Marty impressed with new guard

Fair point.  I just think it's premature for him to start bragging about him when he hasn't even seen the full training camp or played a preseason game.

I mean, what are they supposed to say?  “He might not be good, we’ll see.”?

He sure did---it was a head scratcher.  But maybe that was to save face for a stupid draft pick.  There is no agenda for promoting a UDFA. 

I never thought Rivera was much about face saving, though you'd have more insight there than I would.

My take on Rivera has always been that he likes underdogs and "try hard" guys way too much. Maybe that's because he was that kind of player back in his Bear days. Don't know.

It might be distasteful, but sometimes the talented guy who doesn't try as hard is the better choice then the high character guy who's giving it all he's got.

That's just reality.

Hurney falls in love with "what could be" sometimes that he doesn't see the obvious.  there's a reason this guy wasn't drafted.

There’s a reason Norwell wasn’t drafted, now he’s the highest paid lineman in the NFL

He is also impressed with Amini.  

Yep and second round at that 

I was on vacation in Hawaii. Early mornings there and when I heard Hurney drafted Amini in the second rd, I tuned the tv off and had a very vodka laden Bloody Mary 

amini would not be picked up by anyone if he was cut right now

We all like to find that "diamond in the rough."  Marty has screwed up when he digs for diamonds in the draft.  Armanti Edwards stands out.  Maybe Silatolu, but he had a second-round grade on many boards.  Fua?

But also: Josh, Cap, and Hardy

Sometimes he misses but other times he's spot on.

Just when he missed before in the past that usually cost us future picks. Aimini doesn't sting as much as Armanti

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
