That's No Moon

Janoris Jenkins was a D2 transfer out of U of Florida. Just pointing out that it's a different path. Dugger was recruited to play D2 and played D2, Jenkins was recruited to a top flight D1 school and transferred down to D2 because of issues. Jenkins had 3 years worth of SEC tape. Dugger does not.

After watching that highlight reel (where he is out athleteing everyone) I'm not sure I see a safety. I think I see an OLB that stays on the field in nickel linebacker. He's 6'2, 220 lbs which is plenty big enough in the current NFL. He also looks like a big framed kid that could add 10 pounds in an NFL weight room with no problem. If he runs well and that's the plan with him color me intrigued. Not first round intrigued, but intrigued. He and Edmunds would shut that short passing game down. I'm still worried about the jump in competition but I could be sold if this is what he does regularly.

I guess it depends what you define as good and great but we are on the same page here.

UB is D-1. It's lower level D1 but it's still D1. D2 is completely different and it's frankly not even close to the same level of competition. I went to a D2 school. There are three kinds of kids who play D2 as opposed to D1. 1. D1 transfers who flamed out for whatever reason and who didn't want to sit out a year transferring 2. D1 level players who have horrible grades, test scores or major major character concerns 3. Players who started out late or were under-recruited had no D1 offers and ended up going to a D2 school for a chance to play. 4. Players who are truly D2 level players meaning not good enough to play D1 or D1-AA (FCS or FBS) Categories 1 and 2 are smaller than category 3 and Categories 1, 2, and 3 are smaller than category 4. D2 is mostly made up of players who were good but not great in high school or maybe even great in some cases but who have bad measurables. It's not being disparaging to say that. It's just the truth. When I was at IUP we had 2 players go the NFL and they were insanely good at the D2 level. One was OT Leander Jordan who was a 3rd round pick of the Panthers - he was category 3. Huge guy, good athlete, no offers. The other was TE John Jones was category 1 (despite what his Wiki says). He transferred to IUP from Pitt, was really good at D2 ended up a UDFA and played 3 seasons with the Ravens and won a Super Bowl. That's all. Nobody else.

If you are going to pick a D-2 safety in round one you better be right. He didnt start in high school until he was a senior, he only had D2 offers, he redshirted as a freshman and he will be 24 years old by the time the draft happens. I'm very very wary. I'm not saying he can't play and I'm not saying I wouldn't draft him but there is an ocean of difference between D1 and D2 in terms of competition and drafting a 24 year old D2 safety who has played against 0 NFL caliber WRs and TEs is one of the riskier things you can do with a first round pick. Day 2, day 3? Sure, knock yourself out.

Exactly. Just for comparison Allen Robinson had 158. Tyler Boyd had 148, DJ Moore had 135, etc. Hell, John Brown had 115. Let's assume for a moment that Diggs sees himself as minimally a 140 target WR. Where are those targets coming from in this offense?

Seifert: table for 3

Josh doesn't call the plays.

Just to inject a little logic here. He's angry with the Vikings because they are now a run heavy offense and they don't throw him the ball enough. How exactly would coming here solve that problem for him?

That's Hungarian for "wide receiver"

I like what this guy can do for an offense in creating mismatches other places. When he is in the field you really need to be careful with your personnel package because he will slaughter DBs and little linebackers. Line him up in the backfield with a versatile TE in the field and some speed in the slot and have some fun. The game HAS changed but there will be teams who have an asymmetrical response to the change. San Francisco made the Super Bowl pounding the ball. You will need to be able to throw, but right now NOBODY has a run stuffing middle linebacker on the field very much and if they do you can make it very very uncomfortable for them.

That's some Jerome Bettis looking stuff. I like it.

Because the Pegula sports empire is a well oiled machine and they want to achieve some synergies from the successes they have had with the Sabres and the multiple successful hires they have had in upper management

Different question. Can he play free safety?

That also only works if he doesn't sign the tag.

Thinking that Jerry Crafts could be a starting lineman on a team with Super Bowl aspirations.

Nope. Red helmets with blue facemasks are a big hint.

Tougher schedule, horrible travel. Under.

US Soccer swiped that already.

I get that. He's in the HoF because he was marketable and well-known not because he did much of anything. He's the Kardashian of the HoF

If Joe Namath can be in for essentially winning one game and being charismatic in NY I think Eli should be in with 2 sb wins over Brady. Those sayi g that he ride the defense to those wins don't remember those games very well. Eli needed drives to win in both games and made huge throws in both. That throw to Manningham was insane.

Pat's lineman got busted for that not that long ago.

It's a long running inside joke.

I'll go back to this, when the Gunners start playing Prem League matches in the States then I will be ok with playing NFL games in London. If they even mentioned this as possibility the fan base would hit the roof.

It's virtually the definition of plastic. Let's cow tow to the new fans we hope to get rather than serve those who have been through thick and thin with the club and who ultimately end up paying it's bills.
