Miyagi-Do Karate

Been on here since 1998 (As a “guest” for the first four years, until y’all made me register). WHatever happened to that one guy who decided one day to just become a Steelers fan to improve his quality of life?!

Cook has looked pretty good. The only guy who has looked better is future hall of famer Raheem Blackshear.

I think part of the problem with the oline in the past had to do with scheme— specifically, the RPOs we would run. Guys like Ford should not be running RPO’s. They need to just go out and blast some people. With those RPOs, the linemen almost have to block in a very tentative manner.

i agree that the league has changed, but in a way that has actually made top-end RB value even more worthless. There really are no more premium running backs, outside of like two guys. And everything is really a time share. That’s what makes it frustrating when teams still won’t give these undrafted guys a chance. Odds are— if actually given a chance— Blackshear will outproduce Devin. But we will never know.

there is always a stud preseason RB that we never give a chance to. I would even go back to Lionel Gates, who was our 7th rounder in 2005 and lit it up in preseason. there is a serious bias in the NFL Against late-round RBs. And yet so many late rounder or undrafted guys— when actually given the chance— succeed in the NFL (Priest Holmes, Arian Foster, Willie Parker, Fred Jackson, Terrell Davis, etc.)

Well, it’s all relative. All three are great in the sense that they can all meaningfully contribute to the DL rotation.

would be really painful to lose Bryant, ankou, or love to the giants. Those guys are all really great.

"You get six touchdowns on six drives, obviously nobody did good. So we have to evaluate the group as a whole. We have to tackle better. We have to hold the point better. Everything," Hackett said. "Obviously, our defense didn't play good enough. The offense didn't play good enough, especially in the beginning. But that's why we do this."

I don’t mind this if the market dictates it. But this is all the more reason that they need to really open up training camp to the masses. That’s really the way you can get the whole family to enjoy the team. Having the limited tickets to camp and the failure or the app still really irks me.

the paint colors are way too dated. They need to re-paint the entire interior. It looks like Trading Spaces circa 2001.

I also was once worried about Mike White.

I saw this. I don’t own any pets, and yet somehow the bots at twitter have discovered that I love dog and cat videos, because that’s pretty much all I watch on twitter.

i know they switched Hart to guard, but I agree: I never want to see him ever again. It’s amazing how he always sneaks back onto the roster.

especially if Bobby hart is out there in front of him.

Benford can also be the future at safety with his ball skills and size. I think they should look at working him in there.

When this thing was heading to the initial hearing, I predicted 12 games. This was a good deal for Watson. But if he truly is a serial predator, this won’t be the last we hear from him.

Never understood the benefit of a guy whose only talent is to set the edge.

Well, I hope you are right! But I see the colts as having an elite o-line and the best running back in the NFL. Terrific receiving options in Pittman, Allie-Cox, and Hines; very underutilized last year due to wentz. And Ryan will be great in that offense, esp since he will be protected and they will remain run first. On D, they just play fast and physical at every level, and got better in an already great secondary. They also have been an opportunistic D— even in the pre-season game against us a week ago, they were doing the same stuff (tipped picks, etc.). My only hope is that they take a step back on D due to losing Eberflus to the Bears.

I am going to make an early prediction that the Colts will be the #1 seed. Most complete team in the NFL. I would put the Colts, Bills, Titans, and Broncos in the top tier this year. (Titans make the list because they always seem to find a way to be there).

I actually am more surprised that he was in anyone’s camp. That dude is done.

No imagination! I fully expect McLoud and Cam to be snatched up by them if they don’t make the roster.

Bobby Hart— always surviving!!

I think the over/under on Julio’s games played is going to be like 8. I guess if they can squeeze 7 or 8 healthy games out of him, maybe it was worth it?

yup. Schoen poached him from us like hours after he became Giants GM— seriously. for all of us A Dub fanboys, I was really disappointed that we never gave him a chance here after he looked so good in that Miami game.
