you guys just dont understand!

it's HARD reaching for that bag of chips on the other side of the couch when you weigh 350#'s.

I think it is damn funny as hell when people make fat, lazy, and out of shape references about Otah. It really shows a new level of ignorance.

Otah has a suspect knee. He is not...nor has he ever been....lazy and out of shape.

Move along.

I agree. Only thing he has ever been guilty of is being a tad soft when it comes to playing w/ injury

That could be a legitimate statement. Hard to say exactly how much pain and swelling he was fighting.

I know people who had arthroscopic knee surgery and were back out doing everything in a few weeks (myself) and others where it took months. They just had additional swelling and pain from a similar injury.

true, and the fact he is a MONSTER might make it simply impossible to play through the type injury a smaller guy could.

Gross seemed to hint at not playing through pain though and I think those were the rumblings when he drafted him.

But Otah ain't soft on the field. Best RT overall in the NFC imo when on.

i happen to see otah quite a few times in the teeter downtown & i can tell you for sure he has lost a ton of weight. don't get me wrong he's still a massive dude but i think he understands that keeping his weight at a certain level will help his knee just about as good as anything else

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
