  1. All i know is when that white Ford Bronco was involved in that low-speed chase with every cop in L.A. following him, that was some of the best television i have seen in years.

     

    In fact, i remember that me, my wife and my buddies were crowded around the t.v. just waiting for anything to happen. We drank beer all evening and ordered pizza and when the pizza guy showed up, he knew exactly what we were doing cause everyone in town was ordering pizza and glued to the television.

     

    I was really hoping for a shootout.....

    That could just be the laws of probability at work. If every team just threw darts at their draft board, at least some would have good results.

     

    I've always thought the best draft strategy, at least for teams drafting high, would be to trade down incrementally for as many second-round picks as possible, and do the same from the other direction, trading up into the second round. End up with, say, six or seven second-round picks. The odds of hitting gold seem much higher than just two high picks. 

     

     

     

     

    That's how i have envisioned our FO making their picks in the draft.......either the dart board or the ole spin the wheel-o-chance.

    This being the case will Diggs help or hurt CJ once the ball starts going somewhere else?

     

     

     

     

     

    I'm going to tell you what will happen with Stroud....

     

    CJ will distribute the ball around the field, whether Diggs is involved in the play is irrelevant, however, when Diggs believes he's not getting his share of catches, he'll go after Stroud......which in turn, will start to diminish CJ's confidence in leading the team.

     

    I believe, having a player likes Diggs is a bad pairing for a young QB.

    Diggs will question every play, every QB decision, everything. He is going to make that kids life a nightmare. He will make him 2nd guess everything and when things get bad enough, CJ will just start distributing the ball around to everyone not named Diggs because he won't want to deal with him, which will make the situation even worse.

     

    The dude is a cancer.......better to gut it and get rid of it, but unfortunately, our cancer is now firmly latched onto another young QB to wreak havoc.

  4. You just do whatever you want and just keep kicking that can down the road......my theory, is that the further you kick the can, the further it gets away from you, so just keep kicking it as far and as long as you want.

     

    Pay no attention to the Saints......they don't know how to kick a good can far enough........amateurs.

  5. I'm telling ya, package Knox, Elam and a couple of the Wegmans JA grocery bags and move up in the draft......i'm fairly certain this trade capital can get us up one spot, although the most valuable piece is the Wegmans grocery bags so we might have to throw a couple of more in there to sweeten the deal.

  6. The more i think about it, i think we should just let the board fall to us or even trade back, get a couple extra picks and make a splash in the 2nd and 3rd (if we end up getting a 3rd round pick with trades).

  7. Think of him what you will, but the legal system found him innocent. That's not to say the legal system is not broken, however, he was judged by a jury of his peers and was found not guilty......i, however, think he's guilty as hell, but i was not on the jury panel, i only heard what the media expressed for the trial and did not have to make the decision of innocent or guilty. 

     

    Now, OJ may have been found innocent in the eyes of the law, but he was definitely found guilty in public opinion. 

  8. The Pats were well ahead of their time........wait, hear me out.

     

    The time of a WR that can run past defenders' full steam downfield is done. It's time has come and passed. It's a by-gone era that will probably never ever come back. 

    Defenses have caught on and are forcing teams to play the middle, which is why a good dink and dunk, slant, crossing route WR's are flourishing and why teams have to scheme accordingly. You're seeing more schemes, more alignments, adjustments, etc......trying to create mismatches at the line.

    Also, YAC is becoming huge.......get the ball to your WR's hands in the middle and let them make a play.

     

    The Pats excelled at all this.

    Sure, when they had Moss they threw the occasional deep ball, but if you go back and watch, it's the YAC that kills the D, not really the long bomb.

    They could take "middle of the road" WR's and let them work their magic in the middle and it helped huge that they had a guy like Gronk to create mismatches......same as Kelce and Kittle, etc.

     

    I believe our FO is finally seeing the proper way to build our O.....create mismatches, scheme/gameplan, and let your WR's earn their pay with YAC.

    It used to be a battle of the trenches (which it still is even today), however, it's now been amalgamated into a battle over the middle......whoever controls the trenches AND the middle, controls the game.

     

    I have spoken.
