Yeah, he sounded like a guy who reached the top of the mountain, achieved everything he set out to accomplish. I'd rather the guy say his goal is to win a Super Bowl, or become a starter, or All-Pro.... not just be satisfied to get drafted.
"I completed the promise. That means every-[expletive]-thing to me."
So he completed the promise, he reached his goal. What else does he have to play for?
He sounded like he accomplished his main goal and promise to his grandma, which was to get drafted.... that's not exactly what you want to hear from your first round pick.
My source tells me the pick will be LB Jarrad Davis (after a trade down).
McDermott loves his leadership abilities and character, which he's trying to improve on this team.
San Diego
If it wasn't for a few miraculous comebacks, the Chargers would be 6-3 and quite possibly 7-2.
Joey Bosa has changed their defense. They've won 3 of the last 4, including wins against Denver and Atlanta.
The Dolphins have played their last 4 games at home, winning their last two by a combined 7 points. They are 0-3 on the road, losing those games by a combined 24 points.
San Diego haven't given up a 100yd rusher all season and rank 5th in rushing yards allowed per game.
If Miami struggles to run the ball, Tannehill will be forced to throw.
On the flip side, Miami has the leagues 30th ranked rushing defense going up against Melvin Gordon who ranks 3rd in rushing in the NFL.
I like the Chargers in a rout.
Consider there are infinite parallel universes (there are, actually).... in at least one of those universes Trump owns the Bills and is not our next president. Unfortunately, we do not live in that universe.
The proposition was for an additional hotel tax, such that local San Diegans would not foot the bill for the stadium.
There's already a 10.5% "transient occupancy" tax on hotel rooms in San Diego. The measure would've increased the tax by 6% to 16.5%.... which would hurt the tourism industry.
Are we sure Marcell is done with rehab? I'd give him a few weeks to get back into game shape before throwing him to the wolves.... it's not like he was training everyday... he was in rehab.
...or trade for Romo, go .500 until Lawson, Dareus, and Glenn come back and Watkins foot completely heals.... finish the season on an epic 8-0 run on our way to Sup... oh nevermind.
That's what I don't understand. Rex said they didn't blitz because they need help in the secondary but every time Fitz threw Marshall, or Decker were in single coverage. Where were the safeties?
This was an 8-8 team last season, their personnel got worse this year.... I'm not sure what everyone expected.
GONE: Mario, Karlos, M. Lawson, Bradham, Rambo
MIA: Dareus, S. Lawson, Ragland, Watkins
...this is at best a 5-11 team.
