Da webster guy

Yeah when I see the Raiders I see a team that won 4 games last year, let a lot of talent go, picked up some pieces to make up for it but isn't winning more than 5 games this season either. Poor Raiders fans, Oakland, L.A., Vegas... pinballing around from city to city with a total weenie as an owner. Don't even have a home this season. This guy makes Ralph look like a big spender. Disaster. Imagine trying to raise a family as a long time Raiders player or employee, Oakland, L.A. and Vegas are probably the bottom three places in the nation to raise kids and they hit em all.

I like the idea of a Pancho statue outside the stadium holding up one hand for a good luck high five as fans walk into the stadium. Kinda like the ND Play Like a Champion Today sign that everyone touches on their way into the game. He'd like that too, being in the crowd was his thing, not on the stage.

keep in mind this is the offseason and these guys have to run a 3 hour daily show. Imagine if you had to spend 15 hours this week talking about a rookie minicamp. Seriously, how exciting and engaging do you think you could be? It's not an easy thing to do without sounding like a schlep sometimes, as evidenced by pathetically burned-out Mike Schopp's complete disgust for his job that comes through every time he speaks (and he gets to include hockey and other sports where Tasker and Murph stick to the Bills). I remember when Tasker was a guest on the show, they get to come in with a fresh new take, different voice, new energy, former player, good insights etc. It's why Brownie and Sal are such a fun listen, they love the team and they come in with new energy. It's a lot like my wife vs my girlfriend, the poor wife doesn't stand a chance because I hafta hear her every....single...day....droning on and on about the same old minutia....blah...blah....bl--NEWMAN !

Batting down balls for sure, and a few times he changed passes enough to cause incompletions. Shaq is a smart player, feels screens pretty well, can hold his ground on run blockers etc. He just got overdrafted and then injured, both of those things can nag a player forever. Here comes his chance to step into the light. Contract year, he knows the system, will be in a rotation that keeps him fresh. We might see Trent Murphy and Shaq both having productive seasons.

I don't know much about twobillsdrive.com other than the fact that I visit the site everyday for at least five years. still can't figure out why a site that updates content everyday and even has a dedicated header link to schedule still has the 2018 schedule up. i was gonna have my buddy Dmetri hack in and do it but i didn't want to alarm anybody, and the Russians are already tied for the Patriots for worst people in the world.

Everyone calls it a passing league but the Pats smoked the Chargers and Chiefs in the playoffs by running the ball against their pass-stacked dbacks. In the KC game alone they had 50 run plays. Sprinkled in some play action throws here and there, but controlled both playoff teams (and whipped us badly for 300 yards on the ground in NE) by handing off and pounding. When I see guys like Dawkins and Ford on the Oline it's hard not to think we could get back to the same ground attack we had with Shady and Touchdown Mike.

Kroft is supposedly a great guy, helpful etc. Dude has 4 years in the league, 8TD's 66 catches for 670 yards, he learned behind Eifert who had excellent skills. That's enough veteran for me at the position. Now let the kids fight it out. I still think Croom is going to make the cut at TE, he's more of a receiver but started to block pretty well as the year went on, even singled up against some good pass rushers.

Yeah I agree. Elway is a good example of someone who has made some decent moves but if he doesn't finally land a stellar qb in the next few years he's getting replaced.

Jets, Bills, Browns. All 3 or more wins over last year. Jets middle is now QW and Leonard Williams upfront, CJ freakin Mosley in the middle and Jamal Adams behind him. All elite players. Scary.

Well if John Wick says it's a good idea, it's definitely happening. If John Breech says it, there's no chance it's happening, because he lives in his mom's basement

If I were Ziggy, considering his injuries and that his career might be ending here in the next few years, I'm going to whoever gives me the most guaranteed cash. Personally I see Trent Murphy coming on this season. He's the same type of player injury risk but has the skills to get to the qb. Don't count that guy out yet. His body is still young, he just had three different things last year and he wasn't able to be anywhere near 100%

Is Pancho in Hospice? One outlet used that word, hope they're wrong. Poor dude I hope he's ok.

To me he looks like the same size as he's always been. Have always liked him since he ripped up the senior bowl, and glad to see him coming on strong last year. Sad to see people still slamming Zay for his drops as a rookie. He overcame that nicely last year and I can't remember a single drop all season (maybe one). Stood out in the Miami game, knows how to keep moving and playing through the whistle, a good trait to have when you have a QB like Josh who can extend a drop back to five or six seconds.

I'd probably hedge $500 in that case instead of the full grand because I'd have to have a guaranteed payout to make up for the fact that I'd be vomiting for a little while after I placed the Jets bet. Speaking of the Jets. They're starting to worry me a little. They have the best middle of the field on defense in the entire league. Adams at safety (elite), CJ Mosley at MLB (elite) and now Quinnen Williams and Leonard Williams in the middle, both of them monsters. I'm far less concerned with LeVeon than the way this defense is shaping up for them.

Agree with this. Beane is the master of low downside, high upside short term moves, and picking up the option meets all that criteria. The guy is a solid DE, as George Costanza might say, "right in the meaty part of the curve....not fallin behind....not showin off...." He's not a head case, seems to be a good team player. Doesn't take plays off. Still refining his game. Low cost for this season. Probably beats out anyone else we have behind him in the rotation. Trent Murphy is an injury machine, if he and Hughes went down we'd really need the Shaq to step it up.

Slants are timing based. More footwork based than anything. I remember a few being behind, but also remember Baker Mayfield missing some wide open slants as well. I think (and hope) its simply rookie growing pains, and improving is mostly a function of reps and more reps.

Yeah i saw a handful of his pulls. Seems very quick and picked the right target. He'll be a solid addition for sure.

McD has always said he adjusts his Dline rotation based on in-game analysis and how his line is handling their matchups. If Ed is consistently winning and doesnt seem gassed you can expect him to stay in. He does that with Jerry when he gets hot. Remember that Kyle and Star are older dudes carrying more weight. If Ed plays like we hope he will, there isn't a sub-package I can think of that wouldn't include that guy. Penetrating 3 techs are great vs run, pass, short yardage, goal line, 3rd and longs etc

All four receivers get separation. Did you see anyone cover Foster since week 10 last year? Nope. Put up elite numbers. Beasley gets crazy open, and Zay/Brown are both good players. Daboll wanted a blue chip Oline, a good TE and an elusive young back. He knows our WR's are good.

Yeah i agree. Almost nobody gets around the edge in the pros. Its all about the quickness, vision and decison making. He looks fun this kid. I like fun.

i can't believe I'm commenting on another mock. I need a life. Anyway watch for a trade down that nabs Risner and Dexter Lawrence.

dude be careful i got nuked here once by the mods for a political reference. they're very sensitive peeps those boys............

I think Oliver drops and Hock is there too at 9. Oliver has to be higher on the board, but we need both positions and both guys should be fine pro's. I say Hock.

He is for me. The ball literally jumps off his foot and goes instantly higher than seems possible. I don't know if it's even possible to block a FG with this cat. I'm still amazed at how far down the pecking order kickers go as far as draft, scouting etc. Browns win their division last year with Justin Tucker on their team. Awful kicking cost them at least two wins from the first 3 games and another mid season. If I was a billionaire owner I'd have a $5M bounty out worldwide to find the best kicker. Contests, tryouts and prizes from Brazil to South Africa, Russia to Australia. It's a simple thing to set up, doesn't require any analysis or guesswork, it's all math (adjusted for temp and elevations of course). All the money spent on developing a good team and guys like Justin Tucker go UNDRAFTED. Biggest impact player on the team next to QB and nobody even talks about em. Would not happen on my watch.

i dont even know what this post was trying to say, but someone please end it. two more days to the draft, and we've officially bottomed out
