Yeah, Rodak did a hack job on that interview. I'm sick and tired of it already.

Lol, I did it as a joke. Someone did a joke article about what the 2012 season would be like if George RR Martin wrote it. Guess which team comes from over the Wall? But yeah, Merriman has been gone a while and it's time to change it a bit. That's a great picture you posted, may I use it?

Jesus, did someone here kick Rodak's puppy? How is that petition to get rid of him going?

I fo think the front office admitted that he was the #1 FA target. Still...come on...Shady man.

Actually, that gives me hope. I've been using their video player and it's been working pretty well. As an out of town fan, it would be nice to see a game without taking off my pajamas, which will be on because, well, 9:30 AM.

I really don't see it. I really don't. Look, if Henderson and Cyrus really make abundant leaps and bounds this season, that would be great. In fact, considering some of the overloaded and unbalanced line formations Roman has run previously (shifting the LT to the right side with an extra swing tackle) it would be a great thing. It would be great if Kromer looks at those guys and says "well, if we are forced into a bidding war with Cordy next year it'll be the next man up." It would be great to have some backup plan in case, knock on wood, Cordy gets hurt. But Glenn is a great player. I fully expect him to be our starting LT.

I agree. Lawson in 2013 vs 2014 is apples and oranges. Pettine (and previously Rex, but we'll see) practically ran a 5-2. Subpackages make the base formation concept less hard and fast, but I have a feeling Lawson will be there to set the edge on 3rd and shorts.

Any bets on whether O'Leary kicked everyone's asses?

I think that has a lot to do with it. Rex really prefers to play bump and run man coverage, and now he has three corners who can do it (Gilmore, McKelvin and Darby)

I'm not sure why we'd freak out. Again, these are optional workouts to try to get things clicking before Minicamp and training camp. ...well, other than the fact that I want to see every throw, run, catch and block. FEED MY OBSESSION REX!

Don't get me wrong, empathy is not a zero sum game, and I can care about animals but Jesus this guy was an SOB beforehand

I guess it was Tuel's time. There, one last joke in the send off

What I can't believe is this is what might end his career, rather than the fact that he sexually aassaulted a woman, and in the aftermath she committed sucide.

If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak!

I know! Especially after the immediate impact felt by fellow fourth round picks Easley, Seacry, Bradham and Duke Williams! A fourth round pick not immediately producing after one season? Bust! Kim is cheap!

*wince* You had to remind me of that, didn't you.

I'm a fan of the Big Nickel as well. With all the spread offense, and running out of the shotgun and pistol, and dynamic TE's. Bucky Brooks did a great article on it. Graham is in that perfect middle ground where he can play like a CB or safety when called for either, which can mean that Rex can play mixed zone and man on given plays to screw with offenses.

That *is* new. Last I checked, Graham was insistent that he was a CB first. Still, I welcome the move. He really seems best suited to be our starting FS.

I'm pretty high on Karlos. I like what I've seen of his tape, so it's good to hear he has some positive signs at the next level.

I'm not sure how that's glorious. Still, I'll take average to mediocre QB play at this point.

I know I'm overanalyzing it, but man, Tyrod's accuracy issues have not been over stated.

I agree with a lot of people that I'm happy to see this. I love Graham. He was the most consistently good CB last year. But his skill sets (great ball skills, great at reading the QB and his anticipation ) coupled with his biggest weakness (his speed) make him a natural fit there. I don't see any problems with having a DB Corp deep enough that our starting safeties can cycle to CB without missing a beat.

He's admitted that he wasn't in the best shape at the start of last year. Here's hoping that being forced to ride the pine means that he's ready to live up to his potential this year. The nice thing about Roman and our Tackle situation is that he can absolutely put 3 tackles on the field at once. (Balco sets)

How does it effect people who retweet what actual reporters say?

Even of he is, which I think a lot of people might contest, you can argue that he makes the 2nd of the 2 TE sets Roman likes to run.
