Pejorative Miscreant

clear to the belly

Defense gets a rest from the "body blows".

Inflection point?

Nice one. Funch. A few more and maybe you redeem yourself

Hope the guy is ok but Olson just snot bubbled that guy.

New set of downs. Nice. Olsen making noise

I think the troll part of we is butt hurt.

I want young Master Winston to see the aforementioned demonstrative moves this Sunday. Leadership factor alone almost makes the pick up a win IMO.

agreed. Only caveat is that the coaching staff was indecisive on whether TD was a Safety or LB (my recollection and may be wrong). I think this may have initially slowed TDs learning curve a bit. Sounds like RR is firm in Shaqs role as a LB which should help.

I think the RB rotation will be key, especially early on if the OL needs a little more time to gel. If a strong running game cAn be established early on this team could really make some noise.

4 out of 5 picks seem to already be entrenching themselves as solid contributors on my he roster. Hope Mayo comes around but it still looks like this is shaping up to be a great draft class.

your post has been very helpful. I had every intention of making some sort of ball joke here but took a moment and realized I am so fugging tire of Tom Brady crap now that football is finally here. Pie to you!

Healthy QBs with full seasons of work do, from time to time throw picks. In games and also in practice. This could be for a number of reasons. Perhaps he got the play wrong, perhaps the receiver got the play wrong, perhaps the defensive guy did his job, read the play and jumped the route. Practice is a good time to get these things situated.

I'm not going to panic yet. It's the first day in pads. I do think the team will be watching closely when the first round of cuts are made.

I have tempered expectations for Shaq, at least in the early going. I think he will be good and consistent enough to supplant Klein as a starter for the opening week but really don't expect to consistently see the wow factor until the middle of the season or so. I think he will flash but do think there be a learning curve for both him and the coaching staff. This is not a knock on him, I am really glad he was our pick and think he is a future pro bowler. I just think it's going to take some time for him to naturally fit in and reach his true potential.

I know it's been said before but it's great to look at this lineup and see what coaching and scouting does. Remmers, Norwell and Colin Jones all starters (I know it's only day one of camp, but still) on this team says a lot. I don't expect the starters to shift too much except for maybe RT, WLB and Bene making a push once healthy although there may be a surprise here or there. I do think some of the depth battles will be intriguing as it's likely that guys like Cotchery, Bersin White, etc... are battling for a roster spot.

I hate to be blunt, but every team needs a token arrest before the off season goes up in smoke.

If I'm not mistaken Gettleman had $0.00 invested in Martin as it was discussed ad nauseam upon his initial signing. So what if he took a flyer on the guy and it did not work out. Hope Martin has a good retirement.

I went to State, liked what he did there and understood why he left. Now he plays for the Seagulls + seems like a douchebag = I hate his face too.

If I looked back on my kids childhood and somehow conclude that their shortcomings in life are due to participation trophies from pee wee soccer then I am a big fugging asshole parent. Imo there is some merit to the "participation trophy" metaphor as I do think too many parents reward kids for stupid stuff these days and kids get away with too much crap but I can only fix and control that which is under my roof.

I think it's possible to revirginate yourself if you try really hard

​Would have brought him in last year as a DE but thought doing so would destroy Bell's confidence.

There are no cup holders. Pass

Great post and excellent commentary on why the Huddle is such a great forum. OP has more in depth analysis and rationale on football than BR will have on its entire site in July.

It's funny everyone is pooing on the OL now. We have very short memories. Last year thebOL was a sucky patchwork group of misfits. IMO Oher my be less than average this year but he will be better than Bell. That and our depth is much better with a lot of young talent. . OL might not be good but will not be as bad as last.
