eagle45 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 3 minutes ago, DeathByEagle said: Exactly why it is a waste of time. Its basically people playing both teams in madden and doing unrealistic trades. The only way that mock works is someone being realistic with themselves. All these mocks with 4, 5, 6 trade downs etc is just not going to happen. 2 or 3 trade downs in the first round alone, again not going to happen. i guess they think its fun to play the unrealistic GM game. They are all casting for the sequel to Draft Day. Kind of a fun movie, but drafting a rb and a 5’9” actor LB top 10 ruined it for me. Of course, that probably was Cleveland’s best ever draft.

BG plays the run very well and is underrated by most, but the easiest measurable and tell all when it comes to a DE...how many sacks does he have. BG's style of play is why I think he will be OK a few more years here if they extend him to lower his hit. Or... you can watch the games and see 'impact'. 12 hours ago, Desertbirds said: I logged onto the blog this morning only to learn that Social Darwinism is still alive. Damn!

I feel like hart being young with how last year went then less offseason and everything it probably messed with his whole routine. Can use that excuse for other guys but young goaltender i feel like it may have affected him. I tend to believe at some point he’ll get in a groove and going. It doesn’t help i don’t think our defense has been as good as it was last year with niskanen. Niskanen in the bubble struggled but before that he played well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their next 2 first round picks, 9 overall, 2nd round, 2022 1, ownership in the team...you name it, they’ll give it.

eagle45 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Jack Leiter, son of former all-star Al Leiter, is the #1 pitching (and overall) prospect in the MLB draft. He's not quite a generational prospect in the pure sense (that word gets thrown around a lot), but he's better than your consensus top of the draft pitcher in most years. It's very surreal to me that he went to my HS and played my position. I like to tell people he's the best pitcher they've had since I graduated. Of course, he only throws about 13mph harder with immeasurably superior accuracy...and I'm pretty sure a couple guys in the interim have had more success than my college walk-on status at a school that averaged 5-10 fans per game.

eagle45 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Instead of going with Lurie's ridiculous 4th and 15 proposal, why can't we just fix the onside kick? Lurie's proposal is a random gimmick to keep games interesting and volatile in the 4th quarter and degrades the competitive structure of a game. The onside kick is part of the DNA of football. If the onside kick has become meaninglessly futile, then tweak it to bring it back to relevance. That's what hockey does with goalie pads, baseball does with the pitching mound when things get out of whack. Change where teams line up, the running start, etc. Don't make it a 50/50 proposition...it's supposed to be a long shot, but you can still bring it back to relevance. Again, a kickoff signifies a live ball (after a certain distance is traveled) that is open for possession. Part of the rulebook DNA of the game. A contrived option for 4th down after a score? Gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimmick. Agreed. With the proposed kickoff rule and the ridiculous Ravens OT rule proposal, teams are just trying to invent minigames within a game. They say the onside kick is for player safety but I can’t ever recall anyone getting hurt on an onsides kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just need to allow the running start for onside kicks and continue to ban it on standard kickoffs for safety reasons. The spot and choose thing is something right out of the XFL.

I'm not, I tried to explain that. I'm just going based off of sacks because let's be honest. You trade up for a pass rusher, not a defensive end who plays the run well. I'm not taking anything away from BG, he's as solid as they come, great against the run etc. Was just trying to show that Mamula isn't the collosal bust.
