Jalen Ramsey
Leonard Floyd
A’Shawn Robinson
Matthew Stafford

Yeah, they’ve done a good job. I’m trying to remember who have been the disappointments.

I seem to remember a WR, i think from the Bears. Cant remember his name.

As Nick Wright and others are saying, I’m excited about seeing what Garret can do while playing with a lead most of the game. He had 23 sacks playing for a team that was behind most of the time. We may be looking at a 30 sack season.

The Rams are unmatched at RB and DL I would say.

Ya know, watching quick-vids of him is like watching Aaron Donald. I mean, the similarities are startling.

One of the talking heads noted that average NFL fans know all about his sack record but they didnt watch him on a down-to-down basis, like other great players that are always on prime time and in the playoffs regularly. Myles will now be on prime-time about 8 or 10 times this year. If he stays healthy he is gonna be quite the celebrity.

He also reminds me a bit of Ray Lewis for some reason. The…oh….’ferocity’.

“I dont think anybody on the planet can bend like him”

Myles Garrett looks…’thick’. Ya know. Big. Wiki lists him as 6’4″ and 272 Lbs.
(I thought Jared Verse looked thick; He is listed as 6’4″ 265 Lbs.)

Didnt remember he was the first overall pick in the draft in 2017.

Scored 31 on the Wonderlic, fwiw.

So, HOW exactly is Myles better than Jared? More speed? Bendy-er? More moves?

“Jordan, Run!”

I would go get Miles Garrett, even if it takes Verse and a first rounder.

Something you dont see everyday:

B.Jones wondered whether Garrett was really all that much better than young Mr Verse. So he asked Mina ‘how much better is Garrett?’ — she said ‘A lot.’

AJ Brown does indeed go to the Pats. First Rd pick in 28 and a 5 rd pick in 27

According to the internet.

I’ve now had about fifteen minutes to think about this. …and I’d like to be the FIRST to begin the board-war-question: So….who’s better, Aaron Donald or Myles Garrett?

I shall take my leave now.

i think verse is a solid player. and i like the guy. he just brings a great attitude and his effort is always there. but garrett is on a different level. he brings the same intangibles but his physicality is off the charts. he’s an aaron donald level player. he’s a difference maker. just not sure verse will ever be there.

I ‘do’ feel bad for Verse. Hollywood to Cleve-land. I dont think he will be happy. …is anyone happy in cleveland?

Garrett will be 31 in December. How much longer will he be a top DE? I think this trade is a big gamble and deals with a position of strength, rather than upgrading a weakness.

They gave up a lot for a player on the downside of his career, IMO.

Yeah, I just heard about it 2 minutes ago. Haven’t had time to digest it, but my very first thought was ‘Garrett is how old?…’ There’s a reason the Rams agonized over giving up Verse.

I did say the other day, I found Verse to be somewhat immature. I dunno what Myles Garrett is like in the locker-room. I hope hes a good leader.

Seattle fans were happy about the Ty Simpson decision. Something tells me they are not happy about this decision.

The important thing is…now Aaron Donald can come out of retirement and we can revisit the days of Merlin and Deacon 🙂

The key is not wasting energy arguing with reality and training yourself to respond and re-engage quickly.

Hmmmm. Well, i’ve spent my entire life arguing with reality.

I see no reason to try and get along with reality.
