Ashawn Robinson comparing tattoos.....and he said something that sounded like Anton but must have been Ashawn

 

dude's listed as 6'3 but i swear that's the biggest 6'3 i've ever seen.

who was that mountain that went in before clowney?

jersey/pants combos are, by far, the least of my concerns with this team.

if they are losing, it doesn't matter what they wear...it all sucks.

if they are winning. who cares what they are wearing? 

but it's the offseason and we're bored, so here we are...again.

it just seems inevitable that leggette will be a panther.

well, this is a different uniform thread than i've seen before.

Sure why not?

The real question is: "Who will be the new offseason/preseason MVP now that CJ Henderson is gone?"

We'll be back to Ian Thomas.

That's one of the signs of the eclipse.

I kept my dogs in just in case today.

No chance in hell. Teams are in love with him and Fautanu from Wash.

Washington players get a LOT of love. Lot of hype for them.

One thing about these rankings is who decides them? I mean there's a consensus, but it's just media consensus, right? And by consensus, I mean kind of sort of consensus.

Like who decides who the best players are? Who ranks them? Who's ranking do we go by? Is it all some hype machine? (Yes, it is)

And when we shout "just draft the BPA" who's list are we using?

Who decides who gets picked too early or falls below where they should have gotten drafted? Who decides where they should be drafted?

Snipping that out up there... I am banking that Canales has the advantage of absolute certainty of what he is dealing with at QB and will not be hindered as Reich was last year by Brown’s forced involvement (I never understood why you hire a NFL lifer that played QB and is seen as a QB guru head coach but give a former running back ,who had never done it before, dominion over the scheme) 

I expect to see more what I expected to see last year. 

A shrunken field, congested LOS, teams daring our QB to beat them with his arm. So a bunch of short quick stuff but I don’t know what kind of running attack.. depending on if they can get any kind of under center QB play, or if it just all weak ass shotgun type of PA that fools no one. I guess a pro coach can work something up but it does not seem to be anywhere close to an ideal situation.

I mean, I believe Canales knows what needs to be done, but I am not sure it can be executed and if not, he can’t do it that way, as we watched happen last year. Which would possible resolve this situation moving forward, and that is what I want to see ASAP.

 

I think he can get it done, but I doubt it will be quick. I think it will be a slow and agonizing process (I hate that word) and just like the run game with Tampa, we could be a half season in before things start to click at all and we see any progress.

I'm just not expecting much the first half because it's a lot of people who have to learn their roles and get comfortable with their place in the big picture.

I do think it will start off relatively simple so they just have to learn how to do simple things really well and build from that foundation.

Yep, all the chatter just means less and less and gets more and more inaccurate as we get closer to the draft.  Look every year at qbs.  As the draft gets closer every year there are qbs that supposedly are raising more and more and then when the draft gets here thats hardly ever the case. 

Now I know there are draftniks with connections who are getting fed stuff from insiders, but every bit of information is suspect. It all comes with an agenda and these draftniks are getting played, not that they are all that concerned because it gives them clicks. So I guess it's us who ultimately get played because we dig into this poo take it seriously thinking that we're educated.

Mingo apparently had a great interview with us last year prompted the front office to over draft him.   I think interviewing is one thing but most guys have 2-4 years of game film do go off of.  I think the interviewing part is overrated and can easily be manipulated   

True and you can say the same thing about the combine.  it's overrated as poo.

In all facts of life some people know how to manipulate evaluations of all kinds.

I know people who interviewed well who don't know poo and those who interviewed poorly and missed out on jobs that they should have had. I know people who test well and are idiots and people who are brilliant but just suck at taking tests.

The only thing that really matters is the tape. You can gauge true performance and true progress if there's several years worth.

No one is falling right now, nor rising.  Thats all sports media.  Team boards have been set for a while now but youre going to hear all kinds of changes reported because thats what sports media has to do.   Odunze is clearly locked in at wr #3 at worst.  Nabers is the one the media is actually trying to push down right now "leaking" a lot of stuff about teams having character concerns.

Yeah that's the weird thing to me. What can these guys possibly do to raise or lower their "stock"?

It's all completely speculative in behalf of the draftniks who all feed off each other's takes.

They go through weird phases like that. You'll see guys like Brock Bowers going in the top 3 one moment And then you've got him available at 33 the next time and then he's back in top 5.

I try not to take it as exact players when I mock, even though there's guys I prefer over others. I think it's more about positions that would be available at that moment.

But the draft itself in reality is really wonky because there's guys that you and everyone are sure are going to go early who inexplicably fall and then there's others that go much earlier than all the experts go.

You never know what really any team has in mind when they go into the draft and you can't predict what they will do when their board changes.

Maybe teams see a player fall that they were sure would have gone earlier all of a sudden fall a bit below where you thought they would go and then think maybe other teams passing them by know something you don't so you pass them as well. So many reasons for players falling where you think they shouldn't.

We think we know where players should go, but we don't know how individual teams actually perceive players that we mock to them.

So basically, as crazy as it is to see Rome there, it's good to see stuff like that happen because it prepares you for the actual craziness of draft day.

Posting videos of his workout?

Dunno about likeable yet, seemed entitled last year. We'll see what he can do. Not impressed with how he handled the offseason so far, and it should be pretty obvious if the new coach is coddling him per Teppers requests pretty soon. Don't sense the Dan Morgan Dawg mantra in the guy

What is he supposed to be doing?

Maybe I am watching it wrong but it seems he loses the initial contact and then regains his footing after being driven backwards.  Not sure if thats a highlight or not

Not sure it's either. Just a snapshot of his first attempt.

I think with some work he could be alright at center. Not someone I would feel comfortable drafting with that intent, though. He'd be a project and that's too early to draft a project.

his product on the field has been straight poo  & then him throwing drinks on fans well yeah is a poo for brains.

So? We act like petulant children towards other adults who act like petulant children? Gotcha.

yeah ever since Dookie David took over  ownership it's  been more  like a turd swirling around the toilet bowl instead of a roller coaster ride ...just saying 

Dookie Dave?

I swear this place is getting more juvenile by the day.

I hate the part of "adult" culture that normalized this name calling poo.

I think we're due for something unexpectedly good.

Maybe having a former NFL player will work better-we have tried the ex-minor league baseball player, the ex-sports reporter for a second-rate newspaper--we have even tried one of the most successful high school football coaches in the nation.    We shall see, brother.

Which one was Robert Dinero's fat talentless cousin?

It's kind of funny.. .matt Rhule was the most consistent HC we ever had.

The question is how does a team on that kind of rollercoaster ride answer a 2 win season?

Ladd is injury prone and undersized.  Don’t dial in on a player without understanding what he can be in the league.  Pearshall is probably a better player.

If Keon Coleman drops he should be the pick.  There is no doubt in my mind he was better on the field than Ladd

Could be. I don't think Ladd is undersized more than Pearsall. Worthy is undersized because he's rail thin, but it's all what you are looking at/for. 

But honestly I like all these guys so much that it's hard for me to rank any of them. The next dozen or so after those first four I'm going to be excited about. I love Keon and Leggette because they are big beasts who just take the ball. Ladd and Pearsall and AD Mitchell because they got the moves, the routes, the separation, and the hands. Gimme Worthy, gimme Malik Washington, gimme Javin Baker. I'll take them all and finally feel good watching receivers again.
