    I think Dawkins, Brown, Benford and Allen make it

     

    I think Rousseau should and might make it 


    Based on everything I’ve heard from people speculating on what Rousseau has been and analytics show can be, especially on an improved line, I doubt he makes it this year .. but I think he does next year. 
     

    Im expecting a “breakout” year, in terms of national attention, for Rousseau this year. 
     

    His analytics numbers show he’s much better than he gets credit for.. mainly due to low sack numbers and playing on a meh DL where he asked to do alot of dirty work.

  2. I’ve seen a few sites listing the Bills as a Top 5 DL entering this year.

     

    Thats obviously very dependent upon Sanders, Jackson and Bosa as guys who could potentially join Oliver & Rousseau as high end DL players but the depth, especially once Hoecht & Ogunjobi come off suspension, is Eagles like from last year. 
     

    They added better CB depth and drafted a RD1 Corner… Safety and Linebacker, mostly the same, but entering training camp healthy.

     

    On Offense they were elite on the OL, elite at QB, above average at RB, awaiting Kincaid making a jump to see a similar above average group at TE and then improved at WR.

     

    The article referenced seems strange when the Defense has been overhauled to the point we may see 5 new DL heavy in the rotation, a new CB2 and, for all intention.. a new Safety. 
     

    Aside from going out and getting a player like Garrett or Crosby.. who were never actually available .. the Bills probably did as much as possible to improve the floor and ceiling of a team that made the AFCCG without mortgaging the future to a ridiculous extent. 
     

  3. All homerism aside..

     

    Allen, Dawkins and Brown should be stone cold locks for the Top 100.  
     

    Not sure how accurately this list represents OL (clearly not well at all) so I  don’t know for sure that Dion makes it.  
     

    Brown is pretty close to elite, if not there already, with greats like Lane Johnson hyping him.. but I don’t know he has the name recognition yet to make this list. 
     

    Benford and Cook are guys who I was 50/50 on, but Cook made it and obviously has name recognition.  Benford’s play warrants it but not sure about name recognition. 
     

    Allen should be #1 overall but Lamar might get it due to his regular season prowess on a team typically more stacked than what Allen has had.

  4. Fwiw.. if we could figure out how to not have them impact the census and influx of federal taxpayer dollars.. I’d be completely fine if states like New York and California want to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. 
     

    Maybe we need to see this on a large scale in certain states, without federal intervention.

     

    If it works, I’ll eat my words.  
     

    What I imagine would happen is urban black folks, legal latinos and rural white folks, after their towns become saturated, will turn on their elected leaders and those with the means to, will do what we’ve been seeing… fleeing for red states.

    Best case: good, hard working illegal immigrants who want to better their lives find employment in agriculture, construction and hospitality where they are exploited by greedy corporations paying them well below minimum wage, taking jobs away from good, hard working Americans. 


    And then send the bulk of their expendable income back to their families in a different country. 
     

    So we don’t even get much of an economic benefit, aside from cheap labor which is a double-edged sword.

    Trump has 100% lowered my costs.  I own a business and this bill is huge for business-owners, specifically in terms of tax cuts and deductions.  
     

    Also, I drive a lot and gas prices are down.  His hand in that, not entirely sure, but gas prices are - in fact - down. 

     

    Nope, he’s not lowering the deficit.  Never thought he would.  No President, aside from a Thomas Massie or Rand Paul would do that. 
     

    We know nothing about how this cuts healthcare beyond those who are able-bodied yet refused to work, go to school or volunteer .. all options, at low requirements, to keep your benefits.

    and that's the guy you choose to respect? Lord have mercy. He thinks San Diego is a dump. That's all I needed to read to know this guy is a LOW IQ poster. BAIL

    hospitals will close  and  (OUR) other peoples insurance rates will go sky high to pay for the ER visits of non insured people who cannot be turned away. Make no mistake the middle class will pay. 

     

    He is screwing g over a lot of people but MAGA for his cronies.

     

     


    A lot of concern about hypothetical health insurance rates from those who revere Barack Obama as one of the greats.

    This is definitely not the line of attack to use. 
     

    Both sides try it when out of power and both sides soon realize nobody cares. 
     

    Americans either are incapable and/or don’t want to understand the ramifications of a growing national debt and anytime someone tries to do something about it, we hear sob stories about entitlements being taken away and it becomes short term political suicide.

    Yeah right. 
     

     

    If they were “leeching” off the system, why are so many ICE raids conducted on job sites? Why are so many food stand operators being abducted off the street, or families in line at court being snatched away into vans?

     

    No, it’s blatantly obvious. You can’t stand seeing poor, huddled masses seeking a better life. If you did, you’d be pushing policy to streamline the immigration process. You wouldn’t be killing programs to improve other countries and prevent migrant crises in the first place.  
     

    If it was truly about “criminals,” your kind wouldn’t be holding repulsive “mass deportation” signs. You wouldn’t be selling “alligator Alcatraz” merchandise. You wouldn’t be making AI slop pictures and posting them on government accounts. 
     

    It’s all designed for human suffering. That’s what you want. That’s what MAGA is about. You are dancing with glee watching people sent to torture chambers in El Salvador, or dying in custody in Florida. 
     

    Nuremberg trials won’t be enough to deal with the people responsible for these atrocities when it’s all said and done. The Garcia testimony is just the tip of the iceberg. 


    Mass Deportations are necessary, but nothing id celebrate. 
     

    Alligator Alcatraz cheer meme’ing is gross. 
     

    This still needs to happen. 
     

    You speak about job site raids.. interesting.. do you support remittance taxing?  Because yea, they work hard.. they also send most of their money back home while using our services.

    You’re not beating the accusations that the MAGA ideology is designed around cruelty and human suffering 


    Why is this a good thing? 


    Re: ICE, and why is it a good thing. 
     

    What don’t you understand about the majority of us who voted for Trump, doing so, with the explicit hope that he would pendulum swing on illegal immigration from the last 4 years. 
     

    Do you have any idea how important of an issue the Biden Administration has made this for so many of us who previously, never really focused much on this topic?

     

    It was so over the top, so brazen, such a betrayal to American citizens that we celebrate efforts to take this country back from those who come here to commit crimes and leech off a system we pay into with every paycheck. 
     

    From politicians who welcome them to cook census numbers to protect themselves against their own political failures.  
     

    Its not perfect, we already discussed this, but no large scale effort is.. and this one, for the future of America, and American ideals, is one that’s worth it.

    All of this, besides weather of course, stems from affordable housing. 
     

     

    Housing is security, community, and wealth. 
     

    It is the most important issue facing the world today. 


    I won’t dismiss this entirely, but Safety is the main driver of what I listed. 
     

    Even Atlanta, a blue city, is incredibly pro-police. 
     

    Ever since the BLM riots, this city has poured money into policing, both in Midtown and in Buckhead - who threatened to secede from Atlanta and form its own municipality if pro-police reforms weren’t enacted. 
     

    Brian Kemp and Democrat leaders, together, have worked to make Atlanta a safe area to raise a family.  There are areas that aren’t great.. but that’s kind of how it goes down south.  The R/D leadership alike protect those who want to be protected and in the small number of areas that reject policing .. they make sure it doesn’t spread into areas that welcome it.

    For some. For others it’s climate, tax, political leadership, people, folks in search of a better life.  
     

     


    From my experience, owning a business that deals with a lot of transplants to NC, SC and GA.. this is the case.  
     

    Relatively cheaper housing, as opposed to NY/NJ, is usually a pleasant addition to their move, but it’s primarily due to:

     

    -Politics

    -Safety

    -Better place to start a family 

    -Weather 

    -Culture

    Not in manufacturing, as evidenced by the continued decline in jobs in that sector. 
     

    We should be striving for better jobs than sweaty, miserable, dangerous work in the smelting yards. 


    Who is we?  Because you don’t seem to have any issue with brown people coming over and doing these jobs. 
     

    Should I understand your post correctly as to mean “white people” should strive for better jobs?

     

    I mean, that’s the true position of elitist libs, but just asking for you to clarify.

    Yes, mid-size cities are rising because they’re affordable. 
     

    Dallas and other Texas cities have done an admirable job in increasing housing supply, so much so that rents in Austin have fallen over the past year. 
     

    Even Buffalo experienced a population increase. 


    I spend a good bit of time in Greenville, SC.  When I last had an apartment downtown, it was a 2 bedroom/2 bath at 3kish per month. 
     

    Sure, it’s not Upper East Side rent, but $36k per year requires you to be making good money.. especially when salaries in the south are typically lower, in relation, to Manhattan. 
     

    Affordable is relative.. but there’s this thought amongst northern liberals that souther states are growing so rapidly because we’re paying $1500 per month rent in cities down here.  That’s not happening unless you want a one bedroom in the suburbs.

    If they are working here, yes they should have access to healthcare. There’s absolutely no reason not to. 
     

    This notion of “29 year olds in mom’s basement playing video games all day” is a complete strawman you guys have made up. It doesn’t happen. 


    They’re fleeing it because it’s simply not affordable to live. When the median house in California is over $700,000, then it’s no surprise people are leaving it. 
     

    Nearly every single prominent American metropolis is blue. 


    People aren’t fleeing Atlanta.  It’s expensive in Buckhead and Midtown. 
     

    Blue city in a red state seem to do fine.

     

    People aren’t fleeing Dallas.

     

    People aren’t fleeing Nashville. 
     

    People aren’t fleeing Miami. 
     

    People aren’t fleeing Charlotte and Raleigh.  
     

    Mid-size South Carolina cities like Greenville and Charleston are exploding.   A downtown 2 bedroom apartment in Greenville, SC and Charleston, SC is between $2,800-$3,600 per month.

    What does “destroy our country” mean? I’ve heard this hysteria since the Bush administration. 
     

     


    Why is everyone leaving California?

     

    Why did San Francisco have recalls?

     

    Why are Chicagoans warning New Yorkers about Mamdami?

     

    Why did NYC struggle with being a sanctuary state so much when Southern states started bussing migrants up north?

     

    Do you believe Ilhan Omar style politics are good for this country?

     

    These are all cracks beginning to show, in part, due to migration and lack of assimilation of people who do not hold American values.   Warped higher education, along two generations struggling to hold stake in a capitalist society, being the other. 
     

    Illegal immigration is not the entire issue, but it’s the accelerant.  And you’re seeing the results blue city in blue state by blue city in blue state. 
     

    The evidence is right in front of you as people flee these states for more traditional Americana in Texas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.

    Also, knock it off with this supposed belief in supporting social services for Americans. The MAGAs just voted to strip 5% of American citizens of their healthcare. 
     

    The vast majority of immigrants are hard workers with jobs. Thats evidenced by the fact that ICE has to keep raiding job sites, and that Trump had to back track and pause ICE raids on farms. 


    Do you think illegal immigrants should have taxpayer funded healthcare benefits and we should have no work requirements for able-bodied Americans who leech off the system?

     

    Of course hospitals have an ethical duty to treat anyone, for any reason, regardless of economic or national status, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

    https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/ice-deports-3-u-s-citizen-children-held-incommunicado-prior-to-the-deportation

     

     

    When are you going to realize you’re on the bad guys’ side?


    I don’t defend every single deportation. I wish there were a better way, but this is where we are.

     

    The stories you linked sound incredibly murky and not, at all, along the lines of “ICE is deporting American Citizens”… typically every-time a story like this arises, (as seems to be the case in your link) it’s due to the children going with their illegal parents in the deportation process. 
     

    There are two choices.  Destroy our country by opening it up to criminals and welfare recipients in order to feel morally superior when it comes to a small number of individual cases that we might wish could be handled differently OR acknowledge it’s not perfect but America needs an identity and borders, while having a main priority of protecting and helping its own citizens. 
     

    You clearly prefer the first option.  But there’s nothing morally superior when inner cities have social services, schools and hospitals overrun, while taxpayers field the burden and unnecessary murders, rapes, drunk driving accidents and drug overdoses plague this country so you can feel better about yourself.
