Many of you here didn’t really value the services of one Allen Hurns, and maybe I’m on the side of overrating him, but Hurns was on target to be the starter opposite DeVante Parker at least into training camp. If Preston Williams proved he was healthy and battle ready then it’s possible Hurns slipped down the depth chart as he was replaced by the younger, more explosive Williams. IN any case, Hurns was a veteran receiver with AFC experience and one that thrived playing opposite a very talented receiver in Allen Robinson in Jacksonville. Never as much of a big play threat as Robinson, Hurns was a steady, reliable , professional possession receiver. Albert Wilson looked like he was almost all the way back last season, especially towards the end of the season. The last 3 games he caught 17 passes which is nearly half of his season’s production of 41 receptions. He had the lowest YPC average of his career at 8.1 and only one TD but the hip injury that cut his 2019 season short really took its toll on the receiver as he finally worked his way back. I do recall seeing a couple of plays at the end of the year where his explosiveness resembled the player of 2019 where he was turning nothing into something big routinely.
Before the opt outs, I felt like we had a very strong WR room with serious depth and a nice mix of youth and veterans. Parker is 27, Wilson 28 and Allen Hurns 28, along with young up and comers like Preston Williams (23), Gary Jennings (23), Isaiah Ford (24), Malcolm Perry (23) and Jakeem Grant who is now 27. If Preston Williams is ready he takes Hurns spot on the outside opposite Parker. Which receiver or receivers get to thrive in the slot? Jakeem Grant will be in the running as will Gary Jennings and 7th RD draftee Malcolm Perry. Grant has the speed and explosiveness Wilson had but not the size, Grant (5’6 171) is about 25 lbs lighter and doesn’t have the run power to break tackles like Wilson did. Gary Jennings is a little less speedy and explosive but has good size at 6’1 216. Jennings ran a 4.42 at the combine and put up 20 reps so he has some upper body strength. Malcolm Perry is closest size wise and elusiveness to Wilson but doesn’t have the top speed that Wilson had. Perry ran 4.63 40 at the combine. If you watch Perry play though, he always looks fast enough and is a very slippery runner. The Dolphins signed Colts WR Chester Rogers to a 1YR deal which deepens the depth a little. Rogers caught 53 passes in 2018, just 16 last year playing behind WR Zach Pascal.
The biggest concern I have about our WR’s, or really any unit on our team is the depth. If we’ve learned anything by watching MLB, NBA or NHL in 2020 in the year of COVID-19 is that players drop like flies. One second they’re on the team and the next they’re on COVID-19 protocol. Add in the usual NFL injuries, especially considering this year with a huge lack of practices and no preseason games and you will likely see how important good depth will be. I’d even question whether the league will be able to play a full season. We’re going to have to count on a bunch of our deeper depth players this season and I hope we get them all ready for action. When Chan Gailey was with the Jets in 2015-2016, he utilized Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker mostly, with a decent amount of passing to the RB’s Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell. In 2016 Decker was gone after 3 games and replaced by Quincy Enunwa and the offense didn’t really feature a slot WR much. Robby Anderson provided the deep threat on the outside and again, the RB’s, now Matt Forte and Bilal Powell caught a bunch of passes. Jordan Howard isn’t much of a pass catcher but Matt Breida is a good receiver out of the backfield who was stifled by playing time in a 3 headed attack in SF with Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman and also CJ Beathard. Malcolm Perry may also get some use out of the backfield and Kalen Ballage was thought to be a good receiver although he didn’t get to show any of those skills here in MIA. Patrick Laird and Kenyan Drake caught the most passes at RB. In any case, one thing we’ll probably have to get used to in 2020 is NEXT MAN UP . . .

OD, I think the Islanders/Flyers matchup is a good one. Either team could win this series. The Isles are playing better 5 on 5 hockey at the moment but both teams have 4 line depth and good goal tending. It should be fun.
OD.
I have no emotion for anyone in the west in Hockey except a minor dislike of Vancouver and would not mind seeing Vegas win …
In the East , I HATE Boston, Love Tampa, don’t mind the Flyers , and as I said to someone last week , I recognized 1 name on Islanders other than Trotz who hails from Dauphin MB.
So. Tampa Vegas final would be cool

D – That ZT video was hilarious!
Steve – Thanks for that BLM video (PragerU), that was great. It’s basically how I feel, and I was surprised that he only glanced over the crime issues in the inner cities, the fact that blacks are killing each other by the thousands, much more than whites and police are killing blacks, it’s not even close. Fix the problems in the inner cities first, because BLM has no desire to do any of that, they’re just white shaming and destroying police.

Generally those that want to be emancipated while young teens end up moving back in as young adults. She seems like the typical brain washed teen.
Ever watch any videos with these socialist college kids? They have no idea what they’re talking about, they just say what they’ve been told. How can the constitution be a great document when its filled with racism?
Not sure exactly what she will do, but oh man is she a teenage girl. And her parents are rich and assume don’t beat or molest her. If that was in play would be different. Politics shouldn’t be enough.

Titans released rookie QB Cole McDonald in order to have a vet backup in Trevor Simien who they just signed.
McDonald decided to forgo his final year of eligibility to enter the draft, and the Hawaii product recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time of any quarterback at the NFL combine. During his final two seasons at Hawaii, McDonald threw for 8,010 yards, 69 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. He also rushed for 11 touchdowns over that span.
I know we don’t have a need there though.
He’d be a great option, option! 😉
But we already have one of those!!!!!
BBM & wyoming — you guys should join the board’s FF league. You already know more players than anyone. 🙂 Plenty of spots.
Bold prediction, Grant is going to perform like Tyreek Hill 😁
Now that would be something. Our offense would be pretty damn hard to stop
I can’t get over the Grant video where he’s in shorts making cuts around cones and running routes, combined with talking snack to Parker.
With Davis manning the RT tackle spot it opens up debate about when Tua might start. Unless Hunt is lighting it up I’m pretty sure they’d rather have Tua’s blindspot covered by a vet, and Davis was playing his best ball at the end of last season.
Bold prediction #2 Preston will play like Michael Thomas.
I just don’t get it. Wagner yes, still playing Trout no.
———————————
An autographed Mike Trout rookie card sold for $3.93 million on Saturday, making it the highest-price trading card in history.
The one-of-a-kind 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Prospects Superfractor card was sold by Goldin Auctions online. The price tops the previous record of $3.12 million paid for a 1909 Honus Wagner T-206 card in 2016.
That’s amazing particularly for an active player, he isn’t even in the hall yet.
That’s crazy. Imagine if he never played again, that card just fell off a cliff in value.
I’m guessing that “The one-of-a-kind 2009 Bowman” rookie card was made just for this. Why make only one? And sure every rook had only one made for him that year.
I miss baseball, I can’t watch any other team play but the Mets, but I miss being able to flick on the game on any given night of the week. Sucks!
I was watching Fox News earlier today and they were talking about what Trump has to do in the RNC, how he needs to get voters back. They were saying the MAGA thing isn’t going to cut it, he has to appear more human, more caring, more friendly. I actually laughed out loud because how the fuck is he going to do that while having anyone believe he’s being genuine? He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself and I think he should just be himself. He’s not going to win over any Democrats so he may as well continue being the asshole he is and keep his base happy.
The freaky thing about the hurricanes is that they are back to back headed to same spot. They have it tracked this way too but I think they should remain kinda weak. Button it down Wy.
Is it heading for Texas? I haven’t been following. Krishna is also in Texas
krishna is up near Austin
Where is the storm headed?
Josh Rosen may be the best QB we have, he definitely has the strongest arm.
Hurricane Omar is coming and will be devastating!
Is Miami going to get Earl Thomas? I know MF-13 would be thrilled!
If we could get him on the cheap, and without hindering the progress of the younglings, I’d be on it. I think he’d be a decent mentor for the young bucks, but we don’t want to mire ourselves with big buck$ to an aging vet.
We’ll see what happens. I understandably doubt it, but who knows? Thanks, my buddy O-Rob.
Younglings? Yoda back on the blog? 😂
How the fuck would Earl Thomas be a good mentor? He is getting cut after one year and $22 M because he was poison. He freelanced, was late or didn’t show up for position meetings, and generally had a bad attitude. His teammates wanted him gone. Because he was an ass. The Seahawks let him go because he was all about himself. He is a prima Donna – Why would anyone think he had value as a mentor or that a young team would want him?
I agree, he is a great player, but a horrible team cancer. Players hated him on the Raven they said. Nothing about that situation says to me we could bring him here and it would be a positive.
He’s been with the seahags since 2010, if he was that bad you’d think they would have let him go, are you speculating that Thomas was a bad teammate with Sea?
As for the Ravens there’s two sides to every story.
not sure if he’s poison or not however he’s a great player that would fill a position of need. can you imagine our secondary with him x and jones? move Mcain back to the slot.
Mike E
The answer is my house! Laura and I have a date Wednesday night!
Well, I hope that date is cancelled!
Laura is more headed towards the border of LA and TX, and think if it hasn’t already happened, its more New Oleans/Biloxi, similar landfall prediction as Katrina for Marco, somewhere on the Lousiana/Mississippi line..
Hmm looks like Marco is bending too towards New Orleans, but its kinda weak now. We are getting rain from it but not much else.
I don’t think these storms will be that bad for any of you, stay safe still.
Hey Wyoming, i hear she gives a good blow job.
I’m planning to “stand” tall, and not let her “beat” me! 😉

It’s not the Fins fault your Governor has you in lock-down!!!!!!!
I can’t really argue with that. I think it should be uniform, either every team can have fans or none of them.
Not the Fins problem!
Cry to the Governor!
It’s not the Dolphins problem but it should be an NFL problem. This is a league built on parity and fairness. Having some teams with fans in the stadiums and others that can’t doesn’t fit that model. MLB has done it right, no fans period.
hurricane Omar will be a bad storm!

All Buffalo has to do is make a good plan, then implement it!
Just stop crying and go to work on a solution!
Obviously Monday to them isn’t the same thing as Monday to us.
Well when you work Sunday’s, Mondays aren’t near as special! 😉
When you’re 20 something coming off an injury, have something to prove and you’re kicking ass in camp, every day is like Sunday.
Sounds to me the Bills are looking for something to bitch about or they are loading up an excuse. It shouldnt be a big deal. I mean to me psycologically, having no fans would be a sign of the times, only having a few would just seem like no one turned out lol, id probably prefer the no fans, personally.
Does having 20K fans really matter? How much noise can they make?

I’m taking this one!
You can have the next one! 😉
Wyo – I’m not defending Buffalo necessarily, just that I think the NFL should have a plan in place that if some teams because of their locations can’t have fans, then either work to make it so they can, and if you can’t accomplish that, then no teams can have fans. Just my thought
I didn’t mean to come of as a dick!
But life isn’t fair!
Maybe we can get the teams with no fans a participation trophy? 😉
LOL – Maybe so. It’s just the league is built on fairness, in complete contrast to MLB where some teams can spend $40M on their roster while others $300M
ORob – I was not speculating that Thomas was a bad teammate and prima donna with the Seahawks. Have you forgotten the bird as he was being carted off the field? All of the acrimony that proceeded it. Hawks dumped him because his talent no longer offset the hassle of having him on their team. Ravens just did the same. He is not a great player anymore. He may have been in the beginning few years but that Seattle defense was loaded so it is hard to tell if it was individual talents or just a serendipitous combination of players. None of them went to other teams and shined. Sherman has had the most success but he has never reached the level that he had in Seattle.
$10 word ^
Only $9.75. Would have needed ‘ly’ on the end to make it $10.
OK, all i’ve ever heard was great things about him, i don’t keep up with him though, he was pretty good with the ravens last year.
He is still better than half the safeties in the league probably, just out of pure instincts and god given ability, but father time has caught up to him, some of those hard hits are bringing injuries now and overall he just isnt as able as he use to be. Still good, but i wouldnt call him elite anymore.
Also, its been probably past 4-5 years now he has just been a sour dude. Flipping off the fans in Seattle, demanding trades to other NFC teams, thinking his shit dont stink and alienating his teammates, and now a suckerpunch on a teammate that got him kicked off the team, but sounds like it was just the last straw.
At this point with Thomas, we would be just as good bringing Jones back to be that mentor at Thomas. Jones probably has a little left in the tank too, vs Thomas who has never been right since that hit on Gronk tht basically put both of them out for the rest of the year.
Oh and im not suggesting bringing Jones back gfor real, i just was making a point that we would bne better off with Jones than Thomas.
cant find my thesaurus?
ORob – Yah, I only hear as much about him as I do because the Ravens are one of the two local teams where I live. He is not loved.
What i heard was he was at the beginning, a lot of people loved the idea of Thomas there because he relates to how they like their safeties to play, but that after coming over and talking a bunch of stuff about how this was the perfect fit for him, he went full titty bitch. One of the guys at work is a BIG ravens fan and he was happy as fuck when the deal happened, but not just a little bit into the season.
Wyoming, you closer to Beaumont or Orange? or just south of there near the ports?

Yeah you are looking at taking on stright up the pipe. I use to pass by that way ALOT back in the day when my buddy lived in Houston and i was in Baton Rouge. Shit floods around that area pretty bad, which to me is usually the worst thing to have to worry about with storms this size.
D
I’m next to Sabine lake, so I don’t have a flooding issue at the house.
Just makes it hard to get in and out!
Storm surge will wreck my place though!
I wonder, if the team was just putting out a smokescrean on Tua’s play the first week of pads. The first day was how great he looked, then it was all QBs not looking so good.
Maybe they wanted to dial it back a bit, so that the fans won’t be urging them to start Tua game 1, not that they do what the fans say, but create a more realistic expectation.
Earl Thomas is typical of a lot of sports figures, and another example of never satisfied premadonas. When their play doesn’t stay at the level of we’ll do anything to keep you playing, then they’re shown the door.
As long as I don’t hear…was Carter off the field I’ll take it as day to day until they tell us otherwise.
Good find getting him out of UDFA last year, the guy plays his butt off and looks to me like a really solid depth guy with occasional rotation and potential starts.
100% effort guy all the time. I guess when you can’t get by on talent alone and have a giant heart…
His story kills me, but have to give Flo credit, for sticking with him.
He was so bad last year in preseason, that I just wanted him gone ASAP.

Preston says he’s learning more positions in this offense. Calls it simpler. Offensive is unique, he says. Compared his body type to Brandon Marshal who of course had a big year in 2015 with Chan Gailey.
If Williams doesn’t work out it won’t be cause he doesn’t have the right mindset. Interesting that the O gives WRs more time to get open. That works with both Fitz and Tua so long as the OL holds up.
Besides the injuries, the theme of the day seems to be fire up the fans, but no telling what’s really going on.
It’s working. Reading these updates has me pumped and ready for the season.
Shit i didnt realize Walt was still out there on the Skreets.
I think with Needham, i always considered the fact he was a fill in and in a year where we were basically full year auditioning for future roles i felt like he probably had secured on by the time the season ended. I didn’t think this camp he went in as a bubble guy, i felt like he might could lose his spot if someone else just really balled out, and the fact we took two DB’s kinda early, game me pause, but i think the dude obviously deserves to be on the inside looking out, instead of vice versa. Also, coach Flo wasnt those type guys on the team, so if we keep 10 DB’s, im thinking he is definitely one of those 10, along with X, Jones, Jones, Igmahogany, Rowe and McCain. Probably Fejedelum, and Frazier are in as well because of their ST play.
Leaves one spot for some guys im kinda pulling for, like Picasso Nelson Jr, who is from Southern Miss, just down the road from me, and also, i mean how can ya not love that name. Picasso has his receiver boxed in. Or if you prefer a more elaborate metaphor, Picasso’s cobverage has the QB as confused as an art neophyte putting meaning to a cubist composition.
Seriously though, there probably is like one spot and probably 3 guys fighting for it. Maybe we brong in another vet when cuts happen and kick all three to PS.
Cool little addition that will make the game day experience better.

New walk through metal detectors have been installed to allow fans to keep all items in their pockets for faster entry.
Wonder if they are like the ding dong sizers they have at the airports which let them see past the layer of clothing and get a full contour of the body. “Sure is cold in here today…..ehem…..”
If someone checks out the contour of my package…. well then will he the one-thousandth time dude or girl has done that that day. Am sure they get bored after a while.
Depends on if your average in that scale, if your on the high end or low end, you probably make their afternoon discussion.
They won’t be AIT – You leave something in your pocket and they alarm. plus they are slower than metal detectors. Not sure what kind of metal detectors allow you to keep stuff in your pockets. You are either detecting metal or you’re not.
You are the expert on this stuff. Something is different though. Could “metal detector” been the wrong way to describe? Pretty sure keys stay in pockets though….. that would be hard to get wrong.

Damn Wyoming, it looks like Marco might be petering out right about where you are about the same time that Laura comes for her visit. Starting to remind me of that movie “Perfect Storm”
I guess its called the Fujiwhara effect, but thats usually if they are cyclonic formed, ie in the stage of a hurricane with an eye and int hat case they can merge and become stronger, but this looks like you are just gonna get a deluge.
I can tell you from experience, you do get a little bored with titties once you have seen a few thousand mammograms, again, only if you are really average on that scale, the ones where they have to take 3 shots of each boob just to capture all of it, you tend to remember those. Or the ones that are excessively, and i mean excessively lop sided, maybe the ones that have 2 inch nipples or some other odd characteristic.
I actually have gotten pretty good at guessing age and weight just from looking at a mammogram. Every once and a while you get a grandma who got a boob job earlier in life and you get thrown a curve, but you can see the implant so at least you know this one is going to be a toughie.

———————————————————
From other stuff i have read about his flexibility with the WR’s it stems more from the fact that he will let them improvise on their routes and really only expects them to be at a certain place at a certain time, allowing them some flexibility on how they run it. I dont know that it gives them more time to get open, just more ways to get open, lets them bypass standard routes to confuse the DB’s.
Just going off what Preston said: “Getting open is the number one job. Says Gailey gives his WRs more time to work the DB and get open.”
I was going off what Gailey has said previously about route flexibility, and im sure timing is important, because thats what the QB’s will be looking at when they go through their read progressions, who looks like they will be open when they are supposed to be.
So what are you thinking has changed? Maybe less pure timing patterns with short windows?
Steve i think the thing with Needham is that true, some players have all the gifts but they dont have the heart so they inexplicably fail when they have no business failing, some underrated players have limits to their ceiling but they let themselves buy into that and dont try to over come it with effort and then you have the two middle groups, the limited gifts, but huge heart guys who succeed even when they aren’t supposed to, and the humble super start who goes on to have a monster career because ion top of the gifts, they are thankful for them and they work their butts off to stack skill with heart.
That last one is becoming a unicorn these days, and in its place are those guys who bust ass to make their way. I think Flo and Co. are activley seeking for those guys, but grabbing the unicorns as they come across them. I think though if they had their druthers they would rather have a team full of Nick Needhams vs OJB’s, Zeke’s, or Jamal Adam’s.
Not too worried about the injuries in practice today. It should be expected some people will get banged up, but I like the very physical approach we’re taking. In a shortened offseason with no live preseason games, we need to ramp it up in order to be ready. I assume in the next week or two, we’ll play a long scrimmage game D vs O with live tackling as well.
I’m surprised to see the Bills coach publicly make a big deal over some games being in stadiums with 20-30%% capacity vs none. That presents weakness IMO. If you are that worried about having to play in front of reduced crowds on the road, what are you saying about your team and players?
We’ve seen low capacity stadiums before, and at 20% the crowd isn’t going to impact the game like a full stadium does.
Also, I disagree with the level playing field take on some fans vs no fans. It’s not the NFL saying to the Bills ‘you can’t have fans’. Why should fans in other states not be allowed in their stadiums because New York chooses to be more protective?
I look at it more like different weather in different states. The NFL can’t control that, and doesn’t say we’ll only play when the weather is the same no matter where you play. Maybe not a perfect analogy, but I see it as more about having to play the hand your location/state deals.
Weather is a good analogy.
I think it’s different because they knew before the season starts that some states will allow crowds and others won’t. They knew this well in advance so they could have made decision to just not allow fans. I don’t think it’s a huge difference to have a 1/3 of the fans in the stadium but considering the NFL does everything they can to make it a level playing field you would think this is one thing they would have made sure was even across the board.
I hear ya, Mike, and I’m not saying you’re wrong, I just disagree. I don’t think it’s up to the NFL to restrict some teams to level things out when you’re talking about a negligible difference. If we were talking full stadiums to empty ones, I might be more inclined to agree, but 20%? We’ll barely know they’re there.
And by November or December, maybe some of these more restrictive states will allow fans, and teams like the Jills can stop crying 😉
I can see D with a booth at a carnival where he can guess your age by looking at and feeling your boobs
LOL
I think how far we go this year will be determined by how well our offensive line comes together. Our D should be vastly improved without question, and we’ve got the skill players on offense to be a force. If our oline is decent, I could see us being a legitimate contender for the division title.
I disagree. I think it all comes down to us being allowed to have 14k fans at home games vs 13K. I mean can’t we just get those extra thousand in, so on 3rd and 10 the QB won’t be able to hear and we’ll get a stop 🤔
Stanger – Metal detector could be the wrong way to name it, but i can’t believe they would be using any kind of imaging technology over metal detectors. One because they are expensive – $175K+ for AIT vs. $1,000-$5000 for WTMD. Two privacy concerns – TSA went through hell early on because people were afraid officers were sitting in a room ogling images. And three, health concerns – some people think their babies will have three eyes if they go through one.
Walk throughs though can only detect metal – not what it is. if they are are saying you can leave your keys in pocket, they would have to make the settings less sensitive and hope you were only carrying keys. A Glock 42 or 43 probably has about as much metal as most people have on their key chain.
Not to mention with 3D pruners you can just print a carbon fiber one. No metal at all.
Phelon — I’m not the one who said it….. Dolphins did. They at least have some new system. Or maybe they are just faking they do and letting people walk right in. Have no clue.
This is what you bastards voting for Biden are voting for:
https://www.foxbusiness.com/money/biden-to-raise-taxes-400000-per-year
He’s so full of shit, saying he’s going to raise taxes on 400k + is a pipe dream. We’ll all be paying more taxes, count on it.
What did they tell us in Cali when the 89 earthquake hit SF? We need to temp raise the sales tax to pay for it. Still waiting for that temp tax to go away.
I meant to say he’s a lyin, dog faced pony soldier.
My guess is Biden will raise taxes on more than just the $400k crew, but I’m cool with that part at least. Really disliked the structure of the Trump tax cut. Should have gone straight to the middle class.

Yeah ill squish them in this direction and then push them down in that direction, add in a couple of my own s[ecial squeezes for good measure. They will probably be like, but i thought mamograms used xray equipment, by then though my cover has been blown and im out, until i retun later for the next person in line.
I’m cracking up with the image of a line of couples and all the dudes paying for you to feel their gals’ tits and ‘guess their age’. lmao
(And if I had worked race into that image, my statement could have been outdated stereotypes, sexist-misogynist, and racist all in one, lol.)
Its probably just as easy to go with a Dr Rosen Rosen scam and talk about the old war wound i have that severed the nerve in my right hand, get a pity squeeze.
Just read this from Wingfield. Pretty cool.
The Dolphins selected three offensive linemen in the top 111 picks of the 2020 NFL Draft. Austin Jackson from USC, Robert Hunt from Louisiana Lafayette and Solomon Kindley from Georgia are embracing the grind of their first camp. Kindley, Miami’s fourth-round pick, said the trio developed a relationship back in February.
“Austin said the other day, ‘could you all imagine all three of us would have been at the Miami Dolphins at the Combine?’ Because at the Combine, they split us up into groups and I was like No. 28, Austin was like No. 30 and Rob (Hunt) was like No. 25; and we were all with each other the whole Combine,” Kindley said. “Those are my boys. I’m glad to be with them.”
One thing i kept hearing about Hunt was he was from a small school. Louisiana Lafayette is division 1, so i dont get the small school knock, they are sun belt and they are a pretty solid team. I think he has a decent chance of beating out Davis for RT.
Disney put those types of detectors in, says no need to remove keys and phone so I walk through and beep beep beep. Guess what, I had to take my keys and phone out to be handheld scanned. Go figure.
Incidentally with reduced crowds at the parks the lines for rides were nothing and you weren’t shoulder to shoulder with people all day as you walk around. All day mask though.
Sounds like heaven, i could give a shit if i had to wear the mask 24/7 if it avoided the crowds. Are the tickets really discounted right now?
I imagine its balls hot down there right now though as well. Doesn’t start cooling off in that area until like October
Malcolm played that ball perfectly, Tua under-threw it a little, Perry adjusted to the ball and shielded the defender from being able to make the play by letting it drop over his shoulder instead of turning back for the ball. If he had turned back that was either going to be a PD/INT/or a really difficult contested reception.
Actually when I went back and read other descriptions of that throw, it looks like they said it was into a strong wind so that might have been why it hung up there a little. Either way, that adjustment by Perry is exactly how that is supposed to be played in that scenario.
D, yes it’s blazing hot. I don’t know about discounted tickets we’re using up four day passes we got right before covid. My kids sign us up to get in. Going 2 more times in September then done.
“Malcolm is an interesting guy, having played quarterback in the option and he’s got some good quickness. He’s got a feel for the game. He’s played tag growing up. He knows how to make people miss and make them get out of the way.”
— Chan Gailey on Malcolm Perry
“He’s got good quickness. He’s got good hands. He’s an instinctive player. He’s just got a good feel for the game. He’s doing a good job. He loves to play, loves to compete. There’s a lot of things we like about him.”
— Brian Flores on Malcolm Perry
lol at playing tag when growing up
“He’s played tag growing up?!”

Stangerx….almost went to Sway (thai cuisine) for happy hour. They have a jungle curry with Wagyu beef and provide a dollop of a whipped coconut milk to “cut” the BTUs of the spice. It’s not a separate dish like raita which is usually a cucumber yogurt side.
It’s the only way I can get through this particular entree. It’s amazing how it “cools” off the dish.
Just wanted to be clear. And, look forward to the next fest if not before or weekend of 10/15. Can’t wait to hear the story of the rugby player brought to his knees by a plant. Lol….
Bobby Mc looks like Bob Sanders.
Gesicki over Rowe, he’s just too big.
