Magic is a man of his word. He promised Terry he would get together with him when they met at the new owners' introductory press conference and now they have... .

I wouldn’t count on that, and Forbes definitely better not. IF after multiple mini-camps, training camp, and pre-season games, Quinn, and his defensive staff, feel that Forbes is broken beyond repair, and he will never hack it in the NFL and AP tries to trade him, but gets no takers-- they will keep a more promising player on the roster and cut him without remorse. Message sent... No free, on the job, remedial training rides for anyone, under this regime. This aint Rivera, and his bumbling buffoon show, making decisions anymore. There's a new sheriff in town, and he's running a meritocracy. Spots will be earned-- without deference given to when, or even whether, players were drafted.

Rivera says he has NO REGRETS about drafting Chase Young over superstar QB Justin Herbert. Makes sense. Chase had outstanding position flex-- he could play DE or linebacker, (equally poorly). Whereas Herbert was relegated to just being an outstanding pro bowl qb, who doesn’t even play special teams, let alone another position. Those guys are a dime a dozen. .

Ha ha! Hey let's not let the facts interfere with a spit take worthy creative post. lol Good one @RandyHolt you got me good, but I enjoyed it all the same.

JP Finlay on Mitch Rales' (co-owner 2nd only to Harris) recent podcast where he discussed how they intend to rebuild the fan base after decades of neglect and mismanagement. Rales, to me, is first and foremost, an outstanding human being who happens to also be a great businessman. Those two things don't often go hand in hand. He's the perfect, behind the scenes, compliment to Josh Harris. A true mensch. .

My mind is boggled. That's almost impossible to imagine. He can just about touch his toes while standing up straight, without having to bend his waist. Maybe he's the next step in human evolution from homo sapiens to homo superior. Wow!

lol I guess post-draft, "o-line thread migration" has replaced "qb thread migration" as the new flavor of the season, (at least until Jayden actually gets in a game and throws his first interception 😄). The craziest thing is that this is a thread about a nickle corner-- how it morphed into o-line talk is completely beyond me.

Either pigs are flying or that devious s.o.b. Mike Florio is trying to reverse jinx our ass into a bad season. Guess who all of a sudden thinks we dominated the draft... Nn I still don't trust him. He's got something up his sleeve for sure! .

Hoffman interviews Standig on what took place behind the scenes of our draft...

Yeah, that last pick it sounded like he might have been crying. He was so happy and his family were really cheering hard. I wish we had video of that. It must be agonizing waiting through the whole draft hoping that somehow you might hear your name and then when a few pics are left and you've just about given up hope the phone rings. On the other end of the spectrum, I felt like Nasty Newton was pissed off that he didn't hear his name called until the second round.

Commanders just released the full video of all the draft day phone calls...

Thanks, bro! Looking forward to watching it when I get home.

I wonder if Jayden was a Ducks fan growing up?

Call me a sentimental old fool, but I can never get enough of these "we just drafted you!" videos. Here's a compilation of Peters welcoming each of our draft picks to their future... There's something about having a dream that you worked so hard at for years, and finally seeing it manifest that reawakens the essential "thing" inside of all of us that drives us to be more than just the sum of our collective parts. I guess it's kind of why I love hokey dream quest films like Rocky so much.

He is a great athlete and this regime definitely places a high value on athleticism. However, I think they value character, ethical behavior, being forthright, transparent, and fully accountable for your actions, even more, and there are significant indications that Jamin may well be critically deficient in those qualities.
