I'm a little worried that in years to come, Dalton Kincaid is going to go into that weird Aaron Rodgers metaphysical, self-awareness phase. When Dawkins pointed to the hawk flying overhead saying, "look at that bird", and Kincaid responds saying, "yeah, I wish that were me!", I was thinking WTF. Is he the flying version of Mr. Limpet? 

 

It was crazy to me that he knew what a perigrine falcon was, and how fast it dives, but was like "I think they're only in Africa".

 

Some of these guys are just so incredibly dumb.

 

My hot take at the end of last season was that I think Knox is still the better TE, but Kincaid's athleticism, age, and draft status keep him as TE1. Nothing in camp/preseason seems to have changed that.

We'll see how the team responds after the Chicago fiasco. 

 

For what it's worth, we lost last preseason to the Bears 33-6 in a VERY similar game, and responded by going 13-4 and to the AFC Championship.

 

I'm not worried.

If you take McD at his word, after Ciarlo made the good tackle against the Giants, then you have to think Shavers makes the team over someone like Moore.

Tre White ringing out his socks was a thing. Wanted to laugh and barf.

From what I've heard, Shavers has been struggling to find a special teams role as well. But at least he's trying 🤷‍♂️

Right when they started showing the footage of that game, my 4 year old says "Dad, maybe they'll win this time". I wish it worked that way lol.

I don’t know what a slobber knocker is exactly but it sounds like something that they should not be doing with each other. 

They said no *****!

That's a good one but seriously is McDermott just not connecting with the young guys like he used to?

 

These guys make that NIL money now and maybe don't react the same as they did 5 years ago 

How many of our 2025 draft picks got NIL money in college?
 

Is it just for stars or is it more widespread than that?

I thought McDermott’s messages last night were poignant and delivered well. He’ll never be the most exciting public speaker but it seemed to me that he had everyone’s attention. 
 

I also laugh (once again) at those who think they “know” McD is boring or passionless. There’s no doubt he is encouraging his team to be aggressive and in attack mode all game long.

I'll stand by assessment that McDermott is a poor speaker but that doesn't make him a poor coach. And though I've always felt that fire and brimstone speeches are overrated, in a big game with evenly matched teams the players will just have to find motivation from elsewhere, IMO. He's not gonna light a fire under anyone's ass... at least not mine but hopefully he's a good enough coach to get them to the Super Bowl.

Yes, the Peregrine Falcon's range is every continent except Antarctica. One of the most noteworthy aspects of the species, aside from it's speed when stooping, is that like the Coyote, it has become a very successful urban dweller, often living on skyscrapers and feeding on pigeons... like the one that lived on Buffalo City Hall for years.

 

I'm pretty sure that was a turkey vulture that they were showing.

Right, it's crazy to me that he knew stuff about perigrine falcons accept that they live in all the places that he has ever lived.

 

He talks about them like they're some exotic jungle species.

Does this perigine falcon have skinny legs?

That's what I can do with my shirt after yard work in the summer months living in Louisiana, but socks? That is crazy. My feet do not sweat like that.

There was a Peregrine Falcon nesting  on a SkyScraper in Downtown Hartford.  It was taking out pigeons, and freaking out walkers lol

All of them were able to make money in some capacity while playing but I don’t think any were getting significant money from NIL collectives or boosters to sign based on their position/school/timeline

He's listed at what, 6'2 and 225 lbs.?

 

Toward the low end of weight for a modern linebacker but still quite a large human being

That's insane he looks so small. I am the same size as him. Wow.

 

I don't believe he is that big.
