I normally root for the Leafs to fail, but I think I'd rather play them if the Canes can get past the Capitals.

Yeah, the other quote was a little odd but at the end of the day he's a football player not a public speaker. He's a veteran player who is one of the best on the league at his position and there's been no coaching or defensive scheme change so yeah, it's understandable why his goal is simply about being out there on opening day. For a guy like him OTAs and training camp aren't the goal. It's about the games that count.

Like I said the wording of persons piece was odd. This is good news

He apparently put on weight to play at A&M and lost a step because he was asked to play differently. He's trimmed down and allegedly gained that step back. He had significant production "lighter" and "heavier" but he fits our defense better in the "lighter" version. I think it is a solid pick and time will tell.

Maybe this is nothing? These are pretty recent.

cinematic is a good way to describe their sound. very loose musical comparison, but as far as the ability to fill the aural spaces of the atmosphere i would compare them to tame impala, radiohead and pink floyd.

I like this kid a lot.

My dad's a Raiders fan who has been hearing me bitch about Ian Thomas for years. When I told him the Raiders signed him he stopped for a minute, then realized I wasn't joking and said "now why the hell would they go and do that?"

Ok. That's fair. He doesn't have to be elite to win a super bowl though. Just clutch. See Jalen Hurts. I know they gave up a lot for a non-elite QB, but that's a sunk cost. Can't keep getting distracted by that. Hopefully, he continues to improve on the things he can do.

it's them being cautious. totally understandable.

that could just be his way of saying "y'all just don't need to be worrying about that" until there's something to panic over, i'm chill. and there's nothing to panic over at the moment. there's no need to rush it back and/or think that he's not doing everything that is needed to get him back and ready day 1.

Well we have a cautionary tale still on the roster in Brooks, so extra precaution seems a foregone conclusion. Duh.

Hopefully this is just the coaching staff being cautious and keeping him out of camp. Doesnt sound great though.

zod made an appearance and did some work. he was the only one who was able to stop it. the hope is that we will have a couple mods with admin powers sometime this summer. we'll see, but no one is happier to see the spammers stopped than us mods. it shut down new registration across the board, but that's ok.

JJ McCarthy had a 2nd surgery in November and he's expected to be a full participant in offseason stuff.

Honestly it's a little odd that there seems to be any doubt that he'd be ready for the start of the season. Reasonable expectations based on normal recovery timeframe from that injury would've had him expected to be a full participant in OTAs.

Every injury is different but Karl Anthony Towns came back in a month and a half in 2024 from a partial tear and surgery. https://www.nba.com/news/karl-anthony-towns-return-timberwolves-april-12

I get being concerned. He is the biggest (pun intended) piece of our defense. We are in trouble if there are any hiccups in his recovery.

I think we will see a rotation of all 3 TEs, each with his own particular set of skills.

Really excited for him to build on last season. He looked like he could help some in the passing game, but I'd like to see his blocking level up. There was a few times last season where he looked like he was thinking while executing the play. Can't wait to see him playing faster after a year in the system.

I got lucky and my surgery was totally elective as it wasnt that bad yet. But if I had waited it probably would have been like yours with a 3 month recovery. Knee surgery fuging blows and its still not 100% as if I twist it a certain way it def feels like bone on bone or something

Had mine scoped ~15yrs ago and my recovery took ~90 days. There was a lot of loose cartilage floating around in mine though when they went in and they had to do more cutting/shaving than anticipated. DB is also double the weight I was then as well. Big guys usually take a little longer to recover from those lower body injuries due to there being more mass for them to have to support.

It's more about where the bar starts around here which is amazingly low after years of subpar play from thst unit.

My birthday wish is that the huddle changes Ians name like they did with The Golden Calf of Bristol. I do not care to see his fuging name ever again.

Jalen Hurts went 14 of 21 for 108yds in that same game too... If we're gonna cherry-pick stats, of course.
