Ever since our 7-9 season in 02 (Fox's first year) I've always like counted down the days until the opening of our training camp. Maybe its because I don't think we're going to be that good this year, but I can't say I'm that excited. In fact, I'm not that excited about the NFL as a whole. I'm not even that excited for college football, and my team is the defending BCS Champs ROLL DAMN TIDE!!!. Hopefully I'll come around soon but camp is about to start in a few weeks, and I'm just not there yet for some reason...idk.

Just burned out in general it sounds.

I'm anxious for the season to start. Change is exciting to me. New qb, new DL, some new WRs, new FB.

With Double Trouble and Smith, Beason, our Oline, anything is possible. Even if the younger guys prove to be bad their first year with significant playtime, I don't see the team doing any worse than a 7-9 record.

I'm incredibly excited. I just found that NFL Field Pass is free for the 2009 games. I'm THAT anxious for football, to where I'm listening to last year's (good) games in my headphones while at work.

Listening to that Giants game will really make you excited about this year. I can't wait to see what Moore can do with a full season.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
