Britt released

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I hope to Christ so, 'cause he sucks at quarterbacking.

Makes sense coming to a set in stone conclusion after a few preseason games.

He definitely needs some time & so does the team to get an offense more suited for him.

OK, so you would use Hollister in 3WR sets as a WR instead of Dorsett, Patterson or Decker. I certainly wouldn't.

I'm not even sure that I would use Hollister much in 2 TE sets. I would want a blocker opposite Gronk.

Go with hwat we have use more 2 TE sets and 2RB sets.

Gronk, Hollister, Hogan, White, Burkhead.
Hollister >> other WR options

 

[mgteich]

Almost every year, posters value a young TE with no little experience as being a better option at WR than our WR's. This year is no different.

Personally, given that we have at least 2 solid RB options as pass receivers, I find a TE that isn't a top blocker to be of minimal value. I would have Hollister active only because of his ST play.

We don't actually know that yet.



Julian Edelman (prior to Britt's release becoming public) expressed confidence by saying, "We've got a group in there that's very capable."

 

[captain stone]

I understand. But I'm still not going to assume that a positive statement from BB or a player like Edelman is simply a smokescreen, or merely obligatory, or whistling past the graveyard.

Unfortunately, and until proven otherwise, I'm going with Smokescreen.

My Island!!

For what it's worth, though: I love Brits. I could listen to those Ladies all day long.

Cherish The Ladies?

Another option is that Edelman is simply oblivious. Or obtuse. Or some other kind of "ob".

Hmmm ... definitely becoming a thread that goes well with popcorn.

 

[maineman209]

Can you guys pause for a sec? Need to refill the popcorn bowl and get another beer.

Or, you could cut to a commercial.

 

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Yes. Rad.

I await the next round with breathless anticipation (but I really need to quit smoking).

At least he has the balls to not just give his opinions on the draft based on looking at the lists that the usual experts release but go out and do it his way. There are a lot who talk big but generally only repeat Mayock, Kiper & co.

I respect that a lot. Even more so surrounded by so many hindsight bozos on the internet. Personally I love readings OTGs draft stuff because it is original and doesn't just rehash all the other sources.

Just calm down folks.

Agree with this his write ups are awesome.

Everyone misses. Especially people that do as much work on the draft as OTG does.

I don't know why you think he is doing it _after_ the draft but I remember reading his stuff in 2014 and 2015 leading up to the draft. In recent years I have somewhat reduced the time I want to spent on all this so maybe it is not true anymore.

Either way.. do whatever you think is right but given how much effort you two put into your draft stuff it is just somewhat sad to call each other out like children. Or more succinctly.. "whatever"

 

[The Brandon Five]

Then you need to read a little more because he used to post stuff pre-draft pretty much as soon as the previous year's draft was over.

My friends would you like to borrow a scratching post?
