A prediction I've had at my tailgate took 'till Week 17 to happen...

Since Week 2, I have been joking with my tailgate that Melvin White would get a pick 6.  I have made this prediction every pre-game and it finally happened.  

 

Melvin, I salute you.  I know it's been rough for him a lot this year but for an UDFA rookie, he's done fine for me.  I'm not christening him a main stay starter for next season but he's shown promise albeit with some glaring rookie speed bumps.

 

His pick-6 was the complete momentum shifter in the ATL game.

He's been a nice surprise, as has the rest of our secondary.

 

I mean I understand that with our front seven an average secondary will be a good secondary but what I like seeing that rises above that are those game changing plays.  Mitchell, White, Captain and Florence have been able to to just that this year.  Not saying we're fine back there by any means, just that a CB1 with White and Captain in the nickel would be a solid secondary and next step.

I agree with you.  They've been better, much better, than I expected - it's not just the front seven, the entire defense is playing well, and the CBs are a big part of that

in all fairness.. if the goal line wasnt RIGHT THERE... it wouldnt of been a pick 6... still nice int though, but lets not get carried away.. we still need a 1/2 draft pick corner

 

Yea I agree, White has been picked on by a lot of teams but I feel he's endured it all pretty well.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
