  1. ^This. You can't look at Brady the wrong way without a flag being thrown. A lot of the other QBs in the league need to be mugged before a flag will even be considered.
  2. That shows how subjective the draft is. I would be extremely disappointed if we pass on Strong to take Gurley. There will be RBs available from the 3rd round onwards that will be able to do almost as good a job as Gurley.
  3. I'm pretty sure we all came to the conclusion that Ngata would take a pay cut or he was gone. I have to say I didn't think anyone would trade for him but fortunately the Lions were desperate after losing Suh and Fairley and they made the trade. Webby also took one for the team with a pay cut. I believe we get something done with Joe or we trade him. There will be multiple teams lining up with a fistful of draft picks if we give any inkling that Joe is available and I guarantee you the first call will have a Denver caller id.
  4. Isn't Tyrod getting $3+mill a season in Buffalo?
  5. I'm still in shock over the airplane crash in France. I can't believe the copilot could be so cowardly. By all means take your own life if you really feel the need to but to take 149 innocent people with you is just a despicable act and I hope he burns in hell for eternity.
  6. ^pretty much this. Each year I get a good feel for certain players that are realistic for us but Gregory isn't one of them this year.
  7. I do not want Gregory. I watched a true freshman G/C playing LT shut him down in his bowl game. No thanks. I would be totally shocked if he amounted to anything great in the pros.
  8. What I like about this draft is that a lot of the 1st round talent seems to be about equal after the first 5 picks. For that reason I think it's almost impossible to pick who we will get. Someone unexpected almost always seems to fall to our pick or Ozzie pulls a trade to go up or fall back to a spot he is comfortable getting who he wants. I just hope that the QBs including Hundley, the pass rushers (none of them scream elite to me) and O-Linemen go early thus pushing a top CB, TE or WR to our pick.
  9. Just says early round without any specifics: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/24449870/combine-unc-ailing-lt-james-hurst-to-work-out-at-pro-day
  10. I like this site but unfortunately they only show his ranking post injury which they had him pegged as 5th -6th round. I had seem him pegged as a 2nd rounder before his injury based in large part from shutting down Clowney in a game. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/players.php?genpos=OT&draftyear=2014&sortby=tsxpos&order=ASC&startspot=10
  11. And another black character bites the dust. The writers are either racist or the walkers find ethnic minority flesh tastes better
  12. I don't see any negatives from either side. It was a Win WIn deal for both sides. We got Ngata's cap number off the books and got 2 valuable mid round picks. The Lions got a pro bowl DT to fill the hole left by Suh and Fairley. There were no D-Linemen available on FA to fill that role and there is no one in the draft at the point the Lions will be picking that is as good as Ngata. You know it's a good deal when both sides Win.
  13. I understand what these guys are thinking. If they have made enough money to live out their lives comfortably then why subject their body to the stresses of an NFL season. Get out why you still have your health and can enjoy what you have earned. That said, Worilds retirement seems a little early.
  14. I don't think Locker's retirement had any bearing on what the Titans are doing as they weren't going to resign him anyway. They had already moved on from Locker and are behind Mettenberger as their starter. I think they either trade down or take Leonard Williams.
  15. Joe's agent has said before that he knows Joe's deal was really only a 3 year deal. They just wanted the headline figures. Joe is a smart guy. He knows he will still make plenty of money and that for the interests of the team and him (for both his health and his numbers) some of the money he makes would be better spent making sure he has some protection and some weapons to throw to. I will be totally shocked if he doesn't sign a cap friendly extension before free agency next offseason.
  16. I'm not surprised we haven't extended him. Isn't he one accidental illegal supplement away from a year long suspension? He is on the downside of his career and we have young guys waiting to take over.
  17. How about this comparison: Jaelen Strong Ht. 6'2" Wt. 217 lb. Arm Length 32 1/2 in Hand Size 9 in 40 Yd. Dash 4.44 sec Bench Press DNP Vert. Jump 42.0 inch Broad Jump 123.0 inch Devin Funchess Ht. 6'4" Wt. 232 lb. Arm Length 33 1/2 in Hand Size 9 3/4 in 40 Yd. Dash 4.70 sec Bench Press 17 reps Vert. Jump 38.5 inch Broad Jump 122.0 inch Strong is a little smaller but faster and more explosive. He had good production in college and has good hands even if they are smaller than Funchess. Strong is no doubt a WR whereas Funchess is a tweener. I really want Strong if he is available. I think he is going to be great in the Pros.
  18. Not really a surprising move.
  19. They know what they have faced to survive and know how the answers should go. If the person doesn't answer them in the manner they expect they will know they can't trust them. For example, Aaron struggled to answer the question about killing the non dead. He did answer but you could see that he didn't like having to do what he did. It's almost more about the reaction and how they answer than what they answer with. It's just a way they try to judge can they trust someone. Aaron passes the test with flying colors. The first question about how many walkers they killed. If you know the number then you are likely a pyscho that kills the walkers out of sport rather than survival. You don't want to be around someone like that. I think we will see more reference to the questions as the story of Alexandria progresses.
  20. Jaelen Strong is my draft crush for this year. He's big, fast and has good hands. I love how he adjusts and plucks the ball out of the air. I think he is exactly what Joe needs.
  21. No RBs before the 4th unless we have a 3rd round compensatory pick. I'm not sure that any RBs go in the 1st round this year.
  22. They are just doing what every team looking for a new stadium deal has been doing. "Give us what we want or we are off to LA" The NFL is in on it. They want as many teams to get their deals before they actually put a team there. Then they can start the merry go round all over again with a team going to London.
  23. Tordeado? Wasn't there something like a Zombie Tornado in Z Nation?
