  1. Making up for that botched popup behind the plate. HA! Maybe good Heim is starting to engage again.
  2. Like I always say, Jonah really hustles.
  3. Never mind...haven't eaten today, brain is working even shittier than usual.
  4. Safe, or this one is rigged AF.
  5. He will be throwing left-handed today.
  6. As much as I am not crazy about drafting RBs in the first round, I wouldn't be sad if Jeanty lasted to 12 and the Cowboys took him. He seems like the closest thing to a safe pick that settles that crucial position for the next five years. Checks all the boxes. But he'll probably be gone. I'm not crazy about the WRs that will be available, and I'm not sure they should burn a first rounder. Second round would probably offer the best value, maybe third. Golden is flashy but I don't think he's the kind of WR that would be the best match to pair up with Ceedee. McMillan would be a better fit, but I'm a bit skeptical about his value at 12. But I wouldn't hate it that much. I think there is likely good value at 2 and 3 wiithut a ton of dropoff. I would love to see a permanent DE replacement there, but I'm not really seeing the draft stack up for that particular guy at 12. I don't like guards at 1, either, or a "versatile" shorter armed guy they say can play tackle or guard, which usually means he is an NFL starting guard or a marginal tackle. It just piles up too much onto the cap when you can get good guards later in the draft. Get a true guard in the 3rd round. At 12 you gotta get true left tackle, not a development guy like Guyton, that can fix that spot would be pretty awesome, but I see that as unlikely from the Cowboys perspective. There isn't an interior DL that I love at 12, and they tend to go later if they aren't just a total no-brainer stud player. I don't want to see a big reach for position of need over a better prospect. I don't think they need to panic and take a corner too early, it's just going to add to the drama in the coming years. And I don't want to see a TE in the first three rounds. I'd be OK with a small trade down, inside of 16-ish depending on how things are falling, to get another 4th rounder if none of the "guys" are there at 12. Another 4 or better could be extremely useful to fill some more of those needs, since they have pissed away so much mid draft capital. I like Mykel Williams a bit later than the Cowboys are picking if they went that route. With no 4 it's going to be hard to get solid picks at all the immediate needs that have a chance to start or rotate, solid guards, safeties, linebackers that might have been available there, or even a good RB with early starting potential. Other than Jeanty, there's not a particular player prospect that has me really drooling that might possibly be there.
  7. Milton wasn't even active until week 18. He wasn't the backup in New England, wasn't getting backup practice reps. He got showcased in the last game that was meaningless. It is absurd to think he's ready to be any NFL team's primary backup at this stage. He won't be, unless the Cowboys are just even more idiotic than even the haters believe they are. He is the new long term prospect so they won't have to spend another draft pick on a qb in this draft. They still need a backup, whether they settle on Grier, who at least knows the offense and has been around long enough to have some experience. I believe they still sign a cheap backup at some point before or after the draft, like Drew Lock or maybe get Tannehill out of retirement if he's cheap enough.
  8. From Copperas Cove that ain't got shit, to Waco where Vitek's is considered a barbecue joint. Not that unreasonable.
  9. Nice. Good to see Luke finally paying off for the team that drafted him.
  10. Milton has thrown 29 passes in his short NFL career of one game played, all against backups. That doesn't qualify as a backup qb. It's like a preseason game. If that's the Cowboys' backup, that's a shitty situation. Maybe they're will be signing another veteran, then it makes at least a modicum of sense. Because right now Will Grier isn't looking like a great option to back up, either. Either the Cowboys have another plan, or this move was stupid as fuck. They won't be drafting a qb, because they already have a long range prospect on the roster they gave up a pick to get. They're not likely to go into the season with 29 total passes between their second and third string qbs backing up a qb coming off a major injury and has missed a bunch of games in the last three seasons.
  11. Fucking apple TV. I can't stream that shit here.
  12. The Cowboys apparently put a much higher value on 7th round picks than 4th and 5th round picks. The more I read about Milton's pre-draft evaluations the more pissed off I get.
  13. Correct. I am a reasonable fan with no expectations or much hope for a big jump above mediocrity. I'm neither a hater or a polyanna cheerleader. I like a lot of what they did in free agency plugging holes so they don't have to reach for drafting guys at certain positions, and probably upgraded in some areas, definitely got some decent quality depth. I just don't like them getting too cute with the underrated areas of the draft that will hurt their chances of being able to react when a player they really covet falls down later than they thought, or the quality market at a position is really drying up ahead of them. If they draft another injury case or some kind of problem child with their second rounder again, or reach a round or two ahead for a player at a need position again when they didn't get their target guy, I'll start getting more depressed.
  14. I just don't think the Patriots trade a qb for that low a price if they think he can have starting potential, regardless of how much they believe in their young starter because they have Dobbs as a backup. I think he's likely a tools guy that has a limited ceiling as probably a backup, but lacks the vision and processor speed to be much more. If you have a qb you believe has a high ceiling for a mil a year, you keep him. Things happen in the NFL. You don't fuck around at qb if you really think you have a jewel in the rough. The Patriots marketed the shit out of him and got something for what they think was not much of a loss. They're just gutting too much of their middle round draft and ammo to move up when they keep getting sniped a pick or two ahead of their target guy.
  15. That area of the draft is great for guards, non-edge linebackers, safeties that can often contribute early. Cowboys have immediate need holes to fill long term. The FAs they signed are mostly on one year deals, or short deals. The best news about Milton is that he's under contract through 2027 at 1 million-ish. He may be a replacement for Will Grier as a backup, so they could still potentially take a flier on a young developmental qb late in the he draft. I really just don't like how they have dealt away mid round picks that could have more long term upgrade potential than what they got in return.
  16. Cowboys trading for QB Joe Milton and a 7 in exchange for a 5. Not a fan of this move at all. Backup shows some good stuff in trash games, price goes up, team that has him cheap trades him. He's likely a preseason hero with little more upside. Maybe an OK backup, but I'd rather spend that 5 on a rookie, or use that pick to move up for a targeted player. https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/cowboys-finalizing-trade-to-acquire-patriots-qb-joe-milton-iii
  17. Was this a replay? LOL Great win, but I hope they can figure out how to score a few more runs soon.
  18. That's a bad monkeyfighter, right there. Fuck yeah!
  19. If they blow this one I'm gonna puke.
  20. 87 pitches after 8. Would they let him go a full 9 at this stage?
  21. Well, fuck this game in the goatass.
