Having said that, I recall commenting back then, that he flashes when he blitzed, he didn't blitz much but when he did he was quick and elusive.  Not really having pass rushing moves but he was good at finding a crease and taking off.

 

We could have gotten that from Ivan Pace Jr and for a lot cheaper 🙂 I was not high on him for his physical limitations, which proved to be overblown but it was obvious he could get downhill as well as anyone.

According to David Harrison Dyami had a good practice overall yesterday.    In terms of the one he beat Forbes on

Not especially inspiring

Thanks to everyone for posting info in the thread for me. My father in-law passed away a couple of days ago. So I have been pretty busy. Love finding a few minutes to take my mind off of life. It is appreciated. 

I lost my brother in 1993 and I'm not a religious zealot by any means but several instances have occurred since over the years that I believe were my brother reaching out to me trying to let me know everything is okay. I believe we all will see our loved ones again. I really do.

I think peters got this one right too.

I hope so and thus far, for me anyway, he has been impressive with his actions, but the questions surrounding Kliff are warranted IMO.

I’m not gonna post anymore on the topic. I want him to succeed as much as anyone. I just don’t understand why there isn’t more skepticism here in regards to his abilities.

Spot on. I just listened to Matt Harmon & Andy Behrens (Yahoo) discuss that very thing. They listed him as someone in serious need of a reboot career wise. They like the pieces he has to work with especially heaping praise on B Rob and Terry, but they're legitimately concerned about Kliff's role and ability to be successful with his style.

In two years this guy has 1 catch for 3 yards.

 

What is it about him that you find interesting?

I've been studying the draft for a while now pretty closely and I've liked him ever since he came out of Texas Tech. I think he just needs an opportunity and although we now have Luke, he is the type of WR IMO this offense could use.

Too bad we cannot swap Dyami Brown for the Dolphins Erik Ezukanma at the same time.

Side note, Maye wasn’t listed under “most likely to bust”, he’d have been my choice

Me too.

So happy the Orioles have finally transformed into a winning franchise again. I hope they win it all this season for my Dad who will turn 80 in August and born and raised in Baltimore. One thing that is perplexing to me and seems like a huge mistake is not trying to go ahead and extend Gunnar like yesterday.

Was watching one the other day and thought to myself - why are they allowed to do this?

It used to be illegal back in the day as were stock buybacks. Oddly enough - it's just the U.S. & New Zealand that allow drug companies to directly advertise like this.

I understand people don't like big pharma.  But I'm having a hard time blaming them for this issue.  I guess there is some over lap between them and the food industry, but at some level, this is the result of personal choice, stupidity, and political will.

My biggest issues with Big Pharma:

Entirely too much influence and control over a medical doctor's education and practice

End the public subsidies and cease all T.V. advertising and tax gifts - all while fleecing Americans with the highest drug costs in the world

Too much indemnity and that also needs to end

Unsurprising in the least that Snyder is a Trump fanboy who partake in the same scumbag circles. 

J.J. McCarthy is someone I will be keeping tabs on this season.

I hope we dont have a 3rd headed backfield

Me neither. I expect Kingsbury to use B Rob much like he did James Connor & Ekeler a souped-up version of Edwards in the pass game. I do not want a predictable offense or defense. So tired of that.

My thumbs down was on your post saying Wylie is average and the line last year was average.  And the fans were just protecting Howell.  The next post disagreed and I felt no need to repeat what has been said sooooo many times.

 

I totally disagree with your take.

Just found out we signed LB Mykal Walker. I've no idea how well he has fared but I really liked him coming out of Fresno State.

AUSTIN EKELER & BRIAN ROBINSON HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE ONE OF THE BEST RUNNING BACK DUOS IN THE NFL

https://atozsports.com/washington/commanders-austin-ekeler-brian-robinson-best-running-back-duo/

Ekeler and Robinson are a great fit and have the potential to be a lethal duo

It's due to the fact that both players bring a different running style/game to the table at different sizes. Ekeler is the smaller, quicker back at 5-foot-10, 200-pounds and Robinson is listed at 6-foot-1, 228-pounds. 

The key with both, though, as explained earlier, is they can catch the ball. That will keep defenses honest when either on the field. It won't be like a, let's say, Derrick Henery-Tyjae Spears deal where the chances of a run increase exponentially when Henry is on the field due to his lack of effectiveness in both pass pro and as a receiver.

He was overdrafted

That's an understatement for me, friend. Jamin and Forbes were ridiculous reaches in the 1st round. 

I'm still fairly confident Biden will win though I'm deeply troubled with the state of our nation. IMO, we're a smoldering dumpster fire and have been going in the wrong direction with the pedal to the floor over the past 5 decades. 

Olive Garden was a favorite of one of our beloved and missed moderators Zoony

Only really remember Kerry. Mind blown knowing that he was on a prosthetic foot when I was watching him. 

The story behind that is something else. IIRC, he lost the foot because he wanted to go out for a hamburger or something like that and injured it so severely it needed to be amputated. 

Lol, looks like SEAL training.

Watching the Iron Claw on HBO...really great.  Had to stop partway through to finish up work this afternoon but plan on finishing it later today or tomorrow.

 

When the **** did Zac Efron become a pretty good actor?

Love watching the Von Erich's growing up.

Okay NOT us, but look at this name:

 

I like Chig, but I was hoping Storm would have been on our radar too.

🤷‍♂️ @RWJ wanted us to draft Hartman in the late rounds

That's right. Kudos RWJ.
