Report says "1500 block of W Cypress Creek Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL" - looks like a huge strip center, so there could be video but who knows. Faces a 6 game suspension at min if found guilty. I'm guessing he's currently negotiating a cash settlement with the victim. Goodell isn't gonna suspend him without a guilty verdict, unless there's video. Odds are the victim won't cooperate, charges dropped, no suspension. Still, way to go Browns.

Half the year, my car clock is one hour off. Don't care enough to figure out how to change it. I live in bizzaro-Melon world.

Say that to Garrett Wilson.

I'm Wr guy which burned me last year, but I am what I yam. Draft early Wrs, scout Rbs later. So I'm hunting through the rankings today, doing my first bit of research and a few names stood out. (Rb 12) Breece Hall - how the mighty have fallen considering where he ranked last year (3rd). Only missed one game and finished Rb 16. Everything was down - yds, tds and rec (though still a respectable 57 rec). In '23, Hall finished Rb 4 despite a bad Jets offense. Rodgers is gone replaced by Fields - no Rb competition added. Jets invested a first rd pick on o-line and signed a couple backups (might increase last year's lowly 2.1 Yds-Before-Contact). If he repeats last year he'll be slightly poor value, and if he reverts to '23... tremendous. The truth is probably in the middle. Still young, talented, and probably the focal point of the offense with Fields under center. (Rb 14) James Cook - despite missing a game he slightly out performed Adp and finished Rb 9. Similar to '23 when he finished Rb 11. No major changes in Buffalo. Interestingly, the Bills had the most rushing Tds last year with Cook getting a whopping 16, though his receptions declined to 32. No Rb competition added. The Bills are a high scoring offense and he's a beneficiary. Entering 4th year, only missed two total games. Feels like a safe pick in this range. (Rb 21) Aaron Jones - old man still doing it. Finished Rb 14 last year without missing a game. The big change is McCarthy at Qb and the Vikings also signed Rb Jordan Mason to a sizable contract so Jones might not see another 255 carries. But he was productive with his carries at 4.5 ypc and added 51 rec. Vikes invested a 1st rd pick on o-line and signed two decent free agents. Might be tough to replicate last year with Mason in the fold (never know), but Rb 21 seems like the floor if healthy again. Edit: second thoughts on Jones - read below. (Rb 27) RJ Harvey - Bronco's 2nd rd pick. Scouts say he can run like hell and most importantly - he can catch. Lord knows Shanahan edit: Sean Payton loves that. Minimal Rb competition. Considering the draft capital invested, probably steps in as the lead back who could be staring at least 50+ receptions (J Williams had 52). Rb 27 seems like a gift. (Rb 29) Quinshon Judkins - Brown's 2nd rd pick. Supposedly Chubb's replacement. Probably not quite as good, but scouts love him - "homerun ability" - whatever. Likely doesn't get tons of receptions as Ford is still there. The Browns do two things well - play defense and pound the rock, it's in their DNA. This is the new rock totter. Maybe it's early and the hype train hasn't left the station, but this feels too low for a guy who might easily get 200+ carries. (Rb 31) Brian Robinson Jr. - finished Rb 29 last year, due to missing 3 games and left early in a couple. Still had 187 carries, (4.3 ypc) 8 Tds, 25 rec. Redskins had 4th most rushing Tds last year, mainly due to Daniels but shows commitment. Robinson has missed a few games each of his three years, but he's still the lead back as old man Ekeler didn't show much. Redskins invested a 1st rd pick on o-line. Can't imagine Robinson breaking top 10-15 with Daniels vulturing so many carries and Tds, but should easily out-perform this lowly adp. (Rb 35) Javonte Williams - ok scraping the barrel, but what the hell is wrong with Jerry Jones? Upgraded Zeke and Dowdle with Williams and Miles Sanders? Seriously? Cowboys spent 5th and 7th round picks on Rbs, but they don't appear to be the main starters (make league-min money). No guarantee Williams does anything with his new starting gig despite lack of competition but we're talking about a 10th rd fantasy pick here and the Cowboys have a decent offense. Feels like a decent dart throw. Thoughts? Which mid to late Rbs are yall eyeballing?

Fair enough. Fields actually did better than I remembered... 10 Tds in 6 games is 28.3 for a full season - though half were rushing which ain't good news for Hall. Obviously, all the Eagles players thrived because they're good all around (including Qb) - led league in possession time, 7th in first downs & offensive scoring, etc. So at the end of the day... are you buying Hall at adp (Rb15+-)? In spite of stacked fronts (which apparently mean nothing), an offense that probably won't score much, get few 1st downs, and a team projected to win 5.5 games? Not to mention Fields probably vultures 100 carries and some of the few scoring chances they do get.?.

Herbert got all that usage and racked up all those yards - never better than Rb 41 ppg ('23). Everyone suffers from bad Qb play. That's a Qb issue.

Detroit lost the o-coordinator and are re-shuffling the o-line. Makes sense the market is baking in some discount. But 12th to undrafted? Seems the market went way too far. Though it's hard to discuss Qbs because every league is so different ... 4 vs 6 pt pass Tds, pass yardage pts, completion pts (yes it's a thing). Even then, I don't get the Goff hate. Maybe it has something to do with having one of the worst names in football.

Considering they graduated 100 years ago... Yale?

I have as much love for Palestinians as they do for Americans (remember their 9/11 dancing?"). Nobody would be surprised if "Hamas systematic sex violence" is true - probably is knowing them. Despite the fact that Israel is more than happy for you to hear it in order soften the impact of their own genocide. I supported Israel's initial reaction to the Hamas attack - any country would retaliate like that. However, as a normal human I refuse to support starving a population to death, withholding medicine/vital supplies, and mass-bombing civilians just to kill a couple fighters. We're talking little kids and regular civilians. Don't know what the answer to removing Hamas is, but this can't be it. Israel's actions over the past year are sickening and forever altered the way I think of Israeli's. My President apparently supports this garbage - I sure as hell don't.

Boise State to the NFL and fantasy Rb 5 his rook year... with the Raiders no less. Not this guy. At least Bijan played for Texas.

There's a Qb which Vegas o/u odds set as the third highest passing yards and third highest passing Tds this year. Finished top 10 among Qbs for three straight years (varies on scoring). Being drafted anywhere from 12th rd to undrafted in some mocks. Who is this incredible value? Jared Goff

Wait, that was a jab at me wasn't it? Low blow weepaws.

I started this thread back in early May and Breece Hall looked decent at his adp then... fast-forward to mid-July and think I'm out. Talented player and had respectable (not great - not bad) metrics last year. Probably gets a ton of receptions again so even if he stinks, he shouldn't be that bad. But ... Justin Fields. I foresee a lot of stacked 8 man-fronts eyeing Hall every play. Last year with Rodgers, Hall only faced stacked fronts 6.2% of the time (extremely low). Fields only played 10 games in Pitt, but Najee finished with 13.7% stacked fronts. Go back to '23 when Fields was in Chicago... Khalil Herbert faced 31.1%. Defenses don't respect Fields and neither do I. Some wonder if the Jets are in tank for Manning mode. Vegas has their o/u wins at ... 5.5. Gonna be a long year for the J-E-T-S and I'm not going down with that ship. Think I'll look elsewhere at that adp.

Jags 7th rd pick Lequint Allen was a stud receiving back out of Syracuse logging 64 rec last year, so seems logical the plan is to eventually take over Etienne's receiving role. Jags 4th rd pick Bhayshul Tuten is a former track star and big dude, but not known as a great receiver, so it remains to be seen how he fits in - could be just depth or possibly challenge Tank for the starting spot. Though, I'm giving the nod to Tank based on what he did last year. All those metrics I talked about with Tank.... let's see how Etienne fared: Yds-after-contact / att (1.8) #33. Juke rate #38. Broken tackle / att #44 (dead last among qualifiers). Next Gen Stats yds-over-expect /att #34. Explosive rating #33. Ypc (3.7) #42 Rbs 100+ att. That's tremendously awful for an NFL Rb.

Yeah, when I first saw Sanders on the Dallas depth chart I wasn't excited - surprised they even signed him. But we know what Williams did the past couple years (talk about sad metrics), so maybe Sanders still has enough juice to win the starting job and produce. Cowboys new coach Shottenheimer said right after become head coach "I'm proud to say at two different times in my career as a coordinator, we led the league in rushing. The running game and the action pass game go hand in hand." Last season they ranked 27th in run/pass ratio, so it sounds like the Cowboys want to do a lot more rushing. Be nice to have whoever owns that job - especially at a dirt cheap price. Be it Sanders or whoever. It's a situation to monitor, but encouraging to hear beat reporters talking up Sanders at OTA's. We'll see what they say once the pads are on in training camp.

I foresee Tank as my 4th Rb around the 10th rd. Etienne was former coach Peterson's first draft pick with the Jags and they picked up his 5th year option before last season. Bigsby was vastly outplaying him, yet they kept feeding Etienne touches despite inefficiency - probably because they were so invested. Both the coach and GM were of course fired. The new coach won't have such loyalty. He'll give carries to whoever performs best. At this point, I believe that'll be Bigsby based on his vastly superior metrics to Etienne and likelihood he's better prepared to handle the job over a 4th rd speed rookie. Some Tank metrics: Tied Derrick Henry for #1 in yds-after-contact / att at 2.8. Playerprofiler ranked his juke rate at #6 in the league. Broken tackle / att #12. Next Gen Stats yds-over-expect /att #9. Explosive rating #14. Those aren't based on a handful of rushes, rather 168 attempts - reliable sample size. Solid runner. Youtube Tank 2024 and pick a few random weeks... see if he passes the eye-test. Gritty runner gaining tough yards. Also apparent how bad the Jags run-block was, rarely creating holes - Tank's horrible 1.8 yds-before-contact / attempt is a testament. Had to make the most of what was given - impressive he finished with 4.6 ypc. When he does get a hole, he pops through and shakes tackles. The knock is few receptions, but I'm expecting 1,000+ yds and most goal line. Not bad for a 10th round pick. The former Auburn player (good stock) is now entering his third year. It's Tank time baby!

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.
