Yeah the expected first round guys aren't going to be playing bowl games. Maybe round 2. I dunno really.

Well, maybe that's a way to get guys actually play in bowl games. With the best guys sitting out and waiting for their payday in the NFL, the bowl games have become even more meaningless. And there has to be money there, with every bowl renamed for a corporate sponsor. It's a mess and it will...

Good point. I think the Niner guy's name is Juscyzk or something with a lot of consonants. He is pretty fluid in the pass game for a FB. And you're right - Dillon doesn't have a lot of flexibility/fluidity. His hips look locked and his best angle, well it isn't an angle, it's straight ahead...

Good article, thanks. It says pay-for-play is still against NCAA rules. Yeah, right. There is bound to be a shift of talent to the schools that participate in this event. Well at least I think so (follow the money). If it's the same 8 schools, or 16 schools, or whatever - the eventual NCAA...

Yeah that's pretty much it! To bring it home for a minute, the Packers haven't had a very good D for a very long time, like their last SB in 2011. I really hope that the changes to the defensive side, and there have been a LOT of them this offseason, pay big dividends for the Packers. Even a...

This was inevitable. Who makes the decisions on which teams get to attend, because no school would say no? And considering the audience this would probably drive, $1 mil seems like chump change.

And that's why that old saying is pretty much true - defense wins championships. Now a great offense will get a team to the playoffs. From there though, it's the team with the best D that usually takes home the Lombardi. I don't recall the source now so take it FWIW. There have been six...

A lot of good comments here on NIL, and I agree with them. There was already a pretty small group of schools in D1 football who were in the mix every year - Alabama, Georgia, LSU, OSU, now Michigan looks like it's joined. And NIL will only reinforce this exclusive club. Yeah there's gonna be...

It was maddening watching the defense on 3rd and say, 8 or 9 yards. The corners would start out across from the WRs at the LOS. Then they would slowly start to back up until they were standing right in front of the first down markers. The QB would complete an easy slant for 5 yards, the...

Hafley's style and appearance certainly fit in with this total youth movement in GB. If he grew a short-cropped beard he'd look like the preternaturally young MLF.

You and Pike make good points. First of all, Stokes did suffer some serious injuries, and yes, youth is very forgiving. That said, he plays in the NFL, which is very unforgiving. He should be able to make a solid recovery. I don't know if these guys ever get back to where they were in their...

Now that I see Hafley - and I agree with your comment - I don't recall any memorable Joe Barry pressers. That may be because there weren't any, or Joe was just not very memorable, or I'm just so happy that he is gone. That's not the same as saying Hafley will be a great DC. He'll have to...

Good point. Barry's relentless use of zone mostly kept the ball in front of the defense. Well right up until the red zone and the resulting TD. Hafley's use of primarily man coverage will result in occasionally giving up big plays. A single high safety goes the wrong way, a WR cleanly beats...

Yeah and the 7th round pick, Kalen King I think, looks like an interesting guy. He was talked about as first or second round talent, and then fell off the table last year. He has something to prove. That's good.

The Bucks will bring back the starters from this team, along with Rivers, give them a full offseason to prepare, and make another run at a title, or past the first round of the playoffs..... Rebuilding the team now makes no sense. And while a title is a long shot, the entire fan base would go...
