Side note on Gillmore... how shitty must they believe the FAs are to work out a guy that hasn’t played a regular season game since 2016? I wouldn’t doubt it’s mostly due diligence, but damn it must suck to be on the market right now and seeing Crockett fucking Gillmore getting a workout before you.

That would imply dan Snyder gives a single shit about the fan base which he clearly doesn’t lol

Fan base?
i started with some games earlier in the year where i had in my head that there was still some improvement required (and i do think there's still room to grow with being consistent with his hand usage but honestly the later into the season we got the better he got as a pass rusher - i wonder still how much they'll put him on the field for 1st down or 2nd and short which puts a ceiling on him but the more i watched the more you see that it's all there - he really did make a leap down the stretch last year and you just have to hope that carries over into this year
he was surprisingly effective in the run game though (just was used very sporadically)

I’m ready for that video lol. My biggest concern with him is specifically the timing of his hands, he’s often doing this premature it seems like and that prevents him from finishing efficiently. Like he’ll give a chest punch right off the snap instead of getting space and then coming in hot with extra momentum on the chest punch, just a general example lol I didn’t pull that exact thing from a video, but using his hands too early or too late is what I’ve noticed he will do from time to time and it can be a bit head scratching

i dont mind him engaging first but he has to have a plan - one of the example clips i use has him engage first and it works well and another time it doesnt work so well because he struggled to disengage - he's at his best though as you say when he uses the space to force the lineman to react and then he can use his hands more effectively there
another clip that i didnt end up using had him engaged early in the year and then he ripped hard with his hands to disengage but it didnt happen early enough in the play - was late to move to that disengage move
he was much more natural stringing moves together and setting up his rush later in the year - almost like something clicked for him
this is absolutely correct.

Hmmm it's interesting that The Ravens are working out Crockett Gilmore. If he's in shape and can get back to his 2015 form where he was ranked as the 11th best tight end overall in 2015 according to pff then not sure why anyone would dislike this move if it happens. Of course he hasn't played football in awhile though but he still is pretty young at 28 years old.
I believe it was due to him being one game away and other players being injured below him that would have replaced that pick. Not necessarily the one right below him.
in case there was any doubt left - sounds by all accounts like phillips really has won the starting job
interesting though that jeff thinks all of a sudden that warrior might beat richards out for a roster spot
yeah - had some corrupted clips so gonna have to re-record a couple of plays so bowser video wont go up until tomorrow
