  1. He basically said that they weren't trying to make it easy on the QBs. They want it to be hard in practice. They're looking for "good" days, not "great" days. It's always the conundrum of camp. If one unit/player is looking really good, is it because that unit is really good or is it because the opposing unit/player sucks?
  2. I think Little has to have a tremendous camp to have any shot at the roster. The only way he ends up ahead of Erving is if he gets injured. Erving is just better. If Little doesn't have a tremendous camp, we'd probably be rather go dumpster diving through other teams' cuts than have Little remain on the roster. His draft status with a prior regime has carried him as far as it's going to get him.
  3. Normally I would agree, but given our nearly complete lack of long-term solutions along the OL right now, I can understand this one. We can absolutely end up using him wherever he's best fit. If that's OT, great. If that's OG, well that's fine too.
  4. Then why are you here? What else is there to talk about right now? Your bullshit of criticizing others for wanting to discuss the team and football in general is getting old.
  5. I don't think it has to do with anything regarding philosophy on QB athleticism. I think it has everything to do with not being able to impact that aspect of a player as a coach. You can't coach physical traits. All you can do is prepare a guy to play the best he can with what he has to work with. Darnold isn't a a statue but he isn't a big run threat. He has a big arm but he has a pretty big wind-up as well. If he has sufficient grasp of the offense, might as well throw the kitchen sink at him and try to figure out if he's gonna sink or swim before the live bullets start to fly. See if you can open up the playbook or if you're going to be forced to dial it back.
  6. There's just not enough mortgages in trouble. The forebearances worked.
  7. Could go the other way. Extended rock bottom rates might convince people that prices aren't coming down anytime soon.
  8. I don't thinks so. It's still largely due to lack of inventory.
  9. Yep, me too. I loved Thomas going into the draft and thought he had a chance to develop into the best TE in that draft. After a promising rookie season, I just knew we had our future at TE in the fold. Fast forward a few years and I'm just ready to move on.
  10. "We want you to play LT while we pay you like a RT." Hey, I hope it works out. That'd be sweet.
  11. Just speculation here, but I think this staff believes Moton is a LT but Moton has been playing RT so long that he's very comfortable there and is hesitant to make the switch. They're trying to convince him to give it a legit go and what better time to do that than now while Erving is out anyway?
  12. Darnold's throwing motion concerns me. Yeah, he has a big arm but he has a big wind up too. It's not a quick, compact throwing motion. It's not Byron Leftwich whoop de doo level wind up, but it's a labored throwing motion. Defenders that keep their eyes on the QB are gonna be jumping routes on his deliveries.
  13. They won't be able to raise them too aggressively without causing another housing crash. Most people think the market is somewhere between overvalued and wildly overvalued currently. Aggressively raising the rates would throw absolute ice water on the market.
  14. I think that injury ruined him. He looked like a shadow of his former self last year physically. I was mildly surprised the Dolphins didn't use #3 to move on from him but with the trade haul they got, that option will still very much be on the table moving forward. If he doesn't look a lot better this year, they gonna have to swallow that bitter pill.
  15. At some point, these threads about Cam have to get bounced from the main forum. Honestly, I think we're well past that time.
  16. I hope Robby has a great year and cashes in big in FA.
  17. There's a lot to unpack there. Start with the mirror.
  18. This is the way it should be, not the Rivera method of forcing square pegs into round holes because of "muh system".
  19. Yeah, I'm definitely not opposed to bringing him in for a tryout. I'd prefer Hooker, but I'll take what I can get.
  20. Shi Smith and Keith Taylor. Both late round draft picks. Both probably looking at being no higher than 4th on the depth chart within their position group. But both with considerable NFL upside IMO and both with the tools to be immediate impact players on ST too to secure their roster spots this year.
  21. Yeah, not making the team for the Cowboys on defense last year is a big red flag.
  22. With Chinn, I think you can look at a guy like Sean Taylor. Is he a FS? Yes. Is he a SS? Yes. Is he a LB? Yes. All that versatility is a great thing. I expect him to primarily align at the safety position, but the beautiful thing about a chess piece like Chinn is that tells the opposing offense virtually nothing. He can drop back and cover the deep third. He can pick up a TE or slot WR in man coverage. He can drop down into the box to essentially serve as a LB. He can blitz. He's a guy the opposing QB has to account for on every snap.
