I think their agenda should be to keep liberals out.

I never really paid attention to Metcalf's route running, but if that's an issue... then the Steelers could certainly be a dumpster fire if those two can't connect.

I think it'll come down to what will the Steelers game plan be. If they're going to run a lot (not sure how), then I can certainly see a scenario where Metcalf has 170+ targets and the next highest guy be a RB from dumpoffs, then a bunch of guys in the 30 to 50 range. If they plan on throwing the ball about 32 times per game (550 on the season), I can see Metcalf with about 150 targets and Jonnu with 90... Freiermuth with 60(?). That might be a round about way of saying that I think DK Metcalf could be a top 3 to 7 WR.

Is it really fair to say Rodgers doesn't utilize his TE's? In his rookie year, he had Driver, Jennings, and Jordy... why would he even need to throw to a TE? In his second season where Jordy was hurt a lot, Jermichael Finley was 3rd on the team in targets in only 13 games played. In terms of fpg, he finished 10th among TE's. The following year, he was hurt, but was 5th in fpg among TE's in the 5 games he played. In 2011, Finely was 3rd on the team in targets with 92 (Jordy had 96), and finished the season as TE8. Same with 2012, Finley was 3rd in targets (87). I think the bigger issue is that GB had a major lack of talent at the TE position after Finley. It wasn't until 2018 where they got a TE who was at least adequate, but that was 32 year old Jimmy Graham. Last year, Conklin got 72 targets in 16 games... and he's not even that good. The Steelers don't have a viable #2 WR option, so I can see Jonnu getting a good amount of targets, with Freiermuth getting some. I don't think he's as good of a pass catcher as Jonnu.

I think the problem that the Redskins have is that they've been very bad and inactive in addressing the WR position. Since drafting McLaurin in 2019, this is who they've drafted: Rnd Player 4 Jaylin Lane 3 Luke McCaffrey 1 Jahan Dotson 3 Dyami Brown 7 Dax Milne 4 Antonio Gandy-Golden Other than the top 2, who were just drafted this year and last, none of them are on the team now. McCaffrey's first year doesn't look promising either. The kid played a third of the snaps last year (419) and only caught 18 passes. I think they're stuck between a rock and hard place.

Courtland Sutton just signed a 4-yr deal for $92M ($41M guaranteed). Godwin signed a deal not much different, in terms of AAV. If McLaurin wants a deal bigger than Sutton's (or Godwin's), by a lot, he's not getting signed. They'll tag him. I can see a 4-yr deal at $96M being reasonable. I mean, the dude is going to be 30 in 2 months.

13.04 - RB Jaydon Blue, DAL

12.09 - WR Marvin Mims, DEN

Texas Roadhouse is surprisingly good. I would expect that places in Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, etc, would have a lot better options that Texas Roadhouse and a lot better than anywhere in NJ. We're not really known for beef lol, but we got the best focking tomatoes in the country. Yeah, prices at Ruth Chris are absurd, but I've eaten there twice and I have no complaints about what I got.

You can only have a cap, if you have a floor... and vice versa. The thing the players have going against them is that the fans won't have sympathy for them. Sorry Bryce, complaining that you should be able to make $50M a year, instead of $35M (because there's a cap), will never be a winning argument in the fans' eyes.

LOL, his ranch is bigger than the town it's in! Just did a quick search, I knew 5k acres is about 8 square miles, but looking up the town... it's only 6.5. That's funny stuff. Pretty awesome to have that much land. Looks like a great place to eat. We really don't have many places like that here. If we want something like that, we'd have to go to Ruth Chris, and that's a fortune.

He has a ranch? That's pretty cool. Yeah, he doesn't come to NJ that often, so... lol

Strike mentioned something to that affect. I never knew about that. I hope he's ok, I don't want anything bad to happen to him.

Ok. Thanks. I didn't know about that. Hopefully this isn't anything too serious.

That I didn't know. Is he diabetic?

Wish it was a joke. I just never really got into music.

Yeah, possibly. I'm just a skeptic. I certainly don't want his situation to be bad or anything, I just have a hunch that it's an excuse to step down... conveniently after his kids are out of school. If I were a gambling man, I'd bet that he steps down and "retires" from coaching because of "health reasons". I'm not sure which thread it was in, apparently not this one, but I do remember hearing that one of the reasons he left JSU to go to Colorado was because with the money he was giving back to the school, the school was pizzing it away instead of investing it in the athletics program like it was intended. At the time, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't know if I can do that again or think that way anymore if he's now done coaching. One thing that seems fishy, I can look the other way... but 2, in just a few years? I don't think so. We'll see what happens, but like I said, if I had to put money on it, I'm betting he steps down.

LOL, nope. Never had it... will never earn it. I was told I was banned forever when I didn't know that The Who and Guess Who were different bands... same with Queen and Queensryche. I just thought people said "Queen" to shorten it.

The Mama's and the Papa's!!! I know that one... Wilson Phillips did a cover of that song. Wait, unless that's not the point of the thread?

@Hawkeye21 @WhiteWonder We all might have been wrong. It might have solely been to get his two kids a ton of playing time to get them drafted (or signed). I don't recall ever hearing about Sanders having health problems until like, now.

First thing I thought of the second I heard about it.

@Ron_Artest couldn't see cognitive decline in Biden's blank stares, endless rambling, and aimless wandering around for 4 years, but he can see it Trump being extremely active and in front people every day being completely alert.

2 tid-bits watching today's Pirates game.... 1) Paul Skenes is the only starter in MLB this season with 10+ starts, to not give up a run in the first inning in any start. His current streak, extending from last season, is 27. 2) Entering today, Paul Skenes with 307 career strikeouts and career ERA of 1.91, is the only pitcher since at least 1893, to record 300 or more strikeouts and have a sub 2 ERA in his first 44 career starts. Pirates better get a great return when they trade him in 3 years.

A's record. Not sure why that matters though.
