  1. He may not have a cannon, but he's quick (feet and release) and the footwork is good enough that I don't see a reason from that clip to think he can't play 3rd.
  2. Yeah, I think this is something that he'll absolutely consider. The Dodgers track record with arms of late is really, really bad in terms of health.
  3. I'd be willing to bet these are both dead on. It's been obvious for a while that DJ wasn't giving full effort and that seems to be very tied to the way he was being used and the amount of balls not coming his and not even designed to be coming his way.
  4. Unless this is coming from a "please don't get Caleb killed in his rookie season because the line is so bad" kind of place, this is dumb and bad.
  5. I think the big difference here is that the players on offense, specifically the WR, had essentially stopped trying with Waldron in charge. The difference in performance between a half hearted 80% effort and an all out 100% effort in the NFL is night and day. Hopefully this helps, though I have very little belief it will.
  6. Maybe now that Waldron is gone the WRs will actually run a route hard so Caleb has someone to throw to. Bums. All of 'em.
  7. Maybe they just mean for week 11.
  8. Orlovsky went through a lot of the problems in a breakdown after last week's game. A lot of route combos that don't make sense together, too many receivers in one area of the field, and some other disjointed stuff.
  9. That whole series set a tone for the rest of the game. They got mugged constantly with no calls and it really affected them pretty badly.
  10. Sweet. We're getting Tucker. 🤣
  11. Travis d'Arnaud just had his option declined by the Braves. No idea how the defense is but he's not an offensive black hole.
  12. Does it appear that Allen is the first option on a majority of the pass plays or am I imagining things?
  13. https://x.com/MaxMarkhamNFL/status/1853470183748403699 “Has Matt Eberflus lost this football team?” Team Captain DJ Moore: “I won’t say no.”
  14. You have to do that though. It's money that WILL be spent and WILL count against the CBT. Not counting it just to say the number is higher is a false pretense that you absolutely can't operate on.
  15. The thing you're not compensating for is the salary paid to players on the active roster while someone else is on the IL. As TT said, it equated to about 10 players worth of salary for the season, so you have to figure in probably $8 million minimum for that plus the $3million for Tauchmann and that gets your number to the $53 million everyone else is talking about.
  16. In the grand scheme of things I tend to agree with this, but when we've seen consistent issues with the process and managing the game from the HC and the things we're seeing are being called out by announcers and fans alike in real time, that where I think the coaching staff makes a difference. Things like not getting up the refs ass for head shots on Fields the last 2 years or about the DBs manhandling receivers early yesterday, not having conversations about different things the refs are looking at closely (the Lewis false start yesterday), and just generally not having a good process for reviews/challenges are all process things that anyone who's decent at managing anything can see are problems.
  17. I bet Arizona yesterday because I was so confident Eberflus had completely botched the handling of last week's debacle. He's lost the locker room and there's no coming back from it at this point with all the offensive line injuries. 5-12 is going to be neat.
  18. I assume you mean Soto?
  19. Like an hour after I posted that they declined options on Lynn, Gibson and someone else so they really are slashing everything. Lots of speculation around here about whether or not they dump Gray, Contreras and Arenado too. Just crazy.
  20. There isn't one. That's just for Cubs transactions.
  21. Apparently Waldron just doubled down on handing off to Kramer in that situation and said he'd do it again. I just can't fathom the stupidity of this administration.
  22. On the heels of Giddey shooting 100% from 3.
  23. The Cards actually hold team options on Lynn and Gibson and I'd bet they pick up Gibson's option.
  24. I think the overreaction from people, me included, is that this loss reinforced a lot of the things we thought were bad about the coaching staff even during the 3 game winning streak. There's a real chance this season goes Trestman on us if Flus doesn't handle the rest of this week well and win this weekend.
  25. The Yankees signing a right handed 1B they want to hit HRs would be a very, very dumb move. 99% chance their starting 1B next year hits LH.
