  1. According to my research, that Jack Jones passed away last year at the age of 86 years old... so I'm unsure whether it's the same guy. I'll defer to the more knowledgable fans on this one.
  2. To add some context, the cornerback victimized on the great majority of those throws was Jack Jones. He's had some on-field and off-field incidents and is generally considered to be a talented head case with questionable character. He's currently listed as 2nd string on the Dolphins depth chart.
  3. In your scenario do you see them on separate horses or the same horse? Side saddle? Just to play devil's advocate, isn't it possible that Bishop returned to practice sooner than he would have had McDermott not expressed his frustration? Hairston was injured on day 6 of training camp. He had as many good moments as he had learning moments. Tre White?
  4. The video was inconclusive though it appeared Stewart was stumbling forward. Per CBS Sports: While it was instigated by Stewart's hit of Burrow, the fight was also an accumulation of Cincinnati's offensive line getting pushed around by Cincinnati's defensive line throughout practice. Stewart's hit of Burrow was the straw that broke the camel's back. "I think we got a little loose from an O-line perspective today," Bengals center Ted Karras said afterwards. "Some things transpired that warranted a response, and Lucas delivered that. I thought we handled it well overall. It wasn't like a shut down the practice type of scuffle. And probably about time we had one of those." Karras was asked about Stewart and if he likes the level of intensity that the team's first-round pick brings to practice. "Hell yeah," Karras said. "Just be smarter. ... Great player. But, come on, man. That's all our hopes and dreams right there. And we got to be better, too. That's on us." Karras is right. While Stewart hitting Burrow is inexcusable, the Bengals' offensive line has got to protect their Pro Bowl quarterback if Cincinnati is going to have success this season." It seems like a pretty minor incident.
  5. There's research which shows that cannabis use is helpful in managing certain types of pain and also aids as a muscle relaxant. It's also considered generally helpful for those suffering PTSD. These effects would be beneficial to NFL players. Beane looks really stoned. Also, O-linemen can be found in the middle and lower rounds of the draft (Edwards entered the league as a 5th rounder) and we all know of Aaron Kromer's ability to identify and develop O-linemen. Thanks for posting that link. Don't know if this helps but per PFT (a credible source of contract terms): 1. Signing bonus: $9 million. 2. 2025 base salary: $1.28 million, fully guaranteed. 3. 2026 option bonus: $7.4 million (see below for guarantee details). 4. 2026 workout bonus: $250,000. 5. 2026 base salary: $2.01 million (see below for guarantee details). 6. 2026 per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total. 7. 2027 workout bonus: $250,000. 8. 2027 base salary: $9.13 million, guaranteed for injury at signing; on the fifth day of the 2026league year, $6.22 million becomes fully guaranteed, with the remaining $2.91 million vesting in on the fifth day of the 2027 league year. 9. 2027 per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total. 10. 2028 workout bonus: $250,000. 11. 2028 base salary: $9.681 million, $1.18 million of which is guaranteed for injury. 12. 2028 per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total. 13. 2029 workout bonus: $250,000. 14. 2029 base salary: $10.41 million. 15. 2029 per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total. For 2026, $5 million is fully guaranteed at signing. Another $4.41 million is guaranteed for injury; it converts to full guarantee in on February 9, 2026. The contract includes a $1 million escalator for 2028, if any year from 2025 through 2027 he participates in 45 percent of the offensive snaps and the team makes the playoffs. The contract also includes a $1 million escalator for 2029, if any two years from 2025 through 2028 he participates in 45 percent of the offensive snaps and the team makes the playoffs in those same two seasons. The new-money average on the four-year extension is $11.5 million per year, with $15.28 million fully guaranteed at signing. By 2026, the full guarantee increases to $25.91 million. The total injury guarantee is $30 million, with $28.82 million fully guranteed by 2027. From signing, the contract has a value of $10.254 million per year over five years; Cook was due to make $5.271 million in 2025. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/inside-the-james-cook-deal
  6. Did you happen to see him in a pet store?
  7. This is true but by itself, it doesn't make him a Top 5 QB. Also Sando's tiers doesn't quite take into account fragility. What are the chances that Stafford is healthy for 17 regular season games?
  8. The irony is that the Hairston pick was probably made to address some of these criticisms... he wasn't by any means a safe pick. On the contrary he was a guy with elite traits and a very high ceiling. We saw flashes of that in the handful of practices he participated in. His speed and quickness are off the charts. Give it a chance.
  9. Good thing they aren't a basketball team... We've been through this before... this Drew Haddad, Part Deux.
  10. You're like my wife... you didn't finish the story.
  11. From the video White Steve looks like a long strider who can get behind defenses but if thrown to underneath, isn't gonna break too many tackles or make people miss. I don't think he's a big ROC guy.
  12. I'm sorry... what was the question again?
  13. Listed as a cornerback depending on where you look. Small but very athletic. Undrafted in 2018... 3 star recruit who played 4 years at Vanderbilt.
  14. Now you got me wondering if anyone's ever put kale in ice cream. We're not too far from Gilroy, CA which is the self-dubbed "Garlic Capitol of the World" and they have garlic ice cream for the Garlic Festival... which was resurrected this year for the first time since the shooting back in... 2020? Anyways, garlic ice cream... haven't tried it yet.
  15. It would be kinda funny if Stafford fell off a stage.
  16. TO had juice even in the final year of his 15 year career. In his last year with the Bengals (after his one season with the Bills) he had 72 receptions for 983 yards (13.7 ypc) and 9 TDs. From a pure physical ability standpoint he could have played longer.
  17. I love cale in a salad and cod in a fish fry but it's hard for me to imagine them in a frozen confection.
  18. And why does he have to golf? One sport should be enough for him... he needs to get his head in the playbook.
  19. Great football player and unfairly treated by the media.
  20. My minor contribution to this topic is that I just can't see Olufoshio making the team. I'm intrigued by both Keonta Jenkins and Jimmy Ciarlo. "Jenkins had his most productive NCAA season as a fifth-year player. He lined up as the “Star” in Virginia Tech’s defense, which is essentially a hybrid role as a nickel corner/safety/outside linebacker. He totaled 65 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, two forced fumbles, and four pass breakups in 12 games." He put up impressive numbers at his pro day with a 40-yard dash in 4.58 seconds, three-cone drill in 7.18 seconds, 34.5” vertical jump and 9’10” broad jump. He bench-pressed 225 pounds a total of nine times." Ciarlo was one of Army's Captains. "Ciarlo signed with the Jets after going undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. He was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, but he displayed solid athleticism at Army’s Pro Day. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.66 seconds, did the three-cone drill in 6.97 seconds, and ran the 20-yard shuttle in 4.35 seconds. He benched 225 pounds a total of 34 times, leapt 10’ in the broad jump, and jumped 36” in the vertical leap test." Both of these guys had productive seasons in college and have above average measurables. They both seem to have some intangibles too.
  21. Digging pretty deeply now... other prominent and excellent NFL Films voices were Hall of Fame announcer Harry Kalas who was the voice of the Phillies for over 30 years, and a person longtime Buffalo sports fans might recall, Jefferson Kaye, who worked at WKBW and WBEN radio.
  22. He's probably the exception, not the rule.
  23. You are far from alone on this. A huge percentage of baby boomers were indoctrinated into NFL fandom via NFL Films. The glare of their productions were a huge reason that the NFL became America's Passion, eclipsing America's Pastime.
