If I have to pick one, I think we need Holcomb a tad more because there is no answer otherwise at the SAM position, especially because Bostic now has to stick to ILB without SDH around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do we roll our eyes collectively and just go "Dude, get it together. Don't do it again!"? Are any of us REALLY upset at signing a guy who has insider trading issues because he could help us get into the playoffs? We'd be way more upset at a senator who's been convicted of insider trading. A senator committing insider trading is much worse because they can write law that affects trading, whether directly or indirectly affects trading. This guy is most likely involved in selling info or paying for info. If someone approached you with a plan to collect money and buy a bunch of stocks and sell them before something you knew was going to happen crashed their price would you give him money to win? Actually don't answer that question! 😬 As far as the Mahomes thing - I wouldn't feel the same because Mahomes works his ass off. Take away the fact that Mahomes is a different level of player from Dwayne skillset wise, of those skills that that are learned or can at least be improved by learning I have no doubt Mahomes has put in so much more work than Dwayne that even if they were completely even Mahomes would be insanely more refined. It is obvious Mahomes works much harder than dwayne. Because of that of course I would give him a chance more than dwayne, not just because it makes sense from a purely data driven stance but because this year has sucked and its been really hard on everyone. I'd support Mahomes getting quarantined and docked his game checks but any suspension and stuff... I would leave that up to the people directly involved and the NFL with whatever their season rules are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a pandemic going out and doing that stuff right before the playoffs, but any time, is selfish. I’d be upset. Agreed. Also, arguably people would be MORE pissed because if he were to face punishment it would actually hamper our team. I guess one way to look at this positively is that we could suspend him and hardly miss a beat offensively (which is pathetic, but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holcomb was a full participant in yesterday’s practice according to Keim. So it’s looking good that he’ll suit up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I betcha Scary Terry will be back at practice tomorrow. Just a hunch because he has been battling that ankle injury for some time and I think they are just resting it. He mafe it through the whole game last week. I doubt Gibson plays much or at all if Giants lose. I agree that Burns and CMC not playing is huge. They also have nothing to play for which is huge as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dwayne were balling like Mahomes, I'd drive over to the hotel suite and shake my own ass in his face too. With a mask and proper face shield on, of course. Then I'd call my buddy Mychal for stock tips to invest the singles I brought home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
