I would be pretty surprised if we didn’t have a productive rookie on our hands here. Daniels to Sinnott is going to be eye-opening

So glad to not be a laughingstock anymore. The Patriots hired Mayo without a real hiring process—he was Kraft’s choice all along. Joke of an owner dragged along by Brady and Belichick, spends this entire offseason smearing Belichick just to hire another “Patriot’s Way” sycophant (but one who will kiss his ass) with no real competition for the job. Drafts a franchise QB with Mayo and Eliot Wolf (not given the GM title) making the decisions. After the draft, with a coaching staff and a rookie franchise QB already chosen…now Kraft is holding interviews for a GM. What?

Yes when I called the NFL player a tiny pansy and speculated that an NFL team running a defensive scheme that calls for tiny pansies may want to trade for him, I was being deadly serious. They’ll have to find him in order to trade for him though—they must look at him straight-on lest he turn sideways and disappear!

This is the second time you’ve posted your theory that these monsters who have to eat professionally in their off-time to stay large and fat enough to even play their positions don’t actually need to be coming off the field. Everyone kinda ignored it the first time you said it recently but I just feel like I have to bluntly say that imo you’re just wrong. Or the entire NFL is wrong. But I’m banking on you being wrong. Our talented DL has gotten noticeably less effective and more injured when they’ve had to play more and more snaps. Payne has had a season or two where he was an exception but that’s extremely rare. These guys are mostly not even meant to be the size and strength they are. An insane amount of work goes into it, and the cardio takes a hit. I think it’s admirable to question common sense on long held beliefs in this league but this one imo clearly has merit. The best DL’s are those that can rotate in talented depth and keep the energy high

Since we’re looking for violent run-and-hit players in our scheme, I wonder if we can trade him to a team whose defensive scheme now requires tiny pansies. A straight swap, perhaps.

Tress Way’s been great during our down years. How much does that mean to me? Not that much, hate to say. A Punter can’t make a jersey number “significant” to me. It’s just not possible. Maybe performing at an elite level during a Super Bowl run would do it, I doubt we find out. Even #5 I still associate more with the horrors of McNabb than I do with Way’s very good punting.

I think @Llevronwas just referencing how every action Daniels was taking before the draft was being interpreted as him wanting to go elsewhere because he hated us lol, so the fact that he finally has a public appearance without the Commanders hat he’s been constantly seen in since draft night, that must mean he’s back to hating us!! And none of us are talking about it!!1! lol if my interpretation is right, it just didn’t land bc it requires realizing he’s referencing those two stupid ongoing twitter jokes, for his to make sense edit: I see my phone didn’t update the thread and we are now 3 hours past this event and it’s already been talked to death lol

I think there’s a non-zero chance that Peters, coming from SF, along with Kingsbury think there is a viable way to account for a mediocre at best OL via scheme: Daniels releasing the ball quickly (and using RB’s and TE’s heavily) can take a lot of the pressure off of himself. We’ve seen it before—Cousins coming in when the OL looked terrible in 2013, Brissett last year.

You just repeated what I said, we are in agreement on the story lol You may want to delete this, the new sticky from Jumbo specifies not to talk about the looks of player’s wives, girlfriends, etc. FYI. Trying to keep things family friendly. I tried to keep my commentary about the Dax Milne/Zach Wilson purely academic for that reason lol

They need to not let this kid touch the field until his foot is 100%. 105% even. I don’t want to be going into next offseason saying “and don’t forget about Newton, we haven’t seen him in the NFL yet but that’s like having an extra 1st rounder added to the roster this year!)

Pretty cool look behind the scenes. Hope we eventually get some of this regarding our trade back with the Eagles. Things that seem clear from this: 1. Sinnott was our only guy at that pick we had to have 2. Damn the Jets loved Corley, and it was really tough for them to get anyone to move back to 72 from the mid-50’s. Shows how much value teams placed on that area of the draft, where we managed to get up to 53 from 78 due to our 40 —> 50 trade back. Makes that deal look even more slick from Peters, that was an extremely coveted tier of players.

In the context of an experienced and long-tenured scout, that would tend to make me think that he didn’t “love” anyone at QB at that time. I don’t think guys like him fall in love that easily before they have a chance to dig in, especially given how process-oriented we know he is.

He already told that part of the story lol, the rest of it is that he called his wife and told her what a stud Peters was
