So if Malik Jackson plays more at DE, should he ask for a raise ??

If he's the d.e. starter I wouldn't have a problem with him asking for a raise based on performance.

Any Electrical Engineers in the blog? I'm more of a CS guy but my oldest son is a Junior in HS and has expressed interest in EE.

Right now he's doing all his schoolwork online due to COVID restrictions and he tells me every day that he's done in 2-3 hours. He's got all As in advanced math and science classes and a couple Bs. I'm worried this pandemic is stunting his education and we both agree that if there's an option then let's supplement.

My middle son has been taking Udemy programming courses and I have him enrolled in comptia A+ for now. I want to enroll my oldest into an online course or two in basics/fundamentals of EE and am hoping someone has good suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Wish i could help my dad is an electrician among other things, ive been electrocuted once and thats the extent of my knowledge on the subject😄

That's not true. We have to read them. That said I honestly don't know what happened to them

Looks like a lot of posts were removed.  Anything political based and a few personal attacks.

Big V got beat 14 times in a scrimmage by a back up d-lineman that resulted in "sacks"?

Well, only one was remotely political. Apparently, the censors are too stupid to know the difference.

Been there.  Done that.  He's not interested in anything.  He hasn't eaten since Friday.  Took him in to get fluids, xray and bloodwork yesterday.  Taking him in again today to get results and next steps.  At least he's laying down now and not throwing up all over the house like sunday night.  

I hope he’s alright. I’ve been there before. Had a dog years ago who went through similar. Dropped 10 pounds in 4 days. Eventually stopped even going to the bathroom. We took him to 2 different vets. Eventually the 3 figured out he had advanced cancer of his colon. I’m hoping for your sake he starts feeling better. I’ve grown up with dogs being like family members. It’s hard and frustrating when you are doing everything in your power to figure it out and can’t.

Rank these LT options in order of preference:

1) Sign Reiff to a multi year deal

2) Sign Reiff to a 1 year deal

3) Sign another FA to try out at LT.

4) Let Pryor/Mailata/Driscoll battle it out for LT. Pray. 

5) Pay Peters to move to LT, use an in house replacement for RG

6) Pay Peters to move to LT, look for a free agent RG

Thought that was Pryor no?  Not that Mailata want struggling vs guys like Ostman and Sweat too but still.

Even if you start the season with Jason Peters at LT...he's not going to be playing every snap! So when he inevitability gets hurt, who goes in?

Why i would sign Reilly when the vikings release him and keep peters at RG. I think replacing peters at RG with pryor is a better solution then trying to replace peters at LT

Someone told me Hurts was injured but I didn't see anything when I googled him. Is he?

No, the point was others generate "sucky" posts without them being deleted. I was replying to a post from HE.

I don’t see anything on twitter about that

2 - Ideal if the cost isnt much. If it's north of $8M this drops

1 - Same stipulations. Insurance for next year would be nice but if not if its costly

3 - They need someone but no one really great out there 

6 - They need depth

5 - Not a bad option but leaves them thin

4 - No

Ideally i think Reiff would be the best option. Hes no all pro but hes solid and dependable. Pryor has no business being at LT or RT hes barely a guard. Mailata has all the physical ability in the world but is super inconsistent. One play he could pancake the whole d line and the next Wentz is on a stretcher in an ambulance😳 

Peters i think can be as solid as Reiff at LT except hes going to miss snaps every game and most likely games, who plays LT when hes out???

I cant imagine Driscoll is ready but id trust him over mailata or especially pryor.

Surprised Opeta hasnt got any looks at either tackle, he played LT in college, id give him a shot before pryor.

Lane Johnson hasn't practiced in over a week, since before Dillard got hurt.

Is it too far fetched to move him to LT and have Driscoll or Pryor play RT?  Would that just be stupid to move even more pieces?  Is RT still the obsolete position?  Protecting Carson's backside should be priority #1.  

Just thinking outside the box with this o-line mess.

It’s not as easy as just saying hey lane move to LT. He has to change every thing he does on the right hand side to his left. That takes practice and muscle memory. Could he do it? Yes. However he’d need to do it for more than likely 2 weeks before the season starts to get it down and be completely effective. If you were going to do that then probably should’ve asked lane to be working on it all offseason not do it a week before the season and hope He gets it down in 12 days. Furthermore now you are change 3 positions along the oline instead of two.

Oh you know what you are right, they moved Jordan over to r.t. because he sucked worse than Pryor. 

 

What great choices we have not named J.P. if I'm him I'm asking for more money too.

With the possible exception of swapping 1 and 5 I think this would be my order as well.

Well it is the eagles so it’s a possibility. Guy getting hurt with the name hurts and plays on the eagles.

Honestly kind of depend on the multi year deal is laid out for me. I’m guessing if they did a multi year deal it’s for 2 years max. And likely easy to get out of if need be or he’s a solid trade piece. Also gives me someone who can push dillard next year in competition and a security blanket in case he doesn’t look great coming back.

This.

I don't doubt JP could do it, But Pryor at RG is a known quantity.  One I'm good with at this point.
