  1. I know many are waiting for the flexiwing for Red Bull, but are there other upgrades that have been rumored for the other teams aside from AM who basically have given up on this year?
  2. Good question, I am not sure, but they go along side Ron Dayne in the Texans Hall of Infamy for ending a promising young players career by destroying their knee with friendly fire.
  3. I trust John Harris opinions and while he did said it was his belief that the kid from USC was the best receiving back in the draft what really was the reason why he loved the pick was the kids character and toughness. That last one is something I don't recall hearing frequently mentioned with Blue and that goes back to his days at Klein Cain. Know someone in fact who was involved at the infamous track meet that set things in motion for Blue to skip his senior season. They have nothing, but great things to say about Golden and not much to say about Blue. Not bad things, but they never felt Jayden was thinking about much beyond how things impacted himself. Some can down vote me all you want, but ask yourself this, when Texas absolutely had to put the ball in the hands of a back to make a big play who was it? Who did Sark and the staff trust in the biggest moments? Blue is a very fast running back with talent who averaged 9 carries a game this year and less than 50 yards a game. This was the first year he ever totaled over 1,000 yards in total offense and that was in 15 games. I know some wanted to compare him to Gibbs of Detroit, but the guy he reminds me the most is Michael Goodson. I saw both in high school and they were incredibly talented, but it always felt there was something missing. As far as your comments on the rest of the draft, the OT from Minnesota most likely will get at look at guard. Tunsil did so his first year at Miami and said it was a great learning experience. If the kid is one of their five best they will do it. The two ISU receivers are very good and the slot receiver is important with Tank basically being gone for the year and most likely done with that injury.
  4. You mean none of the Balls assaulted a school employee after the employee was told by the kid's Father to take away their cell phone.
  5. When you are the Ball family on steroids I can't imagine why NFL teams aren't lining up to bring that traveling shit show to their locker room. Then you have Cleveland, but the owner most likely doesn't give a damn because the Feds have been after his ass for years for various business practices so why not roll the dice and if it all goes Viking funeral pyre so be it.
  6. No with those off the field issues. When the entire NFL and last time I checked that includes the Chiefs who really don't give a shit what you do away from work so hell no, there might be some issues young Mr. Bond needs to address if he wants to play in the NFL.
  7. So you are good going one deep at safety? We know it isn't unreasonable to expect your secondary to go all 17 right? No coverage drop off if they bring in Ward. Same logic must apply to not taking another nickle because they spent all that money on Pitre. If he is getting isolated and roasted and coverage just roll with it right? The Texans needed to get younger and more athletic in the depth in the back end which they did in the draft. They need help in the oline, but as has been seen more than once they needed depth in the secondary at corner and safety which they got and those players will also help out on special teams, but everyone should feel free to act as if Nick has no clue what he is doing building a roster.
  8. Yes, the Texans should start the season hoping 50 year old Jimmy Ward is able to get back from Lourdes in time to start another 5-6 game season before Nick has to go find a safety off the street or you could go get a guy who can play safety, contribute on specialty teams and can replace Ward .
  9. Simply reinforces that all those talking heads that put out their draft rankings in fucking August and then redo it again and again and again to simply draw clicks really don't know shit about what the NFL teams are truly looking for and think of the prospects. If I had a dollar for each time I heard a reason why the Raiders were about to draft Sanders and then yet again they take a guy that fits Pete's model for winning in Seattle.
  10. Those dudes will fucking compete, I realize Iowa State isn't the SEC, but don't be surprised when Metchie is gone and you have more guys who will scrap on the roster.
  11. Consider he has only had one person as his head coach for high school and two colleges? Who knows how he will react and/or respond when he is coached by anyone else other than Dad
  12. We should expect to see Sanders playing and Deion coaching for the Iowa Barnstormers in the very near future?
  13. Interesting as Hunter really didn't attend receiver meetings at CU and when it came to offense it was very basic stuff and they depended upon his athletic ability to be better than the guy trying to guard him. That sounds perfect for the NFL. I really want this trade and pick to blow up on Jacksonville after listening to the buzz word laden crap spew out by the their 12-year old GM.
  14. Agree with one caveat. Thirty-forty years ago a kid like Ward would be heard from in college and possibly after, but with a different career path. One most Horns should be well aware of, the same pathway that took high school quarterback Jerry Gray to an all time great in Austin and the HOF in Canton.
  15. Same school with a few of those kids back, think the running back who is going to OU. Even without Jelani Watkins and the other seniors they have plenty of athletes and finished second in a pretty decent district that featured GPNS and Summer Creek.
  16. East Bernard ran the Slot T in 2012-13 when the won a state title. I have seen it most in smaller schools and it can be really effective. Think Fulshear ran it this year and they beat they shit out of a number of schools before they got beat by Atascosita. They ran for some crazy number, maybe over 450 ypg and then threw for just over a 100 a game. That coach has since gone onto Klein and it will be interesting to see if he runs it there.
  17. Another geographic laugh and no, i am not spoiler alerting this shit because if you are surprised by anything on this show you are a dumbass. Sherriff in Ransom Canyon which is supposedly 1 hour drive from Plainview is given a tip about a chop shop in Bandera where a truck involved in a fatal accident was taken for repair. That is over 400 miles? Haven't screenwriters learned from the Simpsons and not give specific geographic points of reference.
  18. Yes, they and how many other NFL teams have found themselves in the cycle of burning through picks to try to find a competent quarterback? The numbers are staggering in how many bad quarterbacks have been drafted in the first round and yet we see teams repeat the process again and again and again and why? If your ultimate goal is to play for a title you have to have a quarterback who can have success in your system. So how do you find that guy? The track record is there for playing for a title and outside of Brady and Purdy the quarterbacks who have played in that game have come primarily from the first round and a large part are the first part of the first round. Hell, even the "retread" guys like Flacco were high draft picks. Foles was a 3rd round pick. The reality is that there is one hole you can scheme around in the current NFL and this is why we see teams continually reach for quarterbacks.
  19. The same reason why the Cowboys drafted Rod Hill in the first round, Cleveland drafted Manziel, Indy drafted Richardson a few years back, etc...... maybe the team thinks they see something no one else does, maybe they think they can be the team to put the player in the best situation to maximize their talent, or maybe they feel the need to take the gamble to fill a hole in their roster. As noted, the Steelers have fucking Mason Rudolph and Skyler Thompson as their quarterbacks and while we know what their NFL floor is we also know what their ceiling is and it isn't much higher. Sanders might have a much lower floor, he might even implode everything at Pittsburgh, but he also could be better and if it doesn't work then it is time to make a complete change. Remember that Sanders at quarterback is going to be cheaper than any free agent quarterback and if you are the Steelers and need money elsewhere why tie money up in shitty free agents who aren't going to get you where you want to go as an organization.
  20. Time to make Marty Smith a regular at the desk so he can fawn over Saban or salvage the CWS by giving Carl Ravech the job to simply smile and waive like Corso the last few years. Then again I haven't really watch Game Day much since Rece Davis took over as host.
  21. Tomlin has been as close to being bullet proof as any NFL could possibly be with 17 years under his belt. During that time he has dealt with more than a few headcases off the field and Pittsburgh might actually be a good market for the Sanders family traveling circus. Hell, the Steelers currently have who at quarterback? Mason Rudolph, Skyler Thompson, and ? Roll the damn dice and if it blows up it might be the perfect time to reset at HC and turn over the roster with Watt and Heyward getting near the end of their time in the NFL. Besides, who wouldn't want to see Myles Garrett get to chase Sanders twice a year with the way Shedeur hold onto the ball.
  22. That and the uniform of the player immediately to his left. My feet hurt just looking at those high top canvas Converse that had absolutely no cushion or support to them.
  23. Apparently somewhere that you can drive to Plainview in one hour which means it isn't the Hill Country. I know that detail because my wife watches this thing as a replacement until Virgin River comes back. The show was shot near Santa Fe and Las Vegas, New Mexico which once again would explain all those really tall trees one hour from Plainview.
  24. He is one of the those players who I ponder from time to time what he would have done in college and the NFL today with the spread offenses and rule changes for defenses.
