    Mid & late Rb ideas

    Beat writer Mike Fisher on Cowboys OTA's last month... "Miles Sanders did it again today. He's got burst, all the things that I said about him when he was with the Eagles, you're watching Miles Sanders, and you're on the edge of your seat holding your breath every time he touches the ball. He does that at practice. He did it last week, and he did it again today.” Cowboys training camp starts in a couple weeks and that'll give a better indication of the situation with pads on. Both Sanders and Williams took first team snaps at OTA's, but considering how atrocious Williams metrics were the last two years, I starting to wonder if Sanders might shock the world and make somewhat of a comeback. Something to monitor over the next couple months.

    Take a gander at Etienne's metrics... ypc, yac, broken tackle rate, yd-over-expectation, etc... I'll be drafting the Tank.

    D Henry

    Let's look at some metrics to see how old man Henry did and how much he's slowing down. Among Rbs with 90+ carries Henry ranked: Ypc: 1st (5.9) Yd-before-contact /att: 3rd (3.1) Yd-after-contact /att: 1st (2.8) Broken tackle rate: 1st (1 per 7.7 att) Yds over expect /att: 1st (1.77)
  4. That's true. Do you know what it feels like to be walking a dog and seeing women switch sides of the road so they don't have to walk past "the creepy man"... i'm not even creepy - clean shaven/clean cut white dude. Now I know how blacks feel - yall be hating cause of statistics and sheet. But I don't blame ya. If I had a sweet-sweet vagina, I'd probably be scared too.

    Yeah, he gives a pass for small stuff like "that didn't happen til a year later, but I get why the writers moved ahead." Or "that character didn't actually exist, but he's a compilation of people like that at the time, so it makes sense." Seems his most hated movies mostly involve Mel Gibson. Like Apocalypto... "Seriously? Mayans with small pox without Europeans stepping foot near the continent.?." Ripped Braveheart a new one as well. Time-line screwed up and made up events that didn't make sense in historical context.

    Thought I was the only one around here lucky enough to find that channel. Like I said I thought Narcos was great - even though I never even watched the series. Probably would've been better if I had. Also liked his review of the movie Queen... makes ya wonder why movie writers add in so much bs.
  7. Trump does have a history have discrediting US intelligence... "Mr. President, your own intelligence agencies and even our allies agencies have concluded Russia meddled in the election, what do you have to say?" "I just spoke with this man (Putin) and he said they didn't do it."

    I assume everyone knows Jomboy for sports. https://www.youtube.com/@JomboyMedia History Buffs - not boring like it sounds. Reviews movies "based on true stories" and points out truth vs bs. Click on a movie you recognize and watch - I promise you'll thank me - particularly recommend his "Narcos" series reviews - good stuff... https://www.youtube.com/@HistoryBuffs Somebody here posted Primitive Tech years back. Relaxing. No talking, just a dude in a forest making stuff from scratch. https://www.youtube.com/primitivetechnology9550 Urinating Tree ... sounds weird - it's actually a hilarious sports channel. Give a vid a try - it's good. https://www.youtube.com/@UrinatingTree If ya bet on UFC, recommend MMA Al Dente - dude knows his stuff and he's not boring like every other ufc capping show. https://www.youtube.com/@mmaaldente You're welcome. Edit - forgot one - SUXBNME .... https://www.youtube.com/@suxbnme
  9. Regardless of anything... I found it interesting that Israel who's in the middle of Gaza and fighting Hamas, dealing with Huthi rebels in Yemen, along with Hezbollah forces in Lebanon - thought "what the hell - let's blow up some Iranian nuclear facilities." Might think that might be biting off more than they can chew. But obviously Israel's military can chew a lot. And they know it.
  10. I knew Iran had done that years back (warning before a strike - save face, but not escalate)... but Trump shouldn't publicly Td dance on it. We want them to give warnings. They sure as hell won't get any from us.
  11. In my defense, I said educated and cultured. Iranians tend to have higher morals/values compared with their Middle Eastern counterparts. Can't quantify it, but that's my general understanding and experience. Though, that is shocking Palestine has such high literacy rate. Wouldn't have thunk it.
  12. I don't think that's your average Iranian. Most Iranians are cultured and educated. Unlike Palestinians, Afganistans, Iraqi's, etc. If the current Iran regime collapsed and average/moderate Iranians took power, I think they'd impress. I'm not saying we should or shouldn't get involved... complex issue. But, they aren't Middle Eastern scum like you'd assume. I imagine many would love to see their authoritarian government removed.

    June Mock Draft- Final Rosters

    Jacobs had just over 300 touches.... 301 car and 36 rec to be exact. So if he'd finished with 299, people would be cool? The 300+ touch is slightly concerning, but moreso superstition. He won't get 301 carries again with Lloyd healthy and Wilson playing so well last yr. But he's gonna own the goal line... Led league with 22 last year converting 11. Love ain't gonna do that work. In standard league, ya could argue Jacobs being top 5 Rb.

    June Mock Draft- Final Rosters

    Being STANDARD ... it's Hawkeye for 1st place. Henry & Jacobs in standard is money. Mahomes later, Bigsby future stud, Jennings - nice. I do think McConkey and Adams are being drafted at their ceilings, but meh... they'll be close even if they don't quite get there. 2nd place Matt's Eagles. Jeanty & Irving for the standard stuff works. London, Prescott ... good stuff. Even snagged Downs late and Kraft in standard should be good. 3rd place place Fumble though didn't love Higgins that early, or Dobbins later... and in standard Kincaid at Te? Dude never scores - Allen and Cook eat all the short stuff. Initially liked Polecat's early picks, but it went off the rails fast. Waddle - meh. Jav Williams - ugh. Murray ? Jeesh... surely somebody better in the 8th, hell I'd rather have Goff/McCarthy/name a Qb. Kyle Pitts in the 9th? Surprised he's even drafted.

    The best ability is not availability

    Actually the Bucs insanely decided to move Godwin out of slot that year. Put him directly back after that disaster.

    Two Dem lawmakers shot, one dead in MN

    When gun violence happens to gun-right supporters, it's sad, but ironic. When gun violence happens to everyone else, it's just sad.

    Context - Moz posted this at 1 am on a Saturday morning in mid-June clearly drunk out of his mind.

    Air India Crash

    Interesting. Here's the cliff notes: Pilot told co-pilot to lift landing gear, but dot-head raised the flaps instead. Never fly with Apu.

    Derek Carr Decides to Retire

    Derek Carr earned $205 mil over an 11-year career. 1 playoff appearance. And lost.
  20. The Iranian regime only cares about staying in power. A full blown war would jeopardize that. They'll send drones and saber-rattle just to save face, but they'll never go to war until the regime's very existence is threatened.

    Marvin Harrison Jr.

    How does a guy with 116 targets and 8 Tds possibly finish Wr 42 ppg? Harrison caught just 53% of those targets, and only 62% were even charted as catchable. Murray's passer rating when targeting Harrison... 87.0. "I'm not one of those guys that's going to sit there and kill myself watching film. I don't sit there for 24 hours and break down this team and that team and watch every game because, in my head, I see so much.”- Kyler Murray

    Rank Them

    1) Jefferson 2) Lamb 3) Any elite Wr 4) Gibbs I only invest early draft capital into a position less likely to get injured or under-perform. Thus elite Wrs. I'll take my Rb chances with slightly less valuable picks.

    Mid & late Rb ideas

    Not sure how I feel about that quite yet. I'm still in the grieving process.

    Mid & late Rb ideas

    They can't even afford Cook unless they make some drastic roster moves... currently $1.7 mil cap space. Sadly... Curtis Samuel is the 8th highest paid player on the team with a cap hit of $9.1 mil. Dude had 31 rec last year. I'd forgotten they even signed him.

    Mid & late Rb ideas

    Chubb is cooked. Among Rbs with 100+ carries... Dead last in yds-after-contact; 2nd worst in ypc; 3rd worst in missed tackles/attempt; 4th worst in explosive run rate ... among many other ugly metrics.
