One of my all time favorite NFL preseason moments was when Lendale White showed up to Titans camp 30 pounds lighter than the year before, and when asked how he did it he basically said he stopped drinking Tequila. 

Was just telling this story the other day! I work as a trainer and bartender so all the time I get asked what alcohol is the least bad.

Never said I knew what Watsons issue was, said massage therapist don't routinely .massage the groin, especially ones one might find on Instagram.

Having had areas like my groin massaged before during a massage there are ways the therapist wraps the blanket or sheet around your junk so as to avoid any physical contact with ones junk. ( I had a tumor pressing on multiple organs that caused a lot of pain in that area and others.

As for him not being criminally charged.

He wasn't charged federally 

In civil court he was charged 25 times and settled 24 of those cases, the details of those settlements are confidential mostly to protect the victims, people who are innocent of any criminal activity don't settle in court.

Saying he didn't commit any crime is minimizing and justifying his negative impact on his victims and society.

Saying " we all know he didn't sexually assault those women" is minimizing his actions and stigmatizing his victims.

Justifying his lewd contact as just part of a massage is minimizing and justifying his behavior And victim shaming.

Calling it just" lewd" behavior is minimizing his actions.

Calling it " non violent sexual acts" as the arbitrator did, is minimizing his actions.

If you had to pick between these two scenarios, which would you pick.

1) Cowboys have a good year, win the division, you don’t consider them favorites to make the Super Bowl though, but obviously could), and Eagles miss the playoffs. After the season, the Cowboys keep McCarthy, but the Eagles fire Sirianni and hire Sean Payton.

 

2) Eagles win division and make the playoffs, but do so in somewhat similar fashion to last season where Hurts doesn’t look great, and you don’t have much faith at all they can make any noise in the playoffs. Cowboys miss the playoffs, fire McCarthy and hire Sean Payton.

I would take the 2nd.  Sean Payton isn't Belichick.  Sure, he's a winning coach when he has an elite QB. He also hasn't done anything in the playoffs since 2009.  I don't think he's the missing piece on a roster that seems to have gotten worse this year especially at the reciever position.

You're seriously unhinged man. You don't understand the difference between criminal and civil law, you don't understand much about the Watson case (tho you think you're an expert, clearly). Relax a little, those women aren't gonna come for you because you're defending them. Watson is a scummy dude, but he's not a criminal. That's a fact. 

Dillard obviously has no long-term role here. I really hope Dillard looks great and Howie can get a good pick for him. Would help in potential QB pursuits next year. Need all the ammo they can get.

Would be nice if he could play more than one position, not saying I know he can't, just that he hasn't shown yet that he can 

Tough to keep a guy as a backup who only plays LT.

Good thing Mailata can swing when Johnson goes down again.

There was talk of him learning RG; not sure thru the various camp reports if he's played there, but if he's bulked up and is more stout as described, it could help him transition. 

Likely though, he's yet another first round miss.

There's also Driscoll who can step in and keep Mailata in place, which would make Dillard extra worthless on the team.

Never said I was an expert on Watson case, I can read just as well as the next person.

Not sure why the women would come for me for defending them🤔

Watson is a scummy dude and he wasn't criminally charged in a federal court, that doesn't mean he hasn't committed criminal acts nor does it not mean he's not a criminal as the term criminal is a subjective term just as the term scummy is.

If Watson is a scummy dude than why the issue with calling him a criminal, why defend him from that term?

In my opinion, doing so minimizes his actions.

 

For Dillard to get traded, a player has to get hurt and another team has to panic. Otherwise, keep him.

Not giving up Dillard for anything less than a 2nd

Yup, LT around the league is the 2nd most important position for alot of teams 

Dillard was a highly thought of prospect coming out And at LT as a rookie he wasn't bad, the trainwreck moment was at RT.

I can't imagine his value dropped below a 2nd rounder especially if the team trading is desperate for help.

Either way it would be nice to be able to get something of worth for him In return instead of just letting him walk for nothing.

Kempski and BLG have said he hasn't done much outside of OT, so I don't think that guard move is coming.

They've been trashing Carson Strong. Saying he looks absolutely terrible. Got the LVP of practice from them yesterday.

Both have been ultra impressed by Jordan Davis and TJ Edwards.

Both said Bradberry has looked very good, as has Slay.

Said Mailata and Sanders also look terrific.

That’s what I’m looking for.

As much as the rep with the hitch route and dancing for two minutes bothered some other posters, that’s how much this rep bothered me.

That throw takes a year to get there.  I saw in one of the comments to the video "Not every throw has to be a bullet; some require touch”.  This one does not require touch; that rep in a live game is likely to be a Pick 6 the other way.  There is no way an out route to the sideline should have arch on it.  This rep is either a terrible throw or a really lazy rep from Hurts.  The route by Smith wasn’t lazy, so the throw shouldn’t be this lazy.

It’s only 2 reps, but it worries me that a QB with unparalleled work ethic like Hurts should be having lazy reps like these.  I’m hoping I can find some practice reps posted where Hurts is putting zip on his throws; I’d be very happy to see some of those right now

Maybe, just maybe, the point of the rep was the route, not the throw. Maybe, just maybe don’t have the QB get a tired arm early in TC by unnecessarily whipping a pass. Maybe, just maybe that is smart management.  BTW, same reason the receiver makes the catch and goes out of bounds rather than fighting for yards. You would have lasted five minutes in August two a days under the Texas sun for high school ball.

I am encouraged that there seems to be a concentration on broadening the field for Hurts and a time clock on his release this TC.

One staggering stat I've noticed. How much confidence did our staff have with Hurts only attempting 432 passes. Thats insanely low in todays NFL. almost laughable

Any coaching staff wants to win.

I'd agree about holding tight on Dillard if this was a SB year. If it was a SB year, depth is more important. But I don't think anyone here is thinking SB. This team won't reach that level until they get a capable QB and if I had to choose between getting a 3rd for Dillard now(or at the deadline) or letting him walk in free agency and maybe get a compensatory pick(depending on who they sign) I'm taking the 3rd rounder.

How close of a Laremy Tunsil type trade do you think we can get?

The Dolphins sent Tunsil, wide receiver Kenny Stills, a 2020 fourth-round pick, and a 2021 sixth-round pick to Houston.

Miami received:

• 2020 first-round pick
• 2021 first-round pick
• 2021 second-round pick
• Cornerback Johnson Bademosi
• Offensive lineman Julién Davenport

People were saying Strong was better than Hurts after being undrafted 😄
