    Dawkins and, maybe Teller (if he continues to improve) should the only returning starters.

     

    FA should bring in two new starters and a high draft choice (1st, 2nd or 3rd rounder) should ring in another starter.

    I'm not sure I want Dawkins back at LT.  He gets bullrushed way too much.    I think I'd move him around too.   If they keep him at LT fine, but they will need to chip for the better pass rushers.   

     

    I don't think Castillo is gone after the season, so this may be a moot point 

  2. I'm not going to be upset either way.  If we win a few but don't make the playoffs, I still want to in a few, I want to see Teller and Foster and all our rookies get valuable game experience as well as Allen.  

     

    We have 80 mil and 10 draft picks, if we really need to tank this season just to get one top 5 guy, we're farther away anyway and it doesn't matter.   I still think our shopping list doesn't change whether we pick 6th in the draft or we pick 18th.   

     

    Just win, every game you can.

    What amazes me is how formidable their front seven looked against us in the preseason - remember?  I can't fathom how they're giving up so much yardage.

    I know they added some good players too in Billings and Hubbard their Dline should be very good.   Makes no sense to me either.

    ...pretty strange how the same guys seem to get retreaded and recycled......whether GM's or HC's......up and coming coordinators earn a HC shot only to return to coordinator positions......certainly does not seem to be an ounce of confidence in tapping the collegiate ranks....then again, HC's in the collegiate ranks hold THE hammer, don't have to deal with NFL divas and have NO salary cap......figure the upper echelon collegiate HC's are in the $5-9 mil range and are campus deities as long as they keep boosters happy happy...pick your poison.....

    Exactly.  Saban is a God in Alabama, same with Urban in Ohio State but I think that is weakening a bit.  Sweeny in Clemson.  These guys can do no wrong and their kids either get in line of find another school because there are a dozen 5 star recruits waiting to take their place.   It's better right now to be a college coach than an NFL HC.    Unless you're Gruden and you are going to get 100 million dollars to essentially ruin a franchise.

    Don't drive red.  That is the worst color.  Blue is your bet.  Or a color that blends in.

    "It’s Not a Myth: Certain Colors and Makes Get Pulled Over More Often..."

     

    EDIT: White the worst color.  Red second.

    I know.  I didn't buy it for the color, i actually hate red.  But at the time, in central FL, back in 2014 the market was so bad, there were literally no trucks that fit all my criteria in my price range but that one.   I haven't had any issues, i really try to keep the eco button lit up which means i'm getting more than 20 MPG.    That and it's got 99k miles and I need another 100k out of it so i take care of it.

    Depends.  Sometimes you have to put a "pick" on so you are not the one caught speeding. The cop will catch the easiest fish.

     

    Again.  Urban a whole different reality than rural.  I will shift between the two in same commute, outing, whatever.

    I've owned a fire red Ram 1500 for 4 years, i know all about evading LEOs.     They'll hunt you down if they can.

    With the tear down and rebuild route they've chosen, McD and Beane have to nail the upcoming draft and FA and show significant improvement in the 2019 season.  I'm don't think anything below 8-8 would be good enough based on how poorly they handled 2018.  If we're in a similar position a year from now, I'd be surprised if these two see 2020 as coach/GM.

    i was thinking it will be a 7-9 year in 2019 with Allen having a very Carson Wentz type rookie season.  I know he's not a rookie next year but his rookie year has been so mismanaged next year is when he can actually go out and learn stuff.
