    Rashaad Penny visits Seattle

    Thanks, I knew Carolina had issues, but didn't know their personnel at RB. Well, Penny and his agent rolled the dice on Carolina, maybe they feel he's healthy and can win a competition or just get good reps as RB2 or get reps via other guys getting injured. Rotsa ruck!

    Rashaad Penny visits Seattle

    Wishing Penny some luck. Makes sense for Penny, sign with the team where he's got the best shot. Penny would be limited to being K9's backup here. K9 has been everything that Penny coulda, shoulda been if he could stay healthy, different styles though.

    Chevan Cordeiro

    Or "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman"? KING-TV was the first station to pick up that show, after all. I couldn't find a scouting report on Mary and her arm strength. As long as Chevan doesn't drown in a bowl of chicken soup at the VMAC cafeteria, he's got a shot.

    Who said this year is a team rebuild ?

    I'd narrow it down to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are Shanahan's Kryptonite. Shanahan's part in the 28-3 debacle had too many co-conspirators to pin the whole thing on him. Now, I am looking forward to adding MikeMac to that Kryptonite list.

    Rashaad Penny visits Seattle

    It was baffling that Penny got so few reps in Philly. All I can come up with is injuries, perhaps he didn't have his Warp-Speed burst, or just never got healthy enough to be the Penny of 2021 and win reps in the competition. In the 4th quarter against a tired defense, Penny is (was) positively...

    Who said this year is a team rebuild ?

    There was also Addition-By-Subtraction. Overpaid, underperforming, or "Mr. Business Decision" players were jettisoned. Love Will Dissly, but we overpaid his ass. He's now on a fair contract. QDiggs--gone. JAdams--gone. JBrooks--gone, I liked Brooks, but let somebody else overpay him...

    Rashaad Penny visits Seattle

    I watched Rashaad Penny's career highlights, trying to get a better sense of his style. I see different things than you. If only Penny could have stayed consistently healthy--the talent is there. Definitely not a miss on talent, only availability. On his best runs, Penny has a great sense...

    Best draft in years

    So totally THIS. I was watching Howell in several highlight packages over the season, and thought, wow, Washington got a QB who is developing nicely! I don't think we can conclude a whole bunch about Howell from his time in Washington, other than he can be a decent NFL QB, and he was limited by...

    Best draft in years

    Howell doesn't have to be "The Answer". He just has to be our "Tyler Huntley" or "Drew Lock" for a couple seasons, filling in when Geno is unable to go, and starting a few games and going .500 in those games. Anything more is gravy. Lock's win over the Eagles last season was a Seahawks...

    Post UDFA's here

    In my weekly call with JS, he let it slip the Hawks are reviewing the pensions of the scouts responsible for the egregious error of failing to at least give you a camp invite. The scouts are arguing that while they liked your play, with all the sacrifice-the-body tackles, it would have simply...

    Y'know, we're just sitting here waiting for a breakdown of some of your top middle school plays! I shared one of mine, it's your turn. Go ahead, rub the Hawks draft scouts noses in what they missed out on. So far, the only slogan that's been shared with me for 44 Boz to create your "Ban the...

    The snow-capped Mission Mountains in the background... it was a beautiful, scenic place to play football. As best as I can recall, it would have been Fall of '76, 8th grade for me. I was class of 81. Ronan took the opening kickoff and scored in 3 plays. IIRC they were class AA (1500...

    I'm in contact with Brian Bosworth to get the T-Shirt presses fired up. 44Boz Inc. just needs the slogan and design and they're ready to go. Ban the Boz, er, Spo?

    Post UDFA's here

    Darn right, I played middle school ball in the late 70s, RB, I was the second coming of OJ, and never even got a call! I once had two long TD runs vs. Ronan! You try outrunning those Flathead Indians, they're fast sonofaguns!! The only difference between the legend Al Bundy and me is that my...

    Rounds 4-7

    Agreed, I don't see Rattler doing much in the NFL other than a good backup. The Rams picked up Georgia QB Stetson Bennett last year, who was magnificent in College and should be a good backup, except that the Rams went and got Jimmy Garoppolo as insurance for Matthew Stafford. Better to use...
