I hope he works out long-term at LT but positional versatility was why I thought he was the safest OL in the draft last year. If he doesn't work out at LT he can potentially play pretty much anywhere along the OL.

Meanwhile, Minshew continues to look like the far more polished QB and the better option for the Colts to start out with while working Richardson in with some wildcat type plays. Richardson was 6/17 tonight, Minshew was 9/11.

Nobody cares enough about scar to even bother with talking trash.

I guess that feels like dealing an insult to you?

I stumped so fuging hard for Sam Howell. So. Fuging. Hard.

Pete Carroll sits down and explains the thought process behind "that play" with Richard Sherman.

David Newton is trash but not gonna lie, Ickey has looked concerning this preseason. Dudes are just blowing right by him practically untouched.

Front porch is done except for the front steps I rebuilt. I'll let that new pressure treated wood dry out for a few weeks before staining it.

I've been extremely curious how we'll ultimately use Chinn. I don't think they're really showing their cards too much on that one in preseason.

Trex runs close to triple the cost but doesn't require painting or staining so you save on the back end. Word of warning, that poo gets HOT in the sun. If I was considering Trex I'd just make the leap all the way to Ipe. I'd love to do Ipe but I have nearly 1200 square feet of porch and deck. It would be brutally expensive for me even doing all the work myself. I'd be looking at close to $20k in lumber cost.

Lance for Corral. Straight up. They're ready to give up on Lance. We're ready to give up on Corral.

Lance for Corral. Straight up.

Maybe we could get a conditional late rounder from a team that had a decent draft grade on him. I honestly can't see him bringing anything more than that and I'm not sure anyone would offer anything. He's looked terrible. Can't really sugarcoat it.

$41k...oh wee mayne. I'm glad I do all my own work. Anything I can't do my dad can. Well, rather he can coach me through it while he talks about how much better he could've done it. I'll be into this project about $800. I think the porch and patio with fireplace out in CO ran be about $4k.

At first glance I thought that OSB was brick and was like what in the hell is going on here?

Yep. Anytime you're trying to project talent to the next level of competition it's gonna be a crap shoot. A lot of 4 and 5 star recruits bust in college while a lot of afterthought recruits become All-Conference and All-Americans. A lot of high draft picks bust in the NFL while a lot of mid to late round draft picks and even UDFAs become good pros. It's always been the case and it'll always be the case.

The most annoying thing about Florio for me is that he always feels like he's auditioning to be the President of the NFLPA. Yeah, we get it. You were labor lawyer. We don't care.

I was fine with Bryce, Stroud, or Richardson. I was most intrigued by Richardson though. Maybe it's just because of the success we had with Cam. I don't know. I could just most easily translate his talent to the NFL. With Bryce you're HEAVILY relying on him being the smartest guy on the field. Hopefully he is.

I'd deal with triple digits before dealing with NYC and I hate heat. But I hate big cities a lot more.

Oof. This is not encouraging.

What if we had done that but then Reich and company still wanted "their guy" then Howell was way outplaying Bryce? Oh wee mayne. What a poo show that would be.

Yeah, that's brutal. My business partner lives in College Station and he sent me this on Sunday when I was bitching to him about the "heat".

Pretty standard for preseason. You talk about what there is to talk about.

Meanwhile, Chris Simms on Sam Howell...

He's not exactly wrong. Now with that said, there's a very small sample size and the OL has been atrocious. So I'm not exactly panicking yet but I also haven't seen anything to get excited about yet either. So yeah, I get where he's coming from here.
