  1. Not many thought to do both. However, if you are into the sleepers, I give you Jared Wiley, TE, TCU… https://youtu.be/JrpGt6oZvFA?si=QmAcPN86RapG39R0 I like the kid and think he could be much better than being projected. There’s next to no talk of him when discussing TE’s despite being 6’6, 250lbs and having having an elite RAS score of 9.53. Here’s a blurb on him for you TJ. “One of the biggest pass catchers in the country at 6'7", tight end Jared Wiley has unusual coordination and speed for his size. He excels on curl routes against zone, where he's comfortable settling in between defenders and preparing for contact. Though he wasn't often featured as a primary read except on play fakes and trick plays that are designed to get him wide open, Wiley has solid potential to be a more consistent contributor in the passing game. The more solidified part of Wiley's game is as a blocker. He'll lose some reps due to his high pad level, but his activity level, length, aggression, and quickness are major assets. It's not a question of whether he's a good blocker.”
  2. Wilson sucks and so did Pickett. Didn't they lose Rudolph? They went from 3 crappy QB's to 1. I guess that's progress.
  3. Traded Pickett? Why? Must have been more going on with that.
  4. Yeah, picture that shit for a minute as Watson. Cleveland fans talking shit like, "Flacco use to play for the Ravens, but now he's a Brown and he's the greatest ever !!" Watson sitting on the bench in street clothes like, "What the fuck ?? You know how much pussy I get ??"
  5. Good. Whatever dysfunction they want to invite into their building, the better.
  6. Regarding Becton and Tart... I won't complain if they do or don't sign either one of those guys honestly. I just won't sit here and think those positions are set. For example, I love the TE Gesicki signing, in addition to bringing back guys we had last season. The TE room is set. Tart has been a headcase with spotty production. Does that continue here? Maybe, maybe not. Becton, minus one season, has been a below average OT. Do we get his rookie season or the recent version? That is why I say it's the "Hope and Pray" strategy. Now don't get me wrong, I will be hoping and praying hard. I just won't be the one surprised should they both end up circling the toilet bowl come season's end. I will be surprised if one or both makes a big impact at their respective positions. If these signings don't keep them from addressing both positions early in the draft, I will like them more. Also, I'm not mad at anyone for disagreeing. Love them all you like !!!
  7. I hate that deal for the Texans. Basically swapped a 1st for a 2nd (DUMB) Swapped a 7th for a 6th (WHO CARES) And a 2nd rounder (NEXT YEAR) I just think giving up the value of the 5th year option a 1st round pick holds makes that trade lopsided.
  8. The Precinct is the spot for my wife and I for special occasions. The Barrel-Cut Filet (MEDIUM RARE AT MOST) is something created by the gods. Add whatever side you want, they are all good. Along with my god-like filet, I drink as many bourbons my health and credit line can handle. The list is amazing and they always have something behind the bar if you ask and willing to pay.
  9. Stop TJ, just stop. Dip those shits in the wonderful steak juice which remains on the plate if you have to. If you aren't getting steak, eat your fries plain. If you want ketchup on your fries, go to McDonald's... LMAO !!!
  10. Happy about Tanner getting back here. Burrow loves that guy. That's good enough for me. With the addition of Gesicki, I agree that the TE group is set.
  11. I really don't think this changes draft plans at all. If it does, this isn't going to turn out well. Back to the "Hope and Pray" strategy. Hope and Pray that Becton can remain healthy (is he?) and that Pollack motivates him back to his rookie season level. Color me skeptical, but all we can do is that.
  12. And when all was said and done, the Chargers dump both Mike Williams and Keenan Allen with a net return of a 4th round pick…
  13. Many, including myself, have complained about how Mixon can disappear at times. Dont get me wrong, I will miss him and appreciate what he did here, but part also feels like it was just time.
  14. Bonus, I just read the Bengals are paying Vonn Bell the vet minimum on his 1 year deal and the Panthers are responsible for the remainder of his $6 million deal he made with them last season. NICE !!
  15. The 4th pick in the 7th round? Seeing as how we were going to release Mixon for nothing, that's a solid pick if you are targeting those back of the roster or developmental guys that you don't want to risk losing as an UDFA that might decide to go elsewhere.
  16. Becton is an injury waiting to happen. I would have been so excited to have drafted him and more disappointed to see the outcome. I don’t care if you are 6’7, carrying nearly 370 pounds around isn’t a good option when your knees are made of glass. Him and Eifert are probably related.
  17. Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m also good with the double tag scenario. Might not be the best approach, but makes a shit ton of sense financially. That being said, I still would move on that offer should it ever be presented.
  18. Switching back Higgins for a minute… I’ve seen talk of The Jags being interested in teaming him back up with Lawrence, his college QB. The thought is it would cost them #17 overall to make the deal. Here’s where I am with that thought… Do it. Take OT JC Latham and WR Brian Burns. You get a Tee replacement with an option for a 5th year and drop the $22 million hit to the cap. With Ridley leaving for the Titans, it makes it more feasible. Not saying it’s a certainty, but I’m all in.
  19. Hill played nickel CB for a time while at Michigan, so I don’t think a move to CB is an issue. Not only that, Bengals coaches commented when he was drafted that he’s built like a CB and covers like one, but has great range like a safety. Even Hill commented when drafted about wanting to play both spots. Honestly I’m excited about the thought. Bell coming back is solid for leadership and depth, if nothing else.
