Tommy has already proven he can carry the team if asked
Lock on the other hand has proved nothing in the NFL
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 24, 2024, 03:43:29 PMThe solid majority of fans on this forum are very knowledgeable. So I (and I assume @AZGiantFan ) both see stating the obvious, that throwing well in OTAs does not guarantee success come September, as needless and it feels like it's said just so one can say something negative about the guy (it also feels a bit belittling as I certainly didn't need to be told about the meaning of OTAs). Maybe I am wrong, and there was another reason it was said. Maybe there has been just so much arguing and ill-feelings on this subject that there is over-sensitivity.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 25, 2024, 04:51:25 PMNot too dissimilar from me.I do that sometimes too but I do get caught with the wrong theme and burn lives. I will also leave it and comeback as I do with Strands and then something becomes clear.
I read through the whole thing once ideally without rushing - sometimes twice - and try to spend a few seconds thinking about each word and potential multiple meanings it might have. Once I've gone through that, on most days, I can usually get one right away. Obviously some days are harder than others. Once I get that first one it's generally a process of finding pairs or possibly sets of three that I feel pretty good about and then finding the best candidate(s) for the last word(s).
I think I've mentioned this before, but one thing I try to do is when I think I have one dead right, and then it's wrong, and it's early in the puzzle, I try to move away from that category altogether and find something else. Too many times when I first started doing Connections I'd get stuck on one idea, and then it turned out the whole idea was wrong. By cutting my losses with a given theme when I get it wrong once, I have found the results seem to be better than when I keep using up guesses by just swapping out one word for another. Obviously if it's later in the puzzle you may not have any other option, but I try to avoid that when it's early.

By contrast Jones was a big time loser at small time Duke
Where are we here, in a hall of mirrors? DeVito is better than the robotic Jones by a country mile
The delta is that Jones is now Mara's very expensive adopted sun
It seems the Giants will let DeVito float and lost to waivers....he will wind up in NE as the next Tom Brady My prediction
Jones has been touched by the hand of Mara.
