NFL Underway

[Snaggletiger]

I was reading a piece on Julian Edelman's very first conversation/encounter with Bill Bellychick.  In it, he said he's probably had about 8 conversations with the man in 10 years.  During his rookie season, he was at the training facility late one night, as was Belichick.  Edelman said I saw him on the treadmill, watching film and taking notes, and he did everything he could to avoid the coach and not have to talk to him.  Then later: (foxy)

“I just so happen to walk by the hot tub and coach is in the hot tub. Obviously, I came in the room to go in the hot tub. But then we made eye contact and my natural instinct was to turn around like I was gonna leave,” he said.

“But then I saw that he saw that I was in there and then he got up and got out and real, real big party foul by coach. We're supposed to have shorts on. Supposed to have shorts. But I guess at 11 o'clock, when you're the GOAT of coaching you go wherever you want, free—free ball. So I had to hide my absolute face of terror after seeing what I saw and sit in the hot tub.”

Yeah that wasn't necessary Snaggle.

Snags can’t resist a good nekkid man lockerroom story. Bellychick isn’t big or black but it’s better than nothing.

Me....a camera phone....and Bellychick's junk. The pinnacle of success.

I live next door to Robert McCune's sister. I don't know if any of you guys remember him, but he played for Louisville in college and had a short NFL career playing for different teams. Kind of weird for me. She's a sweet lady and a disabled vet. Her husband is pretty damn cool, too. I love having great neighbors.

GotDamn.

Russell Wilson is a magician.

His first TD pass was incredible. Great concentration on reception as well...

...and then the score that put them ahead.

Legit Stud.

That's why I was saying earlier that if I was starting an NFL franchise right now from scratch, he'd be my pick under center.  I know several of the young guns, like MyHomie, are putting up sick numbers, but Wilson has more than enough sample size to prove he's legit.

Last night, the most overhyped team in NFL history, the Cleveland Browns, got punked by the 49ers.  The highlight of the evening was Nick Bosa sacking Faker Mayflower and then simulating the flag plant that Mayfield did against tOSU.  By the way, I'ma go ahead and profess my man love for Bosa's guns.  If you watched any of the game last night, you saw that that dude is a beast.

Watched it. With Bosa and Ford as bookends, that 49er DL is badazz. Well, the whole 49er D is badazz.

[Snaggletiger]

Watched it. With Bose and Ford as bookends, that 49er DL is badazz. Well, the whole 48er D is badazz.

Well, their D is good, but not Falcons level.


Wait.......what?

So you're saying take SF d in my fantasies?

Im surprised you were able to understand anything in that post with all the typos.

You heard it hear first but you didnt hear it from me.

Dinorvosaurus Turner is a good fit for McCaffery and a pedestrian QB like Allen.  

He’s an awful fit for Cam. He’s a little like Gus in that he only knows how to do one moderately successful thing (West Coast, RB is the star) and has no idea what to do with an outsized talent like Cam.  

To be fair, Cam would be better served to be less THE man and more A man working within the constraints of the team.  But that’s not the role in which he was cast in Carolina.  He’s not going to succeed in Snorv’s Dino-offense.

I think you've seen the last snap of Cam in a Carolina uniform and probably anywhere else. No one wants to sign Madea, the QB.

You done lost your mind.

Cam is very much an enigma. He's a great representative for Carolina and its brand but also a huge flake that pouts under due criticism when he can't get it done.  
He's maybe 30 and could play as many as five or more seasons somewhere but only as a starter with that salary. 

His best year was 2015 but stats show he more or less goes from 11-5 to 6-8 from year to year. The inconsistencies seems to coincide with injuries...just can't stay healthy.

I don't think it will be Carolina.  He's a difficult fit, not that any one quirk is so bad as to disqualify him. 
Teams are always desperate to make the playoffs and are willing to sell out to get there.

Falcons suck. But replay sucked even worse today!
