Big Blue Huddle

I guess it's an acquired taste.  I have always enjoyed the old monster movies (which this one harkened back to)


If you liked the original Godzilla movie, this is a better version of the original.   Again, you have to enjoy monster movies at least a little bit or you will end up viewing the movie as Ed did.

The King Kong series are so much better. As for monster movies, Frankenstein, Bride and Son set the bar of excellence.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 31, 2024, 04:01:07 PMSeems absurd to me.  A QB under pressure can still complete a pass and even make a big play. 

I seem to remember a QB under extreme pressure completing one of the most meaningful big plays in SB history.  And then 4 years later while under serious pressure complete one of the biggest sideline passes in SB history.  How many big plays has a guy like Mahomes made while running for his life.

But no QB has ever made a big play after being sacked.

agreed .. sacks stop drives

If you guys like Godzilla and monster movies, I would suggest you give "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" on Apple TV a shot. It's a series, so unlike a movie, it keeps on giving. Season 1 has 10 episodes. Season 2 is in the making...don't know when it's going to drop though

Premise: Monsters (called "Titans" in the series), starts with the appearance of the original Godzilla who survives a nuclear bomb, hided in the ocean and deep underground. They surface when they get pissed off at humans. The series jumps from the current time frame (2020s), to back in the 60s. Interestingly, Kurt Russell (one of the stars) plays the current role of elderly Lee Shaw, and Kurt's son Wyatt Russell plays young Lee Shaw when going back to the 60s. You can see the resemblance and notice the same voice as his famous father. The show has a bit of a Japanese flavor as they start out in Tokyo and more than half the main cast members are Japanese (or half Japanese), albeit they all speak in clear English for the most part. They include subtitles when Japanese is spoken, which is very rare in this series

Worthwhile watch to those who like the thrill of battling monsters and incredible graphics

Conclusion: 10+ sacks is much easier to get than 6+ interceptions.

Those gloves certainly don't hurt

here's a good article on the topic

Quote from: Ed Vette on June 02, 2024, 04:21:30 PMI saw the article. He didn't impress at camp last year and I doubt he would have made the team. Marquis players try not to get hurt at these OTA's. Let's see how he looks in August. It would be nice to push the roster by default players.

Ed,

I thought his path to the 53 was as a special teamer rather than as a WR (as you pointed out, he didn't look all that great at receiver).



Overall, I am happy with how much better the WR corps is.  Last year, many of us hoped BFW would make the team and play a significant role.  This year, I couldn't care less.   If, by some miracle, he improves and becomes part of the WR corps, great, but it's hardly needed.
