Micah Parsons is a problem to be dealt with. He could easily fit any scheme. Dallas lined him up as a DE on passing downs. They also played him at OLB. They called it the Joker role. I've seen instances where they played him at 3Tech on a run down and the OG and center both wiffed. He's a top tier athlete with instinct, elite quickness and top end speed. I said my piece about building Superbowl teams and I'll stick to it. I'm just not going to stand by and listen to he is not a scheme fit or would be a situational player. That's simply nonsense. Dude is a stud.

I would prefer Jared Verse over Rome.

💯 The Superbowl teams don't buy edge rushers anymore. The days of getting a Charles Haley or Reggie White are over. Pay the offense, draft the defense.

This is the crossroad. Braxton is 26 and a three year starter. I'd imagine that several teams would love to have him. IMO, we would love to be one of those teams. Of course there are factors in play, like health and play. If health is good, his play should continue to ascend. Like I said a month ago, if he's the worst starting OL on the team, that's not a bad thing. Jordan Mialata was that once. IMO the only thing that pushes him out the door is one of the youngsters and it's not like either had a first round grade. It's the best of both worlds of they do.

I don't agree with this. Kmet is a proven veteran and was paid according to his value. Regardless of the Loveland pick he has a place on this team. If you look at the TE payroll it is not out of line with what anyone is paying. I would actually consider it a value for a position of strength. That won't change next year either. Moving on to Braxton Jones: he is clearly in a crossroads. Looking at our roster, the need for four OT's is real. The given fact that it's easier for an OT to play OG is easier than than the other tells us it's a good thing to have four. Braxton should stay unless we get a good deal for him. It's good being in the catbird seat for once. I like the bargaining chips we have at OL for once.

I would be impeached for various reasons...🤣

I watch GMFB and the FS1 daily and get gaslighted constantly. I pick out the info and discern. The latest narrative they are constantly trying to push is the Coleston Loveland is Sam LaPorta thing. BJ has consistently said that he is going to Taylor the offense to the talent he has. He has also said he loves the way the Patriots used to give you something new every week, with mixing up heavy doses of run or pass depending on the opponent. Can't we just call Loveland the unique weapon he seems to be. The combo of him and Kmet should be nasty. The Steelers did the same thing when they brought in Jonnu Smith with to pair with Friehermuth. Also, we have seen the deadly pair of Andrews and Likely in Baltimore. Who are they to tell us what our team is going to do with what player? They honestly don't know shit compared to our local coverage people. I'll take the word of J Hood, Jurko and Waddle any day over the takes of the national people. They have know clue of our depth and development process. Have y'all ever seen the parrot compilations of the media, saying person X is a threat to our democracy? Same shit with national football coverage. Tune them out and listen to the local and/or independent dudes...

In those pressers foods of questions get used. It's plausible that ten questions were asked that encompassed everything she was going to ask. Then, it's makeup a question because I'm next. It's easy to ask Jarrett a locker room question because he's a locker room guy. Nobody is perfect...

My bad. I didn't see the sarcasm. When in English Comp, they taught us that the written word is way easier to construe than the spoken, due to inflection, body language and facial expression.

What's the use of finding the podcasts? She said trying and price was too high. Game over.

Same. I think she's fantastic.

We need to remember, BJ said "get comfortable with being uncomfortable". With athletics and military, there is a tear down and build up phase. It's how greatness is built. I live being uncomfortable for once...

That's a great find AZ. This is also precisely why PFT sucks. They have no idea what the play call and/or protection was when they write performance.

💯 It's coaching 101. Nobody is bigger than the mission. BJ wants excellence on execution.

Waddle was at practice today and echoed some of the expectation of excellence. He personally saw BJ chew Caleb's ass in front of the starting offense. He says he hasn't seen that type of command since Lovie. Of course, he said Lovie had his own way with established vets like Olin and Url to keep everyone in line. He also commented on the leadership of Grady Jarrett, saying he did burpees when other players were being punished. Love it!

Definitely balls out for the best edge we can get. They are ridiculous to pay these days. Gotta come from the draft!

I agree with most of this. Generally, if you can get it from the front four, it makes the rest better. Until we see it from the front we won't be as effective as it weakens the secondary efforts.

You forgot to mention how those Superbowl teams got their sacks. Front four. For us to generate pressure, we had to blitz at a higher rate than the defense was built for. The result was a regression from the previous year. Do I see a stronger DL? Yes. Do I see it translate to pass rush with the front four? Maybe. While I enjoy the optimism, I'm gonna keep it real until I see it.

Yes. And to Stinger's point; Poles usually doesn't divulge anything unless he has to or wants to. Respecting his vet's privacy.

Poles said it was a training injury and he'll be another three weeks out.

Braxton is a full go per Poles. Open competition on left side per Johnson.

JJ has a really good arm. (Not elite) I've seen it in person. Quick release and very accurate in tight windows with good zip. My comparison is an athletic Curt Cousins and/or Matt Ryan.

Run your mouth when you've done something is kind of an unwritten rule when it comes to respect. This team has done nothing to talk about. If it is about culture change, I'm in. Hopefully, it's just depth.

Not sure if you heard, but ESPN 1000 put together a trip to Vegas for the Raiders game. The whole cast is going plus Briggs, Thayer and Joniak. Private tailgate and swag. And Mongo is going! Wifey hooked me up for an early big 6-0 gift. If interested, look at TrueFan Travel...
