Miyagi-Do Karate

First we are talking about "Tommy Tremble" and now some guy named "Dazz Newsome." Come on-- these names have to be made up!

One of their best defensive efforts. Offense was a bit stagnant at times, but then the “good” streaky Griffen showed up. I actually thought JG3 played pretty well on both sides of the floor.

Cook as a replacement for Kroft or Smith would be good. I still think Knox is going to be our best option as TE1, and I fully expect him to take his game to the next level. He is, by far, the most athletic TE compared to any other guy that will be floating out on the market. Can he finally put it together?

Tyler Bass is like:

Very diplomatically put by Feliciano.

This is the NFL equivalent of a first-world problem!

You wonder though if those teams will really get much of a competitive advantage. On a whole, with all the cuts and all the teams limited by cap space, my basic knowledge of economics suggests that contract prices will be low (high supply; low demand = low prices). So, other than maybe a few premium FA's, you wonder if the market will be so depressed that there won't be much of a competitive disadvantage. It will be interesting to see the flood of players on the market-- makes me hopeful that we will re-sign Milano.

i was desperately looking for a GIF and you pull pretty much the perfect one. Well done, sir.

If getting stiff armed by Josh Allen is disqualifying, then we can also Kiss Aaron Donald good bye.

yeah, you could be right. we will see. I do think though most personal injury lawyers with a slam dunk case know how to get these things done. It’s in their interest not to pursue it in court, which will just slow down how they get paid. And the math here isn’t going to be disputed Much— I think you get someone to put together basically a life care plan and estimate of lost earning capacity. If I had to guess, this is going to be like a $10M+. the one issue might be whether Britt Reid doesn’t have the money and his dad or the chiefs won’t contribute to a settlement.

I actually expect Reid is going to settle this thing before a lawsuit is even filed. The family will likely be able to get a really great personal injury lawyer given the publicity and the deep pockets; and most of the really good lawyers, can easily settle something like this right away. Makes no sense for anyone to fight this in the courts.

Totally forgot to DVR the UNC game. Just caught the last 2 minutes. Anyone have any thoughts on the game?

It's hard for me to discern any of this because JJ Watt is officially dead to me. 😀

that is a solid book. I remember reading it when it came out (1999 or 2000?), when Bourdain wasn’t nearly as famous. There are some other pretty good chef/insider biographies. I remember really liking the book Heat, about a writer who goes and works for Mario Batalli at Babbo. I actually liked that one better than Kitchen Confidential.

where would Dupree play? Seems more like your classic 3-4 OLB.

yeah, for real. I remember when I had just signed up for ticket in 2005, and there was a lot of chatter about it getting moved off DTV then. I was worried because I had just sprung for the satellite! I may try to go search the archive to see if I can dig up some old threads!

There seems to have been an annual “DTV is losing Sunday ticket” thread on here since at least 2000. at this point, I don’t care. I have directv for ticket and when they are done with it, I will go to whoever has it.

pretty interesting. I didn’t realize Stewart wore football stuff. When I just looked it up on wiki, looks like he had a NFL sponsorship, which is why he wore that NFL gear. Out of curiosity, what got you thinking of Stewart all of a sudden? The Tiger crash?

Tough loss to G Tech. Nice to see Edwards get some quality minutes and he did pretty well. When the offense went a little stagnant with about 7 minutes left, that’s really when it got away from them.

Are these guys football players or Garbage Pail Kid cards?

Now you tell me?! I was stressed for weeks that he was gone!!

I don't know-- his rookie year was a waste due to COVID. So, I would view Fromm as basically a rookie this year. I doubt they bank on him as the number 2 as essentially a rookie. At least Webb has been around the NFL for a bit, and I think has had some live snaps. Webb was a 3rd round pick, FWIW.

Actually, you are right that a lot of those guys are better. I was mostly talking about the guys in the last para of the article, since the featured guys are all going to be too expensive. The reality is is that the guys in the last para is the market for us.

If they don’t re-sign Barkley, it Means they think Davis Webb is ready to be the 2. Otherwise, I don’t see them going out to get someone better than Barkley. And from the article, not sure any of those guys are better than Barkley anyway.

0% chance he is re-signed. I think the better 3rd RB is a Rex Burkhead or James White, who could take over for both Yeldon and Taiwan Jones— and catch a lot of balls and play ST.
