WEDGE IS SPEAKING TO ANOTHER ALIEN AND PUTTING A HEADSET ON HIM
Come here little Gurker….Wedge is going to make you a genius. I know everyone says Gurkers are the dumbest aliens in the universe – but not you after I put this smart gear on you!
Oh hey there Dolfans. What? Oh this little Gurker…It’s not really a “make you smart” head gear. It’s more like a brain scrambler.
5 minutes from now, this Gurker won’t know what Galaxy he is in. This headgear scrambles everything.
I imagine that is the kind of confusion a versatile tight end can cause a defense to experience. Like Indiana’s Ian Thomas
THE POSITIVES: Ian Thomas has the frame and physical stature to play tight end at the NFL level. At 6’5, 250 pounds, this tight end is going to pose problems in the NFL in the red zone.
Thomas also has pretty good speed. His 4.74 40 yard dash was 5th among tight ends at the combine. Add that to his 3rd highest vertical jump and 2nd longest long jump and you get the picture. Thomas is a pretty good athlete.
Thomas can separate from defenders and fine soft spots in the defense quickly. Thomas also demonstrates extraordinary body control, good hands and has great strength. But there is something else about Thomas worth mentioning – he’s a little bit scrappy.
Thomas doesn’t shy away from contact and sometimes appears to look for it. He uses a stiff arm often and effectively against defenders.
THE NEGATIVES: Thomas is really raw. He’s a bit of a project. That might prove difficult for the Dolphins since as it stands right now they need a tight end to step in immediately.
His stats are not going to wow you. He basically played one year at Indiana, his senior year. Thomas actually transferred from community college in Maryland to Indiana after his sophomore year.
Before his senior year – Thomas had 3 catches. In his senior year Thomas caught 25 passes including 5 touchdowns. He was probably a littler underused.
THE ALIEN DUST: The difference between Thomas and some of the other day 1 and 2 tight ends is that Thomas really has a chance to develop into a pretty good blocker in addition to receiver. Thomas might be the most compete tight end prospect.
On a very superficial level, he reminds me of former Dolphin Dion Sims. But he is nowhere near the blocking Tight End Sims was coming out of Michigan State. That said, good coaching might help Thomas a really gifted football player.
Expect Thomas to be off the board before the 4th round is through. The raw talent is too much for NFL to pass on.
Ian Thomas reminds me of my favorite mind scrambler – scrambling the minds of defenses each week.

. Not guys who lose their cool, and put themselves before the team. Ajayi was a guy who played hard, but didn’t want to put in the extra time to learn the things his HC wanted him too.
____________________________________________________________
Sorry Mike, I don’t think that statement is accurate, Ajayi was complaining to coaches about not getting carries and in Gases eyes that became a distraction, I doubt his departure had anything to do with his work ethic and more to do with personality conflicts between him and the staff.
I believe lack of work ethic was brought up by Gase. He didn’t say name but seemed easy to figure out.
And complaining about lack of carries is a me first attitude. Maybe the fact he didn’t go with the plays enough is why he didn’t get “his” carries.
Can’t let the Ajayi thing go already. He’s gone. We’ve got Gore and Drake now. We’ll probably add a rb in the draft. Let it go
Fits a narrative. Without it there is no narrative.
I’m looking forward to seeing what we do in the draft and if we add any more free agents to help the team. I’d like to see Gase get the offense where he wants it to be with the weapons he needs to run it properly and add a couple key defensive players.
The other guys, Landry, Suh, Ajayi are no longer on the team. Time to move forward.
I’d like to see us get a tough guy at TE and that’s why I’m really high on Tyler Conklin. He’s a good blocker but he’s tough catching the ball and running with it afterwards. He’s not a finesse guy at the TE position. Maybe Wedge should check him out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Pk7mMm8Iw
I am looking forward to the draft as well. The team has needed an identity make over for years. Really hasn’t had an identity since the Marino years. Gase seems to be the first coach since Shula who knows what personality he wants the team to have. The rest coached scared or, in the case of Saban, tried to fun it like a college team.
Run it, not fun it.
LOL, that is a funny miss-type considering there doesn’t seem to be anything remotely fun about Saban..LOL
Yes Saban was a barrel of laughs.
The other guys, Landry, Suh, Ajayi are no longer on the team. Time to move forward.
You know who else is not on the team? Nick Foles!
Only 24 days left!
Hey Admins…We appear to have been hacked. I am getting spam emails from Russian porn sites that “Liked my comments on FinsMob Unleashed.”
Really?
Anyone else?
Yes, really.
Weird – I copied and pasted the email, but it won’t post. Pigs – check the spam box – probably in there.
That was one of four
Were they good Russian porn sites? I am a bad man
Emails were full of links, none of which I would advise anyone to click.
careful this plate is hot (says the waitress)…. Rockphin touches the plate
Do not click the link…..Rockphin’s hands start shaking, sweat appears on his brow….
We are undoubtedly, assuredly absolutely drafting a TE this year right?
A.J. Derby, MarQueis Gray, Thomas Duarte
That is what we have right now. That can’t possibly be the plan going forward. Right? RIGHT?
We’re going to trade for Gronk. And Foles. And Earl Thomas.
Apropos?
Seemingly every year, a top-5 prospect falls. Could it be Josh Rosen this year, after Jim Mora’s words about him?
James, Minkah, one of the top 3 QB’s, Barkley, Chubb, Smith, Edmunds, Nelson, Ridley, Ward
One of these guys will be a Fin if we stay @11
Or it could be a 4th QB and his family?
That quote about Rosen from Mora probably won’t cause him to drop
My thoughts.
They actually haven’t changed very much with FA.
With the first 5 picks we are looking for LB, QB, RB, OL/DL, TE
11: R1P11 BPA of those 6 positions!
42: R2P10 TE, or BPA @ one of the positions left after the first pick
73: R3P9 If you haven’t taken a TE by now you better get what’s left! If you have it’s pretty much BPA of the remaining!
123: R4P23 QB, RB BPA what’s left
131: R4P31 RB, QB BPA what’s left
Lots of different ways it could go down!
Thats why i think its going to be
BPA
BPA
BPA
BPA
BPA
BPA
BPA
BPA
I dont see why we have to try to cram specific positions into specific spots. We have enough places where we need to get deeper at the position and we have a deep enough talent pool to get them at different spots. They just need to get their guys are whatever level they can and at whatever cost makes them comfortable about getting the rest of their list addressed. There is no reason to sweat any pick this year.
Kinda scary im liking Walter, o Walterfootball’s mock.
Baker Mayfield QB OU
Hayden Hurst TE South Carolina
Justin Jones DT NC STate
Shaqueem Griffen LB UCF
Trayvon Henderson S Hawaii
Brandon Facyson CB VT
I think i would have preferred an OL at the last two spots, Joseph Notebloom was still there for the last one and Chukwuma Okorafor, was there for the one before. Either one of those could have been swapped out the corresponding OL choice and i would have been a little happier with that draft.
I never like Walter’s drafts, this is one of the few ones ilike. Charlies are usually much better.
Charlies is
Roquan Smith LB Georgia
Ronald Jones II RB USC
Tyrell Crosby OT Oregon
Kentavius Street DE NC State
Dalton Schultz TE Stanford
Its a solid draft, he had us passing on Mayfield to take Smith.
I like Hernandez. I liked him even better when I thought we would have s hot at him in RD 2, now I think he’s probably gone in RD 1
Lol
There’ only 5 guy’s i’d take before Roquan Smith!!!!!!
QB SAM DARNOLD
QB JOSH ROSEN
RB SAQUON BARKLEY
EDGE BRADLEY CHUBB
G QUENTON NELSON
Tremaine Edmunds and Mayfield for me, that is if our FO really likes him.
I really like Edmunds!
Mayfield has Johny Foosball, and Ryan Left written all over him! JMHO
I dont see the Ryan Leaf comparison at all. Leaf had 0 leadership attributes, Mayfield seems strong in those areas. He also seems comparable to me to Manziel only in a very slight way. His play style is similar but he has more refined ability than Manziel and his cockiness on the field is comparable, but he is a beeter on-field leader too, and he has more inspiring qualities that make other players follow him into battle than i ever saw from Manziel. They both are uber cocky,so i get why he is cmpared but i think its stops pretty short of them being identical.
D
It’s the Frat Boy attitude!
Nothing more
I get what D is saying too. That boy, frat boy or not, is a leader of men. His team believes in him and follows his lead, so to me, that’s what’s important. Frat boy to me just screams immature, but he has the maturity to lead other people, so . . .
Like I said JMHO!
Ain’t no such thing as a humble opinion.
Personally my opinions are full of bravado
You guys can’t see it from your end / but I actually shoot fireworks out every time I post an opinion
Yeah, that arrest video and grabbing his crotch on the sideline just SCREAMS maturity
I think one thing that Adam Gase has going for him is that he can REALLY get into the mind of a young QB. Seems Gase can TOTALLY get with a QB… and all the way to being ‘buddies’.
THIS, to me, makes me think we’ll take a QB within the first 4 rounds.
You better because after the 4th your wasting your time!
Agreed, Wyoming!
I also believe that Logan Woodside is on our radar.
11. Miami Dolphins: Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State
https://newarena.com/nfl/2018-nfl-mock-draft-3-0-who-will-your-favorite-team-select/10/?amxt=fbdt_svrnrc
I wouldn’t like that pick
I wouldn’t leave Smith on the board for it!
IF we truly believe in Xavien and Cordrea… NO.
🤯
Yes I got the spam emails Phish was talking about as well.
I’d avoid Mayfield like the plague. Just like Reuben Foster last draft, the kid is bad news.
But what if Gase REALLY likes Mayfield, as has been reported, time and time again?
Then I prey he’s a better judge of character than I am!
Tim Knight says:

Here’s the thing for me. We’re just fans of the team. Gase is the HC and it’s his right to get the players he wants to go to battle with. After all the performance of the team is on him. We just root for the brand and hope for the best.
I understand what you’re saying but it doesn’t mean we have to be happy about it; especially if it doesn’t work out. If it works out than you eat crow. If not, ………
Of course! All I care about is the team competitive, exciting and playing meaningful games down the stretch and making it to the postseason. Then it’s up for grabs. You can’t win it if you’re not in it.
Im not sure how you wouldnt be happy about something that hasnt turned out bad yet. Its your opinion that its a bad pick, and you could be wrong. You should assume you know less than they do, because quite frankly they do it for a living and we dont. Im sure every single one of us has been right and wrong about a bunch of our choices so why be upset if for instance they pick Mayfield. Wouldn’t they know if that’s the right guy for them? Dont they have a lot riding on a pick like that, like a lot more riding on it than us?
interesting
How can you tell the new Russian Spam from the regular Porn Spam?
Oh Well it did remind me to go clean my Emails out!

Need to stop visiting those mail order bride sites.
Sears and

The only pick i can, at the time of the pick, remember not liking was the Caroo pick. I had a couple of “Who is this fucking guy” moments, and really the Caroo pick was one of those too, except it also came with trading a 3rd and a 4th to move up to get him. Once i settles down and reviewed some of his game tape i was pretty ok with the pick and even though it hasnt worked out im pretty ok with it now. They wanted him, they went up and got him and im sure those two picks didn’t make or break our season last year.We make too much over a few picks we woory too much about what we coulda had vs what we did get. Its also not going to work out all the time, including the ones we treade up to get so just live learn and move on. As long as this franchise is here next year ill be a fan next year no matter who we took, what round, trade uor down, whatever.
Nobody reads
I’d be happy with any number of picks at #11 including a qb if that’s what happened. As long as that qb isn’t Mayfield. In no particular order and including the obvious:
Rosen
Chubb
Fitz
Edmunds
Smith
Nelson
Ridley
Darnold
So, there’s a lot of guys I’d be happy with and I can’t say I’d really be happier with any one of these guys over another. They all have the ability to help the team out for quite awhile and be very good at the next level.
Thanks to Phish now I know it was just the regular porn spam!
🤙
So who else got snow today? Enough already, it’s friggin April and yesterday was Easter. Spring, stop being a douche. LOL
Got snow but it warmed up and got sunny and it’s all pretty much gone
We got about 6 inches this morning. Most of has already melted
Probably got 3 inches and it’s melting because it’s in the 40’s but it’s cloudy so not melting as fast as I wish it was.
I have no clue what we are going to do at R1 P11. About the only thing I am certain of is we are not drafting is a long snapper. I think everything else is on the table
I remember having sex with a long snapper once. Tall blonde woman.
I have eaten red snapper before oh wait a minute
Those Russian brides emails streng spam guys. They are an opportunity!

Maybe some here like your posts, but no Russian prostitutes or mail order brides do……
No Russian prostitutes were harmed in the making of this blog
Dang D what am I doing wrong? How do you guys attract those Russian girls?
we could do better in the draft. I’m still hoping we go two TE’s like we did with DT’s last year. no reason why we shouldn’t.
Well that just moved Hurst up some. Still dont know if i think he will be taken in the first but the Pats might. snag him with the next to last pick. If he makes it past the Pats i think he could make it to our 2nd pick.
Is Ireland in Cleveland?
Interesting. Out of how many total WR? I mean if it was 46th out of 1,000 that would be pretty good, but 46 out of 50 not so much.
well, considering there’s guys who were picked later in the draft who have performed better than him it really doesn’t matter. but, to answer your question, a lot of the wr’s after about 70th only have one season of stats in that 3 yr period to show for and there’s a lot of guys on the list.
I’d say you’re probably talking a solid 75 to 80 wr’s.
2 things…
1) This is what happens when Tannehill and Cutler throw only to Jarvis Landry, all day, for 6 yard gains.
2) DeVante has been battling the injury bug.
he was also 69th in receiving yds per game in that same period among NFL wr’s
66th in td’s.
Well if each team keeps 5 WR on the roster, that’s 160 WR. So all those numbers make him an upper middle of the pack receiver.
He has talent, just can’t stay on the field.
and how many of those 5 wr’s are starters. have to put things into perspective.
Well Parker is not a starter either…what are we debating anyway?
how the hell can you say he’s not a starter? sure he is.
???????
I got a thank you email from Sputnikporn.com. Something about we’ll be sending all your friends some spam shorty, and thank you for your patronage. PS – We LOVE Trump. 🙂
Dang…what does one do with a “Spam Shorty?”
Parker is a bust. Everyone’s injured in the NFL and guys play thru it. He hasn’t produced in his first three years and I’m not expecting anything different from him this year. We can try and rationalize it as much as we want and say he’s been injured (for 3 seasons?) and we’ve targeted Landry too many times but he’s worthless.
I simply disagree with ya, man, though I respect your opinions. But the fact is, it’s a make-or-break season for DeVante. If he doesn’t show and prove this year, you will be correct.
I understand you wanting to hold onto a guy and hold out hope for someone who’s a player on this team but it ain’t happening. He doesn’t have it in him.
so, what do consider salvageable? If he scores 3 or 4 tds and has 750 yds receiving is that good enough to say we keep him around or do we shop him?
46th in receiving yds
69th in receiving yds per game
66th in td’s
B U S T!!!

All good: we can agree to disagree.
we can agree to disagree and that’s fine but when you see what you’ve seen in 3 yrs, not 1 but 3, and you see that he hasn’t been able to put it together you just have to be realistic about the situation.
like Parcells would say, “if they don’t bite as pups” and Parker never bit. He’s got a lot of athletic ability but he doesn’t have what it takes to be a professional in the NFL.
I hear ya, and I sometimes question DeVante’s maturity, too. However, we’ve seen many flashes of what he IS capable of doing… if he can only stay healthy.
If he’s a ‘prima donna’, he’ll be gone soon. Low-cost, high reward if he shows and prove this season.

My two faves from this class were Ty Montgomery and Chris Conley. Not that I thought they were or would be upper echelon WRs, but they were just SOLID, IMO.
And yes… I loved DeVante coming out of Louisville.
I liked Lockett and Diggs the most of any of them.
I know Rgs can back me on my man crush of Ty Montgomery! 🙂
Is this the one about how do you keep a Pollock in suspense because I’m a Pollock
You’re a fish?
thus my love for the Dolphins
That’s all the guys drafted with Parker. Most are long gone.
Not many did well. Kevin White has hardly played due to injuries. Same with Perriman. Montgomery has made a little noise, but at RB.
Diggs turns out to be the steal. And Lockett is good?
and the point?
It’s turning out to be a bust class. LOL
You can add Phillip Dorsett to that list as well.
I think the team will give Parker this offseason – TC and PS to prove himself and if he does well he’ll be part of the WR rotation. If some other WRs step up in TC and the PS and they feel they can move on from him, they could trade him for a conditional pick in 2019 based on performance. The problem is if we don’t sign him to his 5th year option he becomes a UFA next year so will a team be willing to trade a pick for him and do an extension or risk losing him to FA?
my biggest concern with him would be if he shows enough this year to hang around and is signed to an extension and shits the bed. that’s my biggest “fear”.
My hope is that we either pick another wr in the draft or have someone in house who can take his job away and never look back. If he couldn’t stay healthy in 3 yrs it’s a longshot that he’s going to all of a sudden put it together this season.
And I don’t know so much it’s just about being healthy as it is having the mental makeup to play thru an injury or injuries others would play thru.
He does play through the injuries but the coaches see he’s not the same guy running and jumping. We’ll see. I really don’t have a gut feeling about him. I wish he would be what I thought he would be. 🙂

I can’t put stats on that question, bud. If we TRULY spread the ball around with Tannehill (meaning equal distribution, instead of Tanny only throwing it to his ‘Linus safety blanket’: Jarvis), stats will be ‘essentially’ meaningless.
This is another case where the tape > stats… as far as his value is concerned. If DeVante is healthy, I think we’ll get a better gauge of matters.
Tannehill spread it around more in 2016 under Gase and attempted more down field stuff to Stills and Parker. Landry last season has nothing to do with Tannehill. If he had a better TE I think we would have seen more of that too.

Well, there you have it. Pouncey brothers training with Foerster and giving him props. WTF is that shit?
https://twitter.com/miaphinsfootbal/status/980945927082070023
WOW!!!
Glad that punk is GONE!
Must be a cocaine connection.
Now we know who his dealer was
I should know this, but I don’t, being the ‘Compensatory Pick Formula’ is all but top secret and I can’t keep up with the details…
IF we let DeVante walk into FA after this season (IF he sucks), wouldn’t we get a decent compensatory pick, based on his former 1st round status? If so, we may get better value out of him by doing this, rather than trading him.
Thoughts? Insight? Does anybody know the answer?
depends on the size of the contract and the net gains/losses in free agency.
The formula is mostly based on gain vs. loss and the value of the contracts. They try to determine if a team took a big hit losing players vs. what they added in FA.
If he has a shit season he’s not going to get a good deal from any team. So if Parker signed say a one year deal with some team which seems to be a new thing with WRs that have questions about them, that would not have much effect on comp picks. Not sure if him being a former 1st rd pick has anything to do with it.
Thanks, Prof Lou and Tim.
That stated, I’m assuming we’re going to get a NICE compensatory pick for our loss of Suh, no?
Nope, we released him didn’t lose him to FA.
No way Tim Settle, DT, Virginia Tech stays where he is projected to go at this time. He’s definitely going to make a huge jump up the boards before the draft. The guy is just too dominant in the middle to drop to the 3rd or 4th rd. Only ? is the one year of production but if Vander Esch is being projected to go high with only one year then Settle should too.
Only two teams, per Walter, have met with him but it’s the Eagles and the Lions and that says enough for me.
Tim Knight says:

————
Come again? We couldn’t lose him to FA unless we released him, right?
what Tim means is his contract wasn’t up
^
Got ya, alright. But still… wouldn’t Suh have at least SOME kind of impact on our future comp picks?
M13, I don’t see us getting any comp picks in 2019 based on this offseason. I also don’t think the goal is to get a lot of them. That means you’re losing the FA battle every year. We’re trying to keep more guys. This year we tried to get out of some salary situations. We also made more trades to acquire players rather than FA.
Alright, so we WILL get decent compensation, being we lost Jarvis to FA?
Sorry, I hit enter too quickly. We traded Jarvis. My bad.
The 4th and 7th we got for Landry in the trade is what the team thought they would get for him in comp picks if he got the contract he’s looking for. The only difference is we get the 4th a year early this year and the 7th is next year.
Our FA losses were Thomas, Parkey and Hewitt. Moore has not been signed by a team yet. We signed Wilson, Amendola, Sitton, Young, Gore, Fales and Osweiler. That will be considered a gain on our part. If we let Landry walk, he might not have been enough to even get us a 4th and 7th.
BRO! This is where I disagree with ya, man. We selected Jarvis in the 2nd round, and he went on to set the ALL-TIME record for most receptions in one’s first 4 years… EVAH!!!
I STILL don’t like the (lack of) compensation we got for him… a mere 4th and a 7th???
I understand the problem of him wanting elite money, but I still feel like we got the bad end of the stick.
JMO… and it’s ALRIGHT to disagree!
Let him walk for nothing as a UFA vs. getting something for him in a trade, and chance getting no comp picks for him? What would you do? The team and Jarvis split ways and we did not want to pay him elite money. No team was giving up a lot of draft compensation and paying him elite money. If there was, that would be the trade.
I’m going to Vegas on Thursday
The combination of Damien Williams and Neville Hewitt may result in a 7th round comp pick next year.
Forgot Williams. I left Hayes off for us too.
Losing Thomas, Parkey, Williams and Hewitt vs. gaining Wilson, Amendola, Sitton, Young, Gore, Fales, Osweiler and Hayes? I say no comp picks for us. LOL
yep. ain’t getting shit
Notice the heavy change on offense.
We re-signed Hayes, man.
mf13ss says:
April 2, 2018 at 8:20 pm

Yes, for us too meant a gain for us.
Got ya, Tim!
I also got the weird ‘like my comment’ for a post on this site.
Still glad Pouncey is gone.
Have fun in Vegas Piggy. If you get thrown in jail call me I have a cousin on the Vegas Metro police force.
You know the Genesis song – Misunderstanding?
You know the lyric where he says
I rang your home But got no answer
So I jumped in my car and
LOVE anything Phil Collins and Genesis!!!
Oops let me finish
Jumped in my car and went around there
I still don’t believe it he was just leaving
Well that HE is me. I was he.
or this one:
I’m not a big “Disturbed” fan, but this song was SOLID, based on Phil Collins’ work…
yeah, that disturbed me
Most of our offseason moves were on offense which is what Gase wanted, he didn’t like the makeup of it. Just Quinn and Hayes on defense. To me that opens up the draft for BPA in at least the early rounds. Because we have a foundation to build on with the defense. That group has a lot of new players over the last two years. Not a lot of game time together that will start a new this year. Then you can start to target needs in the mid and late rounds.
M13, do you know early Genesis when they were more of an artsy rock band and less pop? If not check it out, really good musical movements. Their live album ‘Seconds Out’ was a huge influence for me learning how to play guitar. I jammed to that album in my teens hundreds of times.

The one advantage that comes with losing free agents during the offseason is that if you lose enough of them, the NFL eventually makes up for it with extra draft picks.
The league hands out compensatory picks every year and those picks were released on Friday. Although the exact formula the league uses to award picks hasn’t been released, we do know that it basically comes down to this: a team that loses more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.
Using that “formula,” the big winners this year were the Cowboys, Packers, Bengals and Raiders, who all received four extra picks. That means Jon Gruden is going to have some extra draft ammo to work with heading into April.
The Cowboys and Packers have actually become experts at acquiring compensatory picks. Since the league started handing them out in 1994, the Packers have been given 42, while the Cowboys have been given 41. Only the Ravens have been given more compensatory picks (49) over the past 24 years.
The Cardinals (3), Texans (3) and Vikings (2) were the only other teams that received multiple compensatory picks. The highest awarded pick went to the Cardinals, who were given the 97th overall selection in the draft for losing several free agents last year, including Calais Cambell, D.J. Swearinger and Tony Jefferson. –CBS
Are you really a “big winner” if you’re losing a lot of free agents?
No!

M13, do you know early Genesis when they were more of an artsy rock band and less pop? If not check it out, really good musical movements. Their live album ‘Seconds Out’ was a huge influence for me learning how to play guitar. I jammed to that album in my teens hundreds of times.
———–
Actually, no! I’ll dig deeper on early Genesis, thanks to your recommendation! 🙂
That’s when Peter Gabriel was the vocalist and also a showman in the way of playing different characters on stage.
I don’t get any email from Russian porn sites. But like I said elsewhere the other day, knowing Trump had sex with a porn star has totally ruined porn for me. I guess that proves there’s nothing those girls won’t do. 😂
I’m sick on the sofa. Been here almost all day. Missed work which never happens. I get all the way thru winter and now that the weather is getting better I get a massive cold. WTF? 🤧🤒
LOL
I meant at the trump remarks not your headcold.
FEEL Better soon!
Peter Gabriel had some interesting looks in his genesis days

That outfit needs a Sledgehammer
Lol
I’m laid up on the couch myself.
Went to the beach to watch the sunset and stepped on a bee in the sand, which stung me under the instep arch of my right foot. It was so swollen I could barely cram it into my shoe earlier.
3 fingers of whiskey later, I find the swelling to be a mere visual oddity.
That sucks and then LOL
I like this one….lol
Woohoo
Supposed to get 10″ to a foot of snow up here tonight thru tomorrow. I love spring!
LOL @ Piggy with the Gabriel pics.
A very unique musician, vocalist and artist.
That’s a good one too
If you think about it a lot of musicians in this late 70s early 80s we’re into crazy theatrics from all different genres
David Bowie and even Kiss
If some one tried those things now, everyone would laugh
Marilyn Manson pulled it off. Lady Gaga does it to some degree. There are others. At the end of the day the music has to be good.
A sleeper for me this season is Vincent Taylor. He’s 6-3 300 but has long arms almost 35″ and over 10″ hands. He’s a disruptive player who needs some polish on his overall game. Had 1 PD and two blocked FGs last season.
Godchaux had a solid rookie season and he’s a self-motivated player. Good motor.
Phillips is huge and talented but he has that lazy tag, yet he has played with Suh since he’s been a rookie. Maybe he becomes the vet presence by default.
We didn’t sign a vet DT other than Hayes being able to play DT in pass rush situations. I think we draft a DT at some point.
wtf DID YOU GUY’S SMOKE WHILE i WAS GONE???????????
THIS!!!

Fuck yeah!!!! Floyd rules!!!! David Gilmour is one of the best guitarists of all time in my book.
M13, though Roger Waters is politically known as a leftist and anti-Israel I still love his music. My B-I-L has a friend who stopped listening to Floyd because he feels Waters is anti-semitic even though he always loved the band. My B-I-L stated I don’t mix my music and politics. He taught me something that day. 🙂
YES!!! I LOVE this song as well, Tim!
This song was one of the very FIRST that featured analogue keyboard… it’s GRAND!!!
I would be in favor of trading down, gathering maybe a 3rd and 5th and taking the TE we covet the most before the run starts mid or late 1st and early 2nd rd which I think will happen. Every team wants one of those weapons at TE – mismatches. In reality one might be there at #42 but I could see two going 1st and two going early 2nd rd. Now we’re down to the 5th best guy unless we like him.
They get hurt a lot too. Even Gronk. So I’d be fine getting 2 TEs.
Just renovate the position.
I think Hurst and Gesicki could be the new Witten.
As of now at TE we have 2 converted QBs and a slow WR.
As in … we have nothing.
PS: Pink Floyd has some great music AND lyrics.
Saw Pink Floyd at RFK in 1994. 9th row center seats for the Fkying Animals tour. Awesome. But it was the Delicate Sound of Thunder Album that hooked me.
Tennis?
Field hockey
I like Pink Floyd, but Roger Waters can fuck himself with his anti-Israel and even possibly anti-semitic views.
Never listen to political opinions or advice from the court jesters.
I don’t listen personally, but I know it’s out there. He should just stick to his music, because he’s excellent at that
Pig en route to Las Vegas
No pants!
You can’t wear pants in Vegas.
What position does Pink Floyd play??
Pig, when do you get in? I’m currently right off of the strip, off of Sahara.
Do you wear pants?
Only off of the strip
I see you’re coming in on Thursday. Where are you staying?
The bellagio
I’ll be there Thursday through Sunday
Where the heck have you been?
I had to get away for a while. Let me know where you’ll be on Friday and I’ll meet you there. I get off around 2:30pm.
Sounds good Steve
I will send you an email at the email we have
Ok
