  1. That is clever, funny, and quite frankly a nickname that just might stick if both of them blow up this year. It's too bad Cheeseman got cut though. If he was still here we could go for the...wait for it... McDouble with cheese. <groans>
  2. Jayden best be careful messing around with "love 'em and leave 'em" Hartman. He's the kind of dude you don't bring home to meet your girlfriend. Unless you don't mind when she suddenly sends you to the grocery store to get a bag of ice and some Cheetos, then you get back and there's a note on the dining room table saying, "Sam and I decided to go out and get better acquainted. No need to wait up."
  3. Zach Ertz on Daniels, "...(his) talent kind of jumps out at you...the arm talent is there, but also he really, really cares about this...he wants to be as good as he can possibly be...I'm really impressed..." Hh .
  4. Kingsbury on Daniels and the offense... Bb Coverage of today's rainy minicamp. Jayden seemed just as accurate and comfortable in the elements as he did in perfect conditions last week... Hh .
  5. Da boss wit' all da mumbo sauce! Cc Everybody's #1 source for hot takes, good old Hot Take Freddy in the house... Gg Gg
  6. Now that, dear friends, is the true power of positive rhinking! You are my kinda guy KB13! I was reading all these worse and "worserer" injury recovery time posts, and feeling down and "downerer" after each one. Then your post popped up, and it was like mainlining Colt 45 directly past the blood brain barrier and right into my neocortex-- spirits completely lifted! 👍
  7. First, a quick Sunday morning ESPN coffee break analysis of the rookie mini-camps of four of the first five qbs, taken off the board, excluding only Drake Maye. (NOTE: There's a separate video of Maye's very, very, interesting rookie mini-camp experience, posted below this one, that I highly recommend. In fact, if you only have enough time to watch one of the two, the Drake Maye mini-camp video is definitely worth watching most.) Now on to Drake Maye's fascinating minicamp experience. In a very illuminating video of the Patriots rookie mini-camp they were amazed with the howitzer-like arm and surprising accuracy of late round qb Milton who has literally become the talk of camp, while third overall pick, Drake Maye, clearly struggled and was described as a bit "robotic", somewhat "inaccurate", and in "need of a lot of work" especially with his feet, in his professional debut... As we all know, early impressions good or bad in shorts and tee shirts with no pads just ain't football and mean next to nothing in the long run. However, there's something comforting, all the same, when your newly acquired rookie qb has a promising start to his career, while the quarterback selected one pick after him is struggling mightily. .
  8. Basically same thing from a different source only Russell seems to think a procedure needs to be done. Yikes! @TheShredder, if they do the same surgery on the other foot is he likely done for the majority of the season?
  9. Wright has already put in an order for a custom 30 foot neon sign to be posted in the stadium saying: "THANK YOU DARRELL GREENE FROM ALL OF US"
  10. The first time your mind is blown and you were drunk anyway. So after awhile you start to think--Did I really see what I thought I saw? Cuz that just ain't humanly possible. So a few months later you go again-- just for scientific purposes. A case study. See if it was mass hypnosis or a hallucination... Well it wasn't. lol As for the third time... I'm flat out of excuses. 😆
  11. Wow, what a friggin debut! Is this really happening? Have we possibly stumbled on the holiest grail of grails-- a charismatic qb capable of leading us to the Lombardi promised land? Am I dreaming? If I am, I'm gonna stay asleep as long as I possibly can.
  12. The bygone "daze" and errors of a tragically misspent youth, that eventually resulted in the forthright upstanding and honorable man who humbly stands before you. 🤪
  13. So does that mean another 6 to 9 months, beginning when he put on the boot? If so, this season may end up being the pro equivalent of a red shirt year.
  14. I spent some time in Escondido, California. Weekends were "wasted" across the border at a bar called Adelita's that was famous for a lot of things-- none of which had much to do with drinking. On a few occasions the more adventurous of us, including sailors on leave from the naval base in San Diego, would be invited to go on an excursion to even more "interesting" and unique venues. I'm very familiar with the original donkey show.
  15. Everything you said, as always, when it comes to the medical field, injuries, etc is true and accurate. Uhm, I just felt I needed to mention that my complete post was just a joke. Even the part about Keim saying the surgery went well was just part of the setup.
  16. I've been to 3 county fairs, 5 rodeos, over a dozen rollercoaster and even seen a donkey show or three in my day, but I ain't ever laid eyes on anything as authentically rambunctiously entertaining as what them boys of ours done got themselves into today! Yee haw! Me thinks this Quinn guy might just be on to something. Part of me is so used to things falling bad in the worst way when it comes to this team that I want to hold on to my skepticism to protect myself but the bigger part of me is whispering... "release the birds... go ahead just let 'em fly watch 'em soar to the heavens and relish every damn moment of it..."
  17. Nothing to worry about. Keim just reported that the doctor said the procedure went smoothly, and all indications are that Newton should be ready for the start of the season, or shortly thereafter. In fact, Newton was feeling so spry and energetic after the surgery that he went out on the town last night, and even decided to dance on his newly reconstructed "walking appendage"... Yep all those years of bad luck and voodoo curses on our draft picks are a thing of the past. .
  18. Tge Extremeskins bylaws require that we all have to stake a training camp claim on a non-first round rookie as a potential breakout star. I was gonna hop on the Jer'Zhan "He Plays Nasty" Newton bandwagon, but it's filled to overflowing abd they wouldn't let me on board. So as of today I'm officially staking my claim, for this year's surprise breakout rookie star of training camp, on young Lucas Jebediah McCaffrey. Don't let me down kid!
  19. I liked this cat within 5 seconds of hearing him talk for the first time and the more he talked the better I felt. As an original old school Beach boys fan-- he gives off "good vibrations"...
  20. McCaffrey will look good coming out of the slot with 12. Jean-Baptiste with 90 has a strong looking number. Newton with 95 works too. At first glance nothing really looks wrong to me. Let's start hitting!
  21. Tress Way has come full circle. A man's man. A consumate professional. A man with honor, dignity, and pride. A man of rare character, who in this decision, as in all others he has made during his illustrious career, always put the interests of the team, above his own. May Jayden one day prove himself to have been deserving of the gracious sacrifice of the man whose number he now wears proudly on his back. CITR XXXXXXX News | Washington Commanders - Commanders.com Tress Way explains why giving No. 5 jersey to Jayden Daniels was 'the right thing' May 09, 2024 at 07:44 PM Zach Selby Tress Way has been one of the Washington Commanders' most reliable players since he joined the team in 2014. He's a four-time captain, a two-time Pro Bowler and a fan favorite because of his personality and production. All of that was done while wearing No. 5. The Commanders are starting a new era and added a pivotal piece to their future by taking LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick. He was one of the most dynamic players in college football last year, winning the Heisman Trophy for hitting career-highs in completion rate (72.2%), passing yards (3,812), passing touchdowns (40) and rushing yards (1,134). Daniels also happens to wear No. 5. Head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Adam Peters gave Way time to think about what to do with his jersey number, but with rookies reporting for minicamp and joint OTAs around the corner, a decision needed to be made. In the end, with a little negotiating between the two players, Way decided to pass the jersey number on to Daniels, meaning that he'll be sporting a different number for the first time in over a decade.

Command Center | Exclusive Interview with Jayden Daniels "I just feel like there's just so much excitement around this organization, hands down the most I have ever seen," Way said on the most recent episode of Command Center. "All of the excitement [is] building and building and building. I just feel like this is...a very small part that I could do." Way has come full circle with passing on the jersey to Daniels since the rookie joined the team. He originally declined to give it away "right out the gate" because of the connection he had with the number. He felt wanted for the first time in his career when Washington picked him up off the waiver wire following his release from the Bears. The No. 5 felt right to Way from the moment he picked it, and since then he's been not just one of the better punters in the league but the most consistent player for Washington in the past 10 years with a touchback rate of 6.2%, an average of 46.9 yards per punt and 37.7% of his punts landing inside the 20-yard line. .
  22. I expect a big exodus now that the draft has ended and the scout hiring/firing season has begun. With what our recent drafts have failed to produce, AP could do a clean sweep of everybody, and I wouldn't complain. In with the good air, out with the bad.
