I'm a fan of Obi.I'd love him in the second rd! Between him and Hyde,they could switch safety spots I think,and cause chaos. My dream draft would be trade down to about 18-20, grab an extra third and go Zach Cunningham in the first Obi in the second Chris Godwin and Jourdan Lewis third

Reggie Ragland

I've been telling people...Wlb is the most important player in a McD defense. I'm not sure if that translates to a Frazier D,but all signs point Wlb,Cb,S in the draft. Toss in Wr,and a little depth,and that's a wrap

Missed it by the length of a turd...story of my life lmao. Thanks again tho,Shotgunner. Great job with this!

idk...perhaps they kept the same depth chart instead of updating it? But anyway,the article is there

as for the message to the kids,parents drink alcohol and take prescription narcotics, drink caffeine,smoke cigarettes,etc. All of which are way worse on a human body than pot is. Its exactly the societal implications that you speak of that keeps it illegal,frowned upon,and as some poster stated...ghetto dwelling. Until it is seen for its value,and used appropriately, moderately,it will continue to be looked at in a society point of view as a bad thing. Again,I think nobody should go to work drunk,or high. But prescription drugs are fine,accepted,the norm in society 's eye....?

no. You should not be under the influence of any mind altering substances while performing your job duties. I'm simply saying,it needs to be addressed somehow. Just like alcohol,you don't go to work drunk. Same as should be with pot,imo

yeah,they really need to revise their stance on that imo. I mean hell,how many states is it legal for recreational use now? Let alone medical. So,federally it's illegal. Statewide,its legal. Yet you live in a state where it's legal and an employer has the right to supersede state law. Again,you're right,its the employer's perogitive. I just question the logic. In several states,if you fill out a job application,it states that drug screening will not be performed for pre-employment,nor held against any applicant,as it's legal in said state. So the argument about the company perogitive seems very gray. Why can any other job in said state not require the testing,while the nfl refuses to abide by state law? They need to fix that mess somehow....

I don't know what to tell ya,I'm just the messanger.But,id assume it was a coaching decision? Also,where did you see/hear that Cassel was automatically advanced to #2 upon his return? As you said yourself,there was no football in between,so how does a QB come back from being cut after three days,and out play anyone to automatically deserve a promotion? ?

again,its just an opinion. And like everybody,people will defend their opinions. That doesn't mean it's a cry for help.By any means. People have been self medicating since the dawn of time. For each,their own

we all have different opinions.on every subject. That's a human trait. Personally, I support its legality for multiple reasons. But again,the rules dictate you take a drug screen pre-employment,and often throughout. So I agree,if you want a job,and wanna keep it,you should tow the company line. Henderson's health is a whole separate issue,as it's medical and not recreational. Just my opinion

I wondered lol! My apologies sir

as should be. Cheap enough,familiarity with team,and at least won't be a "downgrade" as he was our starter. That said, welcome to open competition!

only chit heads and ghetto dwellers smoke pot? What's that make pres Clinton then? That's quite a derogatory statement! Ghetto dwellers....smdh

Truth! Lol

cassel did not beat him out. He was acquired to be the starter.EJ was supposed to ride the pine,but was forced into playing before he was ready. Week 17 was his last game day audition,to see if he had progressed enough to warrant a back-up role on a new contract. He failed. That's that. Good Luck to him tho.Always a class act

wasn't EJ forced into action due to injury? Also,I'm not sure our roster was undermined by keeping him,hoping he developed,as he was on his rookie contract

I thought the same thing! Team friendly deal,maybe.but if we draft one,he don't make the cut. Jmo

according to him,he's moved away from LA to keep away from his pot head buddies,and hasn't smoked pot in 8 months.On a side note,pot is non-addictive. There is no drug they give you to ween yourself,ala heroin,etc. It doesn't make you Ill to go without.We all know it's an illegal substance in the eyes of the nfl,but times they are a changing

I think we're overdue for a fair shake from the injury Gods lol

Yes he did,and he averaged more than 10 games a year too...I'd have to assume Shady can continue without any durability issues.He's proven it in his career. Now,being pulled in the fourth,for whatever reason is not an indictment on his health,rather a coaches decision based on situation. I'm not worried about his health.Or his availability /durability to exceed ten games a season.just my opinion of course

I like him alot. Good speed,good hands,good size. However,the year long suspension has to have some people in a tizzy. Regardless,with the Steelers losing Marcus Wheaton probably dictates his need at position for Pitt,so I can't see them trading him.

yeah,they get pretty "punch drunk" after a while. It's a brutal position to play,no doubt. Somehow tho,the great ones manage to persevere by avoiding big hits. Some great backs have played into their 30's while being heavily involved in their respected offenses. I think Shady is on that level

oh,its common practice to pull your Lb's and DBs early in the fourth when we either are way up,or way down on the scoreboard? Id disagree with that. Thats normally reserved for skill players,like QB,RB,Etc.But anyway,whats the point youre trying to make? The discussion arose concerning RB....and particularly Shady's durability past 10 games
