2020 Free Agent QBs:
- Tom Brady (Final 2 years automatically void on last day of league year, no franchise tag clause)
- Drew Brees (Final 2 years automatically void on last day of league year, no franchise tag clause)
- Philip Rivers

Damn.... this could be a wild free agent period next March.

I don't see him as our type of edge guy.
And he definitely sucks for a player that went that high.

Am I the only one who doesn’t trust Clemson DL anymore? They’re constantly cranking day 1s and 2s and they’re constantly average to flat out bust.

You have 4 guys getting draft hype playing side by side and then you wonder why those guys don’t hold up on their own in the nfl.

Beasley, Lawson, Dodd, Wilkins, Watkins, now Ferrell and Lawrence which the jury is out on.

The only slam dunks Clemson has produced on the DL that I can think of is Grady Jarrett and dj reader, and reader is a goddamn classic NT which I struggle to even give credit for lol
 
Bought an Earl Thomas Jersey for $20 off in Black. Really needed a Black jersey since I don't have one at the moment and I've always been a ET fan so it was exactly what I wanted.

Actually Lawrence has done extremely well, rookie or not. He is the 4th rated rookie according to PFF and grades out at 86.3. read below.

below is it the list of the top 10 rookies

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-highest-graded-rookie-rankings-nfl-week-8-2019

4. DI DEXTER LAWRENCE, NEW YORK GIANTS
As a rookie, Dexter Lawrence is making a strong case for being one of the league’s best 0/1-techs in all of the NFL, ranking third in PFF grade at the alignment at 86.3. Regardless of where he is aligned though, Lawrence has been stout against the run with an 85.0 run-defense grade ranking ninth among interior defensive lineman. Moreover, Lawrence has only one missed tackle across his 21 tackling attempts — in other words, good luck getting past this 340-pound brick wall if you are a running back.
 
Its pretty interesting that we made a push to trade for Jamal Adams, the front office really wants to load up on secondary. Its a very Patriots type defensive focus.

Bro, WE RAN THE BALL ON 3RD AND 6

lol, we have made a bunch of 3rd and 6's while running the ball. That being said, if it's the game I think you're talking about then yes, that wasn't a good call, but no one makes good calls all the time.

"Justice Hiil up the middle" - was that the call

that call you're referring to was a bad playcall but not necessarily a bad idea running the ball

because we trust the analytics we know that in lots of cases we're going for it on 4th down - that means that on 3rd and 6+ we know we've got 2 plays to get the yards - we make a playcall on the 3rd down that could get the yards but also might make the 4th down easier also

the article is also not saying harbs is perfect - in fact they said the best coaches in the league were only operating (analytically) at just better than 50%

Agree here. I pointed that out to him when it happened. The fact that it's 3rd down was largely irrelevant, because we had two more downs to gain 6 yards.

Basically bashing him for running it on 2nd and 6, if you think you'll punt on 4th. Same thing. You got two plays to gain 6 yards. Running it makes plenty of sense.
 
Well turns out Lamar Jackson decided not to wear the Flacco costume for Halloween and ended up going on with Harry Potter.

I've been spending some time in my old stomping grounds (BR.COM) trying to see what all the excuses are for Flacco, the Broncos, and how long it will take people to come to grips with Flacco not being in the league much longer.

Lets just say there's some users and mods who have been extremely "quiet" in recent weeks. A lot of big-time predictions were made over there involving Flacco being better than Lamar. That's looking quite stupid today.
