  1. Yes but if they want to draft a QB they may fool a team into not trading up ahead of Broncos. And there is still possibility of Teddy being traded again or even Drew.
  2. That would have been really scary for Allen to have to play for G👀se! Note: Better title but duplicate.
  3. instincts are what you cannot do without I know there will be Stevie critics here but he had 3 straight 1000 yard games for Buffalo. Stevie Johnson was a player with incredible instincts who needed right coaching and QB to display. Most coaches would just say 'run the route as designed" and if he did that he would have been extremely limited. Chan told him to be at certain spots at certain time and run the route how you best see it and he blew Darrelle Revis, who was top CB at time, out of the water. It helps that Ryan Fitzpatrick is an extremely intelligent QB and can anticipate some of the moves. https://vault.si.com/vault/2013/11/04/the-case-for-stevie-johnson Week 13: Film Session - Stevie Johnson Thurman breaks down some film of Stevie Johnson's big day against Darelle Revis https://www.buffalobills.com/video/week-13-film-session-stevie-johnson-6415402
  4. I''d say Chuck Bednarik was underrated but the other 3 ahead of him were so good hard to raise him. I have seen old film and I love ironman football.
  5. Williams signed a contract with the Argos in November 2019, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic never suited up for the double blue. https://3downnation.com/2021/04/27/former-nfl-argos-running-back-karlos-williams-retires-from-professional-football/
  6. Seen comparisons between two RBs first years. The OL/game plan was very different which is partly why Motor digressed. In Motor's 1st year guards like Quitinn' Span created holes for RBs to run but last year guards concentrating on redirecting rushers to give Josh time to throw, dodge and scramble so performance of all RBs was down. Josh also takes runs which normally would be run by RBs so I think this makes their performance look worse.
  7. Some drive when drunk, some sing songs loudly off key and so post repeat threads. So Beerball is of later type, no big deal for there are a lot of the front forum of TSW.
  8. I saw Allen as perfect QB for Ravens - they had a starter which was aging but had similar attributes - which would give him time to develop and be schooled in NFL style football. It was clear the head coach of Wyoming was a good coach but had limited resources. What I missed was Ravens' philosophy of using a shot gun rather than sniper rifle and not being willing to spend resources to move up in draft.
  9. NFL has changed rules many, many times so focusing on Canadian rule changes make no sense. Did NFL make changes to spite CFL? There are some rules I think XFL would adopt from CFL in any merger and would have less issue than CFL although CFL seems to be looking (as do some CFL teams) are looking for new blood. I do think the XFL owners may able to bring capital into CFL including new advertisers and sponsors. This combined league will not become a USFL or AFL competition so if they want to thrive they need to align with NFL somehow to make it more appealing to players like NFL Europe.
  10. I thought Ravens were going to trade up to get Allen. He is type of QB they usually signed - tall, strong, big armed and perfect replacement QB who sits a year. Never figured Ravens were going to take a RB as QB, generally not their style. Too Tebow-ish. Darnold seemed to type teams liked and not want. Another CA QB. Could not figure out Baker Mayfield. Texas QB did not seem to fit AFC East. I was worried we would get Rosen as leftover and generally hate California QBs and completely unsuitable for AFC East.
  11. He cannot focus on two things at once?
  12. Wild turkeys can fly so he was correct. Idiot marketing director Herb got wrong type. Dropping wild turkeys in Thanksgiving game in Dallass is a great idea. Wild Turkey American Honey Bourbon Whiskey would be perfect complement to the half time show.
  13. Unfortunately my girl is a city girl cannot shoot the squirrels in our yard.
  14. She looks like one of the nuns from Sunday School.
  15. I think TMZ flips out over everything - it is their thing.
  16. They already did that. Had member of media being GM for a team.
  17. There are football players who have gotten valid degrees - it is based on how much efforts players want to put in it. You think Ryan Fitzpatrick's business degree from Harvard is not valid? There is a player Laurent Duvernay-Tardif who graduated from medical school in college (good way to pay for it) and was fourth medical school graduate to play in the NFL.
  18. I got a job interview via subcontracting agency, interviewed at company and was given offer. Ends up I knew people working at company. I agreed. Later subcontractor came back and said company wanted me to work at a different location more than 30 miles further and I told agency that is not job I agreed to; other job was so close I could go home for lunch. Day of 1st day on new job he called me and said company was expecting me and I told him I told you that is not the job I agreed to. He asked "What I am supposed to tell them?" My response was whatever you say don't lie. I know people at company and they will tell you what you told them.
  19. Looked at Instagram of Josh's Allen (just top, not have account) and not think that is Josh Allen's account. He could also do Cantaloupe commercials. There are a lot of "Grown in California" commercials.
  20. I could see him being a natural spokesman for farm interests like the "Nuts" commercial. He could say "Not only am I a customer but I help grow them during offseason."
  21. Team only gets rights and player can choose to not sign with team. A player can also choose not to play for team chosen and choose to go into draft following year. The player will get lots of opportunities to hear which teams they will be willing to sign for. Players also are required to abide by union bargained pay scale. I am surprised some talking head has not spoken against players being required to be represented by union even in right-to-work states.
  22. It looks like we have Diggs to Allen TD pass to lock forward to.
  23. Good Times Bad Times Mixdown (For those who do not know Gungy is lead singer in band and that is the song I heard for him)
