  1. If Levon Kirkland can play MLB at 280, everybody ought to be able to do it.
  2. I’m on the Gbenda hype train. One - cause I like to go against the grain. Two - cause I see the positives when others focus on the negatives (I actually flip that based on general perceptions). Three - he’s a ball of thunder. Four - he will play hard and be active. I watched the UW game again. The long TD run was right at him. Unfortunately the DT was pushed back into this lap. The defender to his left - unblocked and concerned with the fake/qb. I think he read it fine, but the line play (one player) caused the problem. He only logged 71 snaps in 2022, about a third of 2021. He needs reps to get consistency. I’m not sure he’ll be a 3 down guy so coverage may not be a huge issue. Last year he didn’t play enough to draw any definitive conclusions but PFF graded him well, and there were some positives from his limited snaps. I’d say throw 2021 out the window for a number of reasons.
  3. I didn’t realize Bush was on the field so much on 3rd and 4th down.
  4. Not for the season but leading up to the draft. I’m not aware of any hopes for the current season.
  5. I once knew a college soccer coach that traveled to Australia to recruit. Probably wasn’t too expensive.
  6. . I want Richardson to fail because of the the hype and opportunity provided that he hasn’t shown/earned on the field. If they got Minshew there based on false promises, I don’t care for that. But I have idea if that occurred. But yeah Irsay does his thing.
  7. If you had $220 million, then $225k could be considered chump change.
  8. Reps are important. However, if you are the Chiefs, would you like to go back in time and play Mahomes immediately or are you satisfied with how his development played out? What about Rodgers? Now Richardson. He needs more mental than physical development. And his college career more than others shows he needs to learn to play the position. He wasn’t drafted to play 4/5 years for the Colts. The intent is for him to play a decade so playing the first year could go either way. The rush to play him this year is he is that good. That would be surprising to know this early. As for Minshew, he probably knew the deal. My guess is that he’d like to play rather than just cash a check, but that he’ll take the check rather than do something else. The NFL has plenty of failures at the QB position due to lack of patience. Some of that is starting these guys too soon. Part of that is not giving guys enough opportunity given their surrounding environment. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes not.
  9. The answer to this statement is the story. You don’t put someone in your will just because they went to your school of choice. You don’t siphon off thousands of dollars only to give back millions to that same person. You don’t give them millions without being “family” whether they were adopted or not. No shit if my kid was a big recruit with the NFL in his future, Texas would be the hope. But it’s hard for me to cross that bridge of bringing that kid into my house without caring about him personally just to get him there. I enjoyed the movie but I elect to see the positives in the outcome rather than picking apart that not all of it is 100% altruistic.
  10. I believe that was Sark playing for this year. He said Ewers was his guy before the season started so he rode him.
  11. Perhaps just me, but it would have been awesome for Roschon to play a little LB and RB. Then again, maybe we don’t win 10 games if he does.
  12. Just blame it on Majors.
  13. No one brings the good news like @HenryJames
  14. Well maybe get way up in that upper right corner for 10 wins this year. But damn if your comment didn’t feel like 2021. Poor 4Q offense and poor in one score games.
  15. I’m getting old but when did the “I” become a thing? I sure as hell don’t remember that from my youth.
  16. So why oh why are we the outlier?
  17. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38196581/rookie-anthony-richardson-named-colts-starting-qb Anybody else hopes this dude fails? They didn’t even give Minshew a shot.
  18. What can I say? He had hernia surgery for his appendix. I have all of mine. How ever many that is.
  19. Let’s just hope it’s not a recurring injury.
  20. Mackovic Baylor 1997.
  21. Individually everyone is starting to whip ass. Sometimes the D makes a play; sometimes the O makes a play. Not sure how we can lose.
  22. Clearly, it’s the one with the first pick.
  23. When Majors declares early, we will have no choice but to start a different C.
  24. Funny the Steelers came to mind. From all the way to Kevin Greene to Watt they’ve found guys to make it work.
  25. Every team has guys it doesn’t want to lose. With respect to Sorrell, he was nobody at this time last year. It’s not like he was all world coming out of high school either. Point being guys step up every year to give you some positive surprises. If he goes down, we should get some of level of production out of that replacement. That’s where we’re becoming so much better from a depth perspective. We’re closer to Bama/Georgia/Ohio State than we are to the Big 12 teams in the natural talent/depth area. On LB, you should feel comfortable with the guys in front and behind. Blackwell has made some plays. Gbenda actually has too. Maturity and experience should be theirs. I lean more towards what seems to he the NFL way here. We will find guys to make tackles. We need to square up the front end and the back end.
