I remember watching him at Florida and thinking he would be an interesting 3tech prospect. Didn't find him otherworldly though. 

Forgot he was a 1st round pick.  That uhh... was a bit of a reach by Jacksonville.   

No downside to these types of projects though.  

Decent prospect but probably a reach at 29.

Strength appears to be pass rushing and very poor against the run. Another PFF look --

Bummer man.

RIP Gipper

A little diddy about my man Austin Corbett.

1. He sucks -- at any position. He is a horrible football player. 
2. See number one
3. I have tracked every snap of his all preseason on GamePass and quite frankly, it pisses me off how much he sucks balls. 
4. I got PFF stats from last year and this year -- they all blow.
5. Some dudes can ball and some are in on the masquerade. Austin is the latter. Some folks have caught on that you can find a dude living under an overpass who is better than homes. Trust me, there are dudes at Mount who are way better football players than this kid.

The excuse going around now is the Browns ruined him by playing him at too many positions. I am here to tell you that is bullshit. Good football players know how to execute the basics, this clown can barely sustain a block more than a second anywhere on the field. He is Junkin bad, but that said, Forbes makes up for it.

Thanks for the kind words man.  That's the type of content I believe in and what I'm going to pursue.   I don't need/want bait headlines.   Just honest assessments, thought out and educated opinions with insight that actually informs or challenges.  I simply don't trust the reporting of Zagura, MCC, Grossi, etc etc.      Too many details get overlooked.

 

I'm working on making it to camp Wednesday.  If I can, I'll have more to share.

You may want to follow Jake Burns. 

Good stuff, thanks. You probably noticed Avery is pretty much a fulltime lineman now I assume. Edit: Nevermind, I think he was out.

That's a nice motor to call on for nascar packages where Garrett slides down. Avery has a chance to make huge leaps this year since he can concentrate solely on line play with hybrid opportunities here and there to drop into coverage. 

I think reality has set in even more, or the fact I have done some drinking while working on the house has gotten me more depressed about this. It's been building for a few days now, as it usually takes time for death and sadness to set in for me. Not sure exactly why, but I have been thinking more and more about the times I had with Stan, Kathy, Ed and Alexis to name a just a few (not even getting into the tailgates). I have a great wall of text to write that is coming soon to go along with some of the great memories here from other friends and posters. 

Rest in Peace my brother and good man, you will be missed but never forgotten.     

Kudos to Zombo for everything he is doing and has done for the board in general. Same for Mark O. 

Also kudos to my good buddy Flugs (one of my best friends in life I met through this board), who broke the bad news to me. The reality of this sucks, hard. Sorry to be a Debra Downer.

Lot's of folks have asked ... Yes, we will set something up for the family. We will collect for for flowers, plant, donation, etc. for the funeral, and then we will also collect some money for Kathy,  I don't know their financial situation but collecting some money so she doesn't have to worry about keeping the board afloat until we figure things out would be the proper gesture I think.

I will do a Paypal thingie later.

Go Browns ... Win one for Skippy ...

Zombo

I will be glad to pitch in for Kathy, the board and whatever else. Thanks for letting us know about everything and sorry for your loss along with everybody else who was close with Stan. He was a good dude.

Horrible news. Way too young, man.

Best wishes to our Western PA brothers and sisters.
