  1. Doesn't matter. There's already plenty of carriers right here.
  2. I also have a good friend who used to work for the CDC and is currently a medical professor at Johns Hopkins. She says that based on what's happening elsewhere, this is already widespread in the states and we just haven't realized it yet, largely due to poor access to tests.
  3. My father in law is a pediatrician. He saw a child today presenting with fever and flu symptoms. Mom (herself a doctor, this will blow your mind momentarily) was sick too. He asked her if they'd traveled anywhere recently. They just got back from Italy recently. Wait... what? The kid had been in school all day. Mom had been seeing patients the last two days having just gotten back from Italy presenting with these symptoms. The child's flu test came back negative. Waiting for the coronavirus results. FIL is self quarantining pending those test results.
  4. There absolutely needs to be severe international pressure on China after this to shut down these wet markets that give novel coronaviruses the ideal environment to cross the species barrier. It seems like every one of these novel coronaviruses ends up getting traced back to Chinese wet markets.
  5. Very sorry to hear it. :( Congrats on the new pup!
  6. Maybe throw the ball to the 2nd TE on occasion instead of using him as a shitty undersized OT? Maybe throw the ball to Stew on occasion instead of having him stand beside Cam and holler "Dodge!" as the pass rush closes in? Maybe run a few quick slants instead of long, slow developing downfield routes. There was lots of things we could've tried, but we just kept doing the exact same things. If it's broke as fug, don't dare try to fix it, right? Wait, that's not how that saying goes at all...
  7. If Matt sucks we're gonna be down at center too because Ryan will be suspending for beating his ass.
  8. Repeat last year's strategy? No thanks. That nearly got Cam killed.
  9. We saw all those stacked boxes because teams knew how Shula countered pressure. We were maddeningly predictable. Teams simply started sending extra blitzers to nullify our extra blockers. You don't have "extra" blockers when teams blue dog blitz you. Wade Phillips showed everyone the way.
  10. Spread it out and focus on getting the ball out quick. Of course, Shula has shown that he's woeful at adjusting to OL weakness. His solution is to keep in eligible receivers to help block and rely on 2-3 guys to try to get open them act surprised when mediocre blockers can't slow down elite pass rushers.
  11. Hope to see Short retained, but if it means a Suh contract we just can't do that. I'd rather see him elsewhere than see us give a DT that type of hamstringing money. My concern is that if we don't get him locked up this offseason and he has another double digit sack season, someone will be willing to give him Suh money. Then again, Gettleman values DT >>>>> CB and might be willing to keep Short with the tag. Meh, all things considered, way too early to worry about that stuff yet, but it's May and ain't a damn thing else to talk about.
  12. He measured 6'4" at the combine. He's 6'4". Here he is with Goodell at the draft: For reference:
  13. Well, knowing what we know now, this thread is fuging hilarious.
  14. I really hope we're looking at Eric Murray but I've seen no indication that we are. I love the guy.
  15. I'm honestly not sure how high on Corey Coleman. Gettleman seems to be all about route running when it comes to WRs and Baylor's offense features very few routes. That's not to say he can't run them, it's just that he hasn't been able to really demonstrate it.
  16. Dorsett is a guy who can run really fast. Shepard is a real WR.
  17. Shepard has far more college production. He had almost 1300 receiving yards last season. Dorsett never had a 900 yard season at Miami.
  18. Three drafts. Two 6th rounders and a 5th rounder. Might be time to make a real investment instead of taking a late round flier.
  19. Every school has guys who don't work out. It only scares me when it's repeatedly guys at the same position playing in the same system. That's when it becomes a major question mark. But, then again, that happened with Cal QBs then you get Aaron Rodgers.
  20. I think Hunter Henry's draft prospects are being inflated quite a bit - possibly a lot - due to the fact that this is an overall terrible TE class. I don't see anything impressive. Neither did Olsen when he was at the combine analyzing the TE prospects in this class. If he's really the next Jason Witten, then by all means I hope we're the team that drafts him, but in reality I don't even think he's close to that. I'll always be leery of Bama RBs. They all look like beasts in college running behind dominant OLs, but if the staff and front office think he's Stew's succussor then I'm all for it. We are a run heavy team and our workhorse back is in the last year of his contract and coming up on that dreaded age of 30. A future workhorse is definitely a significant need.
  21. There is no "home team" in the Super Bowl. Sadly, the Super Bowl has become such a huge event that the vast majority of tickets are bought up by corporate interests and the wealthy. There aren't many actual fans at the Super Bowl. They're there for the event, not so much the two teams on the field. I will say that living out here in CO, shortly after the teams were decided, most Broncos fans didn't think they had a chance. They were just hoping to avoid another Super Bowl embarrassment. That tide has turned. They're hyped now. They're gonna be crushed.
