    Defense is playing without what most people would probably say were its two best players in preseason. And there may be some crow to eat on King as well. He'll have to stay in the field though which has been the issue for him most of the time. Starting to look pretty good though heading into poor weather season. I wonder when we'll see Bhaktiari, but the good news is we may see all 3 of them again this year which is fantastic.

    A timeout? Seriously Pete?
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    Don't ejected players have to leave the field? And why are they still trying to score?

    Packers are clearly looking like the frontrunner, yes? They have a blowout week 1 loss and a loss at Arrowhead with a backup QB. Beat AZ on the road without a bunch of guys. And they are doing this without a LOT of good players. Defense is really looking strong. I guess the Rams are the other one but I can't think of anyone else.

    It's too early to care but the current first round Buccaneers-Rams matchup would be a dream come true.

    See, Matt. You can do with AJ.

    This game has been hard to watch. I've been on my phone the whole time and just glance up and see where the ball is.

    A certain CB known as every Packer fan's favorite whipping boy has looked pretty good for the last 6 quarters.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    He has long haul brain fog

    I don't know what Pitt was doing on the play they fumbled. There's a chance, a likely one, if he doesn't fumble that the clock just expires anyway. The playcalls after getting to the 50 were strange.

    Steelers lol. Wow. I haven't turned on the Packers because this one was so comical. Well the Lions won't be 0-17.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    Kicking game is an enormous concern and I don't know if it's the kicker or the unit just not on the same page.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    I really wanted us to draft Metcalf a couple years ago.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    The low-hanging fruit of MLB personnel. Firing hitting coaches keeps the casual but vocal fans off a team's back for awhile, so the turnover is pretty huge. Makes one think a hitting coach might be...pretty useless.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    They've been doing a ton of restructuring of random players lately.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    We are always linked to these types of guys and I don't know if we've signed a single one of them.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    No, there have been plenty of QBs who have done great things at the college level, but had questions about their size, thowing motion, injury history, etc that caused questions about their ability to succeed at the next level. Yeah that was my point. Most of those things aren't recognizable if game footage is the only tool at your disposal. If I have a system QB that runs constantly like Tebow or something, his game film doesn't show me what happens when he has to hit a WR between the numbers 30 yards down the field.

    I'm sure the nostalgia of NYC is cool for him but it's really about resources. I can't fault him at all for wanting the Mets to bankroll his roster.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    I am just saying that none of the evaluation tools are really all that great on their own. Even all together there are still tons of whiffs; it is just a really hard thing to do and a HUGE pool of players. Once you've seen the last couple games of a player's career is there really much more to get from film? If I watch 40 hours is that really better than 5? Especially when they're not playing in NFL schemes. So I can see why draft stock fluctuates a lot from end of season to draft...some guys go from 3rd round projections to undrafted and vice versa.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah that's an excellent point.

    About 2 years ago my brother (software engineer) had an interview with the Brewers for a position he ultimately didn't get. He met with Will Hudgins, the VP of Baseball Product & Strategy, though he was something lower at the time. At one point my brother asked for an example of a project, to which he replied "Well this team is directly responsible for player acquisition, so we don't really discuss the specifics of what we do in interviews." Ultimately, the buck stops with Stearns when it comes to the roster, but I'd guess that the bulk of prospective targets are sent up the chain to him by other folks. I just can't see this being a one-man show with how limited the resources are.

    I tend to believe these things are more systemic than based on a single person. The systems are in place to be "sustainably competitive" with or without DS. I think the GM has more ability to mess it all up than he is responsible for its success. The replacement they have in the wings will probably do just fine. It's hiring Hawk Harrelson or something that can send the whole thing sideways.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Nothing matters until then anyway. The Bulls can win the division for all I care. Anybody think the Bulls are taking out the Bucks in the playoffs?

    I don't know how useful hours of game footage of college football actually are even though they obviously pour over them. Wouldn't the Heisman guy always be #1 overall if that were the case? They are nearly two different sports. In a workout you can get a better idea of asking a player to do things he'll need to do in the NFL. Of course neither one is really a great evaluation because it's a world of difference with no defense, no crowd, etc. But in the individual workouts you can at least comp a player to a previous one and compare how they looked on a level field. It's a lot harder to do that in game footage with different offense, defenses, supporting players, so I can see why teams put a lot of stock in the workouts. It's a really hard thing to do, thus the fairly low odds of hitting. But I think college game film is basically a resume for most of the players, and the workouts are the interview.

    Again, I doubt many picks are unanimous in the war room after picks 1, 2 or 3. Anything in the 20s is going to have huge debates going on. I don't know what your point is, really. That they almost didn't take him? They probably almost didn't take BJ Sander. It doesn't change the fact the Packers had a lot of people in-house dying to get Rodgers. Including their OC at the time.
