Doc Brown

I don't see too many leaving after the avalanche of firings/resignations the last couple of years. I think the Colts make the playoffs with Reich and the Skins have a .500 type season and with all the shady stuff at the top they'll value having a steady presence in Ron Rivera. I'll go with Matt Rhule - he reminds me of Fangio last year at this time. A solid defense with nobody at quarterback with questionable game management skills. Mike McCarthy (replaced by Kenny Moore) - it's the Cowboys. Eagles win the division. Cowboys sneak into Wild Card spot and go one and done. Arthur Smith - Falcons won't win more than five games and Blank will want a new head coach/gm to pick their next franchise QB at the top of the draft next year.

I don't know who Thor Nystrom is but I like him already. He gave 19 teams a B- or worse.

Elam if he develops quickly both short term (Tre White may start season on PUP list) and long term (having two dependable outside CB's will take pressure off our safeties who may be replaced within the next year or two).

It's an interesting topic. If Araiza struggles pinning a team inside the 20 then my guess is it'll make them more likely to go for it say 4th and 7 from the opposing teams 44. On the other hand, 4th and 1 from our own 37 he may send Arazia out there to blast it when he'd go for it if Haack was still our punter. Who knows.

There's no way that's right. Since the schedule's not predetermined I'll bet you a million dollars we play at Kansas City in the regular season in 2023 for the third straight year. I just have a gut feeling on that one.

Look. It seems like a solid source. I'm just going to point out that Thanksgiving week will be week 12 though.

He was a better CB at New England than he was here. I don't know if it was coaching or scheme but he was superb in New England over three and a half seasons after starting slow with them.

Last year we faced Mike White, Davis Mills, Trevor Siemean, Jacoby Brissett, Cam Newton, Taylor Heinicke, a decrepit Ben Roethlisberger, and three first round rookies on lousy teams (Lawrence , Mac, and Wilson). There's no way we get that easy of a slate of opposing QB's again.

We face better offenses this year so we're going to have to keep pace. The weather has to be better than last year. Right? I think we average around 31.

They've had that the last four seasons and have one playoff victory against a similarly built team (Titans). The lack of a vertical passing game will always be a problem for them until they seriously address it through a change in scheme and an upgrade at WR. I feel like they continue to spin their wheels.

Good point. They also took Darren Waller in 2015. I was just surprised most of the national media are fawning over their draft yet they failed to address their most pressing need after losing Hollywood Brown.

They did nothing to address WR though after trading Brown away. They got great value picks throughout but Bateman is now their #1 WR. They seem content on running the ball and relying on a strong defense. Just a strange way to build a roster in today's pass happy NFL.

It's a combination of a weak QB class and so many teams taking QB's in the first the last couple of drafts (nine total first rounders). If anything the fifth year option and the rookie wage scale and the fifth year option makes it more likely teams will draft a QB in the first. You don't have to make a Jamarcus Russell one of the highest paid QB in the NFL before he even takes a snap anymore. Average QB's taken in first round from 2000-2010 - pre rookie wage scale: 2.54 Average QB's taken in first round from 2011-2021 - post rookie wage scale: 3.27

How are his squib kicking skills?

Ladies and Gentleman, we got him.

It's not the only need but it's the only positional player we can draft at this point that would help this team this year.

Let's just pretend Beane drafted Shakir in the 3rd and Bernard in the 5th to make everyone happier.

Something tells me you don't know the limitations of the BMI index. What's his body fat percentage? For example, Isaiah McKenzie has a 26.3 BMI and is considered overweight. His brother Dalvin's BMI is 30.1 and he's considered obese by that metric.

Same thing with Trayvon Walker as he seemed to have better size and speed than Bernard but in Beane we trust.

Does that include pass catching TE's and RB's?

Shoot that combination into my veins. Love Pierce and Cook gives you that pass catching RB they covet.

They could've and I think that's the pick if they're looking to move on from Edmunds after this year. I wouldn't be surprised if they extend him this summer.

That Super Bowl win was all Brady according to the geniuses who think Brady made Belichick.

He may have some medical condition as he said he didn't get the Covid vaccine due to "my own personal medical history."
