I'd like to sit down with McDermott and ask him how difficult it was to send Kelvin Benjamin onto the field every week. Wow, I forgot how bad he was.

I really don't want to see Fromm play next year. We need to play the best guy and that means the guy who has the best chance to win a game. We're not a developmental team anymore, we don't need to see what we have. If Fromm earns the backup spot that's one thing, but the odds are stacked against him even more this particular year. Now if Barkley has to play and he doesn't look like he can get you to the playoffs, that's a different story. That's kind of what Pittsburgh went through last year, Rudolph started but couldn't keep it going.

I just can't stop thinking it's Ginger Ferrell

I didn't see the one where he tore Rod Woodson's acl.... Found it, around :52 is the slow mo oh **** moment:

Sorry Joe, I'm out. Have fun arguing with whoever else wants to.

It's not how the Pats* did it and it's not how the Steelers are doing it. Seems like you just like to take a position and practice arguing. I used to own a bar and I had a regular just like to argue about how good the other team was and get everyone riled up. I asked him one time why he did it and he said he just loved getting the rise out of folks. Your name Joe?

Or "get hurt" and end up not playing at all. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I don't see how as a coach that you can't tailor your offensive plan to take advantage of one of the most talented guys in the league, and that in and of itself is going to be a problem for LaFleur. Even if you're a run heavy team, why wouldn't you go get a burner, his effectiveness as a deep threat is multiplied because you know AR can get the ball out to him. Really seems egotistical on LaFleur's part to me. As far as Rodgers forcing McCarthy out, Mike himself admitted that he didn't continue to innovate and his offense got stale so that really isn't a valid criticism, probably more like AR feeling like McCarthy was not going to help him get to the Super Bowl. I have to think AR was trying to get changes to the offense and there was nothing happening for him so he forced the issue. Really it comes down to winning, which they pretty well did last year. But there is tape out there now and the "new coach bump" may not sustain them into this year. Taking a future QB might be good for the team overall but you actually fall behind the other teams in your division because they're picking guys that are probably playing this year. And yes, given the razor thin difference in talent among the top teams, one player can matter, especially a first rounder.

It doesn't seem like Kraft swims in the over 30 side of the booty pool.

Beane mentioned in his post draft zoom he was leaving a couple roster spots open for free agents with the post draft wave of cuts

I'm going with Belicheat = Simon and Brady = Garfunkel

Well, A) I'm glad saccharin shouldn't cause cancer and B) You don't drink the Kool-aid, you drink the Funny Face. It has a ring to it, that's for sure.

No, but I'm not a tomato

I don't know what that crap is, but "Pre-sweetened without sugar" is not Koolaid! The Koolaid packet says "fill the pitcher up with sugar and then put the flavoring and water in". Looks more like a farting tomato than a cherry anyway. Come ON!!!!

Those aren't Doug Whaley sleepy eyes, are they?

To be fair, that underwear has caught a lot of balls

Pffft, how would you know.?

I see the prospects that have been fully vetted as a minority situation and really from the standpoint of going to get a guy you need two to tango so it cuts both ways. Overall I think gm's (and front office people in general) are comforted by the same process and if that process is interrupted there will be some trepidation to do business as normal. Will be fun to watch though, no doubt

It will be interesting to see how the lack of pro days and visits contributes to the trades this year. I guess there is less consensus and less confidence in the evaluations so there will be less trading. Seems like it will take more courage to go up and more courage to drop down this year.

I would be surprised if he gets any guaranteed money. Seems like there is enough need for wr's for someone to kick the ole tires though

When I saw the headline, I'm like "it's not April fools, what the..."

We get the 15 minute test going and it's required that you pass it before you go into the stadium. No tailgating in the fall, but it becomes like having the tsa checking your luggage before a flight - show up earlier, take your test and get in. Wear masks, face shields, gloves if you want. Hopefully there will be some type of solution to lessen the virus' effects at a minimum. People making the call now about what's going to happen in the fall is a little silly. We should really be observing the countries on the corona curve ahead of us and do it better than the best of them.

I'm thinking if we're going to trade up in the first two days it's going to be a few spots in the third. There might be a guy they covet that has made it through (maybe a cb) longer than they expected. In the past, it seems need for starters has driven the trade ups, looking for guys that can help us now without dipping into the next tier down. Like when they went up for Knox, "there was a significant dropoff after him". Seemed to be the same story with Ford, Edmunds and really Allen. Since we are a more solid team, I don't know if the desire to get a starter thinking will drive Beane this year. Seems like we can afford to let the draft come to us a little more this year.

I think it's mainly muscle memory. For example, try playing golf and softball during the same season. Assuming you swing with the same hand, there are enough differences to where one effects the other. Like you hit a lot of pop flies playing softball. ?

I forgot he was switching to punter - so that provides some competition for Bojo. With the lack of OTA's I wonder if they will have enough confidence to not bother taking a punter. Well, at the time Min thought they were getting a starting kicker/punter, he had done well in the preseason. Does seem a little lop-sided, but I don't know all the financial details and the conversation the Jags were having with Campbell like how badly he wanted out and if the Jags did him a favor by sending him to a contender.

I thought we signed that kicker who was in Car and Minnesota traded for him in 2019 as competition? No need for more at this point unless that guy really screws the pooch. I agree that Bojo's 2019 performance needs to be upgraded. Probably one of the things on Beane's list when he says ST needs to get better. I'm guessing he's going to try and draft a guy for that since little has been done.
