It won’t be a surprise when it happens. Teams announce well in advance and there will be months of build-up.
Those “hybrids” are pretty dope though. It’s a nice fusion of two eras.
Sorry, continuing the Galloway talk. I’m pretty sure it was a contract dispute and he held out for a large portion of the season before being traded to Dallas. As the holdout drug on, fans became increasingly frustrated. I remember seeing a custom 84 jersey that read “Go Away” on the...
Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll have to check a few out.
I’m sure I’ll get killed for this, but I actually enjoy Brock and Salk. Or, I guess, i tolerate Salk for the sake of Huard. I think he’s pretty dialed in and rationale on most fronts.
I used to listen to Joe Fan. Not sure...
McGwire. Mentioned a couple times already, but the coaching staff preferred Favre.
So, on top of being awful, Bash-Bro Bro cost us a HoFer.
Here’s a cool article from Sando on the topic:

If it were simply players, in absence of contracts, Fields might be the better get. But he's expensive this year, and prohibitively so if you want to keep him in '25. Howell, at $1M/per for the next two years makes so much more sense. Fields is a one-year guy wherever he goes
It depends on the expectations. So far as fielding a competitive team: I am cautiously optimistic. I believe the offense is an interior lineman or two from having well-above average potential, and I think the D looks significantly better with competent coordinators.
I understand the...
The math on the trade value crunches as follows:
Seattle gives: #78 - 200 points, and 152 - 31 points: Total 231
Washington gives #102 - 92 points, and 179 - 20 points: Total 112
Difference is 119 points, which equates to 95th or 96th overall pick (end of round 3)
I like the trade a lot. Young, serviceable, affordable back-up. Under contract for two more years. A year of NFL starting experience where he showed potential despite playing in a terrible situation. Fills a pressing need at QB2, and brings in a guy with decent upside. And all it costs...
I like Fields, but I don't think it pencil's out. Geno's probably the better starter right now (and we're financially committed for '24), and Fields is either a free agent next season, or you pay $25M for his fifth-year option.
Do those defensive numbers look off to anyone else? I really like PFF, but I'm having a hell of a time buying #10 in coverage or #15 D overall. Our pass D was top 1/3 last year? Really?
