NORWOODS FOOT

Too much? Too much?! No! I got a fever, baby! We need more! More cowbell… er… receivers!

Now if they can just 🐓 🧱 the whole NFL and win a Lombardi…

That’s just it. I realize Bean has his plan, but don’t you think Roman Wilson at 60 is a good bet to be one of our top 4 and done a lot for the team? Beane had other things prioritized higher than a second receiver. Not what I would have done. We shall see…

Re Claypool: yeah, okay, fine, but don’t pass up the chance to add a proven talent at boundary receiver if/when we get a chance.

I was griping about passing on X Worthy because of what he would bring to the offense. If Hamler can be the guy that strains the secondary then this bodes very well for this offense. But he’s just never been able to really do it yet. We shall see. Maybe Hamler will be the NFL Comeback player of the year… 🤞 😂

Literally had me laughing out loud…

You make a convincing argument. Fingers crossed. I’ll be grabbing my popcorn! And even if Coleman wasn’t the BEST pick, I have no doubt he and Josh are going to make some splashy plays. AND YET can you just imagine a downfield playmaker, a Hopkins type, in that Y spot?…. Fire works. Actually I could see them adding someone upper tier next offseason.

He’s an entitled brat that has gotten away with it in life because he won the genetic lottery. And yes, he worked hard at his sport, but millions and millions of people work hard at their jobs. Remember when he tried to break Shannon Sharpe’s elbow? POS

I hope the Bills receivers ball out, but still see our receiving room as very incomplete. 1) We are counting on a rookie to be a number 1. How likely is that? 2) Even if Coleman becomes a number 1 in short order, who is number 2? I like Shakir and Samuel but they both seem like slots to me. 3) The rest of the guys are a grab bag of retreads. I hope one will break out, but I don’t see that as likely. 4) Who is going to be our viable speed threat to stretch and open up the defensive backfields? Yes Josh makes guys better, but not in the way Brady did. Brady just needed guys to run precise routes and catch the ball when he put it in them. Josh has a different style. I want to be wrong so badly, but I don’t see this group putting us over the top. We need Coleman to pop but we still need to add a comparable compliment, one that hopefully is a burner. Yes, Samuel is fast, but he isn’t that guy reeling in bombs left and right, unless that’s about to change. Yes, Kincaid is in the mix but this all still feels lopsided and incomplete to me.

Jumpin Jayzus… so crazy. Was wondering about her yesterday. Gonna read the article now. Paywall… blah… I’m gathering now that Kim had a heart attack and that she must’ve suffered some brain damage going without oxygen so long before being resuscitated. Forgive me if this is already known, I’m just realizing now what the case seems to be. My goodness… heartbreaking

“Shoulda offered $10. Plus thrown in some old used sneakers. Then you would have got it for sure. You really need to reevaluate your shopping philosophy. SMH”- NFL Draft Fans McCord… he had a good high school career but if he hadn’t played with MHJ I highly doubt OSU would have offered him, 1) because he wouldn’t have had as good of stats, and 2) because I think OSU really wanted to land MHJ and taking his buddy helped.

I guess if O’Connell can build an offense that utilizes that action to great effect, he’s got the right guy. The thing that McCarthy also has going for him, which I already mentioned is his mindset. He’s focused on that very extensively which I respect a lot. PS I love your username and Picart! Funny as hell Do you mean about this topic or more generally like about life and stuff? Not that I have a good answer for either, I’m just curious. 😂

Makes me chuckle too. Gotta take laughs where you can get them these days. PS I was born in Youngstown OH. Is that the Ytown in your name?

Oh no! Who hurt you? 😜

I got distracted by Beane’s perfect little haircut that frames his amazing football-shaped brain. I didn’t hear a word. But damn brother, I put the steak on your plate - do I have to cut it and feed it to you too??? 😂

I’m a big Ohio State fan so I had my eye on McCarthy all year. He has good character and athleticism. Do you feel that he has the arm talent to make it in the NFL? Maybe he just didn’t get to throw it enough in that offense, but I just don’t see the evidence of an NFL caliber passer. Especially when compared with some of the other top guys.

Yeah, most surprising to me is McCarthy. I like him. Seems like a good dude with tenacity. But nothing that I saw at Michigan screamed franchise QB to me other than his grit. I have a hard time seeing his ceiling as anything higher than “game manager with occasional flashes”. Maybe O’Connell can scheme up ways to help him over achieve. I have no take on Maye. Never really watched him.

Interesting. Always fun to speculate. And then fun to see how it actually plays out. Let’s watch Maye and McCarthy. They could have lucked into a better selection (assuming they wanted Maye). Who knows. Time will tell.

I caught that. He skipped a beat when asked… and behold, I saw the face of Patrick Mah…. Hahaha We need to win a f***ing SB and beat the Chiefs on the way!

I generally agree. We need Brady to draw up schemes that leverage the unique skills of our players. I still hope McBeane lands a high level deep threat at WR in the next year or so (one defenses truly fear) but I hope Brady maximizes the talent he has at his disposal. I’m confident that Coleman has enough juice to do some real damage if used well. I want to see a smash mouth running game and an A level deep threat added in the future.

i’m with you on this one. In a pre-draft post I talked about both Xavier Worthy and Keon Coleman. I had good things to say about both of them, but when we passed on Worthy, I was pissed. It’s not even so much that I was mad about passing on that player in particular. It’s just the complete lack of a coaching philosophy that builds around the strengths we already have. Look, if Josh Allen and Keon Coleman lead us to a Super Bowl win I’ll crawl down the street in front of the parade wearing a tutu and repent with loud wailing. But you have a QB with possibly the strongest arm the league has ever seen that can move around and buy time. So dear God, load your roster up with wide receivers that can kill it on the second and third level of the defense. We already have a couple of tight ends to take care of the underneath stuff as well as a running back that can catch. I think that’s a better way to what they’re doing. we have a stubborn defensive minded head coach that is fairly good at figuring out how to stop offenses, but I really don’t think that he knows how to build one that can compete with the best offensive of minds in the game.

I’ll add my voice to the chorus: let’s pass. I’m particularly excited to see what our undrafted free agents can do. From what I’ve seen, you could probably plug Keaton Bills in there right now, and he would be serviceable. So I’m excited to see how he develops under professional level coaching.

We don’t have the space this year. It may be possible to add someone of Debo’s stature next year, but I would first: 1) want to see how Coleman develops and know what his full potential is, and 2) go after other pass catchers whose skill sets can beat me maximized in conjunction with the other receivers on the team. Im more inclined to find that talent in the draft, but you never know.
