Redskins Free Agency Week Two
March 20, 2018
by Steve Thomas
Well folks, we’re deep in the heart of the NFL’s free agency period, week two, so it seems like a good time to stop, take our collective breath, and take a look at what the Redskins have accomplished, what’s left to still get done, and most critically, what players are possibly left on the market that the Redskins could realistically sign. The fact is that the Redskins had a long list of needs going into the offseason, and it’s almost impossible to think that the team will solve every problem in one offseason. Progress can and already has been made, though, so I’m going to attempt to sort out what’s already happened and where the Redskins could possibly go from here.
Our website has quite a bit of information available, including our salary cap tracker (available here), roster (available here), a list of players signed by the Redskins (available here), and status of Redskins players whose contracts have expired (available here). We’ll keep all of these as up-to-date as we can.
Needs
At the start of free agency, the Redskins had big holes in several offensive position groups. First, Shawn Lauvoa’s expiring contract left the left guard position unmanned, and the incredible number of injuries that hammered the offensive line last year made clear the need to continue to improve depth in that group in general. The wide receiver group lost the player who was supposed to be their “#1” receiver, but wasn’t, Terrelle Pryor, as well as reliable possession receiver and coaching staff favorite, Ryan Grant, to free agency. As a result, this group still lacks both a receiver who could be a reliable “#1” option with the skill to successfully catch balls using the entire route tree, and a player who could stretch the field in the role that Desean Jackson used to play. Also, the team’s running game last season was abysmal – the roster is stocked with running backs, but successfully grabbed the role of RB1. Not to mention, of course, quarterback – we all know the story there, so I’ll spare you.
On defense, both starting inside linebackers, Mason Foster and Zach Brown, completed their contracts and were free agents. The defensive backfield was hard hit, with slot corner Kendall Fuller traded for Alex Smith, and #2 corner Bashaud Breeland and safety Deshazor Everett both entering free agency. The interior defensive line, while not missing starters like the offensive line, underperformed last year even despite the injuries and needs another infusion of talent to go along with Jonathan Allen, who is returning from injured reserve, and surprise 2017 starter Matt Ioannidis. Finally, the Redskins started the offseason missing outside linebacker depth with the free agency of both Trent Murphy and Junior Galette.
Activity thusfar
On offense, Thus far, the gaping hole at left guard, a #1 receiver, and the RB1 position remain unaddressed. Washington signed wide receiver Paul Richardson Jr., formerly of the Seattle Seahawks, to a 4 year, $40M contract that included $16.5M in guarantees. Richardson, who is a sub-4.4 level speedster, will fill the Desean Jackson role of deep man who will take the top off the defense. Richardson was not ranked in my wide receiver free agency preview (read it here), not because he doesn’t have talent, but because his career performance thusfar did not suggest that he was on a path to become a starting-level wide receiver: his best year was 2017, with 44 catches on 80 targets for 703 yards, 16.0 yards per reception, and 6 touchdowns. On his career, he has a 59% completion percentage for his career. This isn’t to say that I dislike this signing – Doug Williams and company deserve the benefit of the doubt. They are professionals and have clearly seen enough on film to believe that signing him is a worthwhile gamble, and I trust them. We’ll have more to say about Richardson in separate columns. Brian Quick brings size and experience to the wide receiver corps. He didn’t produce much last year – 11 games, 1 start, 6 receptions on 8 targets, and 76 yards – so it appears as though the coaching and scouting staffs think highly of him and have seen him perform well in practice. Quick’s contract is small by NFL standards at 1 year, $880,000, so he does not place a significant burden on the salary cap.
On the defensive side of the ball, the re-signing of Mason Foster and Zach Brown solves a major problem with the front seven. Brown’s limitations, of course, are well known: he’s bad in coverage, and linebacker pass coverage has been a problem for the Redskins defense for years. As productive as Brown has been against the run – there’s no doubt he would have led the NFL in tackles absent his injury – the fact is that he doesn’t solve the team’s coverage problems, and probably makes it worse. Regardless, Brown, who has a 3 year, $24M contract, provides the Redskins with a playmaker and an elite-level weakside pursuit linebacker, and he’ll be a benefit to the team. His contract is cheap in 2018, with a cap hit of only $2.7M, but comes with an $8M average annual value, which is fairly large for a non-pass rushing linebacker, and a 2019 cap hit of $8.75M, so he’ll need to produce to make this an effective signing. Foster, on the other hand, is on a bargain-bin contract of 2 years, $4M and a 2018 cap hit of only $1.4M and will most likely vastly outperform this contract absent injury.
The recent signing of former Dallas corner Orlando Scandrick, who allegedly signed for 2 years, $10M, will at a minimum provide much needed depth behind Quinton Dunbar and Fabian Moreau, and may possibly be the much-needed slot corner. Deshazor Everett’s re-signing gives the Redskins someone who is worthy of starting opposite D.J. Swearinger. Everett played through a hamstring injury last season to play 14 games, starting 8. On a 2 year, $2.6M contract, he’s a bargain and not so expensive that the Redskins couldn’t afford to have him transition to a backup role if another talented safety such as Tyrann Mathieu or Derwin James happens to join the team.
The Redskins also signed punter Sam Irwin-Hill, who will provide competition for Tress Way this offseason.
How much do the Redskins have left to spend?
The details of the Alex Smith, Zach Brown, and Brian Quick deals were recently released. After those contracts are applied, by my calculations, right at this moment, the Redskins have approximately $21.5M in cap space left[1]. This does not include Orlando Scandrick’s contract. This does not take the 2018 rookie pool figure into account, which Spotrac estimates at approximately $6.5M[2]. However, some of the rookie pool will be offset by the offseason Rule of 51. Therefore, when applying the rookie pool and taking into account an estimate of the Rule of 51 savings, the Redskins have approximately $16.8M remaining. If we take an educated guess for these purposes that Orlando Scandrick’s 2018 cap hit will be in the range of $3M-$4M, that puts the Redskins at approximately $12.5M-$14M in free cap space. The team can free up additional cap space by either restructuring existing contracts or releasing players, which comes with both plusses and minuses. We may do a separate post on these possibilities.
What’s left to do and who’s still available?
After signing two wide receivers, two starting-quality inside linebackers, a safety, and a corner, the principal holes left on the roster are, in order, at left guard, running back, and defensive line. It appears as though Josh Doctson is going to be given the opportunity to become the elite receiver he was drafted to become. While it’s highly unlikely that the Redskins can fill every need, some good players are still available. Let’s take a quick look at the possibilities:
Guards
- Jack Mewhort; 6’6”, 309 lbs, 26 years old: The best guard left on the market. Has serious injury concerns. Our full analysis of Mewhort can be found here.
- Matt Slauson; 6’5”, 320 lbs, 32 years old: Second-best guard still available. Slauson visited the Lions on Friday, March 18. Our full analysis of Slauson can be found here.
- Evan Smith; 6’2”, 308 lbs, 31 years old: 2009 UDFA out of Idaho St. Was a full-time start in 2013 for Green Bay and 2014 for Tampa Bay. Played 111 games, started 53. Has played center, left guard, and right guard as a pro, but more center than guard.
- Jonathan Cooper; 6’2”, 308 lbs, 28 years old: 2013 1st round pick by Arizona out of North Carolina. Considered a bust, but at least he’s young. Has played right guard for most of his career. Full-time starter for the first time in his career last year with Dallas when he started weeks 4 – 17. Hasn’t generated much interest so far.
- Joe Berger; 6’5”, 305 lbs, 35 years old: 2005 6th round pick by Carolina out of Michigan Tech. Has played center and both guard positions. Full-time starter for Miami in 2010 and for Minnesota from 2015-2017. Reports are that the Vikings want him back, and the Lions are supposedly also interested.
- Jahri Evans; 6’4”, 318 lbs, 34 years old: 2006 4th round pick by the Saints out of Bloomsburg. 6x Pro Bowler and 4x First Team All Pro whose best days are behind him. Full-time starter his entire career. Was with Green Bay last season and is reportedly considering retirement.
Running Back
- Orleans Darkwa; 6’0”, 215 lbs, 25 years old: Best combination of youth and proven performance left on the market. Our full analysis of Darkwa can be found here.
- Demarco Murray; 6’1”, 220 lbs, 30 years old: 2011 3rd round pick out of Oklahoma by Dallas. 3x Pro Bowler, 2014 First Team All-Pro. Has 1604 carries for 7,174 yards, 4.5 yards per carry. Past his prime and not a RB1 anymore. Released by Titans on March 8, 2018.
- Alfred Morris; 5’9”, 220 lbs, 29 years old: The beloved former Redskin finished his contract with Dallas and is available again. Had 115 carries last season and averaged 4.8 yards per carry. At this point in his career, he’s no longer a RB1 but can still contribute.
- Thomas Rawls; 5’9”, 215 lbs, 24 years old: 2015 undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan. The one-time Seattle prodigy has struggled with performance and injuries over the last two seasons. He’d be a big leap of faith at this point. Averaged 5.6 yards per carry as a rookie. Visited the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Christine Michael; 5’10”, 220 lbs, 27 years old: 2013 2nd round pick by Seattle out of Texas A&M.
Interior Defensive Line
- Ndamukong Suh; 6’5”, 305 lbs, 31 years old: 2010 1st round pick from Nebraska by Detroit. 5x Pro Bowlers, 2x First Team All Pro. Elite talent who is by far the top interior defensive lineman on the market. Known as a mercurial personality. Principal downsides are his very high costs, and to a lesser extent, the fact that he’s principally played in 4-3 systems
- Johnathan Hankins; 6’3”, 320, 26 years old: Picked in the 2nd round of the 2013 draft by the Giants out of Ohio St. Visited the Redskins on Monday. Has been a starter since his second year. 113 tackles, 71 assists, 12.0 sacks.
- Bennie Logan; 6’2”, 315 lbs, 28 years old: 3rd round pick in 2013 by the Eagles out of LSU. Played for Kansas City on a one year deal in 2017. True nose tackle who is principally known as a run-stopper. Full-time starter since 2014. Has 159 tackles, 60 assisted tackles, and 7 sacks.
- Dominique Easley; 6’2”, 285 lbs, 26 years old: A bust as a 2014 1st round pick from Florida by the Patriots. Has only started 3 games in his career. 39 career tackles, 20 assisted tackles, 6.5 sacks. Missed all of 2017 with an ACL injury.
Finally, I’m not going to do a full analysis of outside linebackers / edge rushers, but I’d be remiss in failing to mention that Junior Galette is still on the market and is supposedly negotiating with the Redskins in some form or another. Get it done, Bruce / Eric / Doug / Mr. Snyder. The team needs speed coming off the edge.
The remaining defensive line market, in particular, is fairly barren behind Johnathan Hankins, so if the Redskins don’t rope Hankins in, it’s possible that they’ll look to the draft to solve that particular problem. The running back market is similarly dry – other than Orleans Darkwa, I don’t believe any of the remaining backs have a better than average chance of substantially improving what the team already has. The nostalgia of a return of Alfred Morris would be great, of course, but that’s another story.

I’ve actually designed brush guards that deflect deer down and away, lol, 4130 Chromoly tube, just knock ‘um in the side ditch.
18 wheelers hit deer (people too) and turn them into paint.
Happy Thursday!
Hpy Hpy
Bicycle people are a growing problem in this country, like a plague of locusts, like crab migrations. A experienced cyclist that rides with traffic is one thing, a tottering office hack hell-bent on becoming fit, or saving the environment, is something totally different. These people don’t follow the rules of the road, then cry foul when the road devours them. It’s sad that she died, but that doesn’t mean you ruin this man’s life because she walked out in front of him (he’s gotta live with that already). People get hit trying to cross streets and expressways every single day, every single day. Background checks, permits, bike safety classes, OR FUCKING BAN THEM.
FWIW, many jurisdictions have bike rules for reflectors, flashing lights, and head lamps. when I was in Nebraska (might have been a Lincoln ordinance) you had to have a blinking red light on the rear of the bike while riding (day or night).
It’s awful. A human died. But I don’t go around “we have a long way to go with driverless cars” because of that incident. The ped did everything wrong there.
Yeah, I know.
when I first watched the video, it was like one of those prank vids people used to send out, you know, a gif where you’re looking at an email and all the sudden a ghost or whatever jumps out at you. I was expecting to see the vehicle approach an intersection and some gross failure by human and car. Instead, with almost no warning… boom. as a human, there’s no indication that a ped would be crossing there. poorly lit, and it isn’t like there’s a shopping center with bars and restaurants on the left and residential hood on the right. It is completely unexpected in human terms.
She wasn’t even looking at the car about to hit her, either.
Jaywalking? Walking out in front of traffic?
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D8IqpUK5teGM&ved=0ahUKEwj7-dGe2v_ZAhXhTN8KHQojAFMQo7QBCCQwAA&usg=AOvVaw2I2y4PXwCnz68YxDVHdyKz
Tragic. Could both the driver and robotic systems done better? Probably. Would most humans have done better? Probably not. In fact, in the case that that was a deer, the way you don’t lose control of your vehicle is power through. I’m not suggesting you treat peds like deer, but in real life, not hindsite, your mind may not even cognate that that was a person by the time you’ve already reacted. I know when I’ve almost hit a deer, many times you just have time for your butt to pucker, grip the steering wheel and not panic with the brake. To me, if we’re expecting robotic cars to be at the very least as good as humans (the baseline) then IF YOU WERE to program a car… a Volvo XC90 btw, not a Mazda 6 that’s cut and lean) taking the emotion out of it, you’d program the car (assuming it had only frail human vision and had similar reaction times and movements to human) to power through that object to maintain control of the vehicle, protecting passengers and other drivers on the road.
We hit deer all the time. Fuckers just run right out in front of you, or even into the side of your vehicle. If there is traffic, I bust that ass. Stay straight in my lane and blast them. If I’m out in the sticks (which is 90% of my commute) I’ll brake hard and try to miss them or just clip them (this takes practice). I wouldn’t recommend for an average person that doesn’t dodge deer on the regular, try this though, as you’ll likely run off the road and down an embankment or wrapped around an oak tree.
I remember as a kid our school bus went by an incident where a large dog was hit. big pool of blood, obviously the dog did not survive. the car? upside down in the ditch adjacent to the road.
Sometimes you just gotta put them under your wheels. If you brake hard (controlled obviously) and have time to ease over to minimize impact, less damage to your vehicle. If you go to jerking the wheel or swerving wildly, you’re gonna wreck.
So, the police released the video of the Uber car hitting the woman (it stops just before she’s hit). While we can always strive for better, my first thought was; almost no human driver doesn’t hit her. Maybe someone super caffeinated with race-car reflexes does, but from the video I saw on my cell phone, it’s dark, it’s not at a lit intersection with a crosswalk and traffic signal, it’s like a stretch of road and then, suddenly, there’s a deer. there’s no reflection off any reflectors from the bike she’s walking with. It looks like a parkway type of road where the speed is prob about 50. It’s tragic, but at the same time, it isn’t IMO reason to shut down a driverless project or question it’s validity because it is at least as much as you would expect from a human. No human driver would be charged in that incident unless the vid I saw was doctored (sped up for example).
*There’s also an internal camera showing the driver, and he looks only half awake. He was not going to stop that car, he might have barely hit the brakes before the hit.
Post the video or it’s all for naught.
Or….put yer head back down.
Not everyone is built to see that kind of thing.
It’s PG-13
Nope especially since cars with real drivers in them kill pedestrians all the time.
Detroit signed 2 DT’s so there out of the Hankins business so that helps us because that was the other team he visited.

I hope those franks are kosher
She’s not picky… the more the merrier is the only requirement
foot longs ?
No, just bun length
I’m pretty sure this broke the blog. Goodnight, until it’s fixed.
if you were as old as he is, a cute, young chick… at his age? you’d check that box. even if she was into tofu dogs.
Guice or Kerryon Johnson would be the backs on my board. Maybe Justin Crawford as late round sleeper pick… I wouldnt draft a RB for the sake of doing so if your guy is gone. There will be several homerun hitters next year as well esp if Anderson/OU comes out…
Royce Freeman
I dunno ? We have Perine who is pretty close in measurables and college stats… Just not real hip on Pac12 defenses of late.
Wash vs Oregon Nov 4 ’17. : Vita Vea 2 solo tackles 3 total. Freeman 24 carries 122 yards in 38-3 loss. Fwiw…
We have seven RB’s on the roster at the moment…
Damn… swvwn… that’s a LOT of running backs
And extremely bad typing
Just going on VP and the Coachspeak…
Just caught Deadeye Dunkins draft article. Interesting…just not in on Harold Landry at 13 myself tho w the other talents there. As well I just dont see Rashard Penny translating to the NFL. My comp for him would be Ameer Abdullah w the Lions. Really liked Abdullah in college but his translation to the NFL (albeit been injured alot too) just hasnt materialized. Just don’t see Penny being a workhorse and staying on the field.. I like his Ragnow pick a lot.
…anyone named Ragnow
I like this guy a whole lot. Mauler like Scherff.
The Raiders have signed LB Emmanuel Lamur…
I keep kinda dissing the Raiders moves..kinda like the Browns but then it kicks in… new coach there and new regime over there. (Browns will ditch Hue in season w any sort of slow or sluggish start…book it )
Ricky Jean to Detroit along w S. Williams. I thought Ricky Jean was the consistent rotational guy w the Skins… Chris Long not sure of going back to Eagles. Thats fine w me.
Hankins…wonder who he is going to pick ? This guy holding up my draft takes….
updated with 72 mocks now
Vita Vea, DT, Washington 16
Derwin James, S, Florida State 14
Da’Ron Payne, DT, Alabama 8
Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama 7
Roquan Smith, ILB, Georgia 5
Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State 5
Mike Hughes, CB, Central Florida 4
Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech 2
Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama 2
Maurice Hurst, DL, Michigan 2
Marcus Davenport, DE, Texas-San Antonio 2
Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa 1
James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State 1
Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville 1
Isaiah Wynn, G, Georgia 1
D. J. Moore, WR, Maryland 1
so, that’s DT 24
S/slot 16
CB 11
WR 9
ILB 7 Not sure where to put Tremaine, but I would play him here)
OLB/DE 2
G 1
So I guess we are going to take a G at 13
Please no WR at 13….
There are some real shit picks in this group
Washington, Wynn and Moore all a reach at #13

Comparing QB Deals
Here’s a closer look at the contracts of Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins:
SMITH COUSINS
Signing bonus $27M $3M
Guaranteed $$ $71M $84M
2018 cap hit $18.4M $24M
2019 cap hit $20.4M $29M
2020 cap hit $21.4M $31M
Might want to throw in the value of Fuller and the 3rd round pick for Smith calculation…
Doesnt fit the agenda
So y’all fixed the human condition, awesome. *smashes easy button.

Doesn’t sound very fun, no sex, no money, no different people.
Suburban whore house and casino….it’s a thing. Just got to get it so it’s not unlawful.
And we’re off again!
Alright kids… off to the gym. Go get Hankins and drag him back while I’m gone will ya?
If any of these guys could drag him anywhere, we don’t need him.

I thought Pryor sign with the Seahawks? NFLN just said he is close to signing with a team.
I’m going to be pissed if he puts up over 1K yds. this year.
That Pryor to Seahawks thing last week was a fake.
The Seahawks have signed lineman D.J. Fluker
I don’t even know’er.
murder usually comes down to three things money, sex/love or revenge
The motive triple crown.
drug deals gone bad – money
wife banging another dude – sex/love
neighbor playing music too loud – revenge
Terrorism?
terrorism is a form of warfare so the causation is political in nature
so not murder pre se
Long way of saying revenge.
The “money” part is usually where the criminal is trying to get money illegally somehow, robbery, drug deals, etc., and ends up killing someone.
I can also say that of all of the death penalty matters I worked on (not involved any more), every one of those bastards deserved the punishment.
You only need to hang mean bastards…but mean bastards you need to hang
We don’t hang people anymore…too messy.
Too bad
Or maybe I’m just very angry…
– Ted Kaczynski
technically he is a revenge killer because he was upset over the construction that destroyed the rural area in which he was living
but yes dude was super angry with society

In other words we’ll low ball them and if they get a better offer… buh bye…
Pretty much, except it’s called a “patient approach”.
Yeah… makes it sound like they’re very smart when the reality is a much different thing.
It’s insanity to say that laws have no effect. And that’s being nice. Laws establish a cost/benefit analysis for actions. Sure, people speed despite speed limits, but the laws do have an effect. That can be seen clearly by looking at data from before and after changes to speed limit laws. If you increase speed limits people will, on average, drive faster, and you will have more fatalities.
Same goes for gun laws. There’s a clear correlation between gun homicides, gun ownership rates, and gun laws, even within the states, and dramatically so among nations.
speed kills because
people do not understand physics
don’t maintain their vehicles
drive the same way at 30mph as 100mph
but homicide rate varies wildly vs gun ownership across the globe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
I was in a particular state’s maximum security prison (not Texas) on a special tour of their facility and their death row area several years ago. The prison staff let a few prisoners talk to the group. Most of them were reasonable. One particular prisoner had originally been given a death sentence but had it converted to life without parole as a result of the Furman v. Georgia decision in 1972, so he was older than dirt but still alive and kicking. He’d been a mob hitman and had been convicted of multiple counts of capital murder.
I and everyone thought the intent of letting him speak was to allow him to advocate for better prison conditions, more prisoner rights, talk about his experiences, something like that.
As it turns out, his issue was that he wanted an annual “Death Day”, a/k/a like the movie The Purge (this was before the movie), where he could kill everyone who deserved it on that day. The prison guards were cracking up, and most of us in the group (which included a couple of heavy hitters) were cynical enough to just roll our eyes. A couple were horrified. Why they let this man talk I’ll never understand, except that it just amused the prison staff. He’ll no doubt never be on the local news saying that stuff.
Those type of people are very, very few and far between. My experience is that 99% of the people, including most in prison, don’t want to kill anybody.
You have an amazing ability to claim knowledge of things that are absolutely unknowable. Do you honestly not think that the murder rate would skyrocket if there was no law against homicide? Or if the penalty was a $50 fine?
Actually, I have an amazing ability to tell a simple story that was interesting. That’s it. Don’t forget who you’re talking to – I’m in favor of a much greater use of the death penalty.
Not sure how you got to believing that I think there shouldn’t be laws against homicide by me telling that story.
Remember who you are trying to have a rational conversation with… expecting him to think anything like beyond a 8 year old level.
I was specifically talking about: “My experience is that 99% of the people, including most in prison, don’t want to kill anybody.”
I stand by that. In fact, a good chunk of murderers out there didn’t really want to kill anybody; it just happened for various reasons, like in conjunction with another felony, drugs, etc.
if it was a $50 fine I got about 10 stupid idiots I would kill
but the issue would be that it would be like Sicily with wall the killings and revenge killings
no law stop anyone from doing anything
it’s boundary condition with defined consequences
people decide which side of the boundary they want to be on
out walking around eating cheeseburgers or restricted to a cell with a very horny Bubba
people speed because
1. probability of getting caught is low
2. consequences are purely financial, up to a point
In other words the law has no effect…
gives the police the ability to enforce
you have to define the boundaries and enforce at some level
like every month I know TPD is going to be on Bruce B Downs with a speed trap
Been there, done that…
it does because you rarely see anyone go into the realm of a reckless driving charge (usually 20 over)
so part of it is about consequences
I don’t know about you but I get passed every day by people doing well over that 20 mph limit you refer to. Every single day.
people don’t kill people often because
1, probability of getting caught is medium to high
2, consequences are significant and life altering
People don’t kill people because most are good hearted and have no desire to hurt others.
you’ve been where I’ve been and that is not true for a good portion of the world
I’ve lived in 26 countries and fought in a few more. I know there are good and bad people everywhere but most people just want to live a life with their families and be left alone.
true with their tribe, but too many parts of Africa and parts Asia one tribe would just as soon kill the other tribe as be nice to them
Have to agree… Niger for example is a total mess…
Never dealt with Col Kountche back in the day
but all those guys were of the same cloth
Yep… I took a shot in the chest in Niger… almost killed me.
OMG thank goodness you’re still with us
Laughing…
no laughing is me taking a bullet frag in the ass going to bar in Spain at same time some jokers decided to shoot it up
what I get for going to a US Sailor bar
Well if you hadn’t volunteered to serve your country you would have never been in that bar in the first place.
I never volunteered, I got roped into it so to speak
I was never in the military or officially a government employee
I was officially either a defense contractor or private contractor
Ahhhh sooo… funny story about the Niger thing. After I came to from the anesthetic after surgery, they gave me a satellite phone to call my wife. When I called her she said she was busy and to call her back later. She’s never quite lived that one down.
I did same thing to my wife
we had major problem at work and she called saying neighbor (former Navy nurse) was talking her to hospital
because she thought my wife had pneumonia
and I was like OK tell me what they doctor says and hung up
Laughing… so hard…
yeah that cost me a diamond tennis bracelet

Let’s recap shall we?
If you just take the last 2 shootings… what worked 50% of the time? [Responsible gun toting human.
What has failed in ALL MASS SHOOTINGS 100% of the time? Laws…
You will NEVER convince the Dem’s of that.
Yet they are actual facts
Yep…
What most rational people understand is that that there is no ONE magic bullet *cough* to reduce mass shootings in schools or elsewhere. What’s needed is a common sense, multipronged approach involving stricter gun laws and improved security.
Stricter gun laws do nothing… they are a complete facade and symbolic measure that just restricts the rights of the law abiding citizenry.
Stricter guns laws will accomplish exactly zero.
if we’re going to play with the edges
what has also worked in a lot of other countries, not allowing private ownership of semi-automatic weapons
We are not other countries
that is correct and the basis of our gun ownership laws is much different
Gun laws only restrict the rights of law abiding citizens. That’s the point. A law doesn’t stop you from driving over the speed limit does it?
A law provides a deterrent effect for those who allow themselves to be deterred, which is 99% of the law-abiding citizens out there, and a basis for punishment for those caught disobeying.
What a law doesn’t do is stop anyone who’s determined to go ahead in spite of said law.
criminals do not walk into gun stores and buy guns
This is why gun-free zones are so pointless.
True.
But the Speed Limit is the posted limit +9 everywhere in the country (at least, in my 25 years of driving all over the country, it is the unwritten rule), so there is some gray area, unwritten traffic rules of the road being one example.
There’s only a gray area with regard to speed limits because local municipalities like the manpower or will to more closely enforce them.
and because people would riot and mobs would drag out public officials for the first public executions in a long time if they enforced non-dangerous speeding to the actual limits… short of just going ahead and raising most limits 5-10 mph
but mostly, it’s just not worth the court and law effort in most jurisdictions.
Actually guns laws usually restrict the rights of people we don’t want to have guns
like felons, mentally ill people, people with domestic violence issues, etc
…but that’s not what DEMS are proposing… they are proposing restricting EVERYONE’S rights
Hey, so let’s get rid of ALL laws, since they don’t make any difference. Is that what you’re trying to say?
Yep
As Steve said, a law provides a deterrent effect for those who allow themselves to be deterred, which is 99% of the law-abiding citizens out there, and a basis for punishment for those caught disobeying.
What a law doesn’t do is stop anyone who’s determined to go ahead in spite of said law.
I like to feel confident in what I like to call “The Red Dawn Effect” anyways…
Absolutely, the highly trained and courageous cop was by far the most significant factor.
That said … the shooter did NOT have an assault weapon so how was MD’s ban not a factor? Might it have gone differently if the shooter had an AR-15 with high capacity clips and armor piercing rounds? Probably not, but possibly so.
That would have made zero difference.
Neither you nor I have any basis to say whether or not it would have made a difference.
Right he couldn’t have done more damage with a AR-15 give me a break dude.
if I was nuts an assault rifle would be about 4th on my list going into the confinements of a school
but for rooting out an assailant, it might be 2nd
Do you even know what an AR-15 is?
Well, Maryland also has a ban on hand guns for people under 21… so…
Well they probably had something to do with there being no casualties but the shooter.
For the first time in recorded history, someone finds a meme that actually agrees with their world view.
Actually it doesn’t 100% agree with my world view. I would be fine with age limits on what you people call “assault weapons.” I think it might have some positive effect. Many of the Conservatives also don’t want to infringe on people’s rights by allowing judges or authorities to arbitrarily take away mentally ill people’s gun rights. It’s one area where I am decidedly NOT Libertarian.
Bubba Watson just hit a 374 yard drive…
The Lions signed Sylvester Williams. WHY HAVEN’T WE SIGNED HANKINS YET?

If you’re being facetious I’m not at work today and when I am I’m never on the internet.
when people are just hands and feet of someone else at a white collar job, that is, they are not their own boss and they don’t get to act on their own creativity, and they don’t have large game-style performance targets to hit
they’re going to be on the internet, even if it is multi-tasking. they will find a creative outlet between working on the machine’s work. it just is. even if it is on their phone.
And if they do that while working for me they’ll be fired on the spot.

Sad… no one wanted to run so he was unopposed. Had tried 5 times previously and was kicked to the curb every time. Now with no one running against him he ends up the nominee.
I’d like to know when Johnathan Hankins became a hall of famer.
When the Redskins didn’t sign him before he left the building
He’s a great run stopper
We are a sieve against the run. He’s 25 and would only cost money
What’s not to like?
The NFL today announced a new broadcast arrangement in which NFL Network and FOX will team up to simulcast live coverage of Rounds 1-3 of the 2018 NFL Draft. Additionally, the league has expanded its partnership with ESPN/ABC whereby ESPN2 will supplement ESPN’s coverage of Round 1 with a separate and unique college-themed production in addition to a simulcast of ESPN’s live coverage of Rounds 4-7 airing on ABC.
full details here
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000922401/article/nfl-expanding-television-coverage-for-2018-nfl-draft
Expanding availability to an audience that is shrinking.
Yea. I can see why that makes sense to the networks.
I won’t watch a second of that over the top hype…
Here is what I don’t want to happen
I don’t want to lose out on Hankins and respond by signing either Sylvester Williams or Bennie Logan
That’s not gonna make any sense
Hankins won’t come here unless he doesn’t get any other offers.
That’s BS.
Only you would say that… because… you’re a dolt.
Logan > McClain
add Logan and Vea would be good for DL
Yeah, Logan then a DT early, sort of the same as Hankins then DT mid-round.
They’re no Hankins, however, both have got plenty of tread on the tires still. One would think Tomsula would manage to get some quality production out of them.
So NFL rumor on Breeland is he has staph infection in his wound or possibly even MRSA
that’s why the Panthers took a pass
Not something to fuck around with. They’ll cut off his foot.
There’s always his rap career .
Aye, Peg master flex
Damn. Bree’s gonna lose his foot. All because he couldn’t handle not being the man.
Snow wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

It worked for them…. in other words they slow rolled Brown and he eventually signed a cap friendly, team friendly deal. Looks to me like some players these days are figuring the Redskins front office out. Just say no and walk away.
Who’s Gallete going to walk away too? Haven’t heard a single peep about him outside the Redskins.
That’s the Redskins whole play here. Don’t offer a deal of any real value unless you’re forced to. Even then, they just let the player walk. If Gallette gets an offer I guarantee the Skins will let him go.
Darren Sproles is still out there waiting for a team to bring him in. That guy is a true return threat and can catch the ball out of the backfield. I know he’s 34 and coming off knee surgery but I’d give him a look.
agreed
No way
This is why you’ll never build a Championship team Steve…
Its funny. I have a 3.5 year old. You can already tell the difference between the children that have been socialized at a young age through preschool and those that have not. Learning how to interact with others is an essential life skill, and if you don’t understand that well go fuck yourself, you idiot.
Laughing… nice.
Why millenials are failing and accepting communism
bursting out loud
schooling whether it is home based or government based is only as good as the effort you put into it
if the parents are not engaged don’t expect someone else to pick up the slack
this biggest issue I have seen is fundamentalist home schooling where the kids end up with limited social skills and very skewed science knowledge
My brother started a software company in Gaithersburg in the early 90s. I was the VP of Sales & Marketing. He was an active member at Covenant Life Church, a G’burg mega-church, and insisted that he do all of the hiring.
Many of the families home-schooled their kids, or sent them to the mega-church school. He would hire these kids to do sales, and it was my job to see that they did well. They were sweet kids, but dumber than bricks, and most of them had very limited attention spans, at least when it came to work.
I eventually managed to get them to work as a team, and let them know that the were responsible for making that their peers were able to put food on the table. In time, it worked. Revenues grew nicely, the kids turned into fine adults, and the company became successful, and was ultimately acquired by a large software company.
Some of those kiddos still stay in touch with me and Mrs. Austin.
The Eagles redid Chris Longs contract giving him a pay raise and guaranteed money for 2018
Weird how they are doing this
They did the same with Lane Johnson and Ertz ..
So, The Austin bomber was home-schooled and his parents were prominent Amway leaders. Betsy DeVos is the Amway queen. She, and by default, Donald Trump. obviously radicalized him.
– Ban home schooling
– Ban Amway
– Arrest Betsy DeVos now
– Drag Trump out of the White House in handcuffs
Problem solved.
The stress of all the area bombings has obviously caused you to go insane.
Just having fun connecting the obvious dots.
Troll
Ha!
I was serious about taking you shooting. The offer’s open, with the caveat that it’d need to be a weekend that I am free enough to drive to Austin.
Thanks. I have actually shot at a range before. It just didn’t do anything for me. But I appreciate the offer.
it would be more pragmatic to ban non-home schooling
Home-schooled bozos are the people who tell you how Jews control the weather.
not everyone wants their kids indoctrinated into the borg, and primarily that is what schools do
I wasn’t home schooled, my wife doesn’t want to do it for our kids, but I know plenty of folks who grew up and became very independent, successful parts of society. Some of them go to special programs outside the home for science and socialization. What prob happens less so is that those kids become a part of the machine. Even the Ivy’s have that problem. They are very poor at producing what we think they produce. For the most part, they too just provide gears for the machine.
we already have plenty of evidence that what makes or breaks a kid in all organized schools are the parents, not anything that actually happens (or doesn’t) at the school
My only stipulation for homeschooling is that the parents should have to be tested in some way to see if it’s even practical. I understand it’s a right, but for fuck’s sake, at least be competent enough to actually teach your kids.
I think the need for socialization that comes with being in regular school is lost on some of these home-schooling advocates.
Yes, I agree. There is a family near us…….total failure, homeschooling their kids, insuring the next generation of fail.
It takes a village…
“skewed historical origin”……..
usually home school kids have their own social programs
and beyond that, a lot of these families have a family social structure… because they have 3, 4, 5+ kids
I was already too shy as a kid…I’d have been a complete shut-in if my parents had home-schooled me.
when I was in a tech school for my afternoon HS classes I met a handful of home school kids, and they were a mix, and I think most of them (can’t remember the name of the program) were a part of a program where they all met a couple of times a week for a couple of hours to do science stuff and then later hang out.
the kids should take some kind of performance based milestone tests or whatever for skills and retention; but that kind of thing is often one of the reasons kids are home schooled, the organized school only teaches to the performance milestones and those many think are flawed
Like I said, if the parents are competent, so be it.
if the parents aren’t competent in some ways, the kids are not going to be high performers in an organized school either (but maybe better than being home schooled)
allegedly
Dude……just trust me on this. These are not the homeschoolers that you know.
yes, I agree zig. The kids can turn out very well if they are given good lessons
It hurts me to see some of these kids “miss out” because of their parents. Of course this pertains to public school kids also, but at least they have a chance beyond the home.
“They wanted to express their condolences to the families of those who’ve been affected, and that will be reflected in the statement,” Mr. Fugitt said. “This family has been very cooperative. They’ve gone above and beyond, to answer any questions that we’ve had. We don’t have any information to believe that the family had any knowledge of these events.”
I remember a big box of Amway detergent. Somehow it had solidified and we had to chop away at it to get a scoop’s worth.
A bunch of military folks and spouses got in trouble years ago for selling Amway on base. It was a big scandal for awhile.
The Amway bigwigs know most of their downlines will do very little to actually sell product and recruit others. They do make a ton of money organizing paid rallies, selling their motivational tapes, books, etc.
My only experience with Amway was when shortly after I got married we got invited to dinner at another couples’s home, had a nice dinner followed by a 2 hour Amway pitch
at the end they asked what do you think, I said I’m disappointed I thought we were going to swing
never had dinner with them again and Mrs Noone was pretty angry at me
but nobody ever tried to MLM crap with us again
Ha! Sounds like a scene from Raising Arizona!

According to Al Riveron’s announcement, catch rule proposal says control of the football with two feet (or another body part) on the ground, then receiver must perform a football move (such as taking another step or reaching the ball toward the goal line) or be able to do that.
A football move? In the end zone?
Whatever that means.
which body parts? elbows, knees, hips? do genitals count?
many questions still
So if you catch a ball on the sideline going out of bounds and all you have are two toe tips on the ground, you can’t make a “football move” before falling to the ground. No catch.
when it comes to violence and minorities, most white people are like Don Zaluchi
In my city, we’d keep the traffic to the Dark People, the Coloreds – they’re animals anyway, so let them lose their souls.
they keep it to themselves but that is what they are thinking
but let the problem come to their neighborhood and they will raise all hell to fix that
Yep
how is that different than any other group of people? all people see their families, extended families, and communities through different lenses than they do others as a normal function, you have to conciously not do it. but that is exacerbated if the Other is also not doing that, when the Other continues to be um… for lack of a better term… tribal or communal themselves, it only reinforces them as the Other.
You won’t get an answer
That’s true of anything that disturbs the neighborhood.
Minorities. Car lots. Fracking. Kids. Coyote. Jehovah Witness. Public Storage. Applebees.
Really, anything.
“the” neighborhood, or any “hood”?

.@BMitchliveNBCS believes the #Redskins quiet off-season is not only due to a more financially cautious franchise … but also a “lost luster” making D.C. not the free-agent destination it once was.
and by lost-luster, he means they’re a more financially cautious (conscious?) franchise and are no longer paying aging vets wild golden parachutes to end their career?
I do not think you know the meaning of these words…
it’s all jewel belt lean six sigma paradigming
Those two things run hand in hand
Financially cautious + not very good = Not gonna be a desired destination.
translation – stay away from DC they are not spending money like drunken sailors on liberty
BMitch…FA’s have signed all over the map. And then you got all that luster in Dallas…and they ain’t signed anyone.
So.
FA’s go to whoever will pay them the most generally, and that’s not the Skins right now. If we sign somebody it’s because we offered them more than anybody else did. it’s pretty simple. We certainly aren’t getting any discounts, but few teams do
So let’s get down to brass tacks. Teams that traditionally do not get into the play-off’s and contend late in the season aren’t very attractive to blue-chip players. The only way to draw a top shelf player to such a team is to offer them a LOT of cash. A bad team low-balling top shelf talent isn’t going to work.
This is true. Really what that means is we need to draft extremely well. Unfortunately the guys maing the picks right now have never done that before. We need homeruns. All Pros
Hankins went to Indy.
Dude doesn’t care about any luster.
Follow the money. Less an occasional older vet looking for a playoff run.

Freaking out on Facebook
That’s not reality
============================
you want to see freaking out on Facebook
post that people should not be allowed to own assault rifles
I seen people who have been friends for 20 years start calling each other vile and disgusting names on Facebook, when then at that point someone unfriends someone
which is why I wish people happy birthday and post cute picture of my dogs on Facebook and not much else
I’m so glad I’m not on Facebook.
Bingo
I don’t care what you believe politically
Please take the same approach with me
I believe what I believe and you are free to do the same
This exchange between Steve and BTG made me chuckle….
Sounds like fun, guess I’ll have to get a facebook page goin’.
What do you do if Marcus Davenport is there at 13?
Pass
If we get Hankins then why not take him?
It was interesting watching the reaction among people I know in Austin to the bombings.
Two black people die on the East Side of town: This is terrible. Looked like good people. Thoughts and prayers. Hope they get this guy.
Two White kids injured on the Southwest side of town: Holy F-ing SHIT!!! I know people in that neighborhood. I’m next. APD DO SOMETHING!!!
Typical Austin type reaction to now make this a race issue…
Just an observation. I have a lot of friends on Facebook that went from concerned to freaking out. For my part, I didn’t want to give the bomber the satisfaction of knowing I was afraid. I trusted that law enforcement would take him down, probably sooner rather than later.
Austin is a very liberal town. Are you saying your liberal buddies are racist?
My neighborhood skews more Republican than Democrat. Old money.
Your neighborhood? Thought this was on Facebook? Stop with the race baiting Austin.
and they are republicans . Convenient.
Naturally
Most of my Facebook friends from Austin, and folks at my country club are moderately to extremely conservative. It is their reactions I’m talking about. And yes, they were freaking out on Facebook.
Freaking out on Facebook
That’s not reality
Also, though, the reaction would be worse if it’s an area they’re familiar with. I back you up on the “lots of racists” in Texas thing, but I disagree with your analysis of the bombing reactions.
Funny how your “observations” align with your political leanings huh?
Naw, it’s more like most white people I know in Texas are racist. The more conservative they are the uglier they get.
Most white people you know in Texas are racist… hmmm… my wife was born and raised in Texas. She graduated from Texas A&M with her Bachelors and got her Masters at Texas. She doesn’t see it the way you do. Should I listen to you or her?
No one recommends you listen to him.
Sounds like you have some racist friends
There are a ton of Texans who are pretty nice to your face, but are pretty freaking racist when they let their guard down.
Replace “Texas” with “every state.”
You don’t live here. Austin is right; I think it’s worse here, and I’ve lived pretty much everywhere.
There are alot of closet racists in Texas.
There are both closet and overt racists in every country in the world… you know, wherever you find people. And I’ve lived in 26 countries.
I’ve been all over the world, too, and in my opinion, it’s worse in Texas. I can’t count the number of times people around here have said stuff to me just because I’m white and conservative that makes my skin scrawl . Worse here than many other places I’ve lived. That’s not to say it’s #1 on the hit list or anything, but I think it’s worse here.
Injury bug got us on both sides of the ball last year. We choked against Saints….no doubt. I do think tho that some of those guys who filled in last year will be better this year. Does say something about our depth. We do need to improve the 1st string talent on this team. And you do that with your early draft picks and go after day 1 guys in FA.
last game against Giants we could not do much on either side of the ball
truly suck ass game for us
I think we just gave up that game. Not a good look, but we looked good against equally talented teams in Denver and Arizona at home. Not sure why they laid an egg in NY..oh wait we always do that.
in non-football news
it will interesting to see what Shonda Rhimes does at Netflix without all the restrictions of commercial TV
could have huge impact on future of streaming services versus traditional TV
With this storm coming I’ll give her some direct feedback as I’m about to binge watch the punisher tonight
Ew
Anybody do fanboard intel on the real reason Hankins was released? Illegitimate child, gambler, locker room cancer, etc? I mean damn
Scheme change
He came from Giants 4-3 right? And he was a beast in Indy last year.

Redskins Interested In DT Bennie Logan, But No Visit Scheduled http://bit.ly/2pqXBSw #Redskins
Redskins interest in Logan. WHY HAVEN’T WE SIGNED HANKINS YET?
My major worry is the defense not the offense
even if we don’t draft a RB or LG, this offense will be putting up points on people
the defense needs to be better it cost us at least 3 games last year
Hopefully Manusky studied up on how to defend no huddle
Baloney… if the offense had scored more points last year we would have won more games.
– flounder
Technically, that’s correct….
Then don’t waste your time building the defense… just get better offensive players…
I know you’re being funny
but we get that 1 yard on offense against the Saints, maybe we run out the clock and win that game
but the defense was so bad with all those injuries
We went through 7 RB’s and at least 11 offensive linemen last year.
yup plenty of injuries all around

This could impact their decision to pursue Hankins, but they could have more than one hole to fill on the D-line.
Its still snowing. WHY HAVEN’T WE SIGNED HANKINS YET?
Sunny and cool here but winter is over on Friday when temp > 72 and mostly in 80’s for next 14 days
Its still sunny and pleasant in Tampa area. WHY HAVEN’T WE SIGNED HANKINS YET?
LOL
So far, other than fixing the QB debacle they’d put themselves in with the Alex Smith trade, the Front Office has done little to change the status quo of the team. Richardson should be a better receiver than Pryor but is he a game changing guy that defenses fear? I don’t get that feeling about him. Everything else remains the same except we’ve lost multiple players to other teams that started for us.
As of today, I agree. Still early. Alex Smith needs help just like 95% of QBs. DL, OL, running game and capable WRs. Not quite there yet…
Alex Smith is a great pick-up for the team. He’ll play well for us. He must have a solid team on the field with him that also plays well for us.
Richardson has speed which defenses will have to respect with Jay’s scheme
the best thing he does is open underneath for Crowder and Reed, defense can’t collapse down on them now
Agree, Hope. No improvements, just status quo (at best). Lost two really good CB’s and so far haven’t re-signed a really good rotational pass-rusher.
Hernandez is a straight up brawler who’s gonna set the tone in the run game
Smearing folks into the turf and cleaning guys off the pile will become commonplace
Think about he and Scherff pulling around the edge
If he’s there, Dallas takes him at 19.
Agreed
And they’ll run for 300 on us
And we can talk about Ziggy and the Big Macs again….
Going into this draft without a full clip, needing very badly a OG and DT, is fucking stupid.
I want both Hankins, Hernendez and Vita. Greedy…
You and me both
Nothing wrong with that. Keep in mind that if you have Hankins, you can go after one of the mid-round gems.
at #44 you’re looking at Wynn from GA
or Price Ohio St
or Bozemann Alabama
which would be interesting because they both can play center also
if Giants stay at #2 I could see them taking Barkley and then Wynn
Eli sucks. Ginas have to get a QB
Giants could be going for the 1 more run theory and then blow things up
I think it’d be tough for them to pass on a QB at #2 when Eli looks to be near the end.

We are discussing our current NFC East projections as of right now on #GrantAndDanny:
Eagles 12-4
Giants 9-7

Allen coming off a lis Franc injury along side Lanier and Francis is all we have. No way you go back into TC with those guys alone assuming that’s all you need. To me Hankins is a must get and/or Vita. Build the lines please. Nab a guard in 2nd round.
Hood, McClain, McGee, Ioanndis
Meh Meh Meh potential
Allen + Ioannidis when healthy was wrecking interior of the OLs
Allen played five games
For the other ELEVEN what happened
Ioannidis was playing with a stump for awhile too. He’s not chopped liver is all I was saying.
Everyone got hurt. That’s what happened.
When Allen, Ioanndis and Foster all got hurt the run defense went to shit
^ Yup. That’s what happens when you lose not 1 not 2 but 3 starters from the interior.
Although I do like the Greek. He’ll get better
Like I said….
NFL.com mocks have Vea going to the Dolphins ahead of us now that they’ve cut Suh. Makes sense.

Do not look behind the black curtain. Nothing to see here
Unless the Giants take him at #2, Barkley could slide to 5-6 if there is a run on QBs at the top, which it looks like it’s shaping up for.

Man in Germantown, Maryland was detained this morning after fencing Contractor called 911. The contractor was confronted by the man, a customer, on his front lawn while packing up their truck ahead of the coming snow storm. Witnesses say that the man was flailing around his front yard wearing rubber boots, a trenchcoat, and a snorkeling mask, waving a blowtorch at falling snowflakes and screaming incoherently. No word as to charges and/or committal for psychiatric review, as of yet.

He only got a 1 year, $1.5M deal from the Colts.
I know. Cheap….
Mewhort’s not legit anyway. Plus, he’s had two knee injuries in the last two seasons.
Looks like a bunch of mocks have updated so I’ll publish an update summary tonight
Steve’s list of most hated current sports figures:
1) Lebron James
2) Nick Saban
3) everyone else
so all the Lakers are #3
got it
What happens when LeBron goes to the Lakers?
LOL, exactly right
he goes to #3 then
If that happens, I can’t lie, that’s going to be tough. I’m rooting for it not to happen. Plus, I don’t think Lonzo Ball’s effectiveness and development will be maximized by playing with a ball dominant guy like James.
Put it this way, I’d rather the Lakers not win another title than do it with him.
Why Alabama is one of if not the best program in college football…
Former Tennessee head coach Butch Jones officially has a new job, though it doesn’t come with the title some may have expected.
Saban announced on Tuesday that Jones was cleared by the NCAA to join his staff as an intern offensive analyst, making his hiring official after weeks of speculation.
and the best part, Tennessee is paying Jones millions of dollars to help out Alabama
Alabama was the first to start hiring vast new numbers of non-recruiting staff. That’s basically the innovation that everyone has been chasing, and it is odd that it is even considered an “innovation.” I guess everyone basically had built everything they could build.
there are limits on recruiting staff and on-field coaches but no limit on off-field coaches
so Saban has been hiring a bunch of offensive/defensive analysts who do film study and tendencies type stuff and meet with the position groups
divide and conquer the work so the position coaches can focus on teaching skills at the position and not be burdened by other work
exactly (there are no limits)
I did it first.
-Joe Gibbs
Is it okay if I hate Nick Saban with the power of a 1000 suns?

Wow. Sledge Hammer.
Great terrible show
surprised one of the networks like FXX hasn’t rebooted it
They kidnapped our son. We hadn’t even named him yet!
How about Rob?
If she thinks that, she’d be wrong, too.
So Deion Saunders is evidently losing it
he was called out by a fan after Deion tweeted about the Honey Badger being the best safety in the NFL
the fan asked how he could slight guys like Harrison Smith, Earl Thomas and Eric Barry
Deion told the fan to keep on being a fan and leave the football to pros like him
except the fan was AP first team All-Pro Titans safety Kevin Byard
Deion then got slammed by a bunch of Titans
Is Deion still available to play safety?
-Dan
Maurice Washington is going to Neb to play RB largely because of Deion. Having no bias whatsoever, I’m siding with Deion.
I’m siding with Deion’s CTE
because for a NFLN football analyst who is a former All-Pro DB to not recognize the name of a current All-Pro safety is not good
never heard of him either
so long as he keeps sending 4+ star guys to Neb, his opinions are solid with me, again, having no bias whatsoever.
No chance he has cte. He never hit anyone
Fantastic
I want Hankins too. He’s a difference maker. I would just want to know what he’s asking for. No matter how much we want him, you can’t just “pay him what he wants” if it hurts your cap in the long run…again, don’t know what he’s asking for.
He is 25
You can build around him
They can afford to sign him for a decent contract. If it works out, great. If not, I actually think the front 7 will be alot better than last year regardless due to the return of Jonathan Allen and some health and stability at LB. The front 7 was terrible last year, but they were also down to their 123rd string ILBs and had injuries on the DL, too. I think it can be made to be more effective at this point with incremental improvements without breaking the bank for a guy who just got released by the Colts.
could be a number of reasons
-wants too much money
-maybe he came across as a dumbass when they talked to him
-maybe they have questions about his work ethic

You might as well just put those draft picks in a bonfire and light them.
Bpa. If you are drafting for need in the 5th round, you won’t have a job much longer
If you draft BPA without accounting for team needs to a certain extent, you won’t have a job much longer.
And for the 1000th time. QB is a team need for 2019 and beyond.
For the 1001st time, drafting a QB above rd 6 or 7 this year is a complete waste.
And for the 1002 time, you are 1003% wrong about that.
I just don’t think it makes much sense other than a raw development prospect in 7th/UDFA this year. Prob also next year.
Got to replace Colt for cheap. 6 and 7th round QB’s only last on a team 2 years at most before getting released, there are 2 exceptions in the last 10 years, TTaylor & Semian, after them only 1 guy still even in the NFL after 5 years.
I assume that First Pick’s grades come from an algorithm wherein it assigns its letter grade based on where you selected the player as compared to where they have him ranked.
also, if he generally fits what they have his position labelled as vs what they “say” is a PON left for that pick (they give 3 PON for each pick)

We’re probably not gonna sign Hankins. He knows he’s the best left and is gonna try and get the most Cash!!!!
Once Suh signs, he’ll go quick.
some think Hankins goes first
Very well could be. One of them will set the market.
BC, Dallas took Calvin Ridley
Weird, fuck you Dez, lol
That might actually happen. Heard a Dallas radio guy say they like him.
Relacks. We’re in the 2nd lap of a 10 lap race. There will be more cuts and players released. Always is.
Totally agree.
Not any as good as Hankins
Maybe not. D-Jax and Norman both came late in the game.
He isn’t the second coming of Darryl Grant. The world will not stop turning without him. I’d rather have him than not, but….
He immediately upgrades the DL and is the day 1 starting nt
There’s not a defensive coordinator in the NFL that’s scared of, or will double cover Ryan Grant.
True. But Paul Richardson? Maybe, if the Redskins can put him in spots where he can use his speed.
Can’t pass up gifts like Hankins
This, 100%
He’s like DJAX or Norman
Gifts from above
Amen!

You pay for difference makers.

Cool. Then I can look like I am at the NFL combine like all those other dudes sporting the youth-medium t’s.
lmao!
I agree 100%, and if they don’t sign him, you HAVE to draft Vea or Payne at 13.
Hankins is a proven commodity, draft picks aren’t regardless of their predraft status.
They don’t HAVE to do anything. Guard is a much bigger need, in my opinion. People forget that the DL last year looked alot better when Allen was in there and healthy. It needs help, but I actually don’t think it’s a catastrophe. Left guard and RB are catastrophes, to me.
all three are. I’m looking at our offense wasn’t the problem last year and our division has strong rushing attacks that necessitate us building a, wait for it…. Wall!
c-a-t-a-s-t-r-o-p-h-e, Ruby Tues, you are a catastrophe.
Allen played five games
Until he proves durability the DL is an unmitigated train wreck

Paul Richard is no better than R Grant.
They gave 20 million to a 44 catch WR while Grant (45 catches) is Indy for 5 million guaranteed.

Moe has gone quite mad over at the Insider. I think we need a re-con mission.
I think he’s closer to being right than not.
That sounds like the Moe I know….
He is not right at all.
PR is lightyears better than Grant? I don’t believe so but what the hell do I know. Lol
He’s light years faster and his hands are better just based on my own eyes. He was fighting for PT behind Baldwin and another key WR for the Seahags.
RW3 was reportedly pissed to lose Richardson because of how he was coming into his own within their schemes.
Go Hawks!
I think Grant’s hands are a bit overrated.
Thx for enlightening me. Hoping you’re right and we got a young, up and coming wr!
I think we got someone else’s up-and-comer for a change, yes.
His posts in response to responses to his own posts make up 90% of the entire comments section.
I think it’s more a case of Grant getting screwed
Right, leave out the Baltrashmore fiasco.
When we signed Richardson Grant was getting 4 years 29 mil
Yup.
So yer sayin’ we should’ve failed Richardson on his physical? – Bruce
I have concerns about Richardson, too, but Richardson’s speed alone makes him a more worthy signing than Grant, if you have to pick one or the other.
Grants route running is what I think teams covet. Hope he does well

Dallas traded up to 13…….who did they take?
idk, i skip to my picks every time, Payne must be in the top 10 now. he’s not available at 13 anymore
Skip one next time, see who the team picks. Just click continue, then skip.
Roger. I like my draft tho
they also have a summary link which shows all the picks made by every team
Aye
Hankins sits high in the rankins for giving o-linemen spankins so make a deposit to his bankins and we will all give thankins.
of the 70 mocks I’ve looked at Guice goes in first round less than 20% of the time
If they get Hankins that’s giving them options at 13 other than vita
RB however at 13 seems like a reach
Recall how teams ran on us the end of last season
We had bupkiss to stop it from happening
Agree, I think this team wants to go into every draft with at least someone plugged in at each starting spot, even if it’s not ideal. So that they can feel freed up to go more BPA than PON.
The two biggest needs on the team, to me, are guard and RB. I also think that the team is leaning RB in either rd 1 or 2, based on the comments of Jay and Doug.
Jay did say that the plan was to find an option at G in FA still, a vet who can hold it down at least.
If that’s Jay’s plan, he needs to act fast because almost all of the worthy guards are already gone. The ship is leaving the harbor on that one.
Detroit is a Hell Hole. WHY HAVEN’T WE SIGNED HANKINS YET?
Maybe he wants guaranteed years…..
He’s 25
Give him what he wants
That’s crazy greg. Love to have him, but not at any cost.
Yeah, you can’t just break the bank for the guy.
Will be regretting not signing him
#3 ranked dt for stopping the run in a division with strong running games

The PRICE is right!
Guice at 13?
Ewww
Massive need for the team, and he’ll fit nicely. If he becomes a stud, nobody will remember or care that people had him ranked at 20 or whatever on their precious draft board. Fanspeak had him at 18, I believe.

If Haynes horse-collars someone, would he give the guy a bacon neck?
This is no good. You have to make at least 12 trades to get a good mock
I don’t subscribe to Fanspeak’s premium service, so no trades.
Not a fan of the first pick
the nice thing about first pick is that it is much faster. And the trades pop up when you are on the clock, not at beginning of round, so you can decide if you want trade or pick. And it does give you feedback with the grade. Of course, that is their opinion
“Today marks an important day in my career with the launch of my new cannabis-based wellness brand, Real Wellness by Ricky Williams,” he said in a statement.
Williams is selling his cannabis salves, tonics and vape cartridges in California, where voters legalized recreational marijuana last year.

I’m totally surprised by this!

This is not newsworthy.
Being as how you brought it up though, wonder what percentage of profit will be attributed to the sale of vape cartridges vs. those of salves and tonics.

– Freddy Esquire
It’s looking like the QB are all gonna be gone by the time we pick so trading back could be tricky. If we could swing it, is like to see a trade where we could do in the first and grab one of the guards or Guice and recoup a 3rd time
If the top 5 QB’s all go that soon, it’s good for us, means we get a top 10 guy @ 13.
Yup, sit tight and take the elite talent. But answer the phone of course.
I can answer the phone?

‘Did I tell you you could again?!? Sheesh.’
– BA
Doug picks up every call saying “What the Fuck you want?!”
I think that’s all smokescreen shit. Watch Baker Mayfield drop to 13.
I don’t think Mayfield is worthy of the top pick, and I don’t think Josh Allen should even be a 1st rounder (even though he will be).
OH NO! I don’t want him. But if he does fall to 13 (or another coveted QB does) , Brucie will be wheeling and dealing.
How its set up right now.1-2-3-4 are looking QB-QB-QB-RB or RB-QB-QB-QB.
5-10 no QB’s needed. Really all comes down to Miami and the Giants at 12-13 if either of them grab Allen or Jackson
Whoever drafts Josh Allen in the 1st round is going to regret it.
Fingers crossed it is NY.
he has a cannon for an arm. He can throw it through the side of a barn, if he can hit it
He’s more likely to launch it over the barn and into the cow pasture.
Hankins and Alan Branch to visit Lions.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/21/johnathan-hankins-alan-branch-expected-to-visit-lions/
Yates adds that former Titans defensive tackle Sylvester Williams is also on Detroit’s radar and it seems likely that we’ll be hearing about an addition to the Lions defense sooner or later.
If they let Hankins get away that’s a huge mistake
Yeah they will probably draft a Guard in the 4th.
they really like Austin Corbett
I think he goes early 3rd though
Did too well at the combine
My understanding is that the Redskins don’t think there are any FA OL left that are better than the people they already have
I’m in agreement with that.
I would expect us to draft some OL and sign a few UDFA OL prospects
Scary… maybe they think Kalis will pick it up this year
There were plenty several days ago, and I disagree that the Redskins have anyone as good as Jack Mewhort.
doesn’t he have health issues?

except maybe the 4th round QB who’s going to get pine splinters on his buttocks for 3 years
Yeah he needs to learn.
Yeah, that was a wasted pick, IMO.
I keep seeing Twitter posts about how Washington is lowballing Gallete and that our offers are “laughable.” I keep asking how it compares to other offers he’s receiving… no one seems to be able to answer that.

I have asked that to multiple talking heads over the last few days…

DL 29
DB 25
WR 8
LB 7
OL 1
so it is almost 50-50 between DL and DB
I’m in the guard/RB or bust crowd.
well then your position really sucks
no RBs picked and only 1 G
I agree, noon. QNelson & Saquon are only G or RB worth taking at 13
I’d take Barkley or Nelson at 13, but probably neither gonna be there.
Those two position groups have way bigger needs than DL.
What would people think of Davenport at 13? Haven’t really pined for him that much, and would he be a DE or OLB conversion here?
in our defense I think he would end up as an OLB
Ravens bringing in Willie Snead for a visit. He’s got potential.
I want us to take a look at the kid that the jaguars just cut

Name of bomber released (he was 23, not 24): Mark Anthony Conditt

Some nuggets from my mock …
• Giants like Barkley and Nelson
• Teams have effort questions with Derwin James
• Daniels passing Price at C/G due to injury
• Gettleman’s never traded down as a GM, but here …
… Plus, 4 QBs top the board. Dive in!

How did the Giants end up with two high picks
He had Giants trading out of 2 and they got an extra 1st rounder.
13. Washington: Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State
Ward’s size knocks him down the board a little bit, with the league-wide trend being towards bigger corners. He’s too good to resist as a replacement for Kendall Fuller here.
no friggin way! A lineman only, idc if it’s offense or defense(prefer defense slightly) but no db at #13.

Just back from walking for coffee. Laughed my ass off as some douche in a black Land Rover, probably enjoying his one day where is SUV is actually useful, was whipping down Wisconsin as if everyone was in his way and going too slow…got squirrely and his back end kicked right into the back of some lady’s Beamer. Happened about 50 feet from me and I honestly sensed it was comping the way this dude was trying to zip through the slower traffic.
Awesomeness.
Poor people’s insurance rates just jumped .03%
unless the snow is really deep, some of the best vehicles in snow and ice are medium sized cars with poor weight balance… all the weight over the drive wheels. miss my old ’07 Accord, put some awesome Continentals on that and it was great in the snow. Both Mazda’s I’ve owned were fair to god-awful. Low profile tires great in the summer, not so much in snow.
Thank you Cliff Clavin.
We call those “bologna skins”
Front wheel drive with skinny tires that cut through the snow.
Deputy Blaine Gaskill, putting in work.
For Google’s web feed of the WaPo article on this to read “School resource officer Blaine Gaskill helped stop gunman at…..” is pretty fucking lame. By all accounts I’ve read, he stopped the shooter by engaging him in under one minute. Show some respect for law enforcement doing their job.
SWAT trained
Wondering where the “help” was.
Seconded
Hero.
From the actual WaPo article: “Deputy Blaine Gaskill rushed toward the sound of gunshots in a Maryland high school Tuesday, putting himself not only in the line of fire but also at the center of the white-hot national debate on school safety.”
Yeah, exactly, so why the bullshit headline? Fucking own it.
I know why, you know why. Pathetic

Not coming back, we intercepted his party in route, all K.I.A.
I live on a snow route. Because we have a major metro bus route and a school… the plows go by about every 3 minutes. I cracked my window. It’s snowing and instead of clean fresh air, all I can smell is diesel fuel.
Maybe back it off to plowing only every 15 minutes, guys.

Apparently. #13 in PFF and reaching must be better than #10 and in house. Galettes snaps came last 4 games…McPhee in and out rotation all year when not dinged yet 25ish less snaps than Galette…something dont add up there…
In his seven seasons he’s only played in all 16 games three times.

Austin for Fox….Putin congrats and Stormy pics for CNN.
Fox lead the way in the Boston bomber coverage, easily 20-30 minutes ahead of the the “competition”. It wasn’t even fair, Fox and coverage sharing a smoke after, while CNN and abc fumbled awkwardly with coverage’s bra strap.
Personally, I would like the coverage to be: Bomber dead. Adios scumbag. More later.
I don’t want this dickhead to get any coverage to memorialize him.
Well they say bombs still could be anywhere…so keep open mind while you digging on Stormy

This will be a perfect tracking snow. I’ll be at the nearby NWR first thing tomorrow morning, great way to get a feel for the mammal population. Coyote have been in a bit of down cycle for 4 years with fox, raccoon, opossum back up accordingly. By scat, those trends appear to be reversing. The snow will tell the story.
Ironically there’s a direct correlation between predators like coyotes and foxes and the tick population
Which you would never think of
Indeed.

Not sure but I am not driving anywhere this morning. But, I am about to walk for my morning coffee.

So you have dry snow? Ours is heavy wet snow.
Cold morning here, 51 degrees. Don’t want the snow like y’all up north. Brrrrr

Hankins didn’t sign until mid-April last year. He’s in no hurry.

Then when he signs, “I love that guy!”

MRGA!
Is Austinskins even awake yet?
You’re making an assumption that he wasn’t the bomber.
Hmmmmm
Whoa. He always was showing up, after each incident.
He used Tower Girl to throw us off!
Yep

‘Prant’, lol. Good one!
Been up watching this since 4:30… glad the bomber has been stopped. Brave cops to approach the car knowing he likely had a device in it and likely he would detonate it.
Happy Wednesday!
Back at ya, 65!
Congrats and thanks to all the various Law Enforcement working tirelessly in and around Austin: the bomber is dead.
Wow, that’s pretty quick work. Apparently he was trying to set up another one, when police closed in on him, and he set it off.
as Hollywood has taught us, it is a bit too neat and clean
You imagine a scenario where they subdued him, put him his vehicle, set the timer and got to a safe distance?
my first thought was, if the dude was really clever, blowing up a suspect would allow him to disappear
and then when he shows up again, they will start investigating anew, thinking a copycat is out there
Ahh
But no
They’ll reconstruct and match him to the video from Fed Ex
another set up. the genius is he sets up false leads
I mean, it’s a special NCIS made for TV movie on a Friday night. I’ve seen it a Hundred Times!
I’m all about disturbed now. My other, she’s gone and, independently, had that same thought.
Just 24 years old.
Learned bombs on the google. Apparently.
Got little lucky. Apparently, a bomb on a conveyor went off at a FedEx facility ~1 hour from Austin. Officials found a 2nd package there, and that’s what led them to the suspect.
The break was that he went and used Fed Ex. Had those packages been delivered, authorities still would have been able to trace them back to the moment they were handed over to Fed Ex.
Yup.

I am the primary engineer for a system that a lot of people at my company use. When something breaks, I fix it 99% of the time. When I can’t fix it, I call my guy at the vendor and he fixes it. If he has a problem, he calls his guy. Well, that guy’s guy just called a guy.
It’s gonna be a long night.
had that happen to me many years ago with an IT system
we couldn’t fix
software vendor couldn’t fix
local hardware vendor couldn’t
they had to fly guy in from Germany with parts
I’m pretty sure they’re calling Micheal Dell next.
Dell makes computers the same way you or I make computers, only instead of a complicated supply chain, we’d go to a place that sold components and put a system together, they prob do it in a few minutes… takes a few hours plus OS install to do it as a one-off. and most of the stuff from server racks to personal comps are mostly just disposable now. if we have a prob with our contractor’s server, they basically have 24 hour agreements to get new stuff and back up and running. even with really old legacy stuff, it has got to be cheaper to buy new equipment and run an emulator software layer.

Another explosion occurred in Austin on Tuesday evening, hours after one package exploded and another containing an explosive device was intercepted by law enforcement at FedEx facilities near that city and near San Antonio, authorities said.
The Austin Fire Department said on Twitter shortly after 7 p.m. local time (8 p.m. ET) that it was on the scene at a “reported package explosion” and that there was “one reported injury and crews evacuating building.”
Austin emergency management said medics transported a man in his 30s, and the injuries are not expected to be life-threatening. NBC affiliate KXAN reported that the explosion occurred at a Goodwill.

That escalated quickly
We used to call them squiggly channels
I remember my uncle used to get the TV book out of the newspaper on Sundays and circle all the shows he was gonna watch.
There was a time when JET magazine was the pulse of the black community. They had the top 20 R & B and Soul Hits LOL
Always thought is was the “Black Penthouse Forum” when I was a kid.
Just came to me…the Redskins have had some of the best Left Tackles in the NFL over the years. That’s one position that’s been locked down over the years.
That’s why an o-lineman, as un-sexy as it seems, is the best 1st round pick at the end of the day outside of a franchise QB.
Had a rough patch for a few years between Lachey and Samuels, but it’s been a good run since ’81

Indy proved it. NFL should make Ravens pay the difference in contract. Lol
Passed physical for Indy and Oakland.
Ik, still have to prove whoever Baltimore drags out is full of shit.
More unethical than anything else. Should be some sort of NFL ‘look’
I would love to see Grant become a clutch guy in Indy while Crabtree plays like… Well, like a Ravens WR.

April 13?
We’ll be done and moved on by then. I know we had a late signing last year, thinking it was Zach Brown. But it wasn’t all that far into April.

The Redskins will need to draft for special teams players….Moreau and Dunbar were gunners…can’t do that again this year if they’re your starters.
There’s a few
Everett is normally the gunner, will go back to it next year
This
Also, both Everett and QD were both + gunners imo, where we were bad from what i could see was the TEs and LBs who usually man teams.
What we need is a 220-230 lb speed guy running down the center lane to the ball
You’re welcome

Why not? Successful teams put many starters on teams

I think you draft a WR late or get an UDFA and try him at PR. I don’t want any starters returning punts.
Our special teams haven’t been special in a long time. Very poor.
Kotwica must have gotten a copy of whatever it is Ryan Grant has on Gruden.
Sure they have. Just ‘Velcro shoes’ special
No problem w Richardson or Moreau returning myself. Need for speed there. Its time
Damn this storm is going to be bigger then they thought I hate fucking snow.

Well Crowder started off by fumbling, and he was pretty much ineffective all year in my opinion. We could use improvement there. Definitely.
Richardson and Moreau will field punts
Okay…I’m gonna move on…this is futile.
Talking politics on a message board is never worthwhile.
….but I get it…when “your guy” is in office, any resistance (which is part of a democracy) is perceived as a “witch hunt”. It’s been that way since 1776…”If they’d just leave my guy alone and let him run the country…”
Nah, this truly is a witch hunt. There’s no evidence that anything actionable actually happened, but President Trump’s enemies, egged on by a signficant portion of the media, who hate him, aren’t going to stop for the duration of his presidency. No other president in my lifetime has experienced what Trump has experienced thusfar, IMO. And I’m honestly not particularly fond of the guy.
I mean…the previous President wasn’t even considered a US citizen by many and was heckled from the floor at his own address.
You DO know that story came from the Hillary Clinton campaign right?
Of course it didn’t. smdh
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-started-birther-movement/
and was heckled from the floor at his own address.
____________
That happened to Trump, too. And I’ve always maintained that asking questions about Obama’s birth were legitimate questions in the beginning. He answered them and a few crazies wouldn’t let it go, wrongfully so.
Chief among those crazies being Donald J. Trump.
You can tell it’s a partisan position when someone claims there is no evidence. First, there is a ton of evidence, and second, no one outside of the Mueller investigation has a clue what the sum of the evidence is.
Not much different talking football players…everybody gotta push and pull dead weight
If you think that is what’s going on here you have your head buried in the sand. Stop with your simpleton commentary. You’re supposed to be an educated man. You don’t present yourself as such.
You’re biased cause it’s your boss…so you can’t really contribute to the discussion from multiple perspectives.
Oh… that’s right… silence the people who don’t buy what you’re sellin… typical.
Did the consensus sign DLine help today?
Who did Gruden say he liked at RB and was drafting ? Barkley or Guice??
Anything else pertinent from Gruden ?
Said he hates Bruce Allen, fucking despises him.
Chase Edmunds, no DLine to speak of.
Who ? Only Edmunds I know of that busts heads is in the draft…
These dudes getting all bent on politics. Really ???
And jump me on dissing a Cowboy. Cant make this sh up. !!!
Nope
Jeez, I wonder what everyone’s saying about Trump firing Mueller. I’d like a five dollar bill for every time I’ve heard that in the last 30 minutes.
Yeah… well in my mind the President is 100 percent right. There never should have been an appointment of special counsel and there was no probable cause that crimes were committed. So far I’ve seen no credible evidence that crimes were committed by the President and Mueller is now investigating anything he can find to try and take Trump down. His special counsel only came to be because of a dossier that was paid for by the Democrats and is a total sham. This is ridiculous political theater of the extreme and guess who’s paying for it?
Way to stick up for your boss.
My boss is stuck under relentless attacks from the liberal media and the Democrats who are all in on the “resist” movement. Still butt hurt from losing the election. They are hell bent on destroying him. This is sickening to me.
…and your previous boss went through worse…so why are you crying now?
You are delusional if you believe what you just wrote… I mean seriously lying to yourself.
Over eight years of nonstop attacks by right wing media and conservatives believing every stupid story right wing media fed them.
Trumps got a ways to go yet before he’s anywhere near what Obama endured.
That’s outrageously false, IMO, respectfully. Obama was fawned over by the media for 8 years. He didn’t get a fraction of the vitriol that Trump has gotten. It really isn’t even comparable.
False?
False?
We have, on record…the day Trump got right wing media to allow birtherism to spread throughout the nation. You remember that right Steve? I mean…you actually were believing Obama was Kenyan Manchurian.
…you actually were believing Obama was Kenyan Manchurian.

Really, REALLY dumb.
Right wing media vs. Special Counsel…
Yep… right wing media has pull
Wow. When you go stupid…you don’t mess around.
Tip of the hat.
The entire thing is nothing but a ridiculous political witch hunt.
How’s that?
On this entire planet, there are two parties that claim Trump and Russia have no relationship.
Trump and, Russia.
Wow… another simpleton statement… and ridiculous in the extreme. It was the Dem’s colluding with Russia to dig up dirt on Trump that came to light not Trump collusion with anyone. You might want to get your facts straight and also join reality.
My facts?
Jesus H….
Republicans hired Christopher Steele to do opposition research on Trump for the GOP primaries well ahead of Fusion GPS taking the compiled info selling it to the next bidder. Get YOUR facts straight.
…and every other reasonable American that isn’t a bat shit crazy lefty.
Which leaves us with only the right wing nut jobs to believe.
And since there’s no taking any right wing nut job seriously on any serious topic…
Republicans are going on record saying it’s impeachable “without cause” so, need to have solid cause and you’re all set.
It’s pretty incredible that you actually believe that.
Believe what?
I believe it is unlawful to initiate an investigation without probable cause.
So Mueller’s in the same boat, equalizing. What’s wrong with your buddy Mr. Steve?

This is also true
Hate Trump, of course, but I disagree with the generalization. Kennedy and the Roosevelts were good/great presidents who came from huge money.

True that
They could then cut Terrell McClain, thanks to a recent move that makes it affordable. His base salary of $3.25 million was set to become guaranteed on the fifth day of the league year. It had only been guaranteed for injury only. But the language of the contract was changed to keep it as guaranteed for injury only.
That means Washington could release McClain and, thanks to the prorated signing bonus, be on the hook for “only” $3.75 million in dead cap space. Releasing him after June 1 would spread that out over two years. Otherwise, if he’s kept, he’ll have a cap hit of $4.67 million this season and $5.75 million next season. His play needs to improve in order to justify those numbers.
I re-tweeted this quote from Keim earlier. This is super interesting.
And not just some improvement. A whole other level of play has to happen.
But he had his chances last season. Release him
Our FO has got to get over this practice of signing guys coming off of career years. It’s called reversion to the mean.
Or at least look at their pre-contract year production
If Trent Williams’ career ended today…is he a HOF’er?
He’s on the borderline. 6x Pro Bowler, 2x All-Pro, but he Joe Thomas has been the best LT in the game all these years. I’d say that he needs a few more years of accomplishments first.
No rings. No records. No HOF.
The first time I got a deep tissue massage, I thought it was going to be relaxing. About 3 minutes in, I managed to speak out through gritted teeth “I don’t think your doing this right”

Organs are deep tissues.
I thought she was dropping the people’s elbow between my shoulder blades
I’d gotten one deep tissue massage in my life. Never again.
You feel great like 3 days later, after the soreness subsides but the massage is torture
No pain, no gain. I get two deep tissue massages a day! You guys are wimps!
Better off letting a pony prance on your back than enduring deep tissue.
I don’t get myself. You got these people that have it done on the regular who are like ‘Yea but after a couple days of pain you feel great!’
And all I can think is, yea sure, after a couple days of being in pain, I suppose it would be great to not be.
NFL.com scouting report on Saquon says his pro comparison is Barry Sanders.
Nice to see realistic expectations for him.
I still can’t get over the fact that over three years, Lamar Jackson had more rushing yards, a better yards/rush average, and more rushing TDs than Saquon.
If the Vikings draft Christian Kirk as a WR, they’ll have Kirk the Christian throwing to Christian Kirk…
Ohh and it’s intercepted by Mohamed Wilkerson.

Pukes starting guard Jonathan Cooper signed with the 49ers
We need to take will Hernandez or have to play against him for the next ten years
Not That fat boy from UGA?
Cooper was widely considered one of the top guard prospects in the 2013 NFL draft, along with Chance Warmack.[6][7] After the NFL Combine, Sports Illustrated projected him as the No. 10 overall selection.[8] North Carolina had not seen one of their offensive lineman taken in the first round since tackle Harris Barton was selected in the first round with the 22nd overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 1987. Cooper was selected seventh overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2013 NFL draft. He was the highest selected offensive guard since Jim Dombrowski in 1986 NFL draft.
He’s going to his fourth team since being drafted
He sucks
I know. And I don’t want to draft an OG at 13 unless his name is Quenton.
That’s your deal
Hernandez at 13 makes this ol a top five and gives us two of the best guards in the league
That would be a huge reach.
Agree to disagree
So NFL.com has put their first Power Rankings of the year out. Cowboys are at 20, we’re at 21. Gnats are at 29. Eagles are first.

Great beard beads, Austin
you need to make sure the bent leg doesn’t roll forward on you, that doesn’t make sense at first, but inevitably it will be an issue on the off leg
I can not do this stretch as my ponsa would not allow
Back spasms suck. Tried to get back into golf after a long hiatus (about 10 years). Back muscles not used to it. Can’t wait for a deep tissue massage on Friday.
rub some tussin on it and quit whining .
Ha!
Hot tub and a couple flexeril’s fix you up
Just rubbed some tussin on it. Pure magic! You’re the best, Buck!
Thanks
And then they find you…drowned
All you need to do is, in this order….do some bong rips, some light stretching, followed by more bong rips. Then take it easy for a few days.
Are you holding?
Austin, try to use your hips more to lengthen your swing versus twisting your back. Long swing, long career. The more you torque your lower back to create speed, the more issues you’ll have with your back.
If you’re hurting now, deep tissue massage will leave you wrecked.
I feel your pain. I just recently got back in the weight room after a torn rotator cuff. Still fighting soreness and lazyness
That’s not lazy. You’re putting your energy into being proactive in avoiding limited range of motion and mobility.

biggest fix I’ve found for most muscle / joint problems is working the corresponding opposite muscle.
knee problems? prob have one of your major leg muscles out of proportion to the others, for me that was my glutes were too tight, so I have to basically do a pigeon pose like thing.
as for my back, so now whenever I deadlift or squat I do a corresponding weight exercise for my abs. sometimes I go to the bench and do dumb bell chest with 1/2 to full crunches on the lift; and for my upper back, I’ll do a couple of reps for the shoulders
it makes a huge difference.

Five cups brewed drains the battery though. That’s just…nuh uh.
A retired United States Army lieutenant colonel and Fox News contributor quit Tuesday and denounced the network and President Donald Trump in an email to colleagues.
“Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration,” wrote Peters, a Fox News “strategic analyst.”
“Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed,” he wrote.
“When prime-time hosts–who have never served our country in any capacity–dismiss facts and empirical reality to launch profoundly dishonest assaults on the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the intelligence community (in which I served) and, not least, a model public servant and genuine war hero such as Robert Mueller–all the while scaremongering with lurid warnings of “deep-state” machinations– I cannot be part of the same organization, even at a remove. To me, Fox News is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.”
Yawn
“And by the way: As an intelligence professional, I can tell you that the Steele dossier rings true–that’s how the Russians do things.. The result is that we have an American president who is terrified of his counterpart in Moscow.”
THAT guy has issues. Whiniest little bitch I’ve ever seen. He probably is mad because his air time was ever more limited. He was a huge Trump detractor from the start and for a “conservative” seemed pretty liberal. He often fought with guests on his world view, trying prove himself the smartest man in the room.
He was also a huge critic of Obama’s foreign policy.
Like I said, he always wanted to be the smartest guy on the set. He argued things that he was clearly wrong about.
Clearly….
He always struck me as a loon when watching him on FOX . Shrill and whiney.

Sooo..Stormy Daniels took a polygraph test. And apparently, was found to be being truthful regarding certain, unsavory details regarding carnal knowledge of President Trump. Now me, I’m not neither here nor there on any that. What a man does when he’s cheating on his wife and newborn are none of my business. However, I do wonder…
Is this the largest rack ever to get a lie detector test?

Ahhh the salacious attack from the hateful, butt hurt left. Unending. Go cry in a corner.
Butt hurt? Over a big ass rack?
What the hell are you on about?
Your lead-in commentary on Trump… the point was clear. You know what you were highlighting. Just Trump bashing in the end no matter how you try and dress it up.
You’ve got a conditioned brain. The lead in, was to put the picture into context. I mean sure, I could have just thrown up a picture of a rack in a strap and left it that. But then, there’d be questions. So…I just took care of that from the get. And like I said…dude cheats on his wife, none of my business.
Do you see how that works?
But hey, thanks for having to make it about Trump (ew) instead of those tig ol bitties.
Just stop… the more you try and explain it the worse it gets… window dressing to get your dig in on Trump. We all get it. Move on.
There it is again. The refusal to acknowledge you wildly misinterpreted the message.
Tits man. Think tits.
Yeah we’d never get into anything like that.

If you think powerful, rich men screwing women they’re not married to is some sort of huge issue you’re living in la la land.
Wow, that’s news to me!
-Bill Clinton
Now you’re gettin it.
I don’t particularly care about whether the president cheated on his wife a decade before he became president. He’s a billionaire on his third wife; I’m sure he probably did, if not with this porn star then with someone else.
It becomes a matter of public interest if either he lied about it under oath, which he hasn’t, or if it makes him susceptible to blackmail.
The way to handle it, if I were advising Trump, would have been this: if he did it, then I’d have him come out and say, yes, I boinked the porn star years ago. I made a mistake, I hurt my wife, I’m sorry, it has nothing to do with my presidency, the end. Problem solved. If he really didn’t do it, he needs to sue her, immediately.
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman… not one time.”
The difference with Clinton, of course, and why he was impeached, was that he lied under oath.
The difference is that Republicans put Clinton in the position of having to testify about it.
No, he put himself in the position of having to testify by sexually harassing his intern.

But only semi auto bats with large capacity barrels and bump handles.

I’m rooting for PI to change, too. I think the current penalty is much too punitive.
I think there needs to be two types of PI
Flagrant: Intentionally interfering with a receiver, like mugging or grabbing the jersey of a receiver that’s going to burn you for a TD. Spot of foul penalty.
Incidental contact: Sure there was contact, but no obvious intent to interfere: 15 yards.
And another flag for when the receiver knows they can’t catch the ball but makes a move that forces the defender to run into them in the hope of drawing a flag.
I agree with this. This scheme was what I’ve been thinking about as well.
I think that’s too subjective. These guys can easily force “incidental” contact down field if they want. Either leave it alone or make it all 15 yard penalties…

It’s possible the meeting didn’t go so well. Maybe hankins doesn’t want to play in a 3-4 for instance, or his contract demands are ridiculous.

Braavos is ruled by Jews, I mean, who doesn’t know that?
Hankins???
Ok
He’s becoming a mythical creature like Galette used to be
He’s a great run stuffer
He’s a difference maker and we don’t have any one like him on the DL
I agree, would love to see us sign him. Not really expecting it at this point though. We’ll probably scrape through the bargain bin and pull out Sylvester Williams
he’s young and from the giants, so i enjoy how us signing him would improve us and hurt the giants. why are the giants are not re-signing him?

mostly, it’s about males spreading their genes as much as possible, and we formed societies to both advance and curb that end in a way that doesn’t wipe out us all. men could have multiple wives because it furthers that purpose and accelerates it, while the reverse slows down the process. if you were Captain Biology you’d want only the strongest males to breed with as many women as possible, and the women (for Biologists) sake would largely get weeded out by failing the birthing process.
so, violence and forced polygamy with the end of the alpha male is just… good… science.
…as “unfair” as that may seem to women and male weaklings
Yeah the girl and boy who were shot are both stable an will recover and the shooter is dead so probably the best outcome in a fucked up situation.

He passed an exit physical with us and ones with Colts & Raiders
Ravens are just punks
Now that Grant has damages, he’d have to file a grievance through the NFLPA. It’s an easy one to resolve. He had a real ankle injury at the end of the year, so the NFL gets the Ravens to produce their medical records and see what they say. My guess is that the Ravens just say, we saw ______ and in our dr’s judgment it was a real thing that concerned us to the point that we didn’t want to risk the $29M contract. Case closed, you lose, Ryan, thanks for playing.
I’ve always heard that teams can get their drs to pass or fail someone, either way, if they really want to do so.
Agree. Sort of like the walk through after signing a contract to purchase a home. Or a boat survey.
Ryan Grant

Not bad for Ryan.
Speaking of colleges, I heard Clay Travis this morning talking about how dumb it was for Holy Cross to give up it’s knight mascot because they were afraid that the knight may make some people think about the Crusades, which might offend people.
That’s the height of ridiculous political correctness. Clay was 100% right.
Saw an article on that yesterday… pretty damn sad
Googled it because I’d not heard that one.
He’s not even a Crusades era knight! I’d at least understand an argument if it looked like a templar, them saying they want to update the logo. But the dude’s purple and silver.
I don’t care if he is a Crusades-era knight. We’re talking about about, what, the 1400s? If you’re offended by anything that happened in the 1400s you need to reevaluate your life.
It’s like the kids out here in San Diego that were upset at the Aztec name… there aren’t even any Aztecs left… get the fuck over it.
Well you’re off by 200 years but sure.
Lot of people base their whole lives off of stuff that was written 2,000 – 6,000 years ago.
I’m saying it’s an argument, not a good one.
At least if it looked like a knight from the crusades, then there is some logic to a complaint.

Maroon and Gray? What the heck?
Jim Zorn
no problem this group cannot solve
unless it involves politics, religion, guns, …
@alex35332:disqus I just looked at a site that have hundreds of college logos and I could not identify that one bird from the 19th
looks like some sort of Eagle maybe
Eagle, or seagull
There’s 58 colleges that use “Eagles” as their mascot. So this will take a few minutes.
March 19
» Bowling Green
» Bucknell
» Delaware
» Fresno State
» North Carolina Central
» N.C. State
» Pennsylvania
» Syracuse
» Temple
» Tennessee
» Toledo
I think it could be Temple Owls
We don’t use a bird as the logo anymore, it’s a big block T looks like this “][“
Also, no wonder this scout never shows up to the Temple practices They put the white T logo into their chart, but you can’t see it because of the background.
NCC was the only other one it could have been
It should be an owl and not an eagle anyway.
Obviously. But they went away from their stupid owl logo back when I was still going to school there. Hooter was the mascot name, and there was a side kick mascot named Little Hooter.
It seems the PR department didn’t really think about that one.
Some guys like Little Hooter
But back when your 18, most guys won’t admit that.
Not Temple I check that one out
I just looked at over 500 logos and none matched
Ah, it’s North Carolina Central
http://grfx.cstv.com/schools/nccu/graphics/auto/logo_secondary.jpg
Yes, it’s just the head, I passed it because the official logo is whole bird
Falcon
Air Force Falcons; that isn’t the logo.
and wrong color
They use a lightning bolt right?
That’s what’s on the helmets. The official logo is the AF graphic.
Drop back to the late teens
Will Hernandez at 19
Justin Jones in the second
CB in the third
what third?
-1st round: Defense, probably DL
-2nd round: RB
-4th – 6th: Guard
Mentioned they went to add depth at CB, WR, and OL from college free agent pool
___________
I just don’t see the team waiting until the 4th – 6th rounds to draft a guard unless they sign someone in free agency. That position is currently vacant, unless someone is confident in Kyle Kalis or Aire Kouandijo. I’m not.
Thanks to noone for posting the comp pick rules below. I didn’t realize that released players didn’t count in the formula for the “count against” part.
We’re still on track to get the full 4 comp picks though, regardless. I had forgotten about losing Niles Paul.

I think it’s Temple
Also, I think America is ready for a Coach reboot.
Dwayne Johson, Charles Barkley… and who plays Dauber?
I think what you do is go TNG style. So it’s about Dauber (the actor who plays him is 60) in the end of his coaching career, as he grooms Coach Hayden’s son to take on the job of becoming a head coach himself.

Interesting nuggets from Jay Gruden interview on @1067theFan this morning:
-Mentioned Niles Paul, Ryan Grant and Trent Murphy specifically as tough players to lose.
No mention of Kirk, Breeland, Long, etc.
-Weirdly no mention of Josh Norman when discussing CB group
Pretty much outlined where they’re looking in the draft:
-1st round: Defense, probably DL
-2nd round: RB
-4th – 6th: Guard
Mentioned they went to add depth at CB, WR, and OL from college free agent pool
he did mention Breeland.
Said he could go Guard high as round 2.
prob could go G anywhere from 1st to 7th round.

I’d be fine.
Sure ya will. For how many minutes can you swing that Claymore?
Claymore? 1st, I have a 1 handed sword.
Ok, so this vis affective vs. a limited number of zombies, for a short period. Your gun will extend the range at which you can engage the zombies, thus expanding your capabilities.
If you just have a gun, and lets say 12 bullets.. Zombie 13 eats you.
If I only had 12 bullets, my death, or conversion, is on your and Austin’s hands, as you banned my right to a larger capacity clip.
again, that’s more Austin’s thing. I think you should have all the guns you want, but we should also have a universal health care system giving everyone a routine mental health check to try and ensure you don’t murder anyone.
I’m cool with that.

AFAIK, signing a player counts against comp picks if the player’s contract with his previous team has expired. But if a team releases a player who still has a contract, e.g., Hankins, signing that player does not affect comp picks.
This is inadmissible, you are late, there’s been a verdict, go file an appeal, good day.
Tower Girl was snoozing in her Tower Box, then got restless and took off. I expect she’ll return shortly with lunch.
Ban falcons
falcons are cool , but them talons gotta go .
So we effectively give them a species sweeping death sentence because talons make us uncomfortable?
we replace them with soft paws
I believe they actually use a little hook in their beak to sever the spine of their prey, so they just need to be able to pick up the prey, slash it
BS, sometimes they gotta hold on for 8 seconds
That’s the rodeo . You’re confused .
Sure, or you’ve never seen a hawk or falcon make a play for a cat
Not a cat , no.
They fight back, it ain’t free.
Outdoor cats are just coyote snacks in Austin.
Yup, lil dogs too.
Falcons do have a ‘tomial tooth’ on their upper mandible that aid in breaking necks.

She’s a better shot then some I’ve seen.
Or what’s left of lunch.
There are only 32 compensatory picks handed out each year. All 32 NFL teams are allowed up to a maximum of four compensatory picks, and they’re only awarded to clubs that signed fewer players than they lost via free agency. That does not include players cut, players released after signing the year before or players making the league minimum. The highest level compensatory pick awarded is a 3rd rounder.
In order to qualify for the comp equation, a player must have been a true Unrestricted Free Agent whose contract had expired or was voided after the previous season (i.e., he cannot have been released by his old team); he must sign during the UFA signing period (which ended July 27 last year); if he signs after June 1[*], he must have been tendered a June 1 qualifying offer by his old team; his compensatory value or contract value must be above a specific minimum amount; and he cannot have been permanently released by his new team before a certain point in the season (which seems to be after Week 10) or, possibly, before getting a certain amount of playing time, unless he was claimed off waivers by another team.
Each qualifying player has a value based on his contract, playing time and postseason honors, and that value corresponds to a round in the draft. In the compensatory equation, each qualifying player that a team signs cancels out a qualifying player that the team lost whose value is the highest in the same round. If there are no lost players remaining in that round, the signed player cancels out the lost player whose value is the next-highest. A signed player will cancel out a lost player whose value falls in a higher round only if there are no remaining lost players. After all of a team’s qualifying signed players have canceled out a lost player, the team can receive a comp pick for each qualifying player who remains. For example, consider a team that loses one qualifying player whose value falls in the third round and another qualifying player whose value falls in the sixth round but signs a qualifying player whose value falls in the third round. That team would receive a sixth-round comp pick because the signed player would cancel out the loss of the higher-valued player. If the signed player’s value were equal to a fourth-round pick or lower, however, the team would receive a third-round comp pick, because the signed player would cancel out the loss of the lower-valued player.
All clear now?
Sand 1 – Steve 0.
‘Rule of 32’ notwithstanding.
yeah I said as much below. Both incoming and outgoing player had to have been a UFA
Comp picks blah blah something yada yada yada value…….yep!
So…how many comps are we getting then?
Zero, f-mara is in charge of that.
Well the formula has a limit of 32, so the algorithm isn’t exact every year (that is the value fluctuates per year for each weighting) and each weighting per unit comp pick is relative to other team’s losses, and it really requires at least a MS in Math… and therefore…
Zero.
-Mara
After further calculations and consideration… the Competition Committee has ruled that The Redskins will have to give up their 2019 4th round pick to add to the compensatory pool.

Keep in mind I’ve got no real problems with any of them, I’m a student of US history, politics and political history, all that fun stuff, but I like to try and keep things in historical context. By in large the further back you go, the easier it is to put people’s actions into some kind of context of the times.

I don’t believe Scandrick will be a comp pick hit, didn’t the cowgirls release him?
That doesn’t matter. He’s a free agency signing.
You sure? I thought they had to be at the end of their contract. Same reason Hankins wouldn’t count?
I think that it counts against us, but it isn’t a comp pick for dallas. I’ll do some research over lunch time.
he has to be an UFA or voided contract. Cannot be a released player. So technically Scandrick will not count. Same for Hankins if signed
I believe that to be incorrect. I’ll check. Dallas doesn’t get a comp pick for Scandrick because they released him, but the fact that we signed free agent Scandrick and maybe free agent Hankins is going to count against us. That’s what I think is the case.
check overthecap.com. Explains the entire formula
I’m with Steve on this one. The Girls won’t get a comp pick because they released him. He will count against our comp picks because he was a UFA when we signed him.

Yeah that was written how many 100’s of years ago, you really think they would put that in the constitution today if written over again. That was written for a much different time.
Define “many hundreds”
600 years ago, at least. Wait, that’s older than the earth.
Wow, double fail.
Can you prove otherwise? Didn’t think so.
Bring it, get up outta the Herman Miller and throw down. Strap up your boots, let’s go.
Ha, I work from a home office. I’m taking online lessons on how to think like a consuvative , and was just pracktissing.
Umhmm, gotta go door to door, snowflake, that pulpit shit ain’t workin’. Strap up dem boots and get your ass movin’.
If written today, the constitution would be 87,549 pages long and be an incomprenhsible, unworkable mess that would only be a benefit to trial lawyers. The genius of the constitution – and in my opinion, the principal reason why it’s the oldest constitution in the world that’s still in force – is in it’s simplicity of concept.
If the Tunisians were smart enough to come up with a constitution in 2014. I have faith that America will too, just keep the lawyers out of it, that’s what our founders knew to do.
Nice thought; utterly unrealistic. Our government can’t even effectively pass an annual budget or reform the tax code.
Right, you don’t let any of those folks in. Most politicians these days are from a law background which is why they are mostly useless.
Old Jimmy Madison who wrote the thing, his academic background was in political philosophy. You leave the ideas to idea men like that.
I also fundamentally disagree with the idea that we need a new constitution at all.
I think we do, not for things like changing the 2nd amendment. But I think a new one could be good as a remedy to get rid of all the corruption in the current system.
Off with their heads…….oh wait……
I think gun ownership should be restricted to those who are members of a well-regulated militia (as the Founders intended) – where proper training and accountability is possible, and it serves a purpose. This way angst-ridden teens and yahoos who just love shooting isht up can’t get machine guns at Walmart along with pizza and sunscreen.
I’d argue that the real intent of the founding fathers was to allow citizens to arm themselves in case those citizens ever need to fight and/or defend themselves against tyranny – whether governmental tyranny or otherwise. The United States had no permanent standing militia back then (a/k/a the National Guard), so the idea that the second amendment was somehow applicable to a standing militia isn’t the case.
The colonies had a long history of disciplined and regulated militia (according to their own particular laws). The Framers (and everyone else) knew quite well what was meant by “well regulated militia” because the language had already been around for 150 years prior and accessibly defined in laws and pre-Consititutional colonial literature. The amendment enshrined the states rights to continue to support these militias, similar language had appeared in the Articles of Confederation. Look, I’m conservative leaning and generally a strict-constructionist, as such the arguments and evidence lead to one conclusion = No chance in heck the Framers or Founders had in mind what we see today.
The simple idea here, to me, is that everyone should be able to own a firearm, because we may need you and you may need it someday, and that principal still applies to today, in my opinion.
I also think anyone should be able to own a firearm, IF they are enrolled and trained in a regulated militia. This way there is accountability, respect and discipline instilled in the gun owner, and they can be reliably called upon to perform civic services and defense that would require such firearms. The right is there, but it is not absolute. None of the rights enshrined in the Bill are absolute rights.
then you need to push for a Constitutional Amendment.
no judgment there, just saying that is, according to Law and philosophy what is needed
One can only hope.
PA District 18 is a good start. So was Alabama.
Yep
People shouldn’t be able to vote until they’re 25. Not because I care, but because that’s the age that it is currently agreed the brain reaches maturity, and more evidence is that people are acting as semi-adolescents now until their early to mid 30’s. 18 is far too young. They have no responsibility, little life experience, hormone imbalances, and under-developed brains.

Comp pick for us?
Should be. Be interesting to see what kind of money he got after that ridiculous Baltimore offer.
Doubt it’s 29 with 14 gtd…maybe 9 with 4 gtd?
Comp pick-wise:
Losses: Cousins, Grant, Murphy, Long
Signings: Richardson, Scandrick
Richardson cancels out one of Murphy or Long.
If the deal that Gruden’s son gets is like the other one, Scandrick’s deal won’t wipe out that comp pick entirely.
So if I had to guess, I think we’re at a 3rd (Cousins), a 4th or 5th for Murphy/Long, and then a low one at most for Grant.
Breeland will end up signing too. That should net us another 5th?
Depends on the deal he gets. If it’s like his other deal, I’d think 4/5.
Don’t they factor in play time to comp picks after the season too.
Speaking of this ESPN, did anyone see this list? It’s quite possibly the most poorly constructed list of this type that I’ve ever seen from a major media outlet. Awful. It’s ESPN the Magazine’s idea of the top 20 most dominant athletes of the past 20 years.

Jay Gruden says it’s a strong possibility we draft a RB
What’s he gonna say?
No chance?
Of course not, but he brought it up, sua sponte, once, and Doug Williams did it twice. I think it’s clear that it’s a draft priority for them.
Royce Freeman
What position wouldn’t he say that about?
You mean the resource officer wasn’t cowering in the parking lot?!
https://twitter.com/PeggyTV/status/976099389595889668
Does anyone think that, realistically, any of these remaining FA running backs are the answer? Doesn’t it point to pretty much a mandatory LG/RB draft in rds 1 and 2, unless they sign a guard?
Darkwa is the only one I’d consider.
Agreed
if we trade back maybe. I doubt Nelson and Barkley will be there at 13 and nobody else is with that pick
Guice. I’m totally fine with drafting a guy at 13 that might be, say, between 18 and 20 on the draft board as long as that player works out. Nobody will care about the draft board in three years if the player is a stud.
Maybe
This
No. I think they are zoomed in who they want in the draft. Even if Barkley there I hope they go Guice….
under tornado watch until 7pm down here

Head down to the root cellar!
I hate speed bumps. speed tables, etc.
we have two major secondary roads that parallel each other
there is like a 5 mile stretch where there is no secondary cross connector road
which means you have to go thru a neighborhood to get from one road to another
every friggin’ neighborhood has had speed bumps installed to curtail speeding
which in FL means people drag race between bumps
floor it, slam on brakes, go over bump, floor it, …
Walter has those in Falls Church along 50.
Speed humps are the work of the devil. Unless they’re painted, you may not see them. Next thing you know, your head is slamming the roof of your car or truck.
Speeding was a big problem on my hood until they put 4 way stops at every intersection. Now the issue is people running stop signs
LOL
We love it – Pep boys
In case it hasn’t been mentioned, the Jags released WR Alan Hurns.

Interesting
1,000 yards his second season
Asked about Paul Richardson, Gruden thinks that Robert Davis can come up this year and be a big player for the team.
Said they need 3-4 guys more for camp.
____________
Last year, they had something like 10-12 WRs in camp. No doubt they’ll sign a few more.
Obviously, I just found it interesting that he pulled the Davis name up when talking about WR’s.
RDAVIS has the height weight and speed ratio to be good
Told y’all about Robert
Instead of signs advertising schools as gun free zones, post signs that say ‘Staff May Be Armed.’
Gun free zones are one of the dumber ideas this country has had.
Agreed
If you recall, last year ( I think it was 2017) when somebody tried to shoot up a church here in Texas, one of the locals pulled out a rifle and shot the guy.
26 people still killed.
It wasn’t 26. I think it was much less than that. I’ll check. Point is, that guy saved lives.
“The gunman, 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley of nearby New Braunfels, killed 26 and injured 20 others. He was shot twice by a male civilian using a rifle as he exited the church.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherland_Springs_church_shooting
Meaning, that the guy who shot the bad guy saved more lives. I applaud him.
Still, calling that a net win is like arguing that the stock market dropping 1000 points is a good thing because it didn’t drop 2000 points.
Of course it’s a win. People didn’t die because that citizen was armed and trained.
Allowing the sale and ownership of AR-15s, bump stocks, high capacity magazines, and bullets that leave exit wounds the size of an orange are even dumber ideas.
Respectfully, you still don’t understand anything about rifles.
It’s the common denominator in mass shootings.
I’d love to sit down with you and discuss this in a rational manner, and then maybe take you to a shooting range and let you see for yourself.
So AR-15s, Bushmasters and the likew are NOT the weapon of choice if you want to kill as many people as possible in the shortest span of time?
If you want to discuss this further, get ahold of me offline. I’m happy to chat about it, but I’m not doing this on this site today. I’m even in Austin occassionally.
Trespassers Will Be Shot

Yeah because school shooters are all pussies – every one of em.

Speeding in the neighborhood is a problem where I am too. But when they came asking about if we wanted a speed bump on our street I still said no.
…because a speed hump if you drive fast enough just keeps your car level, and a speed bump is just going to kill your suspension. I’d be OK with speed cameras. If you’re tracked at over 9 mph over the limit, you get dinged. Your picture goes in the paper, and you have to babysit the local elementary school kids for a week from end of school day to when their parents pick them up. any misconduct with the kids and we have a weekend party at the school. aka public hanging.
Speeding in your ‘hood, couple of bursts into the car from that AK/AR will deter future offenders
Someone bullying your kid, torch his house – problem removed
Violence solves problems in America
Normally I would suggest talking to people
but people have become so unreasonable lately
My dad told the older brother of a friend of mine when I was about 8 that if I was being a jerk he had permission to kick my ass.
we had only one kid who was a bully when I was growing up
it was self policed
The world needs bullies. Not a person walking the earth has never been bullied. Invaluable life lessons on perseverance and overcoming issues. Oh and bullying is not talking shit on the ‘net or calling you names…bullying, where I’m from, involves blood, a fat lip or a knot on the head or whatever.
If a kid or an adult cannot get past someone calling them a name, they never had a chance to begin with.
Sometimes you have to stand up and fight back.
Sign Hankins?
Ok
I’ll put in the call.
Do it!
People in the suburbs or in affluent schools think they are “safe”.
“We don’t have THOSE kinds of kids here”…yeah right.
Those are the most vulnerable schools and have the most shootings.
Plus, you all have NO idea the level of mental illness in some of our students. If I were king, I’d make sure every school has a sound student support team.
I’m sure you see that every day, in your job.
aka the parents and “family”?
If they are there, great. If they are not, you need resources to help break the cycles.
You don;t see these shooting’s at schools that have higher level of security.
Exactly, like I said below. There’s plenty of studies and research on this stuff, and it all points to that solution.
Guns are security.
Hand one out to every student and teacher.
No thanks on that how about metal detectors and armed guards and maybe lock the doors so people from outside can’t get in.
It’s a school man. Not a detention center.
Nope
Steve…
Do you know how to fight?
Huh? I thought we were on good terms, Rich?
We are…I saw your lost below about you going to the house of the neighborhood bully and confronting his parent…LOL
I can’t picture that.
That was scamp
That was scamp, not me.
The closest I’ve gotten to that is to chase down people speeding the the neighborhood.
Throwing tree branches in the road is a fun way to combat that.
I’ve gone to their house and knocked on their doors, and I also used to just stop them in the middle of the street.
After 175 complaints, local law enforcement will send a car out to run radar for a day or two.
Not in my neighborhood.
You literally have to call 175 times.
But to answer your question, I boxed a little bit in college and took some hand-to-hand combat courses in the military. I’m no Randy Savage, but I suppose I could hold my own.
Ohhh…my bad.
Arming teachers in urban schools is a DISASTER waiting to happen. Some punk ass 11th grader may try to antagonize a teacher if he knows he’s strapped. I can see a teacher with a screw loose pulling out his gun to “scare” the kids.
…just so much that could go wrong.
Arming teachers is a terrible idea.
Agree don’t need to arm teachers in cities.
Agreed terrible idea.
What I think is a reasonable proposal is to take volunteers, submit them to a comprehensive background check, then put them through an approved state-run training course at their expense.
And when they feel threatened by a student and pull the gun a shoot the kid then what? Or when the gun gets stolen and a kid uses it to kill another student?
Arm the hall monitors!
Placing more weapons inside a school zone only creates more opportunities for possible gun violence. It may decrease the threat of mass school shootings, but there could be large rise is gun related deaths on school grounds that are perpetrated by unruly school staff.
Gruden: It’s not fun to lose people who worked for you, that did everything you asked you to do. Mentions Paul, Breeland and Murphy.
You can have more fortified schools and it not be like “prison”. I’m all for it if my child is safe. I have ZERO problem with maximum security at airports…should be the same standard for schools. We’re in dangerous times.
On Guard. The plan could be both a vet FA to fill in, and a mid round draft pick. They are liking Arie’s development again. They are talking with FA’s right now. Could see drafting as high as 2nd round. Need to add someone soon just to have boddies for camps.
Arie sucks
Toe surgery….yeesh.
I’d rather have a root canal. Maybe.
Toelio?
Gruden says they WILL add 1 or 2 more corners in the draft or FA.
In my experiences, the majority of the threats are irate parents. Cussin’ people out in the school. Also, parents, particularly at the middle and high school level in some cases threaten other people’s children.
WTF is wrong with people?
I’ve seen parents do that when they think someone is messing with their kids.
Kind of makes the kids even more of a punk though, having his dad or Mom step in
I go after the kids parents. We had a kid here in the neighborhood that would bully all the kids. I saw it one day, went to the kids house and told the father that if he didn’t put a stop to the kids bullying that I was going to bully him… they moved
Arm the students!
When I lived in the projects as a child, it wasn’t uncommon for our parents to get sucked into physical altercations at the bus stop after we began fighting. This was a weekly thing.
Asked about Paul Richardson, Gruden thinks that Robert Davis can come up this year and be a big player for the team.
Said they need 3-4 guys more for camp.
We told y’all about Robert Davis!
-BC and ’65
My take on how to make schools safer….
They need to be fortified a bit better. They are wayyyyy to open. You need to build more double doors with locks, etc.
Like prison.
like a government building or airport
Ever been in any state or federal government building like a courthouse or admin building, anywhere? Armed guards and metal detectors.
Dude.
I would rather it be like a prison then to have to bury my daughter.
Marion Barry?
Bitch set me up
Yep lets put it on lockdown like Joe Clark.
They need to take a look at that. When we had an armed police officer in my school, I definitely felt safer. And they weren’t shy about intervening when needed.
I’m not for arming teachers, especially in urban areas, but I’m all for giving local police agencies more money to hire officers for schools.
I’m not for arming teachers as a generality either, maybe there are a few suitable teachers who could posse up during an incident, but I’d rather have them with bear spray, tasers, photon torpedoes, and maybe one of those Mars Attacks ray guns. MAYBE some boiling hot tar @ elevated position. But firearms?
I know people will cry about it but they’re just going to have to take security at schools much more seriously. More guards and metal detectors, and if a parent wants to whine about how it looks ask them if they would rather plan a funeral for their kid. I would not mind if my daughter had to go through more security to enter school as long as it gave her a better chance of not being shot in school.
It’s the world we live in unfortunately.
I totally agree. Some more armed cops and metal detectors would go a long way towards solving the problem. You’ll never totally deter the crazies like Victor Cruz, so there needs to be someone who can kill a guy like that.
Of course it’s not a guarantee but it will make it safer.
That’s a good start.
Next:
– Ban Bump Stocks
– Ban any rifle whose design was originally intended for combat
– Ban high-capacity magazines
– Ban .223 and other high-velocity ammo
– Ban the NRA
– Ban anyone who disagrees with this post.
– Yes
– Fully automatic weapons are already essentially banned from civilian ownership, so that’s already done
– That’s pointless
– ..223 isn’t high velocity ammo
– the NRA is a lobbying organization. What you propose is unconstitutional and incredibly dumb
– Banned.
Your reply is bannable
There’s an argument for it, why do you think there is never a mass shooting in a city school?
In part because the chances of the occurrence of a mass shooting are on the order of a lightning strike or winning the lottery.
Of the 60 or so that happen a year, 0.
at a city high school?
Answer: because they’d get shot
you wouldn’t even have to have the kids who are supposed to be there go through the full security process, it would just require them to swipe their badges at a gate, and those where supposed to be there zip right through. those who don’t have to go through security, and those who get put on a flagged list have to go through security, and have severe penalties for breaking badge procedure. like solitary confinement in a room filled only with algebra books, chalk, and a chalkboard. and the only other way “out” is sharpening up that chalk to take yourself out of the game.
Most schools have unarmed security officers, then they have SRO’s. The unarmed officers are useless in cases of violent outbreaks.
Our highschools have 1 full-time SRO, each.
Perfect
Except for the dirtbag in Bedford County that got busted for being a Chomo, yeah. But they did bust his ass, so.
Gruden on Smith:
Coach Reid comes from a similar tree, will be easy for Smith to pick up new system.
Jay Gruden on “The Fan”.
School Resource Officers (SRO) are a great resource for schools. Most are uniformed local police officers who not only provide security, they help mediate before things get out of hand.
The problem is they are only full time at the H.S. level. They float at the middle school level and are non-existent at the ES level at most schools.
Rich, are they always armed?
Yes, they are police officers. They are not Rent-a-cops (at least the ones I’ve known).
Same at my kid’s schools here in Maryland. They are County officers.
Oh, by the way, because I’m just a slave to the grind during free agency, I also updated the salary cap page last night, so everybody but Scandrick and Irwin-Hill are now included.
Thanks
School shooting update
A student pulled a gun out and shot two other students at a high school in southeast Maryland Tuesday morning before he was wounded himself, the St. Mary’s County sheriff said.
The gunman entered Great Mills High School in Great Mills, Maryland, at the beginning of the school day and opened fire, Sheriff Tim Cameron said. A teenage girl and boy were injured in the shooting.
The shooter exchanged fire with a school resource officer on campus and was wounded, Cameron said. All three students are in critical condition, but the officer wasn’t injured. It wasn’t yet clear who shot the gunman.
So he didn’t hide outside and call it in? He took the fight to the perpetrator?
there are no exits to the donut lounge, he had to shoot his way out… still had sprinkles on his ‘stache
Republicans need to get ahold of this guy in Maryland and pin some medals on him.

Hey, I slave over these columns. You guys will move when I tell you to move, and you’ll do it with a smile.
“IT’S NOT FAIR!”
Glad to see that the school resource officer was armed and appears to have taken out the gunman before he did more harm.
All school resource officers are armed.
Even in Broward County Florida
I got no problem with a cop in the school being armed for this kind of thing. Just don’t use them for the day to day discipline work that’s supposed to be handled by teachers and the principal, that’s where the cop in the school becomes a problem because they don’t know how to deal with the small things.
I’m sure there is protocol. If I remember correctly, our narcs had specific job outlines and jurisdiction (on school grounds/ off school grounds)
what separates the good schools from the poorer ones is in large part, the parents
not the teachers
Thank goodness.
