Amazing, thanks for filling up my passive work schedule haha

Side note, because I do the same thing and loved this one...... have another good recommendation to start watching, like ASAP? LOL

Nice, gives me something to turn on in background at work! Hearing the defenses opening statements: "The incident happened Dec 2, the Patriots had won the night before. He was in a good mood. Mr Diggs played well....." Lie #1 lol

100% think the Von signing would be a great cheaper move, and with the 3-4 I could see an interest on his part... kinda depends on the way he left though. I dont know that it was ugly, but I dont think it was a typical amicable separation either..... we'll see

Disagree, but with caveat nhl playoffs are the goat. Nothing like a series out there and the hatred the grows with each game. No practical way to do this in nfl unfortunately but it still has its own charm

My dad worked directly with his wife in an accouting department, during Marrone's time at SU & during his Buffalo days. Met her a few times as a kid, super sweet and my dad spoke highly of her too. Doug came in for her lunch breaks during the offseason, and my dad said he'd wave say hi and let him be a regular human. First time he saw Doug after the Bills hiring, my dad waved and said "Congrats Coach" (his desk had a bunch of Bills stuff on it) and he rolled his eyes and said real sarcastically "yeah... buffalo... my dream job" LOL My dad's came home and said "THAT GUYS A F**** #######" and told me that story LOL one of like 3xs ive ever heard an f-bomb from my old man 🤣🤣🤣 Dude coached a mildly successful small time Syracuse and acted like Vince Lombardi lol

And these types of decisions amplify themselves- good or bad. Hell, even if Lions had taken JSN and he developed the same way, you now have 2 beasts.... or you could trade one off for premium draft picks, and keep the guy on younger contract. By continuing to select cost controlled players at premium positions, and in opening up the extra cap room, you can actually have more ammo come Free Agency. Which is the way to address a need. What better way than a player with an NFL track record, a proven floor, personalized fit AND you know youre acquiring a guy who wants to be there. No, there is no concrete rule that 100% of the time you MUST take the premium position guy. But as an overall philosophy, if you feel players are close, its a great way to break ties. It would take being magnitudes of better at a non-premium to over ride this... id have to have a young stacked depth chart at the premium position to pass.

Amen. The 5 or 6 posts above you explain it better than any news source ive ever seen. The quality here at TBD is through the roof!!! Thank you posters

Its because you're looking at it through the lens of 2026 only. You need to reload the pipeline constantly at WR, Edge, and CB. If you look at it as 2026 - 2030, im sure you'll see why we invested a high pick in a rookie Edge?

What makes you say this??? The kid looks like he eats steel plates for breakfast, lunch and dinner already. I have 0 worries about him beefing up, its his biggest strength

Bottom third percentile in height, weight & arm length all scream NFL slot to me... as well as struggling for years in Big12, dropping to MAAC, and immediately shooting out of a cannon in production, ALL SCREAM NFL Slot, until proven otherwise. If it took him going Big12 to MAAC to break out, I dunno how anyone is expecting him to jump to the size/speed/length of NFL corners and immediately have success there. Remember how everyone in the NFL media/scouting started comp'ing every raw athletic QB's to Josh Allen? Because they saw a miracle firsthand, and its never happened again Let's not do that with JSN here, thinking this kid could do the same. He absolutely projects as a slot, that can flex outside time to time, and that's fine. We want football players, and if he does that we wont care what position

It's this. Plus his Senior Bowl week and not being afraid to jump in there and show off what he's got... and that's not nothing. He was the highest rated kid at the Senior Bowl, where the average attendee's high hopes are to bump their stock to 3rd/4th rd/5th rd. He went out there and kicked a** all week, knowing that his Sr. year wasnt what it was supposed to be... basically the opposite of what teammate Peter Woods did. The guy we took in the 6th Toriano Pride Jr, had the fastest 40 at the combine this year.... so 2 years in a row we've drafted the fastest CB in the draft. It shows me Beane and staff are aware, and probably liked what they saw out of our young speed guys last year in Bishop and Hairston when on the field.

I agree. I grew up in a house, that looking back, bought into the 'reefer madness' type thinking. I heard all these crazy stories that with the power of hindsight, realize were urban myths.... aside from the whole "gateway drug", which is actually booze for most IMO. So when I got to high school, I'd fully believed all the weed rumors "it kills brain cells every time" or "ever heard of the kid who ate a brownie and tried to tight rope walk a power line" (L-o-L, ridiculous)..... but then there were kids that raved about it, even athletes. None of them died, or had anything bad happen. Eventually I tried it (while drinking), and it was awesome. I kept trying it, and had no real consequences, and figured out my parents were full of s***. That eventually evolved into me not believing what they'd said about real drugs like coke and a bit into pills (thank God back then when they were all real from a pharmacy, just 2nd hand). I've got 6 years clean, and thats one thing I've purposely set out to do different with my kids. I'm fairly open about my drug/alcohol abuse with them... and I don't lie about weed. I don't downplay it either, it can have negative effects on school, and personality when young, but mainly that it can put you in a bad circle of the wrong crowd. Alcohol & weed have a time and a place, and I'd prefer they stay away even as adults.... but if Im being honest, weed is by far the least harmful, and in no way belong in the same category as pills/powder/needles

Here's my educated input based on former addictions (6yrs clean) and somebody who did a lot of white as well as adderall. The second I saw that Gase intro press conference, I knew that dude was geeked ouuuuuuttttttt. That was 100% cocaine and anxiety of "everyone knows". That looked like a literal nightmare lol As far as PED's go; it's adderall meds that anyone with half a brain would use. I think abuse might look very similar between the two, and probably have a good amount of overlap in these guys. ADD meds will give you a jolt of focus and energy, without jacking up your motor skills and making your brain crazy erratic. Put it this way, fighter pilots up until recently have been given dextroamphetamine (basically adderall - now its modafanil which is like a nootropic - less harsh), if the other were the alternative to winning a war, I have no doubt these guys would be given powder..... but man as much as white will wake you up - you're not focusing, your motor skills are TRASH. Maybe Im underestimating my fellow addicts, but I think blow would be the absolute worst PED. Blow+booze is for "recreation", and I bet many o' scripts of ADD meds get crushed during a HC's work week https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240314-the-drug-pilots-take-to-stay-awake

I love it. Not even as much about him, as im excited for the signaling of a philosophy tweak. Theres no reason to not give these a shot. Were the opposite of the Bengals, where he never had any chance. At least get him in a serious organization and see if you can get anything out of him. And if not, were not paying the kid. We should have a rotation of these guys, just g2 be careful to not keep more than 1 around at any time. Im tired of the choir boys only
