That'll be 3 years for Zay after next season, still some time for EDC to make all of them fit in.

Paying 2 TEs when there's a limit on how often you can use them together would-be a bad move.
I think the only way we keep Likely is if they trade Andrews away. (which might not be so crazy as Isaiah improves and Mark ages.).
However the reasonable contract that'd make Andrews attractive to other teams is also a good argument for keeping him.

Terrible allergies and can’t sleep again, I just watched the AFCCG highlights, no way Lamar lets us lose to this team, we’re going to send a message to KC and their fans
and if Bateman goes off, we may want him as well.
That being said, we have Linderbaum, Hamilton and maybe even Oweh on the horizon. We just gave big contracts to Madubuike and Ro and of course Lamar. Humphrey has a big contract, although I'm not sure how much longer he will be here. Even if Bate doesn't go off with all the contracts we have, I'm not sure we will be able to pay Likely. Maybe we can get creative, but I'm not sure.

Anyone in here ever done Carnivore diet? OMG the diarrhea is no joke. My asshole is in the battle of it’s life….. I’ve always preferred a balanced low carb diet , fruits, veggies, and a lot of steak or chicken , but I thought I’d give Carnivore a try since it’s all the rage amongst the bros. Not sure how anyone maintains this…. Send wet wipes please

I had the opposite experience. By eating less and only meat it was constipation early. But after about 2-3 weeks everything was normal again.

How long did you last? Seems like a great way to lose weight, but I really miss mixing in veggies at dinner and fruit in the morning. told a buddy I’d give it two weeks , but apparently my body doesn’t like it. I’d absolutely recommend it for anyone looking to shed a quick ten pounds. I also miss whiskey too much to be a strict carnivore.

About 2.5 months. At that point I added back in things eggs, and dark leafy greens. And then occasionally some other ingredient if it was convenient. But 90% meat

Last day in London... heading back to the US tomorrow. Visited Westminister Abbey, did Buckingham Palace today. Cool city to see, especially with all the old buildings and what not. Going to do the London Eye tonight and walk the bridges one last time. Now to figure out what country I want to see next year.

Asia! My vote is Japan, Thailand , or Vietnam. Korea is overrated IMO

It all depends on how they wanna handle andrews when the time comes. The way likely is playing he is gonna get a fat offer if he hits the market, one that we can’t and won’t match for a second big TE contract. If they’re okay moving on from Andrews then we might see likely stay, but he’s the ultimate Harbaugh guy, I don’t see it happening.
Monken needs to build an offense that uses both of them as a receiving threat as the base of the offensive philosophy, without that I don’t see the FO justifying both guys on the books.
Next year in October, I'm going to Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Singapore
I will be leaving for Spain, France, Italy and Andorra on Friday and will return on 9/14.
I mean we watched the Patriots build an entire offense on a 2 TE system. Now granted prime Gronk was better than Andrews and Likely still has to grow but it’s not impossible to go that route.
My girlfriend is vegetarian and I was in Seattle eating mostly as such / healthy for 2 weeks before visiting my college friend in Chicago who proceeded to make tbones for breakfast, Portillo's for lunch, hot dogs dinner etc and it fucking killed me I felt awful lol

I’m so jealous. That sounds like an amazing trip. Eat lots of Pho and Ramen for the group

I could crush a Portillos Chicago dog right about now. Vegetarians are interesting to me, I never felt satiated on a veggie diet. I also couldn’t get my energy levels where I wanted it to be so I ended up gaining weight eating some much fruit….. I still think the Mediterranean diet is best for folks but I Iove steak to much to switch over to primarily chicken and fish

They used 2TE more than anyone else but it wasn't the entire offense. Back then, they had the advantage of defenses automatically playing base in response to 2TE, now they usually mostly use nickel, so the obvious passing advantage isn't there anymore.
I like 2TE looks a lot and hope we do plenty of it, I just don't think paying 2 high priced TEs is a smart strategy at the moment, when nobody has ever found a way to build a whole offense out of it, so one or other of your expensive players will be on the sidelines too often..
If Monken does design something great this year, I'd be all for paying Likely.

Guessing alcohol consumption went up exponentially as well, which may have had some effect.

Also didn’t hurt they had two of the greatest slot receivers to play the game and Randy Moss.
