Come to camp in shape. Bro, they need time to prioritize their mental health. We are past the time when athletes like Raegor are valued simply for their athletic prowess. He has earned a place in football history, and has proven himself to be an amazing spokesperson and influencer who has much to offer brands even without competing and eventually in retirement.

One more area where it looks like we coddle athletes. Not diminishing the fact that he lost a buddy, it sucks. Your grandfather dies and you get a day. Would likely have had to use PTO if you wanted more time with family to both celebrate and mourn. The issue isn't coddling people around loss, the issue is our employers not giving a crap about our loss. Person close to you dies, is diagnosed with a terminal illness, etc? Hey, one day ought to do it! Man up, b-i-t-c-h! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see Herbig as a starter. That doesn't make him trash, it just makes him limited. If we are going for blasts from the past, I'd liken him more to Nick Cole than Hank Fraley. Yea, there are some in your boat who think he's better for depth. We'll see. The good news is that he seems to want to be better. He's putting in work. Oh I wasn't a Nick Cole fan. All 3 are shaped the same but I think Hank was an underrated center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, one day ought to do it! Man up, b-i-t-c-h! My parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brother, and a niece all passed away. For some I got a day and for some I got 3 days and I was able to go back to work and function just fine afterwards, I'm not sure why you would need to miss work for more than that. If somehow that triggers a true mental health crisis go and talk to a shrink, or your pastor, or someone else that you respect. I doubt dwelling on the loss 24 hours a day is good for you either.

Life goes on. When my mom passed a year and a half ago, I probably would have had a full meltdown if it wasn't for work. I don't know how people can go sit for days and dwell on it constantly. I had plenty of bad moments, but when I had to work I put my big boy pants on and dealt with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to take much from a 7- on 7 clip but that was a really good route on the outside. Will be Interesting to see if he can continue to do well on the inside and the outside and establish himself as a top notch WR, if he runs routes like that in games and produces like he did last year reagor and Howie are gonna get a lot more heat Howie should get the brunt of it, reagor has zero control over where he was drafted all he can do is go out on the field and try to prove his doubters wrong, to date he's off to a Shakey start. I hope he can turn it around, I think there are still a group of fans that want to see reagor utterly fail so they can say I told you so.👎 Even if Jefferson continues his torrid pace it would be nice if reagor could show something. Coincidentally reagor is looking more like just a slot receiver ☹️ Lots of people on here didn't want him. I remember going back through the draft thread and quoting a bunch of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphagrand Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 2 hours ago, greend said: Starting to look like Reagor and Dillard are indeed "busts". I usually try to stick up for younguns until I have to finally admit it but I'm going with suck on these two. I sure hope Smith utrns out to be super man cause man we suck at drafting I'll be the last one off the hype train on these guys. I still believe both can and will make contributions; in the end both will be given more than adequate opportunity to show what they can do. In Reagor's case it's up to him as a professional athlete to channel adversity into motivation -- dedicate the season to his lost friend and dedicate himself to be better. Dillard should win the starting job at LT through merit; if he can't do it then he needs to contribute in whatever role he's asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
