  1. I've hoped that for a long time now. I don't think there's much to see here. Sadly. I'd love to be proven wrong by the guy, though.
  2. Glad to hear the news, hope you keep improving!
  3. 10 years from now, they are going to be talking about him being the guy of this draft, the undisputed best pick. Just like they did 10 years after Luke was picked. You remember, we picked who? A linebacker at number 9? Who throws away a pick on a linebacker that high? He's not even a pass rusher??? If Dan Morgan has the opportunity and doesn't take Warren with our pick, he's a fool. All the other positional players still available at our current pick (and even some who will be taken before, like QB) are one of a group of folks among the best, part of a cluster, some slightly better than the rest. At TE you have Tyler, very much way out in front for his position group AND way out in front among all the players in the draft. There are no medical dings, no personality dings, no intelligence dings, no coaching dings, no legal dings. Grab the guy and move on. The hard, difficult choices follow in the second and later rounds, save the homework for those picks.
  4. I mean, really, yeah. We've got two 1,000 yd rushers on the team, plus re-signed a KR specialist and have a second round pick who will probably be on injured reserve. That's a lot of guys for a 53-man roster right there.
  5. If he's still there, run to the podium and take Tyler Warren. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this guy is going to be the next best TE to play the game. He would make an immediate impact on our success rate in every single game, every single offensive snap. This is also a deep defensive draft and we can grab some good guys in the second and later rounds. There is also a second wave of free agency yet to come and a third when camp starts to shake itself out. Grab Warren who will be a standout player for years to come, rather than risking it on a DE/Edge that looks and performs like a Brian Burns, potentially dynamic but ultimately just decent.
  6. CBS did a 60 Minutes episode on it a few years back, it was really enlightening.
  7. We need Samoan players. Honestly, the football programs these kids grow up in in American Samoa, led and financed by a number of former NFL players, is just amazing. Really is turning out some of the best prospects from anywhere in the US and it's territories. Generally they are great young men with a lot of knowledge of the game. American Samoa probably produces for pro football players per square mile of any place in the world.
  8. You've hit the nail on the head with this. I always thought Teddy got a raw deal and should have been around for a second season here at the very least. If you keep playing musical chairs when you ought to be playing football, then you're going to lose more and more games as the team goes from being frayed around the edges to just a pile of useless strings. Let's hope we can hold this together for a bit longer and let things gel a bit more. Give Canales a chance to actually create a culture and renew our identity. Edit to add: And if anything was learned from last year it's that good young QBs sometimes take some time to grow into their roles. And maybe some adversity is good for them. Let's keep Bryce upright and on the field.
  9. Ian Thomas has a very specific talent and anyone who has worked in the corporate world has seen it: He's an unseen survivor -- that lower end management guy who just goes meeting to meeting, coffee mug in hand, takes some notes, says little and hangs on through re-org after re-org, survives every downsizing and somehow just keeps stays on the payroll. Dude certainly hasn't had a Hall of Fame career, but he's hopefully generated a generational changing wealth for his family. Good luck to him in Las Vegas, may he get five more years there.
