Old Coot

Cook is running behind one of the better OLs in the league. Wouldn't that positively affect his output? I'm not saying that Cook isn't a telented back; he is. But whether he's elite or whether another RB could do the same as Cook is surely affected by the quality of the OL.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

This is a casting call for extras. I was made for this role. I'm really good at blending into the background.

I'll add another possible reason for downplaying the deep ball and that's the defenses teams run now. Most run some version of the Cover 2 shell which is designed to take away long completions. Now that doesn't mean you don't need some speed burners at WR. As many have pointed out in this thread the ability to threaten deep routes with speed opens up the underneath routes.

This. Most of the post-Rd 3 picks for good teams (who draft at the end of rounds) look like depth role or PS players. Some will be; others will seize their opportunity and become good starters. So let's wait and see.

His bench press was very low for a man his size. Luckily in McD's defensive system, he won't be called on to bench press O lineman very often. Seriously, though, the poor showing on the bench press may indicate a slack work ethic.

Wow; that's not good for a DT

Any excuse to get fams to shell out $$ for more NFL gear. Remember not to take it out of the box. If you do it's not collectible any more. On a side note: who will manufacture all this gear?

We are old that was a quarter-century ago.

1999 Draft. Saints have the no. 12 pick. Their coach trades ALL of the Saints '99 picks and two of their first three picks in the 2000 draft for Texas running back Ricky Williams. Ditka is fired after the Saints struggle. Ricky plays three years for the Saints and then is traded. Read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Williams_trade

Also, master of the jersey tug.

Three thumbs up for Josh.

And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew.

This is why we can't have nice things.
