Big Blue Huddle

I can honestly say there is ONLY one thing on that list that annoys me:

Poor drivers.

None of that other stuff bothers me in the least.

This isn't a political statement: I'm not annoyed by the politicians themselves. I'm annoyed at the collective voters who can't see past party lines to hold all of the people WE voted into office accountable.

Hard choice, but going with Kayvon Thibodeaux. He was already coming up to the standard we expected when we drafted him with our 5th overall pick, and he was starting to show signs of greatness. Now, with Burns on the other side, the focus of offenses will be on stopping Burns, which should allow Thibs to go up against someone other than the other team's best blockers and double teams. At 23 yrs old, and 3-years of NFL experience, and with the mindset that he will do anything to become the best in the NFL, he is getting ready to step into stardom...IMVHO

You want mandatory?! Let the owners and their shill (Goodell) open up the coffers, pay these players what they deserve and go back to a 16 game schedule.

I agree 1 billion percent!!! Baseball and basketball have fully-guaranteed contracts. NFL needs to do the same.

If Dex, Burns, and Thibs light it up then it will allow Bobby Ok to feast and do what he does best. He's easily the best pure Mike in the Division already and was low key the best player on the field last season.

I'm struggling with the level of optimism re: Hyatt. I think it's far more likely his numbers end up closer to our #4 option in the passing game vs. being the team MVP.

My pick is Dex / Burns. I think Burns will put up the showy stats and make the SportsCenter highlights, but Dex will have the biggest overall impact.

I would imagine a hybrid system. Just spitballing: give the referees clickers--they click when the believe the runner was down, its time-stamped, and its fed to the tracking system which spits out what yard line the ball was on at the time of the click, reports in the referees ears, then they spot it.

Not perfect, obviously... as do you give them all clickers? What do you do then when multiple click--do you average the click time or something like that? Maybe put someone in a booth with every camera angle and all they do is the try to determine when the runner was down?

Certainly kinks to work out in any system. But my point is really that there are very likely some solutions and probably hybrid with some human input.

With Aaron Donald's retirement, Dexter Lawrence may very well be the best DT in the NFL. He's the best player on the field most of the time they play. If they are to have any success in 2024, the defense will have to be stout and Dex will be key to that.

They won't be missed.

I always admired complete basketball players - players who played great defense, passed like a savant, set screens, helped out, made a great chest or bounce pass and scored.  Walton was that player.  Too bad he had all those foot injuries.
