Agree with the above and absolutely agree with Ozark. Never been a fan of Bateman. I have weird taste in cinema

I’m good dude! Hope you’re staying safe. Still hoping for that Pack v. Ravens SB this season
Schwartz has way more drop backs than brown im assuming.
I hope so too. Yep staying safe so far here. Hope you are too buddy. I just hope there is football this season.

No yanda I’m expecting is going to make his job a lot harder, along with us pretty clearly trying to replace some TE snaps with WR snaps and become maybe a little more conventional.
Hayden hurst, for his shortcomings as a playmaking receiver, was an EXCELLENT H-back type, he did a lot of work running chips out of the backfield to the strong side and that also makes zeus’ job easier.
when I say regression I don’t mean he IS worse, i mean at first glance it may appear worse, because of a likely change in philosophy that naturally puts more pressure and responsibility on him. That’s why I’m saying if we Aren’t seeing struggles out of him then we have a real stud on our hands.

Pff grades are off percentages, not totals. Larger workload can result in a more difficult job for sure, but it’s not like X gives up more pressures than Y because they’re in pass pro more often.

Haven’t even watched it yet, I keep hearing how great it is but I have little desire to watch it, everyone hyped narcos the same and I watched the whole first season and it was trash.
i would agree that yanda being there helps him
not sure i see that hurst helped him much
schematically though he was put in a position to succeed with lots of downblocking opportunities where he could use his length and power to smash into the DL inside and wall-off to create space for the pullers to kick out and get through the hole
obviously that's not all he did but id say the scheme helped orlando a lot more than hurst did
yanda's the big loss clearly though

Ouch. I remember seeing Bowden’s name quite a few times up to the draft.
NFL Update (@MySportsUpdate) Tweeted:
There was a report this morning that US Marshals and the Drug Enforcement Agency seized guns from the Ohio home of #Raiders rookie RB Lynn Bowden. The team says they’re aware of the situation and won’t comment further. Bowden’s mother tweeted that her son was not arrested. https://t.co/BQ5GDjxKvt

its been talked about elsewhere but there's no sense that he's in trouble in any way - doesnt even live at the address (was his grandmother's house) and the sting that appeared to happen 1) was related to incidents at the location (not involving bowden) and 2) resulted in no arrests
so unless something changes drastically i dont think there's any real problem

Im not a fan of Narcos. Ozark is like a poor mans Breaking Bad. I hear nothing but good things about The Expanse.
the expanse is incredible - probably one of my favourite tv shows of all time through its first 4 seasons

I think he's definitely keeping his options open. The fact that he didn't outright deny being interested in him tells me at the very least we'll monitor his situation.
Methinks, we should STAY THE FUCK AWAY from him. I don't want the remnants of his Madden Curse to mix with Lamar's (potential or inevitable) Madden Curse. That's a recipe for total disaster.

I think the reason he didn’t outright deny it was just another good ole GM talk. “Say something without saying anything.”
If he were to straight up say no, you know espn will find some way to spin that into a narrative of GM and star QB does not see eye to eye.

This is purely hypothetical so please don't fixate on the first half, I'm asking about the second half of this post. Let's say EDC decidesnto sign AB or some other absolutely legitimate outside receiver after getting cut or through trade. Do you guys think a combo of Marquise and AB on the outside with Boykin in the slot would be our most dangerous option? I know we don't keep people in fixed positions by any means, I just want Boykin to find a home where he will succeed, because if he does, who could stop us?
you could do - but in that scenario you'd see hollywood play a lot of slot - dont think it would be boykin who moves inside so much - you've also got snead, duvernay and proche who will be fighting for slot snaps in this scenario
