    With the Cards starting a series with the Nationals, I think I can be happy with any outcome...especially since we're already 5 games up on the Cardinals in the L column. I was getting annoyed for that like day when the Nationals had a better record than us.

    It's also much, much easier to get to balls in front of you than balls over your head, playing dudes shallow seems to make little sense to me, but I await more learned gentlemen with more evidence to show how wrong I am. I actually found that not to be true. I'll admit that this is all anecdotal and playing CF in Iowa HS ain't exactly the NLC. But other than balls directly behind me, I found going back easier. I think it's that on a ball hit deep, it's a dead sprint until you get there. You either get there or the ball hits the fence. On shallow hits, there's a point at which you need to decide if you're going for it or pulling up and that hesitation felt like it cost me some range. And on almost every short ball, except gappers, you have to play conservative as a ball getting by you is a disaster. I don't know how to possibly measure that and I'll admit I could be totally wrong. But that was definitely my experience in about 100 games in high school OF. I think that's how Dexter felt, too, which is why he always played shallow and was resistant (even in ST this year) to playing deeper like the Cubs were asking him to.

    I might've had the wrong guy, but as long as the NFL tests for it, it matters. I think your mind would be blown knowing how many nfl prospects and players smoke weed. It does not bode anything for a career. Obviously a ton of them do. I was thinking of some guy who, rumors were, did nothing to quell teams' concern over it in his interviews (basically was defiant about it). It looks like I had the wrong guy. I don't follow this stuff too closely.

    When weed is that much of a priority for a guy, that does not bode well for an nfl career Dumb statement I might've had the wrong guy, but as long as the NFL tests for it, it matters.

    Fox teams have drafted two other pass rushers in the first round. Julius peppers and von miller.

    When weed is that much of a priority for a guy, that does not bode well for an nfl career What? Am I thinking of the right dude? Dude who left teams feeling no better about his weed issues in the draft interviews?

    PFF - Floyd was the No. 2 edge defender prospect in pass-rush productivity in 2015. He also graded positively in coverage and versus the run.

    Somebody give me an example of a good scouting report on Floyd

    Uh if it was need that would have been CB or DE over OLB. I think they just like him. I just am not sure if NY was a threat to take him or not. I believe NY wanted him bad

    Some of the writers are saying Bryant went for an MRI and it revealed a mild sprain. Others make it sound like Bryant is going for a precautionary MRI.

    Wavin' Wendell -- now that's a blast from the past! (TG) Rest in peace, just checked Wikipedia. Had no idea he assumed room temperature. he's probably waving in his grave as we speak. Believe he had early-onset Alzheimer's. Pretty sad.

    yes i just don't get as happy as i used to with just any win... i need a 3+ run win to feel as good as I'd normally feel with just a win. this team is going to win a ton of games. i want them to regularly obliterate teams.

    Is it weird that I'm more concerned with our run differential than our record?
