Have not made it to Fossil Butte. Lots of other places, but never there. This year our trip home was through Monument Valley, Goodenecks SP, Valley of the Gods, Natural Bridge NP, Utah Routes 95 and 12, Goblin Valley, Bentonite Hills, Factory Butte, Moonscape Overlook, Burr Trail, Hell’s Backbone Groll, and Kiva Koffeehouse. Last year we went home via the Palouse in Eastern Washington. That would have been a great time to take in Fossil Butte. Maybe next year.

Super cool. We did one of those trips 10 years back and made it to Monument which we loved plus a bunch of other places. One little fun spot is Ten Sleep, WY with ranching area and Bighorns just nearby. My college friend has a ranch about 45 mins south of there. Pretty cool part of the world.

That's fine if the overall production increases and he doesn't throw a bunch of idiot red zone ints.

Of all the things to complain about with Hurts, ball security isn't one of them. Guy is one of the best in the league in TD:Turnover ratio. He's shown he can be a top tier game manager. I'm completely fine with him taking extra risks in meaningless practices and preseason games because I know when it counts he typically makes good decisions.

Darnold was 25/14 last season. Just over 4,000 yards. That a good target?

Rather see a few more TDs in that case. Hurts had 25 TDs last year and only 6 ints.

Oh year for sure. No issues there. He's been great with that. The only exceptions were the latter part of '23 when everything fell apart and he had to throw it up (not his fault) and then the pre buy games in '24 when he had 4TDs and 4INTs and seemed to force thing a bit.

Courts recognizing the fact that college football has become like the NFL in that it is manned by professional athletes.

I really believe AJ had hamstring issues last year, hence the kid gloves with Smith and Lemon. Quite possible that Nolan pushing through early and aggravating the muscle tear is influencing the Greenard approach.

Is there a coach in the league that delegates this to an assistant? I've never seen anyone other than the coach throw the flag.

New rule this year

New rule this year

Thanks. Missed that. What a weird rule. Not sure who intends to do this aside from circumstances like an injury or something that makes it difficult for them to throw it.

Beginning to like Wicks

Wicks is an excellent receiver...other than drop issues. If he's fixed that he'll be a gem. Even a plus blocker with a mean streak. I'm cautiously (naively) optimistic about him this year, but nothing can kill chemistry like a few bad drops so tbd

Which is also no coincidence. You get essentially extended unrestricted finishing school leading to complete control over IR with a hangnail and the ability to then open up the roster spot when needed.

Exactly. But, carrying him on the roster kept him on the field, with the coaches, working on the thing he needs to work on the most... technique. Uar doesn't need to work out with the trainers, he needs to work with the coaches, and he can't do that on IR. The nice thing is that the expanded PS rules lowers the stress on roster spots due to injury.

Unanimous consensus from the reporters so far that AJ Brown is struggling yet again after struggling yesterday. He might be washed.
