    Rickey never struck me as a roids guy. He was also a bit early than the main roids era. And building lots of muscle doesn't help basestealing anyway...

    He is just making a save opportunity...

    All the Pirates (Clemente's former team) get to wear 21. Only a few others get the option to wear the number 21... but everyone has the patch https://www.mlb.com/news/roberto-clemente-day-2026-around-mlb

    Sounds like all players of Puerto Rican heritage and past RC award winners get to wear it too? But Lara and Chourio are from Venezuela, so ???

    Cruz is already in offseason mode... thinking of a Cruz Cruise

    I've done zero research, but I think they just forgot to put it in the pitch com device...

    The puzzle of Joey O. This guy reminds me of 2024 March-June Joey...what happened from July 2024- July 2026???

    Ashby hasn't pitched in a few days. I wouldn't read much into how people are used in the next few weeks. Some people are getting challenged while the games mean less and less. Either that or someone was mistaken that Ashby could get the win there...

    That was Game 4 Preseason right?🤮

    The only time that really happened was at the end of Rogers' tenure with the Pack and he was left with Davante Adams and a bunch of UDFAs. A career with Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, James Jones, and Davante Adams made for pretty good WR coverage for most of Rogers' career. Now the defense on the other hand...

    I'm anxious to put (whatever that was Sunday) behind us and move on to game two against the Jets, but I fear the ghost of that game will haunt us until they can patch that OL. It looked like we had the wrong people out there and/or people out there weren't working together. ZBB certainly showed rust of not playing in forever and he suddenly things he is a running back now.... Both our LG and RG looked every much the end of the roster filler they should be. You might not like the signing of Aaron Banks last year, but when healthy he is an average LG and average would be a major upgrade. Maybe it is time to revisit Belton at RG? Thankfully we don't face a team with Brian Flores... Wouldn't it have been so much better if Miami picked Flores over Hafley
  12. CheezWizHed
    Yes, me too. 82 wins will always be a special mark. Even this year.

    You clearly missed one of my posts above where is listed out the key acquisitions in Gute's first two years. Your post also is a great reminder of what selective memory looks like... You couldn't remember a single Free agent that Gute brought in... until McKinney or Jacobs. Once TT left, people were celebrating at the Free Agent spending Gute did! Of course, there was acknowledgement that he HAD to do it because there was no one worth extending because our depth was so bad. Gute's FA the first two years: Z Smith, P Smith, Amos, Turner, Marcedes Lewis, and Jimmy Graham,

    I'm pretty sure no scouting report said that. He was a massive physical specimen who needed technique work with his hands and feet. But I'm stunned that he lost the G starting role to Monk and Jennings. Both of whom I'd predicted wouldn't make the team... maybe I should've been right.
  15. CheezWizHed
    But can you pitch? And where is your pink bat??
  16. CheezWizHed
    That is true. But that probably has a lot to do with development than drafting... Our OL has sucked since Stenavich moved to OC. Not coincidentally, our offense has suffered since then too. No, I didn't dig into the UDFA archives... just too much work. 😛 And yes, I'll agree that prime TT > Gute. Just that the last 3 years were horrendous and left the depth bare. MM probably would've stuck around if someone else had been drafting those 3 years.
  17. CheezWizHed
    In Gute's first two years alone he added: Draft: Jaire Alexander, Rashad Gary, Darnell Savage, Elgton Jenkins. MVS, EQS (and a few decent ST players) FA: Z Smith, P Smith, Amos, Turner, Marcedes Lewis, and Jimmy Graham,

    You can't compare initial TT's drafting with his last few years when his disease was clearly impacting things. As I stated above, he had 3 years of really bad player acquisitions.
  19. CheezWizHed
    Specifically, I did mention the last few years of TT's tenure. Those drafts and (lack of) FA signings eroded the depth massively. When Gute was hired, he had an immediate impact on the draft and FA signings (especially that first FA group). Here are the 2015-2017 players that were on MLF's teams: 2015: 8 draft picks. Zero were with the team in 2019. FA signings - only resigned GB players. Lost Davon House 2016: 7 draft picks. Kenny Clark (6 seasons many starts) - multiple probowler Kyler Fackrell (1 season, zero starts) - Mainly backup/special teams Blake Martinez (1 season, 16 starts) - average starter. Dean Lowrey (4 seasons, many starts) - average/below ave starter. FA Signings - Jared Cook (never played with MLF) 2017: 10 draft picks Kevin King (3 years, many starts) below average starting CB. Montravius Adams (2 years, 3 starts) below average backup DT Jamaal Williams (2 years, 5 starts) above average backup RB. Probowl dancer Aaron Jones (5 years, many starts) excellent starting RB, single ProBowl FA Signings - Martellus Bennett (boy was that one FUN!), Lance Kendricks, Jahari Evans, Justin McCray - House, Kendrick, and McCray played 2 years with GB. None played with MLF. Three years of draft picks and acquisitions and TT helped MLF with Clark, Williams, Jones, and Martinez. The rest were negative or neutral impact as players.

    I used to read a bunch of articles from him, but his takes were so bad I gave up on AZ sports. If only we followed the Rams and signed a bunch of capable veteran FAs we would've won yest...er never mind.
  21. CheezWizHed
    TT was a boat anchor of a GM the last few years of his tenure... we all know why, but let's not pretend he had a positive impact on MLF's teams. I watched the game on recorded delay, so I wasn't in the IGT... but seems like Gute and MLF are getting the blame. When does Love get the hate? Whether he audibled to the QB sneak or not, why was he flopping on his back like a fish after bouncing off his center? Where are his audibles to hot reads during the last few meaningful drives (I think he finally started on the final drive when everything was academic) instead of 5 and 7 step drops? He is great QB when given time, but I don't see him (still) being able to read a blitz, motion someone, and change the play to something that will succeed. Still looks like a rookie there.

    Yeah, I remember posting here (years and years ago) and someone created this thread... I was so confused as to what it meant. 😂 That is result of growing up watching bad baseball teams.

    I'll say this for everyone to hear. Moderators aren't in every IGT but the increased insults have been noticed...and it will probably get worse when we get real trolls come for the playoffs. IGT thread bans are going to start being handed out more liberally. I just gave one today. Keep the conversation civil...disagree, but stop throwing out the insults.
  25. CheezWizHed
    Guys. Quit chipping at each other. We give a lot of sway in the IGT, but just stop already.
