Biggest concert “miss”, biggest concert “letdown”?
Bill from NYC replied to 4_kidd_4's topic in Off the Wall Archives
It can be if you luck out and the weather is good. I once saw CSN there and it was freaking pouring!!! Another time I saw Furthur and sat in the expensive seats and it was one of the best shows that I ever attended. We saw Sting, Lynard Skynard and many other bands there and it is a good venue, weather permitting. We have tickets for Alanis in July that cost a lot of money. The truth is, I don't want to go. Would you? I can't imagine sitting next to unknown people who are infected with who knows what. It is one thing to do it at work. This s%^$t is very confusing. -
Defensive Backs in Top 10 of Round 1
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why is it that you see fit to be so condescending? Does it make you feel better about yourself? I hope that you are happier and more satisfied in life than you appear to be in this thread. Stay healthy and God bless. -
Defensive Backs in Top 10 of Round 1

Did you see the Super Bowl that the Rams won? Pace pretty much took over the very close game. Warner was good but imo it would be a huge mistake to think that not having to worry about his blind side did not have a drastic positive effect on his play. I do however think that I get why you are trying to say. I don't think that any one person was totally responsible for the success of a franchise. This would not be possible. Were the players that I mentioned instrumental in making their teams much better? Absolutely. -

I always thought it would be fun to see James Taylor. We saw him at Jones Beach 2 or 3 years ago and he was simply awful. His performance was lackluster and he even told boring stories between songs. We left halfway through the show. -

Von Miller Orlando Pace Larry Fitzgerald Bruce Smith Earl Campbell Jonathan Ogden These guys were pretty important to their teams to name a few. -

Thanks for the football dialogue but please spare me your emotional guidance and worry about improving your own rather boring drivel. -
Defensive Backs in Top 10 of Round 1
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah and they didn't do so well at it. They also seemed to emphasize DT over pass rushers. And of course, teams have to be able to evaluate players. We should know after decades of incompetence. -

Defensive Backs in Top 10 of Round 1
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Doesn't it depend on the team. I am guessing not at #3 when your team is filled with holes and there are great players out there. What do you think? Btw, is there any situation where it is too early or ill advised to draft a DB. Should teams trade up to #1 to take them? -
Defensive Backs in Top 10 of Round 1
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I love conversations like this. Unless I was running to a men's room, I am thinking that I watched every play Of Wills' college career. He is very good and steady but he seemed to lose concentration and have a lot of penalties called on him. It would drive Saban nuts. He is not what jumps out at me in terms of a top 5 or even 10 OT. Now we are getting into Orlando Pace territory. From what I saw, Thomas appears to be noticeably stronger. I am THE Crimson Tide Fan but agreed with Gettleman's choice. I hope I'm wrong because Wills was a very good player and I appreciate what he did for Bama. -

I suppose that I would have taken Andrew Thomas. He shows signs of true greatness and could protect your QB and open up the run for many years. I am NOT saying that the corner isn't good, or even great. I don't know. What I do know that a trip on the defensive back merry go-round where you draft them early, lose them, and draft another one is a proven, guaranteed method to lose. I have seen it too many times. -

My GF is a huge Giant Fan and converted Crimson Tide Fan who even watches Bama games with me. When it was the Giants turn to pick, I told her that they should draft Andrew Thomas (and it was fun to look smart ). She wanted Jeudy because she saw him play all season. Thomas is a beast and will protect their rookie QB. They probably could have traded back and drafted Jeudy but at least they went in the right direction. There is probably a 90% chance. -

I find it amazing that the same teams seem to just continue their senseless, losing ways. These owners are rich beyond imagination. Are all of them actual billionaires? How they got to be just so wealthy when they can't see their way past these dumb, easy to correct mistakes is beyond me. -

I am a huge fan of Tua but either way, taking a chance on a qb who might be great does make sense. The owner will make a TON of money if Tua pans out too so yeah, I can relate to the move but a corner at #3? Yikes! -
I was not surprised to see the Jaguars and the Lions draft Top 10 first round DBs. Why not? Because one can make a case that these particular teams are long time second rate organizations. Their drafts are every bit as bad as ours in the "bad old days" or so it would seem. The Lions were just so bad that they picked at #3. Could one even imagine how many problems they had to pick so early? They have a QB with a monster arm and there were receivers galore. They probably could have traded down and selected Lamb, Ruggs or Jeudy AND acquired extra picks but no; they really had to take that corner at #3. There were very good blockers available, and they could have even taken a QB to eventually replace Stafford. Incredible. The Jags are another team that historically drafts poorly. They have issues galore. Their method of fixing said issues? A DB at #9. While unquestionably stupid, it was not quite on the same level of idiocy displayed by the ever horrible Lions, who would even appear to be tanking for Trevor. I am on record as being skeptical of the trade for Diggs, but it looks wonderful compared to the above decisions. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AJ had a better OL, maybe the best ever, AND a much better defense that the 2019 Crimson Tide. Nothing to see here. Because the Dolphins didn't draft him.

Who is your surprising Round 1 Pick
Bill from NYC replied to RyanC883's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That WOULD be a surprise to me. There were several times in his career that he just didn't produce against the better defenses, although he did come through at other times as well. Jalen is a very good runner but he isn't a speedster. He is more of a strong runner which is somewhat uncommon for a qb. He can throw deep but he needs to step into throws more than many quarterbacks, and he isn't known for his fastball. Jalen played on teams with great offensive weapons. At Alabama, he had more defensive help than Tua had last year. I am also of the opinion that he didn't face any real defensive competition at Oklahoma. He is a smart, confident young man. I think that he would do well to play as a backup to a quarterback that is not particularly mobile for a nice change of pace. I wish him well and am quite thankful to him for the way he handled himself after being benched. I can only imagine how tough on him it was. He (and the players) had to know it was coming. He even played very poorly in the "A" Game and it sealed his fate. I hope he DOES get drafted early, makes a ton of money, and has a great career. Do I view him as a first round QB? No, I do not. Jmro. -
Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind, If I had to choose between the deaf man and the blind. I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me, I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea.
