Don't feel like going back 18 pages so if these have been posted, my apologies:

Kenjon Barner was born in Lynwood, CA. The same place where Steve Smith grew up.

If DeAngelo Williams is gone, we will have an all Duck backfield.

He once ran for 321 yards and 5 touchdowns against USC in 2012

Ran the 100 meters at 10.71 seconds

Averaged 6 yards per carry in every season of his 4 seasons with Oregon

It's so apparent that most people just don't quite get it. Everyone's a fugging gm these days, but I'm so fugging glad Gettleman is running my favorite team and not a bunch of "I watch the NFL network" mouth breathers.

You want playmakers on your team. This draft gave us playmakers, and definitely one of the best front sevens in football.

I want the Stewart, Barner combo. Perfect combo of power and speed. Kinda want Dwill gone to make way for this kid.

Btw, whats the major knock on him? What made him fall so damn far.

I feel like this dude is a stud

Small, concerns about his pass blocking ability.

I don't want to prematurely say that they'll make us the best front seven in the NFL, but fug if these guys can't get it done I don't know what will get us there lol

The dude had 1700+ yards and 23 TDs. Lol blocking makes him fall to the 6th? I guess it is his size. Whatever, everyone elses loss. Our gain

Those numbers are staggering, saw them earlier and was in shock we picked him up in the 6th. Just watching Oregon games in passing, I just though he was one of these elite athletes with just solid not elite production, was wrong.

What makes you think we see less than 2011?

I don't think he leads us in rushing but it is possible. 600-700 yards rush and 10 TDs seems just about a standard for him.

Depends on if a RB gets enough carries to top 600 or 700 yards

Just a gut feeling based on the comments from Rivera/Shula.

I "think" we will see a more traditional running game to compliment our passing game.

I still expect to see some read option this season. But, I think it will be less read option/gimmick and more power running and play action pass.

But, I could be totally wrong on this. We will see.

to have the traditional run game, carolina is going to need an oline that can block and create holes. I'm not seeing it from this group. They definitely need to bring in a vet from free agency to help.

I expect to see a vet RG brought in on a 1 (maybe 2 year deal). Let Kugzilla develop behind him.

I wouldnt be surprised to see RT and RG vets brought in.

I REALLY wish we were talking to Eric Winston :(

Not sure we have the cap space for him.

I see us going with Bell and bringing in a guy like Moore at G.

But, hey.....If I knew what the hell I was talking about I would work for an NFL team.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
