Sweet car. Bad head gasket?

Very well done on the music. Outside of the talent, its incredible how far recording has come.

What kind of car?
-
Playing, writing and listening to music. In my twenties a band my brother and I started locally ended up touring nationally with a bunch of well-known metal and hard rock bands. Nowadays is mostly spent with my wife and kids. My oldest son is a good athlete, so high school football and AAU basketball. Outside of that its writing, coaching football/baseball, collecting sports cards, NYT crosswords, Jeopardy, reading with a particular interest in Norse Mythology and Scandanavian history. Also, absolutely love mowing my lawn.

Could have used your help about ten years ago. One of my hobbies is writing. Always wanted a vintage typewriter to work on smaller pieces. My laws bought me one for Christmas but it didn't work. Never had a chance to actually use it. Sold it before I moved into a new house about 5 years ago.

Correct meant to put 365. -
Training camp a rainy July 31 2025 day
thenorthremembers replied to scuba guy's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think it really depends on the style of defense. To your point Wilfork was 6'2 325, Casey Hampton was 6'1 325. Then again, Ted Washington was 6'5 325. For linemen in general I think its advantageous for guys with longer arms to play on the edge, and for more stout players to play inside. My concern is when I hear about a guy who is really tall the 6'7s the 6'8s or 6'9s with pre-existing back problems. -

Stroud and Campbell both played sub 315 pounds. The Henderson point is a good one, and actually a nice body comp for Walker. That said, Henderson was a mad man. If Walker can get that sort of blood flowing through his veins watch out. -

Did you read my post? My point was whether the Bills have him at 1 tech or 3 tech. There arent a lot of 6'7 1 techs walking around. Thats because playing 1 tech requires good leverage. Guys who are 6'7 with bad backs arent usually the best benders, which is something good leverage requires. Yes, defensive tackle requires players to be "big and heavy" I dont expect Walker to be 6'7 185, but if he is going to play 3 tech he should consider losing some weight in his belly. How do you think the pars defect happened? How do the Bills best maximize his athletic ability and make sure he stays available? -

I am very curious about the first depth chart to see where they are using Deone Walker. Given his size I feel like people assume he is a 1 Tech, but I feel like he could use to lose about 20-30 pounds as a 3 tech. He is a massive guy, but he carries a ton of weight in his belly, and isnt very stout in his lower body. Incredibly gifted football player, but I think part of what drove teams away from him is the lower back and conditioning issues. Both of which could be a result of carrying bad weight. -
Wishbone and 46 (can it still work in modern day NFL)
thenorthremembers replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is not how football works at any level anymore. You can run a play out of the wishbone, you can have elements of your defense that is 4-6, but very few defenses run straight base defenses anymore. Specific to the wishbone, you cant eliminate the pass threat and be successful, not even in high school football. -
Bills Mafia gained another angel in heaven.

Way way too young. Many condolences to her family. -
Speaks a lot to how a great QB makes everyone around him better. The bottom line with Gabe is you cant have a featured wideout who cant catch the ball.

Bills sign WR Kelly Akharaiyi, resign UFL WR Deon Cain

Thought he was very good in camp and preseason last year. -

Do you still watch the NFL Hall of Fame inductions?
thenorthremembers replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Depends on who is speaking. If there is a player I liked watching play a lot I'll listen in. The only two I've watched in the last ten years were Peyton Manning and Brett Favre. -

Preseason - Around the League
thenorthremembers replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Wilkins was well on his way to another good season last year. The year before that he was an absolute menace. That said, he is 30 years old coming off a foot injury, lower body is never good for guys over 300 pounds. Would be all for bringing him in if he fits the culture, but I dont expect him to sign anywhere for less than 13 million. I'd watch NE. Minnesota, Miami and Carolina for a move here. -
I use this line on my wife when she is mad at me. For instance, she might say "the student loan bill is late." I would say "I couldnt care less about the loans struggling, I wanna kiss you." 60% of the time, it works everytime.

Can this week just end already? I was a little Hulkamaniac. Dressed as Hogan for Halloween two years straight when I was a kid. Just like Ozzy, this one is gutting. Just an absolute ICON. Now I have to read and listen a bunch of sinless people comment on the bad things the guy did in his life in spite of all the good he did.

Until the NFL gets involved and treats this like a developmental league its not going to work. There has to be something outside of boredom that ties people to the league.

No, its the first day of camp. If Keon cant cut the mustard, there is a whole depth chart of wideouts waiting for their opportunity. Someone will step up if he cant.
