  1. Oh My Lord.... Morlocks are on the loose.
  2. So does The Athletic: GRADE: 3rd Round (#78 overall) STRENGTHS: Terrific lateral agility that gives defenders nightmares…sets up moves with widescreen vision and slippery athleticism (led the FBS with 113 broken tackles in 2018, 25 more than any other player)…outstanding instincts to sense developing lanes and dart between open spaces…patient ball carrier and won’t force things…natural balance with the core strength to keep his feet…not overpowering, but runs low and doesn’t gear down at contact, finishing strong…impressive 191.3 fumble rate (four career fumbles)…nice job on angle routes and catches passes thrown at him…nose for the end zone, ranking sixth all time in FBS history with 66 rushing touchdowns (five players ahead of him all played four years)…above-average production with three straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons, setting the school records for career rushing yards and all-purpose yards. WEAKNESSES: Lacks an ideal build for the position with limited growth potential…average power as an inside runner…tends to fatigue over four quarters and workload will be a question mark with his size…lacks ideal long-speed for the position…wasn’t asked to stay home and pass protect in college…receiving production declined over his career. SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Florida Atlantic, Singletary produced from the moment he stepped foot onto campus in Boca Raton, rewriting the Owls rushing records. His 54 rushing touchdowns the last two seasons was easily the best in college football over that span. Singletary runs with remarkable balance to elude in tight quarters, leading the FBS with 69.8 percent of his rushing yards in 2018 coming after initial contact. He is tougher than he looks, but his lack of body armor and questions about being a three-down player will be the main concerns for his next-level transition. Overall, Singletary is uniquely skilled at forcing missed tackles due to his lateral agility and ability to feel openings, projecting as a LeSean McCoy type of offensive weapon in the NFL.
  3. Don't think it's possible with his post count...
  4. LOL! This is the portion of the draft where there are more idiots on the board than knowledgeable fans...

  6. Don't let battling Bill Polian hear you....
  7. You realize that ESPN is making fun of DK right now, right?
  8. Great value. Still time to get a WR or TE later tonight...
  9. He's lucky to still have a job, so I doubt he fought hard for the guy he picked last year... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001028229/article/steve-keim-cardinals-fate-now-in-hands-of-kyler-murray "Harsh -- but fair, given Keim's recent struggles on and off the field. For as he attempts to shore up a roster full of rough patches, Keim's seat is hotter than a summer afternoon in the Valley of the Sun."
  10. New HC who's a bit of a dip**** wants his own guy. They're not even giving him a chance to compete for the job against a midget. So the smelly finger is on the Cards, not Rosen, IMO...
  11. This why I think its essential they package some of those 4th and 5th round picks to move up in the 2nd and 3rd...
  12. I can, given my familiarity with the Cincinnati fanbase...
  13. As usual with you...Bupkis! http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/11654158/manning-leaf-1998-draft "The next day, Jim Mora and I met and I said, "Where are you with the quarterbacks?" "I'm with Peyton," he said. "I'm the same way. If we believe in all the things that we both think are important for a winning football team, then it's Peyton." "Yeah, you're right." After that, I met with Jim Irsay. "What's your decision?" he said. "The decision is unanimous," I said. "It's Peyton."
  14. Yeah (if true)! This is exactly what I wanted to see. Pick #40 and #112 for the Colts #34.
  15. I'm with you. I liked Rosen as well. But something tells me the Fin's will **** him up more than even Arizona did--just because that's who they are, to paraphrase Dennis Green. Anyway, the AFC East will always be interesting. Which is as it should be...
  16. Compare the two DTs--the one walking through the door above and the guy a few posts back sneezing into his sleeve--and tell me which one looks more physically and mentally ready for the NFL....
  17. When 3-4 defenses came into wider popularity...
  18. I don't want to panic either. But they have the extra 4th and 5th round picks to package into a trade up(s). No sense going for quantity (all 10 picks) when trading 2-3 slots could get you a slightly better prospect in round 2 or 3...
  19. Sigh. I worry that Bill is showing some early signs of dementia or something like that. His getting the boot from ESPN, involvement with the AAF, etc. He seems to be going downhill even compared to Marv (who's still as sharp as a tack)...

  21. OP: Isn't that how talk radio works? Get the listener's all riled up and you get more calls. It's on page one of the radio consultant's playbook...
