I am considering adding a feature to the huddle for members who enjoy writing but want a way for the public to keep up with their articles in an easier fashion. 

Huddle blogs would be a separate section but work seamlessly with the huddle. You would have your own link with your articles like any other blog, but huddlers could read and comment without making a new account or such. We would feature the better blog posts on the main page and in the forum. If you are looking to build a name for your writings, the huddle would provide a boat load of traffic to it. 

It is an extra purchase for me, so I just wanted to gauge interest before investing. Please vote in the poll.

This is a hell of a concept. We have several people here that IMHO write better than most of the beat writers do to include Jeremy.

 

I think we can really make it worthwhile if we could select people like PhillyB, Mr Scott and a few others to dissect each game by position group much like we adopt players.

Say for example, somebody used to play O-Line or WR, while not an expert at that position necessarily it would work if they broke down a particular position group. I think this would be a better way to educate Huddlers and the common fan alike.

I'm all for this idea, and will even become All-Pro to help curb the cost.

This could really be some cutting edge stuff that can further set apart The Huddle from the rest of sports forums. Jeremy, you are a trail blazer bro. Glad to be apart of this, even though I suck for the most part.

while I realize that people like PU would be making blogs, I still think this would be a good idea. I like to post original game previews and it takes up more space than some huddlers want to read in a forum thread. a blog would give me the opportunity to post my write ups with the condition pre-set that it would be a long post.

I hope we do this Jeremy

Sure.  I'm ready to read all the crappy articles that Fairweather Joe puts out once Cam throws an interception, or CJ has under 8 sacks by the midway point of the season.

But for real though, yeah.  Even though you know there's inevitably going to be so many shitty articles it'll make Bleacher Report look like Grantland, there are at least a few intelligent and insightful posters who would make it worth while - assuming they post that is.

Give the minions a false sense of ownership.

Damm Igo, another good, on paper, idea. No resting on those laurels on your part. Very open minded, thinking of all angles, always looking for an edge, and all the while, never forgetting to allow the troops input type thinking of you.

 

That said. I would consider righting one of those blog thingys for you. You can count on me not to let you down. And would take the responsibility as serially as the position allows.

 

Also, I still am unable to purchase an ALL-Pro membership.

Funny, over the last year and a half I've written countless "articles" disguised as "comments" but deleted them because I figured no one wanted to read 3 paragraphs (or even 1) on what I was thinking. This would be awesome and I would jump at the opportunity. 

Really hope this comes to fruition.

    • I’ve rewatched it a few times. Impressive.   Rolls out about 5-6 steps, flicks his wrist, all arm, never even set his feet. Flick… All the way across the field from the 47 to the 24… perfect spiral… and dropped it in the bucket for Sanders. That had to of been 40 yards in the air? He looked so natural doing it.  All teams have that play in their book, but when run, it’s so ugly. Complete duck. Uncomfortable.  This guy is a weapon. There aren’t many non-QBs in the league make that throw and make it look so natural. He looked completely comfortable. I hope they draw up more plays for him like that. 
    • The information about knee pain is significant, and if true and depending on the extent, I have changed my approach to the Moton issue.  First, his performance has not dropped off but Moton has never been elite--he has been solid and dependable--maybe our best player over the past 5 years.  However, extending a big man with knee issues is VERY risky--the question is not "if" it is "when."  The "Left Tackle is more important that Right Tackle" argument is not valid any more.  Watt, Bosa, Crosby, etc. prefer rushing from the RT side--Bosa had this to say about rushing when he is not on the blind side:  "“When it’s right there, you don’t really even have to completely get off your block . You can kind of just reach over and knock it out sometimes.”  Getting a hand on the ball and stripping it is easier than getting off a block and tackling the QB, so the most destructive pass rushers in the NFL play defensive left tackle. Having said that, Moton is incredibly important, but extending him may seem risky--HOWEVER--most big men who have played OL in the NFL for a decade have knee soreness---I have not seen a major problem in his history: Week 17, 2024: Moton missed the Panthers' loss to Tampa Bay due to a knee issue. He didn't practice during the week and was considered doubtful for the game. Week 2, 2024: Moton experienced knee sorenes 2019: Moton had a questionable knee injury.  Is Brady Christensen good enough to start at RT in the NFL?  If not, I think the solution is to extend Moton with less guaranteed money and add a young RT through the draft or free agency.  Cade Mays' performance means that C is not something we MUST address, so a depth, developmental RT is smart.  Furthermore, we still have Nijman on the roster, and he played RT for Moton during the Tampa Bay game--he was not good, however. If you do not have a LT, RT, and a swing T who can hold his own in the NFL, your roster is not complete.      
    • I Never harped on the batted balls as much as his other concerns. The thing is qbs who can drive a ball with velocity tend throw it at a lower trajectory anyway so that leads to more bats. Bryce passes are more loft oriented so they have a high arc when leaving his hands. Those are just harder to bat.
