  1. Yeah that's why Cody and Dustin were the best match, I legit cried when Cody said to him "I need my big brother." The Young Bucks are basically spot monkeys, to me. I feel that there's room for one of these matches on a big PPV card where they just go crazy and wow you with acrobatics. Think WCW's cruiserweight division back in the day. Wrestling should be a variety show with a little bit of everything. The Young Bucks do some fun spotfests but a lot of the time it won't have flawless psychology. They won't take the time to sell moves long enough to give them maximum impact for the audience, and it turns into crazy spot KICKOUT! Crazy spot KICKOUT! Crazy spot KICKOUT! But again I feel it's great fun to have one of those on a card. Omega can do a lot of different stuff but is also a master storyteller, as I see it. The matches with Okada I referenced were usually ~60 minute marathons where they did big moves but also took the time to sell and tell a proper story-- really great matches all-around.
  2. Double or Nothing kicked butt! Cody and Dustin Rhodes tore it down. Kenny Omega is my favorite of the bunch-- the stuff I saw of him in New Japan were some of the best wrestling matches I've ever seen. Jaw dropping I can't believe what I'm watching kind of stuff! Particularly his matches with Okada if you ever get the chance. I'm excited for there to be another major promotion on TV again and for the country to get to know these guys.
  3. You're the one labeling them "negative." Why are you such a pessimist? They're simply discussing the team.
  4. Oh right on, on my phone it looked different but on my desktop they all look the same.
  5. Why are some names in bold? I would have Julian Stanford as a blue.
  6. Rodak says it's a 2-year, $21.5M deal but the cap numbers he gives for those 2 years are $9.5M and $9.45M, totaling just under $19M. Does anyone know how that works? Are there ways to pay guys without it ever counting against the cap? Great deal for the team in any case.
  7. You do bring up an interesting point. Despite the huge contract to Lotulelei and the 3rd rounder on Phillips, the Bills still don't have a high-end 1-tech. That spot is going to have to be invested in again in a year or two when Star is cut, and we eat some dead cap.
  8. Yeah man that's why I drove down there a few weeks back to get in before it moved like that. I learned during last season some of these lines that look juicy disappear real quick. If you go to the Draftkings sportsbook in the Resorts Casino, you can still get over 6.5 wins at -134, meaning you lay $134 to win $100 is the ratio you're getting. You also can bet the Bills to make the playoffs at +325 (you lay $100 to win $325) or Ed Oliver to win DROY at +1200.
  9. I took a drive to AC a couple weeks ago and got in at over 6.5 -110 for a grand. S'go
  10. I drove to AC and got in on this a couple weeks ago. Go Bills
  11. Watch Ducasse get cut for an undrafted rookie
  12. They've certainly made a point in making sure they bring all kinds of alternatives. Dion better bring it at camp.
  13. Exactly where I am, it's nice he gets to learn from Shady and Gore but not a huge learning curve at RB anyway, that pick isn't moving the needle for me either way but I think we killed it otherwise.
  14. I listen to his Stick to Football podcast and he's been talking up Knox for months, even mentioned him possibly going end of the 1st at one point. I'm super excited about the Oliver, Ford and Knox picks
  15. Are we sure Ford can't move to LT one day, a year or two from now?
  16. And your boy Tytus Howard went 1st round!
  17. I listen to Chris Simms regularly because his understanding of the game goes way beyond most fans...he's really good at watching the film and letting you know what's really happening and I learn quite a lot. A line he always throws out there when talking about DK is "damn, sometimes I wondered if their coaching staff was trying to lose the game. It's like they don't know DK Metcalf and AJ Brown are their best players." He also takes issue with their QB from the tape. I've seen Yolo here on The Wall talk about how you have to be careful with production with college wide receivers because it's a dependent position- the system, playcalls, quarterback and O-line need to do their job for WRs to have a chance. It might be the most dependent position and therefore is the position most requiring CONTEXT in an evaluation rather than just statsheet scouting. It really takes grinding the tape (which I myself do not do) to get a true picture. Lastly, we might want to keep in mind that DK was 20 years old this season. Awhile back someone posted comparisons of DK's production at age 19 and 20 compared to Julio Jones (I think he was included), along with other WRs, at that same young age...and lo and behold, in this context Metcalf's production actually stacked right up. A lot of college players are a good deal older than that, for example Robert Foster is a year out and turns 25 in 2 weeks. With his size and not only speed but crazy acceleration, along with nuanced technique to beat press, he can be a nightmare for CBs. The Bills don't have anyone like that. And not every WR wins the same way...Mike Evans doesn't have to run whip routes and triple breaks. Neither does DK
