That's a very large man who I agree has a chance to be a contributer.

I honestly was shocked that somebody told me to relax. I didn't think I said anything remotely obnoxious or condescending. I was just beyond excited to have some football to discuss. At any rate, telling people to piss off isn't my style and I apologize to everyone. Other than the few week period last year before Hue got fired and I lost my freakin mind, I'm pretty low-key. Long-winded perhaps, but not an overt a-hole. 😁

Preach!

It was really good!

We're not going to mess around with him. It breaks my heart, but this kid will either be cut or traded in the coming weeks. I honestly don't WANT to lose him, but we're simply not going to tolerate bullshit anymore. I heart aches for people struggling with drugs, and I don't need to go into how I hate the NFL's stance on pot, but rules are rules. We don't want distractions, and Callaway is one. I hope he figures it out, I really do.

What I loved: Coming out in the 2 minute offense to start the game and EXECUTING right off the bat. It was extremely impressive and not something you generally see in the preseason, especially the first game. Baker’s accuracy. Now, we’ve known for a while that Baker can hit some tight windows, but that TD throw to Higgins was next level. That throw is extremely similar to at least one pick Baker had last year against the Broncos before half, and I think Baker MAY have had another pick in a similar type situation. If you underthrow it, the backer gets it. If you overthrow it, the DB gets it. It had to be right on the money, and it WAS. Scoring on special teams AND defense. We didn’t have a defensive TD or special teams TD last year, and let’s face it, that really hurt us. Take week 1 for example. Schobert gets that pick and runs down the sideline, but I believe it was Genard Avery that assumed he’d score and COMPLETELY missed the ONE block needed for Schobert to moonwalk into the endzone. Missing the block resulted in Schobert being tackled, and it also provided the time for Myles to trail the play and have the worst block in the back penalty I’ve ever seen. Does Joseph get blocked ten yards closer? We’ll never know, but Schobert should’ve scored on that pick, and it cost us the game. Defensive and special teams TD’s are worth so much more than 6 points! Mack Wilson and Greedy Williams getting multiple picks. Yo! What I didn’t love: Kalis FINALLY cementing the starting job, and then getting a concussion. I feel really bad for him, and I hope he gets healthy soon. Two turnovers inside the 5 yard line. It’s preseason, and now is the time to learn the ball security lesson, but those two plays NEVER should have happened. I get that we’re trying to work on stuff, but let’s get jumbo package and stuff the ball into the end zone please. Busted coverage from two of our rookies. Again, this was definitely the forum to have a busted coverage, but c’mon guys!! My favorite moment of the night: Sheehy breaking off the 86 yard punt return and the entire team running down to the end zone to celebrate. It was truly something special.

Sounds like a 3rd rounder if Duke plays 10 games, so I like the sound of that. I don't love trading him, but I think I'm more angry with him than anything. I didn't see WHY he needed to be traded. Didn't make sense to me, but whatever. A 3rd rounder is no joke, so hopefully he stays healthy.

I'm really trying to be patient with this pick, but man. It was such a high, valuable pick that many of us couldn't understand it. We gave Dorsey the benefit of the doubt because of his track record, but there were SO MANY other players available it left us confused. It really seemed like the easiest pick to make, right? You had all night to think about who to draft, and you picked a chubby kid from a small school that couldn't play tackle and you HOPED for guard or center? Yeesh.

My lord.

Plus 50 funny points for mentioning the bend and snap. I'm really digging this camp so far! Kitchens seems like he's deadly serious about practice, and I LIKE it.

OK, so I just listened to the podcast and here's the deal with Callaway. First of all, Higgins is looking VERY good and isn't leaving many opportunities for anybody else. We already know Baker favors him, and Higgins could likely owe his next contract to his buddy Mayfield because if you remember, Higgins was no guarantee to MAKE the roster last year, let alone be mentioned as our 3rd starting WR. Second thing Freddie said about why Higgins is playing with first team was, "I like players who are where they're supposed to be." Apparently Callaway had two mental whoopsies, one that should have resulted in a pick 6 from Greedy. Higgins understands that he's not the biggest or fastest, so he HAS to get the details right, which is probably why Baker trusts him so much. Callaway needs to get mentally in tune with being a professional, and if he does, watch out.

The only thing I heard was that he didn't run with the first team, but we also didn't run a bunch of multiple receiver sets. Prior to camp, several people said that Callaway worked on his craft and looked to be in sensational shape. That's excellent news for us. So much attention will have to be paid to other receivers, meaning that Callaway will likely be matched up with the 3rd CB, which is a favorable event for us 9/10 times. If Callaway develops into a weapon, and don't forget he didn't play football prior to last year, our offense is downright volatile.

I think that's what we're looking at!

I know. I almost cringe every time I see an NFL headline populate because I fear the worst. We got relatively lucky last year, hopefully that continues!

I'm trying to get to the Seahawks game in October, just need to find some affordable plane tickets from Florida!

Duke won't be a malcontent. Even though I don't really understand WHY he wants to be traded, the reports I read said he showed up and worked hard....so far.

I think I definitely agree. Like they said, Freddie is a first time coach, and with that will certainly come some bumps. We have talent, but we have to play as a team and keep it together when the bumps arrive.

I know, I thought the same thing. We needed Landry's intensity and attitude after coming off a winless season, but when you look at his numbers and then the production, it's a tough sell. That being said, should Landry blow up this year with 1200 yards and 10 TDs, then you can't get rid of him no matter what. LOL. He could easily have better numbers than OBJ if only for injury concerns. I certainly HOPE we don't cut him or trade him because I think he's good for our team, I really do. Good for our franchise in ways that go beyond stats and analytics.

I think so. I just remember Trent being drafted and the person who called his card said "Trent, The Silverback, WILLIAMS!"

I like any player that designates himself as "The Silverback." Lololol

LOL! Yep! Treat mostly spends his time now on the Hallmark Channel! 🤣

Gipper wins the internet today. We can all play again tomorrow. Goodnight and good luck.

Tons of heart and he's a likeable dude. I really think he and Denzel could cause some problems this year, and our other corners aren't too shabby either.

That's a fair point, but I really do wish everyone was there. It seems like a missed opportunity to build friendships and team unity. Like, if you're out there busting your ass and your best WR isn't there with you and is instead showing off his car...does that create problems? Eh, probably not. Btw, Beckham's car is so ridiculous I love it. Would I spend $500k on a car? Hell no. I'd spend $75k, tops, and then I'd donate the other hundreds of thousands. That's easy for me to say, but then again, I'm a social worker and that's how we think. Lol If you haven't seen Beckham's new Royles, stop what you are doing and go look. Back on topic now....our other receivers are apparently lookin good. Did you see that catch Higgins had from Baker? First the throw was just bonkers, but Higgins definitely caught it. Callaway being at camp is HUGE, and don't forget some people had him as the best WR in his class. Callaway will never face double coverage and will likely draw the 3rd cornerback. That's a great matchup for us.

That is an excellent point, I forgot about the losses of those players!
