  1. I'm not going to claim that Wisner is an elite back. I do not believe he is. But you are too harsh in your assessment of him, and focusing on the last 4 games of the season is foolish. Say what you want about the guy, but he answered the bell when he needed to. He also kept his mouth shut, didn't complain, didn't make excuses, and did everything his body would let him do. At the time Blue had a hurt ankle and Gibson apparently insisted on greasing the football between the snap and the handoff. Wisner didn't have the luxury of healing because the team needed his steady, albeit diminished, presence. To use those games as a measuring stick of his ability is absolutely ridiculous if your goal is an honest assessment. This team's ceiling is with a healthy Baxter. Heck, Gibson or Clark may even prove to be a more dynamic runner as a backup this year. But there is no need to minimize Wisner's abilities or contributions to last year's team.
  2. Great post. I'm not going to go player by player and offer a projection, but using your projections as a baseline, I'll offer a few thoughts. - I like the yards and TD's for Wingo, but I think he'll average more than 4 catches a game. Put me down for 80ish. Wingo is gonna be lethal on downfield crossing patterns. - I think more highly of Moore. He does have a tendency to get banged up and did have drop issues last year. He's also one of the best culture guys, works inside and outside, doesn't take plays off, and has good rapport with Arch. I think he and Wingo complement each other well and will have less of a gap between their numbers. - I'm a believer in Livingstone. I think he and Mosely will actually be fairly close in numbers by the end of the season. This takes into consideration Trey Owens getting backup reps, as I think Owens will find Livingstone. - I like McCutcheon most of the freshmen. His all around game will get him on the field more. I like Ffrench, and I'd fade Lockett in your projections. - I don't have many thoughts about TE. Endries will be awesome. The freshmen are freshmen. Hopefully Washington is a quality 2nd TE. - I'm fading the RB numbers as a whole. I know Sark likes using them, and I expect them to continue to be part of the offense. I also think Ewers reflexively dumped the ball to RB's, to the detriment of the offense. Arch is more downfield oriented and Sark will adjust the offense accordingly. This will, of course, open up space for RB passes and Sark will scheme them up. But in the aggregate, I expect RB numbers to go down. There is no Keilan Robinson or Jaydon Blue type high end speed receiving back this year.
  3. The first page of this thread isn't aging well.

  5. flip from Miss St.
  6. It was hilarious how they had to edit the finale to try to have even a pretense of drama. Tristan just dominated the season in a Paul Qui-esque way, and crushed the finale. Definitely a first ballot Top Chef hall of famer. The others were very good, but Tristan was just next level.
  7. early returns on Miller are very strong. I'm excited to see where we will be in 2-3 years.
  8. for the credibility of the sport this simply can't be obstruction.
  9. This is championship level parenting.
  10. I agree. The fact that it is obvious should comfort to me. Somehow I do not feel it is obvious to the one person who matters.
  11. you can never feel confident when the other team has the better pitcher. Kavan is wonderful, but Canady is a clear tier above her. We have the much better lineup, but you simply cannot manage Game 2 from the vantage point of feeling confident of your chances in Game 3. Too much variance can happen in any game. You play each game to win. White treated this game like a midweek directional school game.
  12. Cimunz needs to be the DP tomorrow. @Js1 is leading the charge, and I have my pitchfork right behind him.
  13. Cimunz battled well there
  14. Grady Little is like "whoa Mike, not sure about your pitching decisions there".
