I love watching NFL films from the Lombardi Era. The blocking was superlative but the defense played with its hair on fire. Wood and Adderly were tremendous and Jordan and Davis didn't waste any time getting in the backfield. They gave up big plays but what they did frequently is break open a...

When you play soft, its nearly impossible to stop a team from scoring on the last drive of the first half or game. It's hard enough to stop a team when they have 3 downs but when they are in a 4 down situation, a soft defense is always going to give up the play to keep the chains moving. Having...

As I said a year ago, the Bucks are hopelessly old with no draft picks. The Giannis era is as good as done. They won't get much for the old guys like Middleton but trading Lillard can hopefully still net them a 1rst round pick given his contract situation. It's also time to trade Giannis for at...

I wouldn't assume that somebody that just turned 25 years old can't make a full recovery. If anybody can make a full recovery from an injury, it's an elite athlete that is very young. It remains to be seen, but I wouldn't be surprised if Stokes is 100%. If Stokes were 35, I'd have my doubs, but...

Stokes was the real deal in 2021. Hard to imagine all of that talent simply disappearing unless the injuries have slowed him down. Its not like he just benefitted from superb play all around him. He was put on an island and thrived. I hope Hafley brings out the 2021 Stokes. He deserves the...

Davante has always been a great teammate. The timing of his praise is during contract negotiations. Any coincidence? The praise is genuine while the timing is an assist to Love.

I fail to have your sense of optimism on the Monk pick. Most of the time when a GM reaches for a pick and Monk was a projected late 7th round pick, it doesn't work out. The odds are against the Monk pick working out. Maybe he'll be good enough to be a serviceable backup. The Packets will be fine...

How do they fix the center situation? There are two options. Tom moves over and leaves a hole at RT. Perhaps Morgan can play RT but that's a big assumption since he's more likely to play guard in the NFL given his agility limitations. Perhaps Morgan can play center but he would need to learn an...

I think this draft class has some good picks but it has way too many players that were reaches. History has shown that reaches don't pan out very often. There's especially a huge opportunity cost of reaching in the top half of the draft. Despite the picks, the draft class left the o line...

The Packers have better options at box safety. Bullard has the speed to play in the slot or free safety. Agree that playing him at box safety is a mismatch. On passing downs, I can see him playing in the slot and on running downs I can see him playing some free safety.

I went with Carlson over Joseph because he's a draft pick. Any ties go to a draft pick. While Williams is a 4th round pick, he may not be a 4th round talent. People have been counting Ballentine out for a while and he seems to always make it. I think King will get some seasoning on the practice...

With the draft finally over, it's not too soon to speculate about the 2024 roster. Here's my initial guess. Look for Gute to add a few more free agent line backers, edge rushers and wide receivers to round out the practice squad. QB- Love, Clifford RB- Jacobs, Lloyd, Dillon TE- Musgrave, Kraft...

I think Gute was drafting for roles more than just speed in his DB picks. Oladapo is your proverbial thumper box safety. He lacks the speed to play free safety but has the size to bring the wood in the running game. I see him in there more on running plays. Bullard has the speed to play free...

I have nothing against King from a character perspective. He's always handled himself with dignity. As a football player, he left a lot to be desired. Part of it is bad luck as his selection after bypassing TJ Watt likely cost the Packers a future HOF and trips to the Super Bowl. At the time, I...

King had a chance to come back the next season in 2021 and prove himself without a supposed bad back. He still stunk it up!
