Massive nerd! Welcome to the club. We own the world!

How many pages if Cook requests a trade?

Now that I can calm down about Spencer Brown's back, maybe we can take a break from training camp news and share a little about ourselves My hobby is fine woodworking. I grew up watching Norm on the New Yankee Workshop and just as he did over time I've gotten to be a solidly above average woodworker. I moslty make pieces of furniture and the occasional small box. I have also done some turning on the lathe as well. My favorite woodworker is Garrett Hack but I've found inspiration in many others. What is your favorite hobby?

Lol Cmon man I have all kinds of things to be upset about in life, Spencer Brown's back ain't one of them...

Awesome! Thanks for update! That is encouraging!

Horrible! Too young!

Just checking, but when are we allowed to freak out about Spencer Brown? He is still out and no word on him returning any time soon. I've been told to relax at least three times, but Brown is potentially the best player on the OL. He has h/o back issues. His availability and him playing at a high level are critical to this team's offense.

Did Wilkins kiss his knee?

I'm just trying to be realistic. Nothing would please me more than to see him succeed. It would be one of the great feel good stories of the NFL season.

I hope that is correct

I dont know about that. I havent read anything so far that said he was playing at a high level. I kept reading WRs like Coleman making plays against him and Bishop repeatedly. Again im not watching reps from training camp and if he wasn't good enough to take starters reps Im sure he wouldn't be with the #1 defense. Guys can come back from the injuries he has had. It would be a great comeback story if he can play at even an adequate level all year.

I'm not one to give McD or Beane too much credit, but its not fair to criticize him for thinking Davis was going to turn into a solid #2. Yes he had drop issues but after that KC playoff game almost everyone thought he was going to be a star. He was developing nicely into a big play WR despite having elite speed. He made some very difficult catches even if he dropped some easy one. He got Shakir probably a round later than when he was projected. Also the White injury and the failure of Daryl Williams to keep playing RT at a high level meant he had to spend additional draft capital on CB and OL.

Great news... Now the reality of White as a starter sinks in... Truly hope he regains some of his form and is at least not as bad as Douglas was last year.

Beane can't catch a break lately

He was on PUP list and probably won't be back to play any time soon Moss was nothing like Singletary. Moss is actually closer to Ray Davis. Davis looks better so far in his limited work last year. Davis while being bigger looks more elusive and faster than Moss ever was.
