I'm getting his jersey. 

that would be cool.  I want to get a Hoover Jersey--I dont want to spend $30 (weal NFL jewsees friend) or $200 for a jersey everyone else has--Make it a conversation piece.  Not a "one and done" vet either.  Nice call.

Gotta put Kasey up there, too.

I honestly thought about that--however, his kickoff with the score tied in Super Bowl 38 that gave Tom Brady the ball on the 40 yard line with about 2 minutes to go kept me from it.

Can a long snapper play until they're 50+?

 

Maybe in this era. A few played until low 40s. The hardest part becomes running down the field. I know JJJ took his body shape more serious that year Rhule drafted his replacement. He's carried that new body since. 

I remember Tim Wakefield pitching until 43, he was a knuckleballer and his MPH didn't matter. He still could pitch and get outs, the one thing at did him in was fielding his spot. Once teams knew, you bunt and get a free base due to the pitcher being unable to get the ball in a timely matter. 

JJJ can play until he is viewed as a weakness or liability. 

There's all sort of petides, roids, stem cells, and other meds that are reversing aging too. It's possible, very very low odds tho.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
