I know I don't come on here as much due to the constant moderator-led "I hate Fatt Rhule" crybaby circle jerk. I'm probably not the only one. If we consolidated all the whining to a high estrogen sub forum, it would probably help. I'm not sold om the guy, but dayum, it's been 2 seasons. I used to look at the Jets forum when I needed a laugh. This one is currently more embarassing.

Couldn't agree more.

Sweet moment...

That’s awesome. Seems like a great human being who was raised by two amazing people with a strong base of values. 
 

It’s nice to not only draft a great football player but get a great human being as well.

The effect of this pick must not be underappreciated. We indirectly improved 4 positions with 1 pick. 

Oline got better.. (If Brown ever starts next to this guy ...smdh...defensive players will get mauled in the run game). 

The Rb's will benefit (The protection and lanes he can produce...I actually think Chubba will really benefit from this.. I wont even mention the Cmc and Foreman combo.) 

The WR's will benefit..(More time for route development) 

The Qb's will benefit (Well....*maybe* this will help Sam get his feet in Rhythm without fearing for his life) 

I'm just glad we got lineman who can play LT and G(only if absolutely needed)...AND Icky has an added plus. Not only is he violent with his hands and pulling in the run game, he is really good at picking up stunts (which we struggled mightily with last season). By the time Campen and Moton get working with this kid we may indeed have an All Pro potential tackle on our hands. 

He was my top rated offensive player in this draft. And top 2-4 overall on 85% of big boards if I remember correctly. 

It only took a decade but I finally feel like we've addressed the position for the long term. I'm beyond excited.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
