Insane. We did swims for our last Rottie in his later years. It was great exercise. But we'd buy a 10 swim punch card for like $125.

I'm significantly more concerned with our secondary given our injury issues than I am our pass rush. I'm also concerned about our lack of proven production at receiver. Hell, I might be more concerned with our run D than our pass rush.

Biggest thing I took from this video that featured guys in shorts playing against air... TMJ looks good. Really good. I'd love to see him breakout this year.

I think the other kittens likely perished. I've seen the mother several times over recent weeks but no signs of the kittens. We have a LOT of coyotes around. We have a LOT of hawks around. We have a LOT of owls around. It's a pretty rough go of it around here as a small kitten. I think my little bugger won the lottery getting abandoned as a newborn.

Yep, Wilcher to St. John's. Blatant tampering. Whatever. Best of luck. Moving on. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/simeon-wilcher-commits-to-st-johns-ex-unc-signee-is-rick-pitinos-highest-ranked-recruit-in-2023-class/

I've heard this about the Saints for Loomis' entire tenure. Still waiting for it to catch up with them. It's all black magic accounting tricks. A hard cap is a great thing for competitiveness but there are plenty of loopholes for manipulation.

The Bills have a young MVP caliber QB. They're window isn't closing for a long time unless he gets Cam'd which given his playing style and previous shoulder issues isn't out of the question.

I'll repeat. Just because some of the wrong guys have been drafted doesn't mean the position isn't worth drafting. If you're gonna shy away from not drafting a position high due to busts I have bad news for you regardless of the position you're looking at.

Just because some of the wrong guys were picked doesn't mean the position isn't worth picking there. Projecting prospects is always going to largely be a crap shoot. But yeah, every GM in the league would be thrilled to draft a Greg Olsen at the bottom of the 1st. Absolutely.

Honestly, I'd strongly disagree. I'd spend a 1st round pick on a Travis Kelce, or a Gronk, or a Tony Gonzalez, or a Greg Olsen type player all day everyday. No hesitation. They may have played TE but they largely functioned as the #1 receiver.

Olsen was the 31st overall pick. Davis had a great overall career but honestly he never had the impact I expected him to have coming out of college. I'll never forget watching him just absolutely shred my Tar Heels and we had a decent secondary at the time with some NFL prospects on it but we didn't have anyone who could run with the guy. Not even close to it. He was 6" taller and 50+ pounds heavier and he was still WAY faster than anyone in our secondary. He was just straight up blowing by everyone. It was crazy to watch. You had to just sit back like

That's wild considering I personally don't even know a college baseball fan. Seriously. Not one. It's like it doesn't even exist. They follow MLB and they'll go to local minor league games as a social event. But college baseball? Like pffff... you ain't poo until you at least get to minor league baseball.

It wouldn't be a question of Howell vs. Young. It's be a question of Howell + the trade package we spent to get up to #1 vs. Young. Young better be orders of magnitude better.

The "rockstar OC" that Rhule supposedly had to lure to save his job. Oh wee mayne.

I mean, I kinda understand not having two rookie QBs to split up developmental time. Especially considering that our staff clearly didn't have much if any interest of actually developing a rookie QB. I'll just never understand Corral > Howell. Full disclosure, Corral was my #2 QB in last year's class but the gap I had between Howell and him was pretty damn wide. I liked Willis' potential but trying to project him out of Liberty was just a leap I wasn't comfortable making. Pickett? Fuging please. If he hadn't been gifted an extra year to play as a literal man amongst I'll prepared boys due to COVID restrictions the guy probably doesn't even get drafted.

Honestly no, but if you're relying on a rookie UDFA to be a significant contributor... oh wee mayne.

Speaking of the Commanders... Here's a guy who knows a thing or two about QBs and NFL offense drooling over Sam Howell for 5 minutes.

The experiments he was subjected to at Harvard are interesting. Gotta wonder what role they may have played in what he ultimately became. Interestingly enough, my wife's uncle was a geologist and lived in the same small Montana town. He knew Ted. No one really paid him any mind in town. He was just kinda the crazy town hermit that didn't really bother anything so whatever. He pretty much only came into town to go to the library.

Very decent chance of it. I think he's definitely in the best situation of all the likely rookie QB starters. OROY is virtually always a QB, RB, or WR. WR seems highly unlikely this year. Not that there won't be good WRs out of this class (I hope we got one of them), it's just that none are expected to be plug and play studs. If I was a betting man, I'd bet very heavily on the OROY being either Bryce Young or Bijan Robinson.

I have old turf toe injuries on both big toes. My left one cracks like a .22 rifle being shot about every third step.

Yeah, it's crazy how thin we are at CB given the resources we've spent in relatively recent years. I guess that happens when your top 10 pick is made of porcelain and your 2nd rounder pops an Achilles. Everyone is thin at CB if you take way both of their outside starters.

If Wilcher is that deluded then it's addition by subtraction IMO. These guys have to understand that 6'4" combo guards are a dime a dozen in the NBA. And another dose of reality... "combo guard" is just a nice way of saying "undersized SG". Again, a dime a dozen in the NBA. Wilcher is ranked what? In the mid-30s? How many guys ranked in the mid-30s are OAD? Hell, for that matter, how many guys ranked in the mid-30s ever make an NBA roster? I get it. Virtually every 4 and 5 star recruit thinks he's a future NBA or NFL player but the reality is that most of those guys won't play in the NBA. At least with basketball there's ample international opportunities as well. A mid-30s ranked 6'4" "combo guard" thinks he's a surefire OADer? Okay. Bye.

Dalton was always an insurance policy and vet mentorship. For the future, Corral outright winning the backup job would absolutely be for the best.

He became the starting QB as soon as we traded up to #1 overall and made the decision to draft him. You don't make a trade like that for a guy to sit and develop.
