I don’t get this love for aiyuk as a first rounder. I like him in the second but I’ve seen him as high as 21. I don’t see him as top 5 receiver in the class. 

I feel like we've pretty consistently heard that teams are higher on him than general population through this whole process. We'll see.

I think you’re completely off base. 

Why, because I don’t buy the media speculation in the heart of the leagues misinformation period?   Because I am skeptical to a lot of Twitter speculation? Because I was on BGN and saw what Eskin takes from teams management for what it was, Eakins’ speculation? Even Schefter posts at this time a year need to be viewed with a jaundiced eye.  I think with the social distancing this year, there is even less leaking and hallway conversations and much more likelihood of subterfuge than normal.

Hats off to you, sir.  I give compliments very rarely, but you've done a superb job with this board.  

Can I second that.  We haven't missed a beat. @VaBeach_Eagle you did us EMB users such a great service that I hope doesn't go unnoticed.

Honestly living out here in Arizona watch a ton of Arizona and asu football. Have good connections to the uofa. The coaches at Arizona like aiyuk but all of them said when they had to face shenault they were much more fearful of him and his ability. They were thankful he was out this year in their matchup.

I wonder if Patriots would do a OJ Howard swap with TB

If Jason Licht has anything to do with it, very

BB must be rubbing his hands about Howard plus a pick for Gronk.

Oj howard could be traded and cheap. Frankly i think he has too much talent to play as poorly as he did last year.

Somehow the Patriots are going to come away with a steal of a player for Gronk.

How can people not like his attitude.

What I see in Reagor is explosiveness over speed.  He's just a rocked up spring.  Makes catches that guys who have 6" on him can't even make.

The more I've read about Reagor is how much a poor quarterback really effected him this past year.  What you don't like are the reports of his body language and the way he acted around the quarterback on the field. 

Definitely the edge in top end speed goes to Ruggs. I really value Reagor's body control and explosiveness in cuts. He creates serious separation quickly, which is something Wentz hasn't really had here. Then once he gets separation he has the ability to adjust, outjump defenders if the ball is underthrown, etc. He also has some drop issues, which is a major negative but I'm still a big fan. He'd be #4 on my board for the Eagles given what we need and our ability(?) to develop receivers. On another team in other circumstances I would have Mims or Jefferson over him.

Being skeptical is fine. You went way beyond that. Comparing Daniel Jeremiah to a Blogger is disrespectful to a guy we interviewed for a prominent front office position.

Yeah i feel like belichick gets oj Howard that he’s going to get him playing like most thought he would coming out of bama. Frankly i thought he’d be a stud. However Arians offense usually doesn’t rely on tight ends. If the patriots go with a rookie or stidham i could see him have a breakout season.

Obviously funds were set up to start this board?

How long is this sustainable for?  People going to have to keep dumping money into it? 

Good to know now so we can set up a funding mechanism that doesn’t leech like GoFundMe.

Finger wagging while not being a good CB is rather off putting.

I think people do like his attitude. I just think people don't like his attitude when he's been badly beaten and he's still finger wagging.

Meh.  He's pandering to the lowest common denominator of the fan base.  Those who still obsess about kelly green.  

Exactly.   

I’m find being pandered too about kelly green. I still yearn for that dream of rocking those lol

VABeach_Eagle paid for the commerce add on so we can actually have a donate button directly on this site like you see on igglesblitz. If needed.

Hes said hes hoping not to need anything. 

If something is needed, he would like to start by using ads that only guests see.

If he needs to make ads for everyone, itll be as unobtrusive as possible. 

 

As of now, we have enough to last a while unless this place ends up crashing during the first big event. Thursday is the first real test. 

Once the other EMB is gone, an event like a game day when all traffic will be here might be the ultimate test.

Yep, I can 100% see that happening.  Just who's throwing the ball in NE now?

Gronk and a 7th to the Bucs for a 4th.

Agreed with the others. He's actually got a nice attitude. It's his play that I haven't liked over the years

I haven't checked today, but as of last night, the donations were over $3,000. I spent around $1,000 on the initial setup. So that leaves around $2,000. 

I have the hosting account paid for for a full 12 months, the domain is paid for for a full 5 years and the software license renews every 6 months. 

So unless traffic is so heavy that we have to upgrade the hosting package (which is possible, when you think about gameday threads and things like the draft), we should be good for a while. But being forced to upgrade due to traffic, is definitely a possibility/concern. 

Thanks. If we need to anticipate, what would the upgrade cost?  Budgeting wise, what is the low and high to maintain each year? Budgeting for a fifth of the domain cost into that.

Currently stidham with i believe hoyer as the backup. I could see if Herbert falls moving up for him or someone like Eason from Washington. I know there’s been rumors about love and Herbert.
