Da webster guy

That would be it for me. The travel and the freakin bore of the game. Rain delays and living in hotels with 80 plus road games. In football you have 8 road games, and its an action packed sport. Baseball can be exciting, but damn the other 95% of the time I wanna take my own life watchin that sport zzzzzzzzzzz

Well, as buddy nix used to say, everybody overpays in free agency. Hard to believe we couldnt retain Woods for $8m and now guys with less talent are getting $12m

Well, he got ONE out of 32 correct (saquon to the Gmen) Interesting that he had Josh going first to the Browns and Tremaine going to daBears at 8. I posted this because I forgot how ridiculously off the mark every mock is, every year without fail. I think the only time I ever guessed right on the Bills was Dareus, and a lot of people saw that happening. Kiper may be a blowhard, but he's well connected and he has a 97% fail rate. Right in the meaty part of the curve.... https://www.espnsa.com/2018-nfl-mock-draft-2-0-mel-kipers-picks-1-32/

Haha I do love Hakeem Butler, but you're nuts if you think Tate or Williams will be as good as Foster next year. They started targeting him in week 10, and he lit it up with elite production. Got huge separation and caught everything. His average from week 10 on puts him at almost 1200 yards and 7 TD's annually on a very reasonable target number . Nobody could stay with the guy. Tate was sub 800 and Williams at 650. I say with Duke, Hakeem Butler, Zay and Foster you'll have some excellent options. Beane's not dumping money into another Jordan Matthews type guy just to have a name around.

Well, he played guard in college, was projected to be an NFL guard, started at RT but sort of got LT by default because of Cordy. Coaches have said they'll look at it, to me he's the perfect guard because of his freakish strength and anchor, which is why I'm betting that drafting a LT is happening 1st or second round. He's fast enough to pull too. Plus he can catch the rock, in case we need a backup TE or something woot woot. still my favorite play of the year....

Oh yeah this can only help us. Remember how much the QB fever ramps up with all the workouts, interviews and combine stuff. Even if he doesn't go top 10, it's still one more player we don't need that someone else will burn a high pick on.

Beaner traded twice in the first 15 rounds last year. I don't see him refusing a reasonable trade down at 9, I'm hoping for it. It seems like our management can pick defensive guys quite well, considering Taron and Levi look like excellent NFL players as rooks (did McD have anything to do with MIlano pick?) With that in mind I think you're going to see LT with the first pick. Dawk sliding to RT or RG depending on Teller and if we get Daryl Williams in FA etc. Dion was just too inconsistent last year and probably has a better guard style body anyway. He's a point of attack mauler, let's get him where he belongs. My personal prediction is that the film is showing WR as less of a need that we thought most of the year. Foster has elite numbers since week 10, Zay came around and we have Duke now who should compete for the 3rd spot with McKenzie etc. I do not see a high WR pick for us this draft. I think this is what Beane meant by saying drafting for need will set you back. TE, RB and big Linemen in picks 2 thru 5 (which may be 7 picks if we get another 2nd for a trade down)

Man there was a time we felt like johnny was looking like a pro bowl guard. Consistency is a huge thing tho, it's biting us a little with Dawk now too.

I agree 100% man. Solid center in FA, draft a LT and slide Dawk to guard or RT.

I see no reason for a team with Oaklands needs to move anywhere, unless they wanted to get a top qb prospect at 9. I think theyre going to get Quinnen williams or Josh Allen first, then trade a 1st rounder to Pitt for AB, and grab BPA with their last pick in the 1st round. And I see Gruden riding with Carr next year full steam ahead.

Yeah i wonder if Cinci fans talk about how much worse it was to pick Ross over Mahomes. At least we got a 1st round pick for our oversight, they got a receiver who has about 400 combined yards in 2 years. That's gotta hurt.

The thing I love about Foster the most is his size and body relative to his speed. He looks like he can take hits and be durable, and we all know how much it sucks having an injury prone stud WR. I've said this here before but one afternoon on the radio Tasker kept harping on how there are a million speed guys in college that can stretch the field, but they're relatively useless in the pro's because they can't go from a dead sprint to a stop for an out route or a stop-n-go. Said it's the rarest thing to be able to look like you're doing another fly route but then stop quickly. Puts a ton of strain on your legs and NFL corners will eat you up unless you do it well AND have the deep speed in the first place. He was raving about Foster having this quality, and this was like week 11 when he was just starting to gel with Josh. This is very exciting. He could be the next Moulds.

I know right? He's gonna die before the NFL does, I guarantee you that.

Im saying nfl rule, no media on the field after a game. Set up your cameras and interview stuff on the sidelines or wherever. Its a simple fix. Players come to you and keep the field off limits. It was out of hand. Brady just capped a superbowl and 90 seconds later he's yelling at reporters to stop pushing etc. Its so stupid. The point of this thread is to fix it, NFL, networks, whoever.

You guys probably saw the ridiculous scrum on the field after the game. Looked dangerous and completely unnecessary. Once again I have to offer my logic in the absence of a real commissioner, so here goes: No reporters or ANYONE not on a team allowed on the playing field after the game. It will be for players and coaches only. The camera's can still record all the action from the stands as usual, and let these poor athletes get a little while to enjoy themselves and celebrate with their teammates, shake hands with the other team, say a prayer at midfield, whatever. Keep the stupid reporters out of the way and safe, they'll get their time, it's just not immediately after the last second ticks off the clock. There is plenty of time to interview these guys after the melee is over, stay the hell out of the way. It's a dumb a tradition is almost as bad that stupid idea some GM came up with that they will call the college player they're drafting right exactly as they're making the pick so he has to be on the phone during the best minute of his life instead of celebrating with his family. Ridiculous. Brady handled it well, but it sucked for everyone and was hard to watch. Then this little 4 foot 10inch lady finally gets a second to ask her question, and instead of sticking the mic in his face and saying "Hows it feel Tom?" and then shutting her mouth, she launches into this 40 second question about some crap and history and being vindicated. He ignored it because it was stupid and he probably couldn't here it anyway, and went on with the exact thing he would have said if he just handed him the mic.

Yeah I agree, Wade had a good plan but Edelman seemed to be ridiculously wide open in every 3rd down. He had no answer for it except to keep playing more zone and it killed them.

Weird that kareem hunt and todd gurley were the two backs that we knew by midseason were taking their teams to the bowl, and both of them ended up non-factors. Overall a boring bowl and a ho hum post game. I rank this last of all the 40 superbowls i've watched. Zzzzzzzzzx

Croom played well from what I saw. Had a great learning year, had a few dozen targets and caught most of em, rose to the occassion when given the chance. He might very well beat out whoever we draft in training camp. Has good hands, good size, can run. He went undrafted more due to injury concerns than ability. Had some major ones and missed a lot of time back in school.

Integrity means honesty. So you're saying the refs were dishonest? Come on man, if you watch enough football (or any) you know there are tons of blown calls, or no calls every single game. It wasn't cheating or collusion, just a ref too scared to call what he saw for some reason. The Saints got screwed on that call, but every team gets screwed on no calls or phantom calls like the Minny P.I. call the Saints got in the playoffs.. The thing that gets me is the Saints got the ball back after that call, win the coin toss in OT at home against an average NFL defense and couldn't do anything with it. They punted and the Rams closed the deal when they got the ball. Had nothing to do with the refs at that point, just team vs team and the Saints lost the head-to-head. I was pulling for N.O. too but geez, taking billboards out in Atlanta and suing the league? really? That's ugly.

depends on the loss. If Josh hits that pass to Clay in Miami and they win, we probably pick like 15th instead of 9th, which might be the difference between a trade back and an extra second round pick. To me that's the perfect loss. Saw our rookies learn a lot, had some fun plays, but didn't close the deal. I knew we weren't in the hunt, it wasn't a home game, the loss doesn't hurt at all after an hour. As long as we have a playoff shot they hurt a lot worse. Interesting to think Miami won two games including that Buffalo one in the last second, the other on the New England razzle dazzle play with no time left. They'd be picking 5th instead of 13th and they need a QB. Keep that in mind on draft day. People that say losses are all bad just don't follow the game year round.... If Rex starts Tyrod instead of Cardale in that last Jets game we probably win and aren't in the position to trade back with KC at all the following year, maybe KC doesn't even get a shot at Mahomes and he goes somewhere else. Amazing how a single, seemingly insignificant loss changes the entire NFL for decades.

haha that's perfect. I call it 'Doin the Shanahan' It used to be called the Pete Carroll Superbowl Giveaway until Shanny decided to trump stinky Pete. I still feel so sorry for Arthur Blank he's such a nice guy, got to meet him once. He was standing there on the sidelines near the end of the game and the Falcs had 1st down on the NE 21 late in the game about to go up two scores and win the trophy, Freeman is foaming at the mouth (he ripped off a huge run on that final drive) the Pats are on their heels and dopey Shanahan decides to call a bunch of 7 step drops. You obviously know the rest. Sickening.

My brother lives in Covington, is a transplant fan down there, has Saints season tickets through his work. Refuses to go anymore because of the Aholes and he used to live in Philly if that says anything. He says if you wear Saints gear you're fine, if you happen to be there as a fan for another team expect to get pelted win or lose. Did say the family section there is fine but his experience has been vastly different than yours. I wasn't surprised at all that they sued the league and took out billboards in Atlanta because of a bad call.

He predicted Harrison Phillips last year. How many mocks accurately predict a 3rd round pick. Dude is really plugged in.

I hate that guy. If it weren't for Brees they'd be at the bottom of my list just above the Pats for whiniest fans and most annoying sports city.

Obviously he's going to say that because that's his goal. Seemed to get separation and isn't afraid to play the middle which I like. I think at this point Rivers is throwing the slowest ball in the league and Josh is throwing the fastest, so it would be hilarious to see his reaction the first time he catches a few from #17. Rivers reminds me exactly of Peyton in that last year when he won the superbowl with only 13 passes completed and had a total noodle arm. Wobbly, big arc. Easy to catch when they finally arrive. Amazing what a dozen plus years playing at high level learning all the nuances of the qb position can make up for when your skills diminish....
