I just want one of them to find a good comp for the guy besides Lamar Lite, which he really isn't. Hey, maybe he's the next Steve Young with better speed, but nobody is saying that. To me he's just as risky a pick as Justin Fields or RG3, who I was fine with drafting with a single first rounder. Riddick can't be taken seriously. He's been more wrong on QBs than just about anyone that I've seen.

All the media guys are big mad today. Schefter’s fighting with McAfee, Breer is pissed about Vegas, Keim is salty as hell with people, and now Riddick tries to big boy this Twitter dude by pounding his chest about his knowledge of the “body of work” — and then conveniently providing one year’s worth of data out of a 5-year body of work. They are frustrated by this Daniels situation. They think it should be a done deal.

oh **** i totally forgot about that. I think he graduated from buckeyes… that michigan hate runs deep. thing is, i hate michigan too, but jj is special. when did logan set him straight? You gotta link for that? 👀

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I think this thread is the closest match I could find. Bill Belichick discusses how the new kickoff rules will lead to an emphasis on size over speed on special teams. Bill Belichick explains how new NFL kickoff rule will change which players will be on the field By Tyler Sullivan Apr 18, 2024•2 min read When the NFL kicks off the 2024 season, it's going to look drastically different. Earlier this offseason, owners approved a new kickoff rule for the upcoming year, which will feature up to 19 players lining up against one another from five yards apart. The kicking team will have 10 players lining up at the receiving team's 40-yard line, while at least seven players from the receiving team must have their foot on the 35-yard line. This creates massive intrigue for how various teams will look to deploy their personnel in this new formation. While he may not be lurking on the sidelines at the moment, Bill Belichick shared his thoughts on how this new change could impact who is actually on the field for kickoffs. "There will be more of an emphasis on size of players in the return game than speed," Belichick told the Pat McAfee Show, via Pro Football Talk. "You just need guys who can play at the point of attack, shed blocks, and defend their space because of the new alignment. So I think it will increase the size of the players that are on the field. And I do think that because everybody is spread across the field, if these returners, if they hit a little bit of space, they're gone." The receiving team can put two players back as returners in the "landing zone" and because most of the action will spark between the receiving team's 40 and 35-yard line, there's going to be plenty of opportunity for returners to break loose if they can find a lane. All this is an effort to make kickoffs a meaningful play again in the NFL because, as Belichick noted, "literally 90 percent of the kickoffs were going out of the end zone." The only thing Belichick did not like about the change was that it eliminated the ability to pull off a surprise onside kick. Given how much of a football savant Belichick is, it is a shame that he didn't come close to landing another head coaching gig following his parting of ways with the Patriots this offseason, as he'd likely be at the forefront of trying to find ways to best approach the new kickoff. In any event, it will be fascinating to see how the rest of the league decides to attack this rule change and who they put on the field to try and exploit it

These same kings who blew out the Warriors are getting their back blown out with no Zion. smh trash as warriors.

Seems like at that point we're getting pretty subjective, e.g., "pretty much mediocre" and "lived up to draft status." 5 out of 10 from current NFL starters is a pretty good-looking fact. Sorry it doesn't completely support the Daniels-will-almost-certainly-bust narrative. How dare you skip over RG3 at 14 and Sam at 34. Heathen!

How dare these people just sit there on the information highway looking for things people happen to be posting. They should be all picking their noses instead. <-- hey can anyone see my emoji? Did it come through for you all?

Haskins #60 and Jason Campbell #66. Yay us!

NY AG asks Trump civil fraud judge to declare $175M bond ‘without effect’ The New York attorney general’s office has asked a judge to void the $175 million bond former President Trump secured to put off paying the larger monetary damage award in his civil fraud case. State lawyers said in court filings Friday that the former president and his co-defendants — the Trump Organization and its top executives, including his two eldest sons — failed to prove the surety Trump used to obtain the bond actually has the money to back it. They also say the defendants did not show that “sufficiently secure and ascertainable” collateral backs the bond. “Based on the foregoing, the People respectfully request that the Court deny Movants’ motion to justify the surety, declare the Bond to be without effect and order that any replacement bond be posted within seven days, along with such other and further relief the Court deems necessary and appropriate,” lawyers with New York Attorney General Letitia James’s (D) office wrote in a 26-page filing.

Riddick got big mad about that one.

Judge denies Trump co-defendants' motions to dismiss charges in classified documents case U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday denied motions by two of former President Donald Trump's co-defendants to dismiss charges in the classified documents case. Trump aide Walt Nauta's lawyers asked this month for five charges against him to be dismissed, while lawyers for Carlos De Oliveira, who was the property manager at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida estate, requested that all charges against him be tossed out. In her filing in Florida, Cannon said De Oliveira "does not meaningfully dispute that the charging document satisfies the minimum pleading standards." She also noted that his lawyers can challenge prosecutors' evidence during a trial, "where the Special Counsel will bear the entire burden of proof as to all essential elements of the obstruction offenses." Similarly, she dismissed the motion from Nauta's lawyers, who had argued that obstruction charges against him were unconstitutionally vague. Click on the link for the full article

Which one’s the fanboy here? 🤔 And it’s pretty telling that Riddick’s response to someone questioning Daniels’ lack of pass attempts outside the pocket was to post… efficiency stats?

Not surprising. Most college QBs (especially younger ones) will need to work on their footwork at least a bit. Especially if they're coming from a less "NFL style" offense. If footwork couldn't be improved with coaching we'd see a hell of a lot more busts than we do. Footwork and mechanics were concerns with Mahomes, Allen, and Herbert as well. This is why that footwork/mechanics red flag for Maye doesn't scare me as much as some of the red flags on Daniels.

On a positive note... At least we got the requisite "He doesn't wanna be here's" out in the open much earlier than usual this time.

Odor in the court.

Not disagreeing with you as to the depth and clarity of the response. Just making the point that he’s technically correct, assuming that that’s what he was getting at. Which I’d already kinda wanted to do, because I find the “Daniels improved every single year” narrative as baffling as the “McCarthy beat Alabama with his arm when Michigan needed him to” narrative that I keep seeing. Actually, it’s still a little less baffling than the McCarthy-Alabama thing, because Daniels did improve his rushing production from 2019 to 2021 (and thereafter), which is something at least.
