Yeah, the big appeal of LS engines is that they're everywhere and being everywhere they're cheap and parts are plentiful. Tons of aftermarket performance parts too, but for my application I don't need that. I'll keep it stock.

Don't need the torque and definitely don't want the accompanying weight. Even a small 3.9 Cummins is roughly twice the weight of an LS V8.

100% I love CMC, but honestly I'd never put big money into a RB. That's a draft 'em, not pay 'em position IMO. Most just have too short a shelf life in the NFL. Sure, there are exceptions but betting on exceptions usually isn't a smart play.

Look what happened to us in the SB when we faced a team with the talent and chips at DC to exploit the weakness on our OL. Beasley and the Falcons paved the way in week 16. Von Miller and company just took that baton and ran with it in the SB. Rivera and Shula just thought week 16 was a fluke. It wasn't.

Look at the Saints. The cap is only a problem if you have an idiot managing it.

I do. Coming out of college, Ferrell looked like a prototypical 4-3 DE prospect who could rush the passer, stop the run, and hold the edge. Clemson's history of disappointing edge prospects is impressive. It's beginning to rival the USC WR streak or the Big 10 RB streak. We fell victim to both of those with Colbert and Biakabutuka.

I wanted Sweat. I'm glad we drafted Burns.

I'd say when we drafted Cam and signed Derek Anderson that was a pretty significant upgrade from Clausen and company.

This is my old Jeep in one of it's iterations. It's a '97 TJ I've owned since '99. Next up will be full size axles. The LS swap is coming but that tired old engine keeps on ticking.

Also add Bradberry.

Tremble is the only guy on the list who IMO has a legit shot of securing a starting role minus injuries being a factor.

Yep. Same as it's always been. The longer you wait, the more you'll end up paying.

What are these updates? I'm strictly an offline franchise mode Madden player making me the lowest priority of customers. I didn't buy last year's version. I generally buy every third year or so unless there's a significant change that hooks me, not some bullshit graphics animation upgrade or anything to do with online features. Franchise mode upgrades though? Now you have my attention. That part of the game has felt neglected for years. Honestly, it's regressed from years past.

LOL! It's not you. It's just a term that's been hijacked by people who don't actually off-road but build an off-road vehicle (easily identified by largely useless modifications) and occasionally drive it down a dirt or gravel road.

We live in a society of litigation. There are way more attorneys than there should be work. Yeah, it won't be hard to find someone to take the case, meritless or not.

Oh goodness. Trigger warning for the old school offroaders.

I would've sold it. Then again, I'll never have a Jeep as a daily driver ever again. I prefer my Jeeps with rock rash and body damage.

Lane Johnson and the Eagles say "hi!".

Chinn's tackle numbers will likely go down simply due to a move to safety. I won't consider that a slump, but the media might because they're mostly dumb and cater almost entirely to the dumb.

Yeah. Rookie contracts are just a different matter. They're by far the best avenue of getting a premium talent for a bargain price and there's no real negotiation in the contract.

Agreed.

We sold our Yukon Denali in this market just because why not? After moving back to NC from CO, we didn't need two 4WD/AWD vehicles anymore. The 4Runner will hold onto it's value long-term much better and it's value is much less dependent on mileage than the Yukon. I still have my old Jeep to use as a secondary vehicle even though it's basically been a toy for a decade now. We figured we'd buy an Accord or something along those lines next year as a secondary vehicle then this Land Cruiser fell in our laps. My wife has always loved those '90s LCs and I'm always down for something cool like that. It'll be sitting on 37s soon. :evilgrin: Yeah, back to two 4x4s again, but whatever. Might pickup a cheap fuel efficient putt around next year. We'll see.

I'm getting a Land Cruiser. 1995 FJ80. A good family friend has owned it since new. Unfortunately, he's having to go I to assisted care. I made them an offer. Nowhere near what they could get for it if they listed it, but still a good chunk of change. More than I'd like to pay but it's worth way more on the open market and I've wanted an FJ80 for awhile now.

Parsons is probably a lock for DROY. One, he plays LB. Those guys usually transition well early. Two, he plays for the Cowboys and will have the media cradling his sack from day one. Three, he's a helluva talent. CB >>>> LB in terms of positional value, so I'm happy with our pick. But if I was making a bet on DROY, I'd bet Parsons.

The possibility of him being a one hit wonder combined with an odd salary cap year coming off a pandemic season is why no one was willing to bet big on him. The Cardinals played him out of position for three seasons. When they finally let him rush the passer instead of drop back he shined. He's an undersized pass rusher, he's not an off the ball LB. Rhule and Snow know him well having coaches him at Temple. I'm not worried about them having to figure out how to use him.
