MAJUSCULE Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 RIP Dwayne Haskins. So sad. Saw a video he posted of him and Najee Harris hanging out and having fun just yesterday. You just never know. 1 Quote Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Grace Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 This is awful news! Dwayne Haskins had a promising life ahead of him, and by all accounts was a kind young man. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

GovernorSilver Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Deebo Samuels asked the Niners to trade him. He's in the final year of his rookie contract, but apparently he doesn't want to play the hybrid position any more. He wants to go to a team who will use him as a pure WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive my old man position but I remember when players put in their work on the field. They were not divas demanding trades just because they didn't like their socks or the choice of paint colors in the team cafeteria. As soon as the 49ers tell Deebo what that rookie extension or new contract is going to look like, he'll be willing to play three ways...offense, defense and special teams. 😁😎 2 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

GovernorSilver Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 NFL draft: Which teams have gotten the best value since 2012? We (ESPN) rank all 32 I expected to see the Chiefs ranked highly but was surprised to see the Patriots as low as #7. Not surprised at all to see the Chargers in the 20s - Tom Telesco whiffed on quite a few choices. I get the feeling previous HC Anthony Lynn got thrown under the bus for not being able to polish turds. Brandon Staley and Herbert saved Telesco's job, for now.

MikeT156 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 OT for the thread, sorta: Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers have called it quits. Again. A source told E! News that the Divergent star and the Green Bay Packers quarterback have broken up again. "Shailene tried to give it another shot and was spending time with Aaron. But she quickly saw that everything was on his terms and nothing was going to change. There was no reason to continue and she's done with it again," the source said. Woodley, 30, and Rodgers, 38, ended their engagement in February, but have since been spotted together multiple times. Two weeks after the news of their called-off engagement, the two said they were looking to work their relationship out. They were "talking things through and trying to keep things private," a source told Us Weekly. "Things are different now, but they were definitely over. Now that Aaron is in (the) off season, he has more downtime and can focus more on a relationship. Shailene is understanding and open — she hasn’t shut the door completely or (she) would’ve never agreed to meet up with him," the source said. Once again, Aaron is a Diva that gets away with it, but in the relationship Aaron had with this woman was "On his terms" That is Its my way or the highway. She took the highway.

ProfD Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I was hoping Washington Commanders would have selected an o-lineman in the draft. They chose to pick speedy WR Jahan Dotson to pair up with WR Terry McLaurin. The pick makes some sense because we needed that position filled as well. 😎 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

Of course college FB and the NFL are two different games. The NFL is a All Star League. Dotson will find he cannot get away with he did in College FB.

GovernorSilver Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 No complaints about the Chargers choice of Zion Johnson. It'll be interesting to see how they solve the right tackle problem now - whether they try him at RT, or slide the current RG over. In any case, more protection for Herbert is good. The Charger fansites were hoping for Jameson Williams but he didn't get past Detroit. Steelers appear to have lucked out with Kenny Pickett dropping into their laps. With Big Ben retired and the tragic loss of Dwayne Haskins, this was the pick they needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernorSilver Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The rest of the Chargers draft focused on offensive line and defense (one tackle, and a bunch of defensive backs). They also drafted RB Isaiah Spiller in hopes he'll be the backup to Ekeler that they've been searching for but haven't found. I guess they're happy with their WR corps, as not a single pick was spent on that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT156 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Steelers reportedly decline LB Devin Bush's 5th-year option. Bush had a great rookie Season, but tore his ACL in a none impact injury and has never been the same. Injuries can kill a great player and ruin a career. Bush didn't play up to his rookie season after his injury and this will be his last year in a Steelers uniform unless he is able to regain his confidence and play up to his ability. OR NFL stands for NOT FOR LONG Mike. T.

CEB Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 BDN landed in a good place at Indy. If he gets on the field he may do some good. He is fantastic coming in cold turkey off the bench. He just wasn't mobile enough to survive in that no protection dumpster fire Matt Nagy offense. He is lucky he didn't die.

CEB Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The one thing I remember about Marion Barber was the 2011 game against the Broncos. All the Bears had to do to win is let the clock run out. Bears had a 3 point lead and the Broncos had no time outs. We don’t know why but for some reason Marion Barber had a brainfart and ran the ball out of bounds. Bears lost. Other than that Marion played a great game. Too many of these men die too young. Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!
