He did just fine against the best in the Big 10. It is a legitimate thing at his size, though, against some of the NFL's truly powerful DEs like Garrett and Henderson. Doesn't make it a "big red flag." I think his 2nd year will be much better than his first once he gets the chance to lift a lot and put on 15 lbs in that bottom half. Raimann and Slater were very similar, and so was Fautanu, who went top 20 but got a redshirt. [Reply]

Seth Keysor in particular is so bad that he had no clue about FAU as a prospect and had to watch tape the following day to give his opinion on the player. I can't listen to a lawyer give professional takes on my football team. [Reply]

That’s well put.
What frustrates the hell out of me, and has for years now, is the Bolton takes from OWG’s specifically.
Generally I like Seth. But…. as a litmus test, when you try to suggest a guy like Bolton is very replaceable, to me you’re just outing the fact that you’ve never really grown to understand the game at a field-level.
And there’s nothing wrong with having never played or coached and being an analyst. But damnit, don’t pretend simultaneously that players only add value in the form of their own individual play.
It felt like rocket surgery to explain to Keysor how Bolton makes the other guys around him better, and he still stubbornly never really gave it any credence. [Reply]

Seth’s open about not watching college football and is a full time lawyer and part time pastor. He’s up front about it and has a life outside of it. I don’t always agree with him but to me most of the time he comes in far less biased. His two co hosts are complete shit anymore. [Reply]

Stuff like that’s not quantifiable and non player brain types can’t process it. Most people like that prefer baseball because it’s more stats that anything. [Reply]

He is annoying.
Too enthusiastic.
With that said all of his takes are deeply analytical and make sense. He eventually will toe the Chiefs company line though. [Reply]

Better than Josh briscos purely emotional take of the day or tuckers twitter told me opinions. They’re all going to be homers at the end of the day. They’re started out as fans. Hell you won’t find a more negative place than this about the chiefs and how many people predicted a superbowl struggle? Like two? [Reply]
It seems odd to me that if Moore was starter quality, why would San Francisco let him walk? Trent Williams is 36 years old and was rumored to be considering retiring at the end of the season. Unless they plan to draft his replacement with their first pick, then who is going to replace Williams? Maybe that's the plan. They have pick 11. [Reply]

probably because his contract was up and they still have Trent Williams. [Reply]

$30 mil for a backup (for them)? They’ve got a lot of guys taking up cap space and now have to think about paying Purdy.
We just traded Thuney - the best guard in football - not because he was not quality but because we had to get cheaper somewhere. [Reply]
Deal looks pretty friendly. Just over 11M hit this season, and 18M the following year. If Moore is at least serviceable, this is a real steal for the next two years. [Reply]
