    Remember... Lakes are melting hunks of ice.  See were Escarpment goes under Lake Huron and water spills into Georgian Bay?  See where it goes under L.Michigan @ Door County and water spills into Green Bay?

     

    L.Superior to the North I believe is volcanic, basalt.  The Michigan-Huron, Erie share common impounded geology.  Georgian Bay, Green Bay are beyond that.  Superior different.  Ontario different.

     

    I am NOT a geologist... But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

     

    Any professional geologist out there care to expound?  This is an experts only slope.

     

    Thanks for the explanation.

     

    And "salties" = ocean-going ships? (either that or some little fishies)

    Yeah... Because thats the fetch of the Bay pointed right at Syracuse and then added with Ontario.

     

    Geologically the Bay is a spill over from Huron.  The Niagara Escarpment goes under water there and pops up again rounding and impounding Huron and L.Michigan all the way down through Door County, Green Bay into Lower Wisconsin:

    I'm enjoying this discussion.

     

    Can you explain a bit how the escarpment does this rounding and impounding?

    I've been here in the Raleigh area for 5 years now and this year was by far the worst one we had for pollen.  I remember one day in particular where a specific section of my morning drive, it looked like I was driving through cartoon nuclear fallout.  I'm fortunate that I don't have any allergy issues, but it's so bad here that it has introduced a new problem: getting pollen under my contact lenses.  That right there is brutal.

     

    We're past that season now though, thank god.

    I lived in Fuquay-Varina, right next to Holly Springs.

     

    That must be rough when it gets under your contact lenses! Ouch.

    Never saw the yellow pollen blankets in Pa growing up, like what appears down here in the South annually and covers everything daily in the Spring no matter how often you clean it off. Not coincidentally, experienced allergies for the first time after moving here, just one of those things to get used to. I think there’s something to the notion of eating local honey though, to help acclimatize your system—local farmers’ markets are a great source for that, fwiw. 

    I have recently lived in the Raleigh and Charlotte areas of North Carolina. In March or April, you may find your car covered in a layer of yellow pine pollen.

     

    A friend who has a lot of pine trees told me that this yellow pollen will turn into black mold if it is not taken care of.

     

    Southern Arizona is much better place as far as allergies are concerned.

    I also want to mention that after looking at the current roster, especially the OL position, there is finally some great competition going on for a roster spot. Seeing how many FA OL Beane accumulated and the draft was more of a defensive draft, do you think that Beane could trade 1 or 2 of our OL? I’d hate to see them just outright waive some of these players and receive no compensation for them because they are under contract to us.

     

    People are quick to dismiss this possibility, but as someone mentioned, we got a 5th for OT Marshall Newhouse last year.

     

    Look what they did with this "small change" draft capital. I think it was a 5th to move up for Cody Ford, wasn't it?

     

    Does Vlad Ducasse have any value to another team? A starting guard with years of experience? Give me a 6th or 7th for him, that's more change in my pocket.

     

    Bodine, maybe Teller, who knows what other teams can use once TC begins and injuries happen?

     

    Beane is a master at using his resources.

    Unfortunately It’s not a video. Sorry for the confusion. 

     

    What I meant was that there is a section in the article on each player, where Beane describes why he drafted each guy (and what he saw on their film).

     

    I can post his quotes on what he saw in Knox if you’d like. 

    I know you were talking about the article, not the video.

     

    Please post the quotes about Knox. Fascinating player - no TDs in college, etc. I love the pick, and would love to see the analysis behind it. Thanks in advance.

    Beane goes over his thought process behind drafting each player. If someone wants quotes on a specific guy let me know. 

    I would love to see the room's reaction when they selected Dawson Knox, and then Belichek immediately trades out of the next spot. Like we stole the friggin' tight end the Pats wanted. I'll bet the room went wild, but they could never show that stuff publicly.

     

    BillsFan4, can you please show the process behind drafting Knox?

    14 tackles, 3.5 for loss against LSU for DPOW honors; for how we coached up Milano, I don't see how anyone can dislike this in terms of value and (eventual) positional need

    In this clip you can see some of the "runs into blockers" from his evaluation.

     

    Another weird e v a l: "sees the field through a straw" (I don't recall hearing that before about any player)

    Unless they trade their 5th & 6th to move to 4th, Butler will be gone and everyone else left is just wr meh....Love our first 2 picks and Singletary will be intriguing. Dawson creek Knox landing was too expensive. 

    You really should watch the video linked in the OP. Just spend a few minutes, and you may feel much better.

     

    What do these B/R draftniks think of the Dawson Knox pick?

     

    Two 4th round picks is too expensive?

     

    What kind of car do you drive?

    So why do you enter such a thread? Just to complain about it? OP liked that a WR was named Quick.

     

    Go visit some other thread, fer chrissake.

    You had a Corvair?  My next door neighbor had one.  You are either older than me, or collect old cars.

     

    Isn’t that the vehicle that inspired Ralph Nader’s anti-GM book, “Death at Any Speed”?

    .

     

    Yes, that was Ralph Nader's favorite death car. It was rear engine, so the front end was light.

     

    Air-cooled engine (no radiator) so it took a L-O-N-G time to warm up on those winter mornings!

    My first car was a 1961 Corvair Monza 900.  White on red, automatic.  That was around 1990-1992.  I still have yet to love a car like that one.  Too young/stupid to appreciate it.

    Mine was a maroon 1964 Monza, with Tiger Paw tires, I might add. They were brown-wall tires after parking in a cow pasture for a few rainy days at Woodstock.

     

    Mine was automatic, too. They had that weird little lever under the dash, not a shifter on the column or floor.

    Only other question I have is whether or not you took the purple acid.

    No. Neither purple nor brown.

     

    That would be the worst kind of environment for doing acid - hanging out with a few hundred thousand people...
