Sam Darnold ,makes the pro bowl

I see 11, 12 wins. Yes. That is what I see because I just typed it.

With a name like Mr Scot, we all assumed you were.

Any one else find yourself wondering if this guy is wearing pants? I am impressed that a Brit knows so much about American football. Hats off to him--pants back on, however. I have standards.

I will be honest--I do not pretend to know what we need on defense any more. I used to be able to say, "Boy, we need a DT"---and then I went to HurnMart and got me McClain and Fua on the grab rack. I used to say, "We need a free safety," then Amahurn sent me Hakuri Nakamura, an order that took 30 days to arrive. These days, with the hybrids and the 3-3-5 and big nickel and stuff--I have no idea.

Not on your watch, huh Trainwreck?

Good one, but we should probably not say the same thing when we sign Deonta Brown. (chew, chew...) I am on fire.

or what if he hid a drone remote and had a drone fly across the field with plastic HORN blasting jazz into the crowd while he breaks it down on the Fleur de lis at the 50. Boom/

This guy will earn the love on offense that Chinn earned on defense.

Does she have a hang nail? Seriously? Deal breaker.

Always liked Saleh. Not because I agree with him, but because I think he is honest and ethical when I dont

Seattle-GB trade--

he has always been one, according to members of his own family.

This is likely to change, but we know this: Paradis is in his final year. Is Robby Anderson? Will be hard to negotiate if we have Moore, Marshall, and maybe even Shi balling. Will the LT spot be settled? Will Christensen and his TRex arms be moved to LG? Will that send Elf to C, where he has not played as well? Pass rush will be a need every year. QB--even if Darnold plays well, we need a quality backup at some point. CB--I do not see us tagging or - re-signing Jackson. So if the LT experiment fails and Christensen moves inside, LT again is our priority--not necessarily a bad thing--because C.Brown at RG, Moton at RT, and Christensen at LG is pretty impressive--especially if we have a C.

Fua is a heartless bastid who probably was not held as a child.

One other point---balance and footwork are more important, in my opinion, that arm length if the T is quick to recognize the move, he will be able to engage. It is sorta like boxing, where the long armed guys try to use that as an advantage, but the shorter armed guys know how to negate that advantage. Yes, the longer armed T has the advantage, but not if he bends or can't keep his feet in the proper position.

arm length is an important issue but so is hand placement and strength. A lack of arm length can cause lunging (waist bending) but a good overall athlete can negate it. Look, football is a great game because you use strengths to attack weaknesses while your weakness are being attacked by strengths. I do not expect a learning curve of less than one year for BC, but if he is better than Irving, go with him. Use Tremble to chip; make sure he and the LG eat sleep and study together.

I never watched Thrones--had to google it. I am actually a Neurotic, the name of the boy band I used to be in between 1983-1983. I had a frontal mullet and handlebar mustache, if that helps. Went by the stage name, "Lugnuts."

If he has been weighed, measured, assessed, etc. then why keep him? Keeping him eliminates someone else.

And if you mention a player dropping due to medicals, explain them.

He admitted that he did not do due diligence here. He needs to slow down, do his homework, and refrain from stereotyping. Loved his enthusiasm, but he was slurring over details---had too much to say.

I pay my debts.

IF any CB goes to S, it will be Pride.

People who are lazy and given everything based on size or god-given talent really dont get the concept of working for it. Making the team is one thing, but knowing your teammate has the motor to dig deep into the parts of his mind and body he did not know existed and pull effort from that vault and take that extra step, extra effort, extra push--lazy people are not getting there. Based on the fact that it is true, I have worked with several players who had a ton of talent, and they are great until that talent level is equaled. Then, they become average, and the only way to rise above mediocrity is to work harder than others. Yet there are some who reached mediocrity by busting their asses, and they will never be great. I go to war with those guys if it is my choice. As much as I hate to call him out, I used to get into TA McClendon's ear every day in high school. He would come to practice in street clothes--a headache one day, sore hamstring the next---he was LAZY but could dominate being lazy-so he did. He later told me that he was working hard at NC State, but he admitted that he was not going to classes his last semester because he was going pro early. He was not drafted--shocked by that, actually, because people had always given him what he wanted and praised him--except me. So he was always trying to get me to understand him, instead of him understanding what I was telling him. He was an undrafted free agent, took the $40K bonus or whatever it was, and a bunch of his street buddies went to Atlanta for OTAs. They partied all night, TA was sleeping during film sessions, and lasted a week. An assistant coach for Atlanta told a friend of mine that he had never seen a lazier player---you can't win with lazy. Greg is better than that, I hope, and all people are different, but how many lazy people do you know who suddenly because ambitious?
