  1. Harrison is older and has taken a lot more snaps than Lorax though.
  2. That'd be rather alarming actually.
  3. Wow what's going on here? The Preds look like the better team most of the game and then in one fell swoop the Penguins get three goals again, this time much later. Rinne has to get his game figured out and the Preds gotta find a way to get more than one of the 40 shots on net to get in there.
  4. Agreed. Still the predators looked mostly in control of the game. Although, it's troubling that for as few shots the pens put on goal they scored so many goals. Plenty of blocked shots but Rinne has to stop that 4th goal.
  5. Who is more right or who knows how to phrase it better.
  6. http://www.richmond.com/sports/mcelroy-varina-s-hershai-james-and-nfl-all-pro-richard/article_c7c193af-2f9c-5c7f-9519-a38111c18873.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share That Richard Sherman sher is a jerk.
  7. This is someone trusting the process.
  8. I feel like some of us aren't trusting the process.
  9. Gotta scrimp somewhere when you're paying your QB $20 million/year, even more so when you choose to invest heavily in all of your defensive stars. Just compare the Hawks' books: https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/seattle-seahawks/to the Pats': https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/new-england-patriots/. On the first list we see a lot of big #'s occupying the top of the list and on the second you see much lower numbers even at the very top. Brady takes the team-friendly deal and restructures regularly, allowing his team to sign the pieces they need, which are rarely big names and big splashes. Say what you will about having the best QB of all time or whatever, but a certain amount of their success can be attributed to Brady not being greedy. You can even look at the list of QB contracts and the top 10 names are names that haven't been to the Super Bowl since their signed their respective extensions. It's still a team game.
  10. Nice! What was your reasoning for picking them? I don't think anyone even called them to win the first round.
  11. I mean, the guy is still recovering from the ACL surgery. Tail end of it maybe, but I wouldn't worry about his speed at this point.
  12. I am with you here. It's gotta be off-field stuff. Certainly the staff couldn't have been happy with his hammy pull last year. He was obviously out drinking with Shady. He was asked to be mostly a space-eater and he did a good job at that. Just not the kind of job you tend to notice while watching a game.
  13. They can afford to give up the chances the way Pekka Rinne has been playing. The Ducks had a couple good games offensively in the conference final, but for the most part Rinne has been lights out.
  14. Nashville is that low-seeded that got hot at the right time. The 2012 Kings come to mind. This is gonna be another fun series.
  15. Man that was a hell of a game. Hate to see the Pens move on, hope Nashville clobbers them.
  16. Personally, I'm just rooting for them, but I have always had a soft spot for the franchise. I liked a lot of the expansion teams in the early 90s growing up. Something about the timing of all these new teams coinciding with my burgeoning passion for the sport. Also I feel for the town overall as Augie alludes to the general melancholy about it. Oddly it is a pretty big city... almost a million residents.
  17. There is probably some truth to that.
  18. Let's not kid ourselves. The Hawks offense has been, at best, inconsistent over the past two seasons. I get that Sherman is hard to handle, but he is smart and a hard worker. He's probably right, but he needs to find a better way get his point across. They are still a team and he may be dividing them.
  19. We better get him signed up if there are concerns about Clay already.
  20. If he is rehabbing similar to Listenbee, then he probably won't be able to play this year. And it's his final year on his rookie deal. So that, along with the off-field issues, probably lead his release.
  21. https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-bills-release-offensive-tackle-cyrus-kouandjio/ Interesting tidbit there. Not sure if someone already shared or not, but CK was 29th out of 74 in pass blocking efficiency with a 95.2 score. NFL average was 94.1. Worth noting that Cordy Glenn's was 96.4, best in the division.
  22. Would you rather have 20 7th round comp picks or 4 3rd round comp picks though?
  23. I didn't realize the number was that high. Makes a lot more sense.
  24. Well, Anderson had quite a bounce back game! He's going to have to be just as good or better on Thursday.
