Miscellaneous Stuff that doesn't Belong Anywhere Else.

Here's a good example:

Note Brown and Lomu were the only guys that were successful here. Just sayin' ...
(And Brown was a second effort).

Lomu's agility looks amazing for a tackle. Seems like trading up was a good idea to get Lomu. I think Lomu is going to surprise us.

Not sure Jacas was worth an extra 4th and 6th.

This is the kind of guy that can be a surprise in camp. Overlooked, talented athletically, coachable, plays a position of need. Opportunity meets desire.

The longer Jacas takes to heal and sign the more chance he gives X a chance to compete for his job.

Until Jacas is on board id rather be reading about guys like this!

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!

Eesh. At first I saw "dodge a wench," which can also be a useful skill.

I had the same initial misread, leading to momentary confusion about the many scenarios in which one might need to dodge a wench.

A little context appears to be in order...

In a dark but thankfully brief moment, the expression "monkey wench" crossed my mind, at which point the dodging made perfect sense.

Doubtless caused by your associating it with monkeying around, or monkey business, right?

Why do more people keep their car's high beams on when they come toward me? That didn't happen when I was younger.

I don't know if it's that, or the brighter lights a lot of these new headlights have, and my old eyes. But I agree - also not a fan.

Indicative of the slowest, most boring, off season ever. Not wishing the summer away, but I need me some football!!

Agreed. This has been a weird offseason...don't really remember one like it. Looking forward to when camp finally gets going in a few weeks.

Yep, this offseason has been so boring, with nothing more exciting than Diana Russini filling the Athketic with puff pieces about Eagles receiver AJ Brown and Vrabel doing a defensive coaching mind meld with protege Gabe Jacas there’s been nothing to talk about. Except Christian Gonzalez’ nickname. And argue about whether we fill roster holes this year, or how we address them in the future.

Can’t wait for something interesting to start happening.
