  1. Troy Walters was OC at UCF the year they went 13-0. Then he went to Nebraska as OC where, you guessed it, Frank Stallone.
  2. In no particular order, a summary of all the ‘great’ moves the franchise ever made: Draft Dre Hire Kubiak Draft Watt Hire Ryans A sad & short list. But, better days ahead. Great fucking hire.
  3. The average NFL career is about 2.5 years and begins around age 24. He’s 38. So not super quick, but he’s young to be a HC. Rose up quick in the coaching ladder to be sure.
  4. Let the contract terms negotiation begin (?) (Please!)…
  5. Per Rapp the Texans were very impressed by his proposed staff.
  6. The more I hear and read about Jalen Carter (DL Georgia) the more I want to take him. Here’s what Pro Football Focus has to say: “Carter is neck and neck with Quinnen Williams for the best defensive tackle prospect we’ve graded at PFF (since 2014). Williams was a touch quicker, while Carter is a bit more powerful, but it’s darn close. Carter finished 2022 with a Power-Five-leading 92.3 overall grade.” Hiring a defensive coach and taking a monster at DT would be a very good combo. Then, take OL or WR at 12 and hire one of many free agent QBs on the market this season or use a later round draft pick on a guy like Tanner McKee or Max Duggan.
  7. Likely just to take the game today as serious as possible and they’ll get rescheduled, but this is (likely meaningless) news as far as this thread is concerned.
  8. Will be great to have him back in there, and he changed the way we looked early on with a confident and attacking style, but the way Nketiah and our midfield is playing right now without him was too much to hope for when Jesus went down. Nketiah coming on STRONG. What an ending. Ripped their hearts out. Looked like they had the momentum right before that attack, as well. Could’ve put one away in 89’ too.
  9. Props to O for going in and being coachable and getting into their system there. Big compliment for your name to be coming up like this, and it’s coming up a lot right now all over. 🤘
  10. Please someone, and Indy I’m looking in your general direction, mortgage your future to trade over us in a draft where there’s no consensus game breakers…
  11. This is one of those games where consensus says it’s the favorite by a mile but all the variables are there for the underdog. SF’s success has come defending the run, especially in second half. With Zeke and Pollard, Dallas can get this done, and using a solid RB passing game to augment it. Flip the sides and you gotta stop CMC (unsure if Dallas has what it takes here but recent improvements show promise) and put it on Purdy. I think Purdy is good but all his success has come hand in hand with CMC putting in big work. Very winnable.
  12. I was a Senior. Made the repeat L.A. road trip for the repeat Rose Bowl. My favorite stadium. Unreal week in the City of Angels. Got home at like 3am and the tower was still lit with the Numero Uno, have an amazing disposable camera photo of me and the road trip crew with the Tower that is one of my all time photos to this day. Fuckin’ A
