    I had no hate for him when he was at USC. I certainly don't now. I may not have been his biggest fan in 2005, but I couldn't hate him. He was always a player's coach.

     

    I'm glad he sees the value in players from Texas.

    Aside from the fact that he was a cheatin' SOB, yeah he's a swell guy.

    Pete was running the dirtiest program outside of the Penn State locker room.

    There were stories touting the number of agents in the Trojan locker room due to all the talent on the roster. Rather than that instigating an immediate investigation, it was seen as a testament to Pete's recruiting & player development prowess.

    NOTE: "Three-Pete" has ZERO crystal footballs in USC's trophy cases from his time in Troy.

    Still no Chris Warren III sightings I guess.  Dude had burned his bridges at Texas (or failed all his classes) and took the only path open to him, and now what?

    Was just thinking about him.

    I guess that his dad pays for a year of one-on-one TE tutoring, he plays a season of Canadian football as a TE and then hopefully gets invited to a rookie camp next year.

    I'm in the PNW and most Seahawk fans seem quite happy about The Punter.

    I wonder what effect punting in frequent drizzle is going to have on his production.

    I feel like Seattle is the worst weather that he could go to. There are colder outdoor stadiums, but Seattle is the wettest one.

    And....What you can’t do is come back and improve your NFL stock. We all know what we are talking about when we say “education “ and of course he can come back and get his degree at anytime. But he can’t come back and win the Thorpe award. 

    And who knows if he got an advance from his agent based on bad info. He could be in the hole at this point. 

    I'm not sure if you were the kid who sat in the corner and ate paste from preschool into high school, but I think that you might need to let it go.

    You can advise your son not to leave early for the NFL draft, but this ship has sailed and you've said your piece about 8 to 10 times already. I'm not sure what you think is the magic number for stating the same thing for it to "click" with others, but I believe that the number for radio ads is 3 or 4 before it affects a person's buying decision. (You've doubled to tripled that.)

    Perhaps it's time to start a thread for a player who will be entering his junior year this fall and you can begin your efforts to convince him to stay in school.

    Your work here is done.

    All of this drama for fucking weed. It ain't millions of dollars worth worth of fun, that's for sure.

    It's an escape. It's not necessarily because it's fun.

    I'm sure that HH & Armanti and several other guys have smoked with former Longhorns who play in the NFL now. They see that you can smoke and get away with it. For some reason or another, HH feels the need to smoke more than others. Anxiety? Stress from home? Drama on the dating scene? Lower IQ and less of a rational look at consequences/or forgets how many weeks out until his next test... I have no idea.

    Ricky smoke all the time at UT and then continued in the NFL. He occasionally got caught, but he was also a nice, intelligent guy who had won the Heisman, so he got a longer rope than most others, but he lost out on millions of dollars due to weed. Later we learned about his social anxiety disorder and he found other ways to deal with it until he'd finished his career. (No doubt that Ricky smokes again.)

    Soon enough this will all be a thing of the past, but for some reason (or many reasons), HH has a difficult time refraining from weed. If the school cared that much, there'd be required psychological counseling that would be required for each player who tested positive as well as available for any other player who feels like they would like someone (not on staff) who they could talk to to work things out. (Maybe that is the policy, I have no idea, but just saying "No" is not so easy for some... Romance Taylor is another example.)

    Find something else to do with your lives you bunch of pussies.

    THIS! I'm out of rep for the next 24 hours or so, but my god we have the most repetitive group of Debbie Downers/Glums (from "Gulliver's Travels") that I've ever come in contact with in any of the couple of dozen countries I've visited.

    There should be a thread for repetitive pissing & moaning. You can post the first cunt-sobbing here, but all repeats (or slight variations) have to be posted on the cunt-sobbing thread.

    Take some fucking MIDOL and get a mani-pedi... and quit your fucking repetitive crying.

    Who will be in the league longer, poona or Mayfield?

    Probably Mayfield, just because he could end up doing a Colt McCoy.

    But I think that there are better people to ask "Who's going to be in the league longer, ______?" question about.

    Great spot for him with Zimmer.

    Probably best for him to stay out of a Recreationally Legal state until the Collective Bargaining Agreement is rewritten.

    Seahawk organization loves the horns

    The Seahawks are really making it difficult to keep hating them.

    Poona, Dickson, Swoopes, Earl Thomas (for now) and Shaquem Griffin...

    It's really difficult to pull against them at the moment.

    Skins beef up their interior by getting Payne and Settle. And we continue to just get backup players and have them start on ours. But hey, at least we got another TE that is a Swaim clone and tons more WRs. This draft should have been majority defense. Not all these WRs and a fucking QB. Go sign a vet to be the backup. This front office will never learn and will keep going in circles with this approach. Skimp out on the defense and you will continue to get gashed by good teams. See both Packers playoff losses. 

    The Skins also picked up Trey Quinn out of SMU with the last pick in the draft and I was really hoping that the Cowboys would bring him in as a UFA.

    I still would like them to pursue Poona & Warren. Other than that, I don't care. I guess Holton would be good as well. If the NFLPA could just hurry up and get weed taken out of their agreement, things would be so much better. It's coming, but it can't get here soon enough.

    A team that drafts for back-ups fails. This has been a frustrating draft watching the Cowboys get a thousand WR’s, a QB they didn’t need and a backup RB. You find backups in the open market and on practice squads, not in the draft. 

    Or 2. One should compete for instant playing time and possibly be starting by the end of the season. The other one might contribute this year and if not this year, then next year.

    They got a good back QB with a strong arm, because you always need a solid backup QB in the NFL. 

    They got a great LB, a great 2nd round OL who will compete for a starting spot immediately, they got a load of a RB who will punish defenders while spelling Zeke, they got an early playing time TE who could be the starter by next year, some depth on the edge, and discarded a seldom used WR for depth at DT, which was a definite need.

    So far, they've been pretty good.

    With the Rams on the clock, they have 4 of the next 6 picks.

    It will be interesting to see if they just carpet bomb a position or spread them around.

    ...or they might trade away 3 out of those 4 picks.

    That's an option that I didn't list.

    Player Bio
     
    Covington was the first Division I scholarship athlete from Chicago's Al Raby High School as a dual-threat quarterback in 2014. He suited up at quarterback for the Hoosiers in 2014, but struggled as a passer (3-of-12, 31 yards, no scores, two interceptions) and then suffered a season-ending ACL injury against Iowa. He moved to linebacker during the following spring, and played in the team's final eight games there (four tackles). Becoming more comfortable at the position, he started once in 13 games played, making 29 stops, three for loss, and two sacks. Covington took another step forward at linebacker in 2017, using his athleticism to garner honorable mention All-Big Ten honors as a 12-game starter, posting 85 tackles, 12 for loss, three sacks, and five pass breakups. He was named Indiana's Defensive Player of the Year for his efforts.

    If they really like what they saw, then taking a Round 7/PFA guy with one of two picks in the 6th round, because they thought that at least one other team might like him, is fine with me.

    He's a former dual-threat QB who switched to LB after an injury. We've seen that Herman likes the same kind of jumbo athletes. This is the time to take a flyer on a baller.
  14. Elliott is the Ravens' first safety taken in the draft... which is good.

    They have taken 9 picks so far (including Elliott) and have 2 more picks at the end of the 6th (compensatory) and their 7th round pick as well.

    So you're saying that he's going to transform into a player that he's never been in the NFL and will suddenly become the deep threat that the Ram's didn't see.

    Seems legit.

    Perhaps you're already drunk.

    I said that he can run deep. He won't catch the ball unless they don't cover him, but they'll have to account for him... which means that there will be more room in the box for Zeke to run. Not sure why you can't fucking understand that simple statement.

    same role lucky had.  he's going to be handed the ball quite a bit.  he is a bust as a top 10 pick. 

     

    It's not a bad use of a 6th rounder.

    Special teams only.

     

    His job will be to run deep posts & go routes and keep teams from stacking 9 men in the box.

    $3 million isn't very expensive to keep an extra man from dropping into the box. If he catches a few passes, then that's gravy.
