Kyle Love and Vernon Butler both expect to play Sunday

In case you guys had a nightmare where we'd have absolutely no one to rest Short or Star, looks like that won't be happening.

Looks like both expect themselves to be on the field. Even Vernon Butler should get some time.

Hopefully this will be the case come Sunday when we will know for sure if they're ready.

I'd feel much better if there were reports that they are "expected to play". Them personally saying that they expect to play doesn't mean much ...the team may very well still decide to hold them out for precautionary reasons.

This.

 

You need to stop changing the wording up on some of these tweets.

In his defense, his wording of the tweets is more-or-less accurate. I feel like he just has a habit of making off-base conclusions from tweets, statements, one or two GIFs, etc. (i.e. his first sentence in the OP). How you can take those tweets and present that as evidence that they will "never" miss any time...is beyond me. :thinking:

Lol what have I changed? I said Kyle Love and Vernon Butler expect to play, not "are expected"

It's what they said.

Reading is a fine art hence outrage in social media with people reading things through their bias lens.

aint gonna lie, initially I read it as "expected" as well, started pieing the people bashing Saca, then realized he did indeed say "expect," in which case I removed my pie from the Saca bashers and pied Saca instead. 

a lot of effing work for a simple reading comprehension past particple brain fart

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
