactions. Sometimes you can. Brandon was sincerely horrified. He really wants to win IMO. And he is smart (never hurts), so he will take counsel from qualified football professionals. I don't think he is a pushover and I expect him to make his own decisions and trust in his own judgement. Anyway, he's now firmly strapped into the drivers seat so its all on him (at least as long as Ralph Wilson owns the team). Naturally I wish him every success.
  14. Sounds like a good plan to me ... if at first you don't succeed...
  15. Another # 1 overall. We're making up for prior draft mistakes (if nothing else).
  16. Risk is no NFL experience/track record. College players do what they are told. Pros need to buy in.
  17. Chan is done. Stick a fork in him. The remaining question is whether Buddy goes with him.
  18. So does that mean your opinion will depend on his 3 cone drill? Or are you open to viewing the game tape and his upcoming bowl game before deciding?
  19. Byrd, who may now be signing a bigger contract than Weddle, is another example of a pro bowl quality player who fell in the draft because of his 40 time.
  20. Sure, but few pro talent guys predicted that Russell Wilson could play at this level too tho clearly he can. I guess my point is that most scouts and GMs can't think outside the box and are overly reliant on measurables. Clearly there are a few who are capable of taking a more comprehensive, less limiting view - like Seattle's GM. Hope our guys can demonstrate the same ability because I agree we need help at a number of positions.
  21. Vontaze ran a horrible 40 and is getting some consideration as DROY. Bengals think he can move back inside if RM is not returning. Teo is a lot better than Burfict.
  22. Pickett's charge, Hitler invading Russia, yeah I think bringing Chan back would be right up there.
  23. After years of losing, just making it to The Bottomfeeders AFC East Basement Bowl is good enuf for me.
