Sow was a LG in college. I never said Owenu was leaving RT. Wallace might compete at LT, but he's not starting this year. Both OL's drafted in this draft might end up at G, in particular if Pats draft a stud LT next year.
In '25 Wallace looks at best as a swing T. In '26 when we are done with Strange, he might end up at swing T back-up RG with Sow at LG. I think Mafi is out.
Pats have to probably trade for an aging LT to cover the fort in '24. Next draft we can prioritize LT
The C's with the last 15 seconds on the clock reminds of Pierce. Dribble x18, take off balance shot or make meh pass with .9 seconds left. Him and Tatum - brothers of a different mother.
Have to shoot the ball too. Plus there is the level of competition in his time. Very low when he first came in. Higher for sure towards the end. Then the ABA sapped the strength of the NBA for a few years, but since the merger, the league has gotten better with a few peaks here and there...
How about Mourning on D ('95-'00) and Rodman (Bulls) with passing skills on O? That's the ceiling if he arrived from 1961-1962 as he was IMO. Both HOF.
With the skills he had then? D/Rebounder as then. Elemental offensive skills, besides his very good passing. He'd be a liability at the end of close games with his meh FT% also (.56 reg, .6 playoffs)
8.5/13.0/3.5/2.25 in 28 MPG, and no 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team mentions. Probable 2-3 time DPOY.
No thanks to Rogers, the amount of roster stripping would be very tough to fit his salary. I don't think he'll be any factor by '26. if not earlier. Jackson is so expensive the temptation is to have him run less which is the best part of his game. He's another one that I think will be well...
But aren't these the same sort of folks who dinged BB on the last few picks because they are not at all polished D performers, but actually athletic studs to see if they can play ST? 20% of the game and 35% of the scoring is ST, but most "analysts" are focused on O or D.
Age/injury/defections...
The athletic and skill level is much higher now than in 1985 or 1965. I am not talking about the players in their time and in their circumstances (team) then. Bill Russells will to win and concentration are mythic. But when he showed up he played most of his career in 8-9-10 team leagues, and...
On the floor it was Embiid. The O slowed down, the Beard deferred, Embiid got progressively less effective. Meanwhile was it the loss or the threat of Embiid that woke them up?
Philly should perhaps have been happy with a split and given Embiid more days? I hope he continues to play in the...
My idea is to knock down the LF wall, build a copy that looks green from the field/TV but is clear to the viewers behind it in a steep grandstand. Dig up Landsdowne and get some underground parking put in. Rebuild the above ground buildings, with more parking, and cover the whole thing as part...
I left out playing and coaching, but since it wasn't near the pros, I wouldn't. Just giving context, not trying to impress the obviously superior senior folks here.
Hahahahha. Felger and his two sidekicks just said they liked Keion SMITH at the 2nd round. Like we should take those fools seriously in the first place.
As a former Manager and Software Architect I can see why an authoritarian would take umbrage. However, a young guy with talent that is frustrated and taking shots to improve is an opportunity, not someone to stomp.
BB: "Look Mac, I didn't like this going above the Coaches you had, not one bit...
In todays NFL you can't wait on guys to get open, in particular with poor OL pass blocking (both LT and RT play declined notably in '22). You have to throw to spots ahead of time. The fact that the O Coaching staff didn't have the guys ready for cutting off routes - which was brought up by...
First 5 games of '22 (sanwhiched around his injury) he was under siege. He threw 7 Ints (3 TD, 71 QBR). The following 8 games he threw 1 (7 TD, 91 QBR). It's typical for people to make judgements, and then keep them.
Using a favorite example of this - Going back to the Jim Rice vs Dwight...
