In The Year 2005


Jakob

Recommended Posts

Lets time travel back to the year 2005 in an alternate universe, Sione Fua is a 18 year old highschooler. He is such an amazing Offensive Tackle the LA times writes an article about him. Not only is this comedy gold, it makes me wonder why Fua ever became a DT.

At the end of his heavyweight wrestling matches, Sione Fua of Encino Crespi comes under siege.

At least five of his smaller teammates jump on his back in a futile attempt to take him down.

because he insisted on playing defense.

Good corner eh? Maybe he could replace Josh Thomas.

Kirk Morrison was on Fox Sports radio last night talking about how Stanford guys have a pretty widely reputation around the league as being known as soft that I thought was amusing and perhaps telling.

 

 

Also, without any reason whatsoever for doing so, mentioned that Steve Smith is known around the league as "the O.G." of toughness and trash talk in league circles.

 

It's a shame media types who have no idea what they're looking at 75% of the time vote on something as important as Hall of Fame inductees. If it were up to the people that knew Smitty would be a lock. I've never seen a player get as much respect around the league as Smith does.

What's the point in doing something you hate just because you're good at it when you're a kid?  I was a phenomenal swimmer when I was a teenager but had absolutely zero interest in doing it competitively.. had a blast being a mediocre football player instead.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
