But can he get to half a man against good OTs? Because bend don't matter off they beat you to your spot...
Eh, not too bent out of shape because we absolutely needed a complementary pass rusher and Omenihu isn't really a complement to GK. Just really would've been intrigued by Porter Jr.
Onward and upward. He'll be a player and a fun guy to cheer for. [Reply]

What chances were those? We had ONE pick and we used it. What am I missing here? [Reply]

FAU is much more bendy and agile.
tbh i say it as a compliment. his weight is 250ish but i feel like he plays like he's 290. play strength and motor, for his size, is what remind me of karlaftis the most. i def see some bend and get what you are saying though. [Reply]
Just watching that first video highlights I can see why Veach took this guy. Gonna be a monster. We build a top 10 defense and wer'e looking at an undefeated season. We get to face off with Aaron Rodgers this year. Can't wait to show the world who's boss. [Reply]

I liked the idea of Porter as well, but I'm not sure where he plays. [Reply]

We're down one supremely mediocre WR from where we were last season and there are a half dozen guys still there who can (and will, IMO) be better than JJSS as soon as next season.

How about getting a stronger defense? They won multiple playoff games the last 2 years where the defense gave up 35-36 points. That makes it pretty dang hard to win. Knock that down to 25 points or less and it's a lot more reasonable. [Reply]

He wanted to trade future draft picks to make a splash with a high draft pick. We have Mahomes, we don’t need to make splashes but some people think we need to. We call those people…

Chill out.
I'm really glad we didn't pay JJSS. Clear reminder that Bert isn't interested in paying you based on what you've already done. [Reply]

For a year he puts Sneed into the slot and probably comes off the field in 2 CB sets.
Then in 2024 he replaces him.
Seems like a pretty clear path long term but maybe Crow is right. The talent just absolutely leaps out at you. The measurables and size are legit. why's he still on the board?
