Are you implying that Josh did not actually get diggs pregnant?

I don’t disagree- I just think it’s the reality of where we are, with the team likely having one splash move left coming out of the draft and the Hopkins situation turning on them. I suspect he was plan an and Floyd was plan b. if there’s anything that my gut puts as a disclaimer on the defense comments - I think a reliably impactful pass rush is about the best you can hope for an ROI with. A sack or pressure are about the only way to get the ball back from an elite offense, so in a shootout, I’ll take pass rushers if investing. But even that’s a challenge.

I’ve come to terms with Hopkins being plan A, and when the price went up we pulled the trigger on Floyd instead as the next most impactful way to spend

Can someone lecture me asap about how vital these events are

feels like you said you understand what you are seeing but didn’t actually breakdown anything you thought he did well beyond a ranking improving. what do you think he excelled at schematically?

it’s indeed possible, though let’s also say there’s a good chance Josh isn’t calling the team for a domestic dispute the night before a playoff game. Maybe…. but I’ll say a lot less of the “off the record” stuff happens with on duty officers than it once did. There are far too many ways for it to blow up into something even bigger. photos of a cop at the house or his gf making a comment and “where’s the paperwork on this” or “what were you doing showing up at a private residence off duty” gets messy fast. Police were dispatched to joshs house is a bold statement though. And if this guys hearing it from two unrelated sources it’s not a good secret. So I’m doubting it’s true.

the call is still logged as incoming in the 911 system. Body cams are public record, assuming BPD uses them. Police sweep much less under the rug than they once were able to.

calls are public record boss - you’d have the documentation and not just sketchy comments

as both will be here, power plays in June will only go so far. Hopefully not total lack of faith in him as that would be worse than most possibilities

I do not think diggs was in 1-1 or 2-2 meetings for several hours.

would be real easy for him to show up, make a couple snarky comments, get asked to meet, call his agent up, make some more snarky remarks about stuff not working for about five minutes before leaving out, agent has a semi cryptic call with beane about needing appreciation and then repeat the next day. I really wouldn’t be shocked if it’s like 3-4 interactions totaling like 30 mins combined and not some deep and thoughtful review of serious issues while creating organizational action plans together.

and you would be the first person to tell the story in that format. It’s always “found out” man. Kills the credibility when they can’t figure out what it is, but swear they know it happened

All I know is it was used multiple times last season, and even if true that it happened, she didn’t find out 4 times. And it wasn’t news to us in April when it landed a bit harder without the other distractions

unless he’s retiring or sitting out games and ruining his own legacy, he has very little leverage

he literally can’t get out so the “if he wanted out” speculation from some is totally misreading the chess board.

plot hole: the internet knew that rumor in November, so I doubt “she found out” I’m January

I suspect that was probably brief and in passing, not 16 hours in a room hashing things out

he’s a ferocious competitor but also not particularly mature… that he’s dug himself in deep over something dumb and doesn’t have an easy path to save face is totally believable, whether it’s conscious on his part or not. the art will be giving him an off ramp. I’m not sure McD or Josh made particularly great comments if that’s an accurate assessment but we will see.

I’m not confident diggs knows

Mathematically it doesn’t work. even if diggs wants out, it’s not possible this off-season. He will have to show up at some point. It’s a 45m dead cap. We could

As simple as Josh chose team over diggs, perhaps.

That’s the only outcome that’s literally impossible

you aren’t what we call a numbers guy, eh?

well I’m not sure absolutely ruining before it starts is better than possibly having something go wrong later

and odds are that will make no difference as they have connected thousands upon thousands of times including practice is it possible they find some oddball thing that situationally comes into play on a big throw late in the season? Sure, it’s possible. Or maybe diggs avoided tearing his acl today. The net positive is so slim on the actual X’s and O’s
