Margus Hunt in SF seems to be at the top of my list for perfect matches. Tutilage from replacement, a team that can develop him and situationally play behind or with Smith. Lengthy guy with a motor who plays low. On paper its perfect.
-
Plus he was injured and switched schemes to one of the worst places possible for his skill set.

How do you feel about loading an established position ?

It was an example to illustrate putting all your eggs in one basket in the NFL world. -

Think about having 6 quality interior OL. Wouldn't you be a more dangerous team with 3 interior OL and 3 interior DL? Or some tackles? Also, steel sharpens steel. You need diversity for it to spread. 6 guards might improve your DL play but 3 and 3 would improve both. I'm saying man sharpens man, as in how Suh can take some credit in DET for improving our OLplay. Practicing against talent rubs off... more often than not. -

Because being one dimensional in the NFL is foolish. The other mentions were all value picks. -
Jags new helmet is dope.

Stud - Margus Hunt. Look up his blocked kicks, tons of them. I like him, 6'8", fast and he plays low. He has the motor and he gives me a blue collar vibe, happy to be here kind of a guy coaches and teammates would want to succeed. I also like Warmack a ton. Say whatever you want but you give me a guard who moves people and doesn't get moved and I'm happy. Sometimes moving someone 15 feet in a given general direction beats technique and footwork, plus those are easier to improve in the NFL regimen than freakish ability.

Calvins catch radius is larger than the average 3 bedroom house and they altered the way they measure your vertical at the combine due to his performace... this is impressive but not anus shatteringly so.
-
Kevin Curtis still the all time wonderlic champ? Or maybe he's non QB champ... either way, 7 is bad
-
Id be fine with 15 mil/5+ years. Am I crazy? I am biased, but he is young. He can make every throw. He's getting better. The team is getting better.
-
Of course. If it makes you feel better I bet on it, every year.
-
Akiem Hicks will benefit from a scheme change and play NT, and have a break out year. Something tells me Brian Quick will step up his game as well.
-
So it would be legal for him to do some sort of a dribble-hold? Interesting. Optimistic to a fault, but it is possible.
-
At the very least, comp. for Akers is good. In my head I'm imagining him removing the holder from certain kicks. Let's see how he handles pressure first I guess... but can you imagine, dribbling the snap? Is that legal? Ill admit I don't know the technicalities of the kicking game. Its been snap, hold, kick forever. Can a player dribble a snap and kick?
-
Yes F4E, thanks. Well see how it looks on Sunday though.

What is one thing you can say to another teams fan base to really piss them off?

That's also how JG was born. (Qb coach in MIA during those brilliant decision making moments) Irelands not that terrible, at least he will go down swinging. -
Wide 9 was about the worst thing that could have happened to Nnamdi. I hope he is able to regain his swagger and then hopefully a little stride as well. Also every QB - WR combo above is pretty tough on most DBs. I'm a fan of his, I wish him the best. I think SF got some good value and depth with this deal.
-
KC got a ton of pro bowl nods for various national news stories. The players with the most sports media attention ended up with what I call the housewife vote. And last season had a lot of that what with the murder suicide, and I feel like I'm missing another big story as well... oh well, my list JAX BUF NYJ OAK TEN In no particular order except TEN obviously at 5. Sorry, not impressed with them as of late. DEF has been worse every year since we got your boy and everytime I watch them over the last 2 seasons OFF seems 0 dimensional? What happened? Put them there to put them in the mix...
-
Google Dolphins new logo and you will see a 'modernized' version of the old one as well. I was hoping this one was a diversion for the 'modernized' to be announced on draft day. Needless to say, not a fan of the new logo. Id just post it but I'm on my phone... its worth googling. A coworker of mine, a fins fan, thinks it was an april fools day joke.

Could just be me I don't have an extra mobile to verify but quite often tapping or scrolling through a text box causes my browser to close. Only happens here. Heads up.

#1 cap worn by fake ass football fans is DAL. Real recognize real aside, DAL fanbase is diluted. Hence the easy pickens. -
Kettlebells, club bells, swinging rope (seriously, faster you swing it more resistance offered, I HIGHLY recommend getting a 20 and/or 40 ft. Length of the thickest rope your local hardware store can offer if your into strength training. 1.5" will do but 2.5" would be ideal to start), punching wood or a plate of bulletproof glass, various calisthenics/cardio, occasional freeweights but I find them unecessary lately, and sparring. Combine that with good nutrition. In the South they call it skrong/scrong? I liked that.

Other athletes line up to support Kluwe, Ayanbadejo brief on marriage equality
the Lions fan replied to NaTaS's topic in General NFL Talk
And before you take those texts literally give it some thought. One of my favorite Biblicisms is that turning the other cheek was a mistranslation from early aromaic scripts. It actually refers to your hand. And was actually supposed to be a statement about it being disrespectful to hit a man with the back of your hand. Not what it was turned into. If we can mistranslate and lose such percieved important messages taking it literally is a mistake... Also look into the missing or removed books of the Bible. Very interesting. -

The Bible endorses slavery and many forms of murder, amongst several mentions of Giants and I don't mean big blue. The Quran endorses homosexuality to a degree, no matter how disgusted Muslim leaders appear to be. Here's an interesting quote from the Quran "...women are for reproduction, men are for pleasure." Interpret however you please. Also 14 of those virgins are prepubescent boys. Study your chosen good books, they're interesting. In a perfect world religions wouldn't oppress people or affect legislature. People would be judged by their character and actions and we all would have equal rights and near-equal opportunity (I would say equal but location can be a factor, I.e. being a scuba instructor in Wyoming...) oh well... let's put our disagreements aside and try to take steps towards this perfect world. Let them marry, let's be honest if you're against gay marriage you just don't like gays. You can say whatever you want but it is becoming universally apparent. The real reason is ugly hate. It doesn't affect your marriage and doesn't feed satan. -

Raiders fans hate it when you show them that even with the 0-16 (wich btw doesn't get under my skin, I've accepted it) season. Their 10 year loss total trumps DETs. One of those 'whos the worst' debates. Millen mentioning makes me angry! But usually at the Fords, not the messanger. And when people make claims about Calvin not being the best WR in football. I don't care about your fantasy numbers. Megatrons a freak.
