This has a bit of a feeling of Hitler’s annexation of Sudetenland (like Crimea) followed by establishing Protectorates in Czechoslovakia (Bohemia and Moravia).  With the west stuck in the neutrality pacts, nationalism and protectionism of the mid thirties.  China is probably watching this with eyes on Taiwan.  

Yup. I'm pretty sure Putin and Xi were watching the Cluster.F. in Afghanistan and thinking "Hmmm, now might not be a bad time to make a move".

Tight ends are gonna get paid this offseason. 

That is a terrible contract.

I really liked Ian Thomas coming out. Thought he was a good pick, especially when they picked him. However, he's not good.

Are we still pals?  Wanna hug?

Depends. Who's your DE target in the first?

Folks in the DC area, you see the new locations proposed for the Commanders stadium?  Three proposed sites: one in Sterling (near the Commanders practice facility), two in Prince William right off of I-95.  

I really do wish they would build it in DC.

Depends on what bacarty has read....whatever he repeats....I'll go the other way.  

And also depends on where.  

 

I'd be happy with one or two of the following (as I am convinced we won't make all 3 first round selections):

 

I wouldn't just focus on DE as much I would focus on DL.... 

Walker- Move all around and has the explosion to play outside

Ojabo- No run defense at all.

Leal- Has not filled his body out yet.  Could add 10-15 lbs and replace Cox.  Not being talked about enough.  

Dammit I agree. Big Walker and Leal fan and big fan of Bacarty being constantly wrong. Fine we can hug or touch tips or whatever.

Are you referencing groceries or johns? Either way it's good advice.

I'll try.  Day is young.  

Blog DEagle is much more pleasant than CVON DEagle. I rarely get puffy in here. Bacarty and EagleVA are exceptions to that rule though.

I thought Durham Smythe might be a target, but if that’s the price for a blocking TE, no thanks.

So Brian Dawkins has zero credibility when talking about football?

Brave you are to die on this hill.

Anyone who refers to Jalen Hurts as a rookie has zero credibility when evaluating Jalen Hurts

.... but, nice try   😂

Bo Jackson is the most overrated player on earth, which is flat by the way.

That's enough. God help us if there aren't more like him in our military. You're the one getting all pissy because he called you out.

Hmm, you or Brian Dawkins when it comes to football. It's a tough choice, but I am guessing the fact that one is in the Hall of Fame and the other is you makes the decision just a little bit easier.

That really made it evident ( like it wasn't already ) how dense that guy really is.  

The best part is he said Rozier was better because he had 195 more yards over that 4 year period.  When it was pointed out that Rozier needed 16 more games and 216 more carries to get those yards, he went with the Bo couldn't stay healthy and only played 30 some games over 4 years BS.  I don't think he realized Bo played 100+ baseball games those years, rolled into the NFL week 7, no training camp, and dominated.

Where in DC?  Anacostia?  That place was a war zone 10 years ago...I guess it's had a rebirth.  

 

Prince William County is a terrible idea.  That part of 95 is already a complete mess with traffic.  

 

I don't miss living in that area.  I lived in Crofton for about a decade, back when I first started on the message board.  My first job in the DC area was in Reston.  Yeah, that was a fun commute.  Then I transferred to Towson....not great, but a much better commute than Reston.  

I don't think there's any realistic sites in DC, although RFK stadium was a decent location for years.  Why not use that location again?  Nice central location with easy metro access?  Folks from out of town can just take the train -> metro to go to games?  

Prince William will be a mess.  There's no metro access.  No mass transit anywhere near those locations .  

Sterling won't be much better, although slightly closer to mass transit, the airport, etc.

thats what Ive been saying. He and Thibodeaux look like 3-4 OLBs. Not full time DEs in a 4-3. Too lean.

Called it

Long way to go in the draft process, but the current consensus big boards would put players like Jermaine Johnson, Devin Lloyd and Treylon Burks into the 15-20 range.  We'll see what Burks runs at The Combine -- if he's in the 4.3s he might go top 10; if he runs in the 4.4s as I suspect then he'll be on the board at the Eagles picks.

Makes sense.  Who is the next in line at Fox after Aikman?  Maybe Greg Olsen unless I'm forgetting someone.

It's genuinely difficult to think of a worse sports opinion than "Bo Jackson wasn't that good" and yet here we are...

He's much better than Joe Buck or even Chris Collinsworth.

Man I miss Madden / Summerall.  You knew your team was good when Madden and Summerall were calling games in your stadium.
