Dude... Philly..... Dude......... Mufuggin Philly..... How? Troll2 AND Rescuers?? Where do you come up with this, I mean how??#%*?? AND make it fit like a glove....

Fuggin amazes me, overly diversified sources, pinpoint association, passive education, and, at the same time, an ennobling call to arms.... 

Man, thank you, you straight deliver.....

@PhillyB Wonderful write up! Your description of The Hero with a Thousand Faces reminds me of a book I bought at a used book sale in college, Atlantis The Antediluvian World. Originally written in 1882 by Ignatius Donnelly, I had the 1949 edited & updated version lol. It looked at all the myths & legends & religious affirmations of the stories of the Great Flood & Atlantis. All religions have the tale. I should read it again some day to see how viewpoints have changed since 1949.

A quick note. I had stopped doing this because I didn't want anyone to think I was a grammar/spelling nazi. They just jump out at me. I can leave most things go but I thought with this, your before Super Bowl (take that NFL!) piece, you may want to correct this.

5) Belly of the Whale. The hero lives leaves his world behind for good

Only thing that slapped me cold. Well, except "the ability to self-reflect" when I stopped to think that would be a very good thing if more people took the time to do it. :)

 

 

@Montsta This should be stickied, please. Too much (duplicates galore) rolling in to keep the good stuff on the front page. Thank you!!

Philly, I love you brother... But ain't no way them dirty horses put up 20 on the legion of whom. And ain't no way we give up a defensive TD to them, or special teams.

I was gonna say, 'do we have to let 'em get 20?' I'd be OK with 31, but I like 31-13 better. It's a number swap and has a nice ring to it.

Frodo was being chased by Black fuging Riders and thinking Gandalf was going to find them any second now.

Do you still play LOTRO bro? I started back a couple months ago and try to play a few times a week.

Good stuff, PhillyB

Frodo bounded joyfully out of the Shire

My nerddom is showing, but that was Bilbo. Frodo was actually very reluctant to leave the Shire.

 

EDIT: Ahh, I see my fellow nerds beat me to it. Damn, we're a enlightened lot, aren't we? ;)

    • So we can expect six QBs taken in the top 12 from here on out each draft?  Wanna wager that won't happen next year?
    • Excellent.  I think BC is also the emergency 3rd string swing T, but maybe he needs to focus on C considering Corbett could be gone by 2025. The only people I have seen concerned about center are the experts and fans--they seem to be content here, but they did sign a C in UDFA.  I think they view Corbett as a seasoned veteran who has the ability to function as a C.  In fact, his college coach felt that is where he'd play in the NFL...I dunno.  I think Willie Drew (UDFA) could surprise you and take a CB spot.  Probably has a 30% chance.  Jamison almost made the Niner's roster in 2022, and he was decent here.  He is only 24-25 years old, so with Drew, we have depth.  Jamison should compete with Hill for the Nickel duties, and maybe Drew could play behind Horn and Smith-Wade to be the big nickel.  With the way nickel is used, we could carry 6 CBs.  Dane will start across from Horn and Hill as the nickel.  His spot is not secured.  I wonder if we keep Jammie Robinson on the roster--but you went with probabilities here, as you should.   Thurman (DT) played surprisingly well last season and he should stay a backup.  Tuttle may need to be moved to DE-I don't know.  I use PFF not because it is an exact science--it is somewhat subjective and misleading at times--but it is the most accurate attempt to evaluate performance available to us.  I think Ray is 26, so he should be performing at a higher level--he is basically in the bottom third, along with Shy Tuttle.  At OLB, Barno outperformed DJ Johnson but got fewer snaps.  Both should be safe this year, behind Wonnum and Clowney.  Leota played in 8 games and was on nearly half of the special teams plays, but he got snaps at Edge as well, earning an impressive rating in limited play.  He may be back on the PS at the beginning of the season, but he held the edge better than anyone else, imo.  I have no idea what to think about Chaisson, but after 3 seasons, it is time to perform at a high level or get out of football.  If he performs, the former first rounder COULD team with Wonnum, Barno, Johnson, and Leota to be a decent edge group.   2023 PFF Grades - Defense POS Player Grade POS Rank Snaps % Snaps DI Derrick Brown 90.1 4th of 130 940 89% DI Nick Thurman 63.4 48th of 130 367 35% DI LaBryan Ray 54.6 84th of 130 355 34% DI Shy Tuttle 52.9 91st of 130 549 52% Edge Amari Barno 64.0 NA 188 20% Edge Eku Leota 65.6 NA 77 15%             Edge DJ Johnson 50.4 NA 231 22%                         CB Dane Jackson 64.5 NA xxx 50% CB Jaycee Horn 84.1 NA 276 26%             CB Troy Hill 62.4 73rd of 127 494 47%             S Xavier Woods 80.3 12th of 95 796 75%             S Sam Franklin 58.0 NA 289 27%              
    • Coach killer. If Bryce at least showed drive, a temper your friends were afraid of… someone may take a flier on him.  If it’s last year’s Bryce part 2, then arena league it is.
