  1. We lost Matthew Golden. Bond was a nonfactor for much of the second half of the season. Are you worried about losing Cook? Wingo is a year older and improved, Moore is a year older and has been locked in on this season as his launching pad to the NFL since arriving on campus, both played heavy snaps last year. So let's say improved Wingo + improved Moore + Eric Decker + Mosley Worse than Bond + Golden + Cook + Bolden + Moore + Wingo? (Based on what we knew about them heading into the season) Definitely debatable.
  2. That's just Bobby. It's a minor annoyance as a reader, but it is what it is. Could be a hell of a lot worse. Also misspells Jaime Ffrench's name as Jamie.
  3. A sentence like that speaks much louder when you understand the context behind it.
  4. Saints fan saying that the Saints will still be ready to draft him 1/1 whether he comes out next year or the following one.
  5. Maybe in the tweener sense, but he's more explosive.
  6. Those throws are tough to make when the receivers are halfassing it. Not sure if they were supposed to be going full speed, but it makes for a rough looking video.
  7. More true freshmen than expected in that defensive two deep.
  8. I've asked why we should expect Dante Moore to be much improved now that he's at Oregon and no one has been able to provide any real sort of reasoning. Most just back it up with saying "well, he was really highly rated coming out of HS!" We've seen him actually play college ball, and it wasn't pretty. I'm sure Will Stein is telling all the 9.95ers that Moore is much improved though.
  9. Looks like that Fasusi investment is paying off. Who could have ever guessed that the kid is a project who somehow convinced himself he was a day 1 starter? Not even on the 2 deep? Tough
  10. Agreed here, but Taaffe and McDonald have shown ball hawk tendencies. Maybe Derek Williams too. I’m not a Guilbeau believer, but the coaches seem to be so we’ll see. Cant have two corners (Muhammad & Guilbeau) who lack make up speed on the field at the same time.
  11. The only movies I had a hard time with as a kid were Jurassic Park and Aliens. Once I got old enough, none of that stuff was believable enough to bother me anymore.
  12. Personnel. We didn't really have maulers up front like they had at Bama. Conner, and Majors were more effective at mirroring defenders than they were at driving DL backwards. Hutson tries to play more physically, even if he isn't always effective at it. Neto is super physical, but he doesn't always know who to block and at what angle. Campbell hopefully goes nuts this year. Either way, more physical guards and center this year. We'll see if it translates.
  13. This is my biggest concern against OSU and kinda for the season, but we aren't gonna see another potent passing attack like that unless Mateer is the truth at OU. Can PK, Nansen, and Akina make their concepts to work well together? It took PK and Joseph some time before they made it work.
  14. Finkley wasn't particularly athletic for being so undersized. He also didn't have the tools to mitigate that. All motor. Kruel is explosive and athletic. Not as athletic as Bryce Perry Wright, but up there. He's probably smaller than BPW though, hence the pass rush specialist label. Not sure how tall Kruel is, but I would have guessed Finkley to be around 6'1 when I saw him.
  15. You guys are arguing semantics. Who fucking cares? We were hyped last year and we're hyped this year too. Enjoy the ride, the coverage and hype are gonna be bananas by the time week 1 in Columbus gets here.
  16. He will not start camp as a starter, but he will work his way up there before camp is over. Same thing Trey Moore, Mitchell, and others have done
  17. DMo inconsistent? I'm not a pure stats guy, but he was our 3rd option at best for much of the year and still had a great year. This year, he will likely be the first or second option unless Wingo AND Endries blow up. On top of that, he has Arch throwing to him now. Aside from any Arch v Quinn improvements, those two have been building a rapport since they were both on the bench as freshmen. Barring injury, I'm expecting a 70+ reception, double digit TD season of him.
  18. Another big time get! This guy has so much room for improvement. He has an IZ frame, but an OZ skill set. Love his film.
  19. Biggest concern going into week 1 is our secondary, namely our corners, against their WRs. We really need our front to get Sayin off his spots early so he doesn't get into a groove. Second concern would be their front against our OL, but I'm hoping Arch's mobility is a mitigating factor while they find their legs. As mentioned above, we have some solid advantages going into this one, but those are the challenges I can see right now.
  20. Clearly fakes, but I wouldn’t say no if she was offering a test drive.
  21. Massive fucking get. Enough size, great explosiveness, and all the arm length you could want. Pissing in Kirby’s Cheerios is an added bonus
  22. What a fucking day. Johnson was probably the best looking of the DL we were in on. Fits a different profile of the ones we had too. Massive get.
  23. If putting ground beef/meat in my queso is wrong, then fuck off and leave me to my wrongness
  24. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta Good shit guys, and welcome to the 40, Tyler
