    2026 Offseason Thread

    My pre-training camp best guess at the 53: QB (2) Locks: Lamar, Huntley Bubble: Thompson Longshots: Fagnano, Pavia QB seems easy enough unless Thompson does enough that they want to keep him as the emergency 3rd QB on gameday rosters. RB (4) Locks: Henry Near Locks: Hill, Ali, Randall...

    Way Too Early 2027 NFL Draft

    Apparently a QB heavy draft class, but I'll believe it when I see it... Let's see who actually comes out first... and how well they actually project to the NFL QB potential options in the '27 class include: Arch Manning Dante Moore Julian Sayin LaNorris Sellers Brendan Sorsby (we know he's...

    2026 Offseason Thread

    my guess is that Jones will be a swing backup at G/T and with Pocic now having been signed, Pinter offers you some flexibility at G too (although i much prefer him at C) LT: Stanley, Vinson LG: Simpson C: Pocic, Pinter RG: Vega RT: RR, Jones C has questions marks for both guys, but i'd be...

    Signings, Cuts, Trades

    i actually think Pinter is probably the better option right now especially given the two guards we've got now but it's possible that the value of Pocic's experience making calls etc. (at least while Vega is settling in) is more important than the run blocking upside of Pinter im really hoping...

    Signings, Cuts, Trades

    money-wise he's getting about 250k more than pinter but with some incentives on top think it's going to be a fairly open 2-way competition between those two - at least it should now be an actual competition Pocic is more proven obviously, but also offers less as a run blocker athletically and...

    2026 Offseason Thread

    other tidbits from that conversation/context that i picked up on: 1) Emery Jones will be taking reps at OT in EDC's mind - to me that always seemed like his best position going back to his college tape where I didn't project him as OT conversion candidate 2) Danny Pinter is definitely leading...

    similar theme, i remember playing rugby and we played against an academy side for a top tier team - we probably would have lost every collision, but we had to try and catch them first lol - felt like we almost never touched them in open play and were some of the most demoralising scrums ive...

    it's wild to me that it can be expensive literally a sport that requires zero equipment or set-up can be played on the street with scrunched up leftover tin foil if that's all you've got - you don't even necessarily need a goal either, but if you do you just put 2 rocks or t-shirts or literally...

    and the annoying thing is there's not an obvious fix to change that risk/reward equation

    honestly that's been the main scandal of this WC the way that in some cases, people who have spent thousands on flights/accommodation etc. are somehow not even getting tickets that they've paid for or are having to fork out thousands for tickets that shouldn't be as expensive as they are and...

    this is right for US football to develop there's a lot of work to do: 1) they have to start moving away from the college sports model and have the MLS have proper academies that start at pre-teen ages 2) they have to invest money into making grassroots football cheaper - it's bizarre that it's...

    the problem at professional level is that referees don't referee contact avoidance, and the game is played at such pace that minor contacts to cause major differences where they wouldnt necessarily do so at kid or amateur level - and small advantages are going to be manipulated either way (if...

    this is the thing intent doesnt matter in football at all unless the contact is truly innocuous (like a clash of heads) if you enter a contact situation and you happen to get it wrong (even without intent) you are at risk of punishment depending on severity

    at least with guys like keyon martin you could see it - you could see some pro level traits (even if he was deficient in other places... hence why he was udfa), i wasnt a fan of higgins but at least you could see how quick he was to read, his processing was good but he has to overcome his...
