Who will be tasked to recommend Tamba as his trainer this offseason? [Reply]

That post was referring to him not getting a lot of snaps this season. Not yesterday. No one who actually watched the game yesterday could've come away thinking he didn't get a lot of snaps yesterday.
But hey, don't let facts get in the way of an opportunity to shit on the kid and the people who drafted him. [Reply]

Like I said, my fault. Would you like a cookie? [Reply]

So probably a stupid question, but how does one improve their first step quickness? Is it somehow a matter of technique? Because my initial thought would be that it’s a matter of quickness and athleticism, if you’re not that athletic you’re not going to be fast off the snap. But FAU seems to have pretty good athleticism, so surely that isn’t it. Is it just anticipation of the snap? [Reply]
I hope next year we use our first round pick on someone who will contribute straight away. It's a tad deflating seeing how bad our offense is and yet we drafted a guy who's come into a stacked DE room. Perhaps FAU is going to be a real asset in the future but Ive always thought first round picks should be playing unless they're either shit or a QB for the future. [Reply]

Watch FAU's college tape then watch the game yesterday.
You know how they always talk about being able to play fast in year 2 becuase they're not thinking as much?

We had a rookie WR contribute "straight away" which is why it makes no sense how so many of you continue to complain about him not contributing while our offense is "bad".
If not we would've used that pick on one of these stud rookie WRs like Rashee Rice!
Just pretend that Rice was our 1st round pick and FAU was our 2nd. [Reply]

What's so wrong in selecting a TE like Laporta to replace Blake Bellend and have him hopefully usurp Gray at the #2 TE spot, with an eye on him being the successor to an elderly Kelce in 2 or 3 years? Also have you seen our o-line? [Reply]

Hey bloke would you say you're knackered about this? Am I using that correctly? Hope you're doing well despite the FAU situation Womble! [Reply]
