    Arif Hasan Q&A

    Hi Arif! I am a pro sports fan, eschewing viewing of the college games for a variety of reasons. I find myself fascinated though with the ever-changing structures of college football, with the Power 5 coalescing into a Power 4 (or perhaps Power 2), the constant roster turnover from the transfer...

    R7/231 Jaheim Bell TE Florida State- Doesn't this guy get a thread?

    I was kidding - need to remember to add a satire tag. I just found it funny that Develin and Jakobs were listed at the exact same dimensions as players. And indeed, Juszczyk is the kind of player more teams should be seeking - selfless, dynamic, and able to line up effectively all over the place.

    R7/231 Jaheim Bell TE Florida State- Doesn't this guy get a thread?

    A fullback! We've seen such good success with that role, but he'll need to put on both weight and height to meet the requirements: Bell - 6'2", 240 lbs Develin - 6'3", 255 lbs Jakobs - 6'3", 255 lbs IMHO, the team offense truly took a hit when Jakobs left and was not formally replaced. I...

    As with all things, it's time for the Boomers to be replaced by GenX/millennials.

    Post-draft unofficial depth chart

    Injuries and suspensions. It would seem implausible that The League won't end up suspending Boutte in fallout from his gambling arrest.

    R4/110 Javon Baker WR UCF

    Certainly agree with the prior years being the real problem, as 2023 was as bad for OT as this year is good. But while Sow did get tons of reps at RT in the preseason, he was pretty bad out there. The bodies added all came very late, after the preseason, as McDermott and Reiff went down, Onwenu...

    R4/110 Javon Baker WR UCF

    CGon made total sense as a guy who slipped and was perfect for the Belichick D. I gave him a pass there. After that though, it was ridiculous. OT was a far higher priority than any other position, and they didn't draft any at all. Unconscionable. Even hitting late on Pop, it was lousy.

    R4/110 Javon Baker WR UCF

    Gotta admit that I'm impressed by the commitment to the offense. Bye bye Juju.

    R3/68 Caedan Wallace OT PSU

    Eh, he was considered a top 5 QB in '96 and '97, maybe even top 3 behind Favre and Young. The falloff after then was considerable, but his peak was elite.

    R4/103 Layden Robinson OG Texas A&M

    Head scratcher. Assuming DAndrews returns, interior line already has a lot of bodies.

    R3/68 Caedan Wallace OT PSU

    Absolutely. I'd expect Lowe, TWj and Stueber are all likely cuts, and if McDermott gets hurt again, he can be cut for nothing. Any could land on the practice squad safely. Anderson's restructure means he'll have a slightly better chance of making the team, but even he is just a $2M cut.

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    Ah dang, there goes my hot take prediction (no RBs in the first 2 rounds). Of course it'd be CAR.

    One Draft Hot-Take

    No running backs are taken in the first 2 rounds. And the best back in the draft will be a 4th rounder.

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Nerd fans LOVE gadget players, and hope springs eternal. Turning an ex-QB turn into a Pro Bowl receiver was one of the greatest highlights of BB's tenure, and Edelman's parlayed his dirt dog jockness into a successful retirement career. Fans want to see more guys like him. The trouble is that...

    Logan Ryan has retired

    Got his rings with the Pats, his bag with the Titans (almost $60M in career earnings). Played hard everywhere he went. Congratulations Logan!

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Excellent news! SS has been the key to Belichick defenses the last decade+, so this is a big deal.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Sure, but the point is that they're unlikely to make a splash in picking up another decent safety while attention and a lot of money are tied up in Dugger. My point remains that there's a decent level of uncertainty, based on a few guys leaving, being replaced with draftees and statistically...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    This is one given for 2024 that I keep seeing repeated - "Our defense in 2023 was top 10, so run it back, and it'll be top 10 again". Well...no. Four key ingredients: - BB and SB are gone. We _think_ Mayo and Covington will step up and Do Their Jobs, but one must not ignore the stepdown from...

    2024 Sub-NFL Pro Football: UFL (née XFL & USFL), CFL etc.

    Nominally a center by role, but he was lined up off-tackle, tight end to the formation. He just sort of got lost in the wash, like many play action passes.

    Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

    As I went to go see the cap implications of the retirement, maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like he just seriously screwed over the Rams. This hit the wire this morning: https://www.si.com/nfl/rams/news/los-angeles-rams-aaron-donald-contract-restructure-salary-cap However, wouldn't...
