  1. As good as McFadden was he should have been the next Adrian Peterson. He either had a ten cent brain or really didnt care about football that much. Still had a long career but he should have been a world beater with all the talent he had. I get the same sense with Fournette, he stopped being Leonard Fournette the day he became a millionaire.
  2. I mean..those are some small ankles.
  3. How many 6'6 guys weigh 190 pounds?
  4. Practice squad at best. Not sure why he was a favorite to take over for DiMarco this year. Kyle Juszczyk is a free agent next year, go get him or Alex Armah from the Panthers. Armah is essentially the same player as DiMarco but five years younger.
  5. Incredibly overrated player with a terrible attitude, should have been cut before this. Any running back in the NFL should be able to get four yards a carry, and the receptions last year were 100% a result of having a young quarterback. Fournette is Darren McFadden with a worse attitude.
  6. One of the first college coaches that stuck in my memory. The story of him just missing the flight that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11 is wild. RIP Big Guy
  7. I mean for all intent and purpose it has. Jerry's career has pretty much been ruined since Sheriff Opie hit the scene.
  8. No playoffs 17 years. Playoffs 2 out of 3 years. He can do whatever he feels is necessary to win. Ill glady give up someone telling me how great Martin Nance looks to have the team win and be in the playoffs every year. Its not his job to entertain bored fans in August. Its his job to win real football games.
  9. It will be 331 if he carries the democratic led states he did in 2016.
  10. If you're going to be a jersey snob, consider the fact that to wear a jersey you're already wearing another man's name on your back.
  11. This type of mentality always existed, the difference is how fast the information gets out.
  12. Hopefully they are paying the guy during suspension, but actions have consequences. Its just like any job you want to stay employed you have to follow the rules. For those saying any of this is unprofessional, or shows discord in the building needs to understand this is exactly like all major corporations are run. The reverse of this is the situation the Redskins find themselves in, or Russ Brandon running around Buffalo unchecked for years.
  13. Says the guy who literally didnt play football for an entire year..so very glad the Jets signed this 28 year old running back.
  14. Got rid of both the ticket and DTV when I moved into a new house last August. I found that their customer service and ability to work with you on prices had completely reversed course. I felt like I was talking to Spectrum and not DTV.
  15. He is an Argo. Was coaching at OU before that.
  16. Thats the biggest thing that impressed me about him. His ability to pull and get around the end is incredible.
  17. I dont disagree there, but it also wouldn't hurt to bring him into camp to compete. Linebacker depth is a big need on the team.
  18. Do we really consider Dodson, Joseph, and Thompson as guys who shouldn't be replaced if a better option is available?
  19. Agree to disagree on this one. Just a different perspective, but I think we agree he has all the talent in the world to turn into a great olineman.
  20. The Dawkins guard people were and are out of their minds, Dawkins is a tackle, is built like a tackle, and his film says tackle. If you go back and watch Ford at OU I just thought it screamed guard because of what a bruiser he is, plus he tends to play with a lower center of gravity in spite of the fact that he is around the same height as Dawkins. I do agree tackles are coming out more raw and need to be developed, I just dont think that was the case with Ford. His body type, arm length, and style of play doesnt look like a long term fit at tackle regardless of coaching. He doesn't have incredibly quick feet which causes him to lunge, which makes his shorter arms more of an issue. I think its a very good move, and he may end up a pro bowler because of it.
  21. Thats the way I took it as well. One of the things I agree with a lot of posters on here about is that Ford is a guard.
  22. You may have the best screenname Ive seen here. Huss.
  23. Why does signing Ansah automatically mean Murphy is gone? They currently have guys like Mike Love, Darryl Johnson, and Bryan Cox Jr. on their roster and everyone's automatic go to is to cut Murphy. The more likely scenario is they sign Ansah and release one of those three guys, who while may not make as much money as Murphy also cant hold his jock when it comes to playing football. At this point I am not sure Ansah can either.
  24. He just had a pro bowl season as a kick returner. I think its easy money he will make the team.
  25. Better hope you're right.
