COB

Odd, I’ve always pictured TJ in a yellow shirt, open at the throat, with his lap loaded with documents.

I don’t know what Tobin would say if the plan was actually “try to get Green on hometown discount or just let him walk.” But I hope that’s what they do. Forget the tag, we’ve got good young receivers in here. Either he works cheap here or send him down the road. Throwing a pile of money at a constantly hurt vet is not how to rebuild this team around a new QB.

Whit would be so optimal.

Damn, Tobin’s really blabbing on about ticket sales.

They need to get a vet tackle, experienced leader type guy. Frees up that second pick, creates maturity and hopefully competence on the line, and gives our rookie 2.0 someone to learn from. A role model. Allows us so much flexibility with our second pick if they do this. Mike will never do this.

Two words : Ogbuehi, Ghuichick, and Bodine.

If they get a lantern-jawed gunslinger at 1, and a speed burner wideout at 33, that is by far the best case scenario because the intensity and duration of Mike’s resulting orgasm will undoubtedly prove fatal.

Steelers.

Devious as all hell. Beautiful.

So Alvin Keels isn’t going to take a limo from his hotel to PBS to receive the Brown Family Stonewalling? That was one of the most tone deaf moves I’ve ever seen in any field.

Zac was asked if they’re going to make signing Green a priority so of course he said yes.

How to best use the capital you've "earned"? Grotesque.

Watching The pats vs Bills. Brady tried to trip a defender after a play in the first half, then blatantly tried to elbow a tackler after a play in the second half. No flags.

TJ absolutely loved Chris Perry’s game, probably wishes he could have hobnobbed with his dad, too..

I wonder if Mike fears a fan insurrection should he lose his senses and trade the Burrow pick. He should. Stripes is right, Not Burrow could actually lower attendance. I would not only participate in the “you traded the Burrow pick so fuck you” rebellion, I would gladly lead it.

Billy Price will very likely make the Gutter Cleaning Hall of Fame. I’ll let you know for sure next fall.

Refuse any and all offers. Doesn’t even matter what gets offered. Take Burreaux and build out from there. If he develops into the player he looks like he could develop into, we’re top 5 QB for 10-15 years.

Riley was every bit the player Harold Carmichael was.

Good one.

Best downfield timing thrower I’ve ever seen. He launches it up there and it consistently drops right on the hands of some guy who has barely beaten his man on a go route. I can’t remember anyone making so many of those throws. Go get the best FA tackle and at least one good FA linebacker. Here’s your chance dumbass Mike Brown. Don’t be an idiot like you were last year with your “roll with the guys we drafted” mentality. That got us the worst set of linebackers in the league, and what was arguably the worst o-line and worst defense in the league. WAKE UP!

Just watched the Vikings lose to the 49ers. I feel bad for Zim. He had a good year though. Cousins did not look great. I have to admit it was hard to evaluate him because he barely had time to do even his first read. It looked like one of our playoff games.

When Marvin and his guys coached the senior bowl, it seemed like we had some really good drafts. I hope the same dynamic applies to this group, though I'm not sure Zac knows what he's looking at with o-line and d-line guys.

There is a very good reason for that. Dalton’s performance in games other fans might have seen, like nationally televised games and playoff games, was absolutely, almost unbelievably, horrible. It was hard to believe the same guy we’d watch carve up Baltimore in a regular season game, could play as badly as he did in nationally televised games. Again, and again, and again.

Lots of chatter in the interchat about what offers the Bengals might get for our pick, ie Burrow on a cba price controlled deal for 5 years. Most interesting one I saw was: would you take the Saints 1 through 5 rounders, this draft and next, for our pick?

Mike reading the quarterbacks section in Street & Smith’s College Football Review: Looks at first player page / “Hmm, a gunslinger, but not lantern-jawed.” Turns page / “Hmm, not a gunslinger, and not lantern-jawed either.” Turns page / “Ok, lantern-jawed, but not a gunslinger.” Turns page to Justin Herbert / “Oh maw gawd! A lantern-jawed gunslinger!!” /Clutches chest Fred Sanford style/ “Home Instead lady who’s name I can’t remember, bring me my pills, quick!”
