    One of my top question marks this year is Chris Shula, btw.   I have no inkling where he will rank  as a ram DC.   Should be interesting.

    Guess who had the best winning percentage of these DCs ?     Check the link.

    Raheem, Staley, Wade Philips, Greg Williams, Tim Walton, Blake Williams, Ken Flajole, Jim Haslett, Larrie Marmie, Lovie Smith, Peter Giunta, Bud Carson, Willie Shaw, Fritz Shurmur, Herb Patera

    I love the fact the Oline is not a question mark this year.   Seems like most years, for most teams Oline is a question mark.

    Solid Oline line.  Good RBs.  Good WRs.  Stafford.   If Tight Ends come through, it should be a playoff level offense.

    Dunno if they have the overall firepower of the 49ers or Lions though.

    I keep waiting for the national media to wake up to the fact that there is a very strong argument, Stafford is the best QB in the NFC and maybe the second best in the entire NFL.

    I mean Mahomes is Mahomes.   But after that…I dunno.  Ya got the usual four or five AFC QBs always mentioned.   But Stafford didnt just get a Ring two years ago, he LEAD the Rams to a ring.  Outdueled Brady, and Burrow, and came back against the 49ers.

    I will never understand some of these rankings.

    I dunno.  He doesn’t seem particularly forthcoming about it.  Seems pretty vague to me.

    I guess he doesn’t owe the public a dave chappelle type explanation of his breakdown or whatever it was.    But i hope the kid has insight inside his OWN head on what happened and what he needs to do now.

    Corbyn got more votes for Labor Party than centrist Starmer did this time around.   Greenwald thinks evidence shows most Brit voters are disgusted with both mainstream parties.

    Tier three — Steelers, 49ers, Saints, Bears, Eagles, Browns.

    Tier four — all the rest, except the Bengals.

    Tier 42 – Bengals.

    So, Lebron James’ son, Bronnie was drafted by the Lakers.   Father and son, on the same team.   Interesting story, lots of cross-currents and layers.

    One black commentator (in this vid) said, he doesnt want to hear about nepotism NOW.  When a black person benefits from it.   He pointed out Jerry Bus’s son used to run the Lakers.  Noone complained.  Etc, and so forth.

    Well, I’ve cringed plenty of times at the stuff the white-males have said (and ‘not said’) about race during the caitlin clark discussions.   The Eisens and Dan Patricks and the rest.    Its not trump-level stuff of course.   But its lib-shit stuff.   What irks me most is just the ‘uncomfortableness’ they display with the whole subject.  Their voices change.  They get very…oh…’deliberate.’   Its like they think the subject is full of landmines.

    ‘Leftists’ just talk about it in a matter-of-fact way.   Its like we LIKE talking about it.  The libs hate talking about it.    I could go on.

    Brady is a good listen, here, I think.   He will make a good analyst for Fox.   I dont think he will ever resonate with fans the way, say, Madden did though.   Brady has this weird quiet intensity and knowledge.  Which is great.   But he lacks…oh…humor.  Or somethin.  Somethin he cant get by working hard or studying the ‘craft’ of tv-talking.

    Ya either got the humor thing or you dont.

    He has high praise for Scarneccia (sp?) here, not surprisingly.   Said Scar coached the practice squad guys as meaningfully as the starters.   “Everybody on the Patriots got coached”

    Consensus among celebrity-punditz iz, the Texans will be awesome next season.      I dunno if they will or not, but i didnt know they accomplished a lot last year despite some serious injury situations:

    “….Houston set a new record with 82.1 AGL, which surpassed the previous record set by the Los Angeles Rams in 2022. The Texans shuffled constantly throughout the regular season, starting seven different offensive line combinations. No group up front played more than four consecutive games together.

    Texans right guard Shaq Mason was the only lineman to play all 17 regular season games. Green, tackle Tytus Howard, and rookie linemen Jarrett Patterson and Juice Scruggs each accounted for 10 AGL.

    The lack of continuity up front likely contributed to the running game struggles. Houston averaged 3.7 yards per carry, tied with the Las Vegas Raiders for fourth-worst in the league. The Texans’ pass blocking was slightly better, with 47 sacks surrendered — just outside the bottom-10 in the league….”

     

    Texans overcame league’s highest injury total in 2023

    Rams offered 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th to the Jets for Brock Bowers??

    Really?   The kid is ‘that’ good?

    I dunno, man.

    I dont like to think of the Rams DLine without the new DE and DT.

     

    It will be interesting to watch the season Brock Bowers has this year.

    Barkley on the OJ thing, and other stuff.    I dont agree with Charles’ politics;  he often strikes me as a bit of a rightwing libertarian.    But i do find him interesting in many ways.

    They drafted him in the third because they absolutely loved him, he was a Sugarman visit, there is enough injury precedent even before this (recent) issue with Kyren to need a solid 2, and they will not extend running backs…

     

    I didnt think it was that black-and-white.   They ‘will not extend running backs.’
