its actually wild how night and day Canales is compared to Frank. Frank was a fuging zombie man, just felt like he never gave a fug.

Very Seifert-esque.  Stoic one might say.  Or weekend at bernies, as I used to call him.

I thought Blackshear looked pretty good when given the ball. Surprisingly. 

If this OL is actually good, we aren’t gonna be but so horrible. 

I agree.  I think he's a better ball carrier than Sanders.  Decent vision and quickness for a 3rd guy.

I think Sanders played hurt last year. He was rehabbing his groin I believe before the season started. Regardless he has shown to be capable with a good OL like he had with the Eagles. If he is RB3 we might be ok there. Providing Brooks is contributing decent snaps this year.

I don't know.  I hope you're right.  In retrospect I think even my fat ass could have put up a couple hundred yards behind that Philly line.  They were absolute maulers in the run game.

That's why i'm not hyped on Brooks, seems like that same kinda finesse rb behind the texas line. I prefer punishers, wear the d-line down with punishment, not dancing around and finding a hole

I didn't pay too much attention to Brooks in college.  He wasn't a tackle breaker?

If he's skilled it won't matter what style he is IMO.  I never watched him play in college so I can't say.  Not really familiar with Texas as I only loosely follow college football.  I basically just watched all the Washington games last year lol.

Punishing backs reach retirement age around 27, so I'm not too upset if he can dance his way to thousands of yards.  As much as people hate him now, DeAngelo Williams was panned as a bad pick because of all the mileage in college.  But he had a very good, long productive career.

He can break some tackles but generally seems like he had wide open lanes to get momentum, I don't really see beast mode/Stewart level or anything

A lot of it looks effortless but that's a quick dude.  Everyone's quicker in the NFL so we'll see how it translates, but he is literally smoking everyone in those clips.

Thanks. It’s hard to knock him for it though. If there is a big hole you should take it. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to more tight spaces in the NFL.

yeah he's smooth but not much tape on adversity straight up punishing people

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
