Not an overreaction: Velasco > Amini

I think the writing is on the wall for Amini, he has been hurt in the past but there has been no big improvement in his game and next year will be the last year in his contract. I would love to grab a big 6'5 mauler to put on the other side of Kalil

I agree with this. While I give him some leeway, I think he has been mediocre if not a liability. There are a lot of opportunities for improvement on the OL although I thought they did a pretty good job today and gave Cam some time.

Amini was a 2nd round pick too

 

I can't think of one Hurney pick that's doing something significant to help us win this season. And before people say Cam, Rivera is the one who scouted Cam and told Hurney to draft him. When I say significant I mean making game changing plays consistently

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
