Yeah, guys who go to Cal Berkeley are usually pretty stupid. Don't judge a person just because they grew up where they speak a little differently than you do. Marshawn is very intelligent.

He seems to tackle too high IMO. Much easier to break those than below the waist. Milano is OK, great in coverage, but pretty average everywhere else in my mind. He is not a stud as many here seem to believe. Not by any stretch. But considering where he was drafted and what he is being paid, he is overachieving. I agree with most here. We need a impact pass rusher. If we can get consistent pressure rushing 4, we are going to be tough to move the ball against. I'm not as concerned about the running up the middle. Don't forget, we get Harry back next year, basically like getting another first or second round pick. He was doing great against the run before he was injured.

Of course they should. A few reasons: 1. They already know the defense. They have played in it for over a season at least. No learning curve for them compared to FA or draft pick 2. You know what you have. If you draft a replacement or sign a FA you never really know what you are getting. With your own players you know exactly what you are getting. 3. Let them walk and who is to say you can find anyone better? FAs have to agree to come to your team. You can't just simply want them or pay them the most. Who is to say that we could get a top FA to be better than either one? 4. We can afford it. Josh is still on rookie deal. We got the cash. Unless they ask for crazy contracts, this is a no brainer.

Stop throwing screen passes!!! They never work for us. Just a wasted down or worse.

This man is a complete narcissist. He does things for the community, sure, but it is 100% to foster his brand and get the advertising out of it. Having intimate knowledge of how he treats his staff and family members I can assure you this is the case. He has a lot of you, and a lot of our community fooled. Trust me. I'll never spend a dime at any of his establishments ever again, and it has nothing to do with this letter..

Dumb commercial. Even dumber outrage over it.

Lee Smith. I'm serious.

All I know is that I am NEVER concerned he's going to drop a punt. That means a lot to me.

I'm sure its been mentioned already...but this draft is stocked with WR talent. If they want a WR they can count on a quality guy being available with their first pick regardless of where that is. I'm sure there will be hits in rounds 2-4 as well.

I don't care who or how we stopped him. The fact remains the same, I didn't even notice him on the field. Not once that I can remember. And that is a win.

I'm glad we got a few extra days of prep time and home field advantage. We are going to need as much in our favor as possible. They look unstoppable at the moment. If it's me I'm focusing on stopping Lamar's running ability first and foremost. Then I'm hoping for a big time performance out of the DTs moving the line and being vital in stopping the RBs. My last concern is the passing game. How to do any of that? Hell if I know.

Cheaper to get cable package with phone than without so we have one still. The ringer is on mute and the phone hasn't been used in over 5 years since I've lived in this place.

However, they are not going into those piles with a lot of momentum, so the actual force probably isn't as bad as getting hit in the open field by a LB.

Botterill needs to go. This team is so outclassed talent wise. How can you possibly be so bad for so long? I miss Darcy and Lindy so much.

It feels like they are spying him way more this season. That could be a big reason he isn't running as much. It's just not as open as it was last year.

High and Dry, Paranoid Android, Karma Police all got pretty good air time. Some other The Bends songs too, but not as much as those three. Pretty much off the air after OK Computer though. Except the rest of their stuff is pretty terrible. One drummer was the son of my grandma's neighbor (they were a Buffalo band if anyone wasn't aware). Not the future Tool drummer, another one. He gave me some sticks when they were in their 15 minutes of fame. It was pretty awesome to my middle school self.

This.

I was commenting on the one-hit wonder comment. Two years of solid play with this year being excellent contradicts that IMO. Of course he will be more expensive.

Except he's been balling pretty good for 2 years now.

I feel like there was a pretty good one in one of the Bourne movies, no?

The Cowboys have exactly zero wins against teams with an over .500 record. Their only impressive win was against a .500 Eagles team. Every other team they beat stinks or didn't have their starting QB playing. They even lost to the Jets. I just can't fathom why so many people are so scared of this game and chalking it up as a L. We have at least a 33% chance of stealing a win there IMO.

Fair point I didn't consider. Thinking back I can definitely understand what you are saying. Louisville's big throw plays were mostly in the middle of the field for sure.

Just stinks that when you rush one of them you lose some of the best cover LBs in the league. The key is to mix it up and keep the offenses guessing. Stay out of patterns that can be exposed with these blitzes.

Paying attention to him during his run at Louisville you could see enormous strides in his passing mechanics from his Sophomore to Junior years. Most notably in his footwork. That was what convinced me he was legit. I thought that while maybe still not perfect, he showed that he could learn a lot in just one off-season which was impressive to me.

Jackson was absolutely tremendous at Louisville. I have no idea why NFL teams didn't see him for the talent he clearly was. The WR talk was completely ludicrous. I had him behind Mayfield and Darnold on my list that year, but ahead of Rosen and Allen (who I, admittedly, had last out of the 5). To me, this was clearly not an RGIII scenario at all. He was thicker and had more arm talent than RGIII. I also was hoping the Bills would stand pat and take him (if he was there) with even their second 1st round pick. Mahomes doesn't disappoint me because I didn't see it from him in college. With Lamar, I did. Now, I'm a big Allen fan and am very pleased with what I am seeing trajectory and improvement wise, but I do catch myself wondering "what if..." with Lamar. Hopefully lots of fun, meaningful battles for years to come.
