He was MVP of the league last year....or should have been anyway.

I agree. It's still too many touches when you add to his carries.

My main battle right now is devising ways to keep birds, squirrels and those @#$! chipmunks from eating our tomatoes! Feel like Bill Murray in Caddyshack.

 

We had some livestock water tanks so we planted our tomatoes in them this year.  It seems to have solved our trouble with the wild critters getting into them.

63 targets for Sanders and Scott getting 27 looks in the air. 

Yeah,we had to use everyone in the passing game .So I am looking at fewer air targets and more ground snaps for Sanders and maybe a small increase in passing targets for Scott.Now that we(in theory) have a solid right side a few flare screens to Scott with that right side front,maybe a Goedert block as well on that play.I'm hoping we put in a few plays with Hurts on an option with Scott as the lone back.Gives Sanders and Wentz a breather,but still we can be effective when they are out a bit

I read an article that said the CDC would be happy with a vaccine that's 50% effective. I think i'll let you guys test it just in case. Anyone ever hear of Thalidomide? 

With the bar set that low we might be seeing an end of Pro sports.

Thalidomide was not a vaccine and drug testing was not as advanced in the 1950's as it is today. Re the Covid vaccines (there are 6 in trials I believe) it's about risk vs. reward. Are you more likely to die of a vaccine reaction or a Covid infection? If it were up to me and I were in a high risk category I'd take my chances with a vaccine. If I were in a very low risk category I'd have to think twice. If I had family at home that was high risk even though I'm very low risk, do I want risk taking Covid virus home to my high risk family members? It's not a simple decision.

I know Thalidomide was not a vaccine. But just like the vaccine they're proposing  it didn't  receive the testing  it really needed to determine the effects over time.

FYI i guess i would be considered high risk but considering the low mortality rate of the virus i'll take my chances until it's proven the cure isn't worse than the disease.

Obviously you have to decide for yourself

Exactly right. And it isn't just about you or me but also those we come in close contact. SWMBO has health issues that would make her survival in the event of a severe respiratory infection questionable. She's not in a position to live isolated for as many months as it's going to take for this pandemic to run its course. Do I get a vaccination to reduce the likelihood of bringing Covid home or take a chance on not being infected? Not a nobrainer decision. It would be nice to have the years required to do the testing that's done in less urgent circumstances.

Whelp, Jatavis Brown retired! So take him off my list. Eleven spots up for grabs now.

I don't think Riley, Brown or Perkins are locks. And I would be kind of surprised if both Riley and Brown make the team, since neither one is very good. Schwartz does like Riley, so I think his chances are better. Brown seems like the kind of guy you could cut and re-sign if you need him, since no one else is going to pick him up.

I’ll give you credit on this since Brown retired today

Sounds like college football is about to pull the plug on this season. This is not good!

They're gonna find out the hard way that people will move on to something else. I've already moved on from the NBA.

If anybody thought the riots were a big deal in Portland or Seattle and what not....cancel football in the south...you haven’t seen anything yet....

Nope,why with me being high risk would I want the govt to give me covid??? (thats what vaccines are).No thanks

Vaccines may contain either killed virus or parts of viruses that create an immune response. Me giving you a smashed beyond recognition car or a a transmission and two suspension struts is not the same as my giving you a car. It's everyone's individual decision though. Do what you think is best for you and yours.

We played 88 percent of the snaps last season with two or fewer LB.

Think we have talked on this plenty we use two Lbs the key is finding those two studs maybe it’s Edwards/Gerry maybe some else steps up but we need to address those spots for sure...

Also losing Jenkins who was underrated down near the line hurts some as well not having that Quasi LB at S maybe one of our new guys can fill that void
