Despite everything going Duke's way (except for Flagg picking up three idiotic fouls) it's a one point game at half.

Hopefully near vet min. He's a decent TE3, subpar TE2.

That is fuging insane. They couldn't shoot any better if we left the court. Hell, they'd probably have less points because they couldn't go to the FT line. Well, it is duke so the refs would probably call fouls on air anyway. LOL

Of course duke can't miss tonight and if they do they get sent to the FT line where they also can't miss. LOL

Bruh... we sayin' the same thing. I ain't disagreeing. LOL

This would be my assumption. He's probably not gonna be there and we're gonna take him if he is so use the limited formals on other prospects.

Seems like somebody posted a graphic of teams with the most arrests recently and KC was lapping the field.

That's what I'm saying. They fully wanted to make Russ the star but at the time Beastmode was the offensive star of that team in the eyes of the football world.

At this point he just needs to come out and tell the truth. Like "Listen, we thought we had it in the bag and we wanted to try to transfer the star power from Beastmode to Russ. Worst case scenario we figured it'd be an incompletion and then we give it back to Beastmode, but we knew he was getting long in the tooth and Russ was the future. It fuging backfired. Hugely. They'd seen it on tape, the DB jumped the route and the rest is history. It is what it is. I've regretted it every waking moment since." It's be a huge weight off his shoulders.

100%

Pete Carroll is the Coach K of football. I feel like he's looked the exact same for my entire life. It's like he was born 50 years old and then never aged.

Yeah, that moronic goal line SB play call aside, Pete Carroll is unarguably one helluva football coach.

They just released some key vets and seem to be in the process of trading Metcalf. Sure seems like they're just hitting the reset button. Signing Sam Darnold honestly doesn't make a lot of sense for them. My boy Sam Howell might be getting ready to get tossed into a raging dumpster fire. LOL

Two ways to look at it. Either the Raiders think that Ward and Sanders are gone by #6 or they've decided they don't want any part of the circus. And if the Raiders are bowing out of a circus? Wow. The wild thing will be if they still draft Sanders at #6 after the trade for Geno because you KNOW they Sanders camp will be pushing to be the day one starter. It'll be a proper poo show. LOL

Good move. He's a versatile IOL. That's easily worth $3.3M even if he's the primary IOL backup. Bryce finished out the season on a very strong note. Don't let the OL take a step back. Let's see if we can keep that ball rolling.

Well, I called that one. That's a sad end for them and that poor dog.

Is he better than our current guys? I'd say so. If so, it's worth a conversation at least. I hate to break it to some of y'all but we're not going to assemble a dynasty this off-season that takes the league by storm this coming season.

The problem we face right now is that the only sought after free agents that we're going to be able to land are the ones that we're willing to overpay. Just understand that going into any of these discussions.

Pretty much. Good size, good 40, seemingly everything else optional.

We keep drafting speed and trying to make WRs out of them. I think we need WRs not just guys who do well at the underwear Olympics.

I'm talking historically. We have historically paid the poo out of off the ball LBs and RBs specifically. I doubted Parsons' ability to be a dominant edge rusher in the NFL. I was wrong. Wasn't the first time and won't be the last. That's not what we're talking about here though. Parsons was drafted as an edge and became a dominant edge. Well done. He wasn't drafted to be an off the ball LB. I'll never be a huge fan of drafting guys high to play a different role in the NFL. No matter how you slice it, that's a tougher evaluation that ups the risk factor.

Dramatically overspending on lesser value positions has played a big role in why we have never consistently fielded good teams. Positional value exists for a reason.

Understandably so.

We have plenty of roster holes and opportunity for rookie contributions. Given that reality I don't think that we can afford to do anything but draft the guy who we think is the best talent on the board from our first pick to our last. Contenders with good overall rosters with a few weak spots can afford to go position hunting. Teams with Swiss cheese rosters just need to try to get the best possible talent infusion they can.

Injury issues usually don't clear up as you're closing in on 30. I'd be interested but he's probably going to get way overpaid based on past resume and name recognition. He's basically been relegated to a rotational type defender for the past three years and missed a lot of time due to injury. If the contract reflects that... okay. Sure. But if we're counting on him being anything more than a rotational player who is almost certainly going to miss some games then we're probably expecting too much. Not sure why he'd sign that type of contract with us though when he could likely get one from a legit contender.
