    from Top 10 NFL Receivers With the Best Hands: https://www.thetoptens.com/football/nfl-receivers-best-hands/

    #2

    Odell Beckham Jr.Odell Beckham Jr. is a NFL wide receiver, playing for the Los Angeles Rams. He is most-known for making an incredible one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys. Beckham was drafted 12th overall to the New York Giants.
    <p id=”c8387860″ data-thumbs=”0″>He has literally the best hands ever, when me and my dad are watching the Giants play whenever OBJ makes a wicked catch I always say to him, ” OBJ is the only player who would complete that catch! ” And you all have to admit, sometimes all of you guys think that too. And I know sometimes he’s a little weird without this player the Ny Giants starting a new season without him they’d be 0-16 and have a worse team then the Browns, and I don’t get why he’s not in front of Marvin Harrison, he’s wayy better!</p>
    <p id=”c5590522″ data-thumbs=”-1″>He should be at least 4 but really should be top 3 because he has best hands in the NFL right now. His hands are way better than Calvin, Larry, and Randy Moss. Whoever made this list doesn’t know anything.</p>
    <p id=”c5304898″ data-thumbs=”-1″>No one make the catches this guy can make…and he makes it look easy!</p>

    Donald is one of the best defensive player I’ve ever seen and I go back to Mean Joe Greene, Alan Page, and Randy White.

    One of the best? With all due respect to Mean Joe Greene, Alan Page, Randy White, et. al… they aren’t in the same class as Aaron Donald. I watched all those guys too, and none of them were as dominant as AD. I get the reluctance to proclaim a player ‘the best ever’, and the desire to be respectful of the great ones of the past, but c’mon… It’s like saying Alaska is one of the biggest states in the US, cheetahs are one of the fastest cats, Zooey is one of the most annoying posters… At this point, saying he’s only *one* of the best despite the statistical and videographic evidence to the contrary is actually disrespectful to AD. But hey, if you want to risk adding another chip to those hyper-muscled shoulders, so be it. I’m sure the Rams wouldn’t mind the additional Super Bowl titles.

    I get what you’re saying. But to me a lot of it is era-dependent. The game changed and DTs in the 60s and 70s were different animals. Merlin Olsen for example fit his era perfectly. I think in the 60s or 70s Donald would have been a linebacker.

    Though I think one guy who would translate from the past to the present is Alan Page.

    Which takes nothing away from him, obviously. All the players who know the game and praise Donald say he is a unique blend of quickness and strength. Plus a lot of what he is comes from harnessing his skills and working endlessly on his game. Even the most dedicated players in the 60s and 70s did not work on their games at that level and to that extent. In fact they couldn’t even if they wanted to.

    That’s counts as bad news, right?

    I dunno. You would think that any contamination that would threaten Europe would threaten Russia as well. And the Black Sea. Or maybe they really are that crazy.

    Deals are in place. Packers allowed it. It has all happened quietly and behind the scenes. Rodgers simply has to make his decision.

    I was asked, who is better? Bruce Smith or Aaron Donald? Smith was a worthy HoFer, Donald is in the discussion for best defensive player ever. Give me the undersized tackle over the second best defensive end from that era.
    Smith was a two time DPOY and an All Pro 10 times (8 first team, two second teams). The 8 first teams are simply ridiculous accomplishments and mark Smith as one of the best defensive players ever.
    However, Donald has three DPOYs and has been a first team All Pro six of his seven years in the league (He was DROY the year he wasn’t an All Pro). He’ll probably add a few more All Pros and maybe a couple DPOYS before he’s done.
    He also plays DT which is not as stat driven as DE but still has a 20+ sack season.
    Donald is one of the best defensive player I’ve ever seen and I go back to Mean Joe Greene, Alan Page, and Randy White.

    God, and Aaron Donald, and Von Miller blessed him.

    All true, all true. He is a great coach though. The first time Donald ever met with him, Henderson went over tape showing AD technique flaws he wanted him to correct.

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue Sean McVay confirms that Thomas Brown will move to coach tight ends this season, and will continue his role as asst. head coach. Brown had HC, OC interviews this offseason. Brown will also hire a new RBs coach.

    One of the major changes happening internally for L.A. will be on the offensive side of the ball, where running backs coach Thomas Brown is being promoted, and given “more responsibility within the offense and team“. As a result, the Rams have reportedly begun to search for a replacement for Brown, and are expected to interview TCU running backs coach, run-game coordinator and assistant head coach, Ra’Shaad Samples.

    You know what it looks like to me. Brown is being positioned to ascend to coordinator. Either with the Rams eventually (given how often their coordinators get hired away), or maybe he gets hired somewhere else before being promoted with the Rams. And of course being positioned to be a coordinator means being positioned to eventually become a head coach.

    What does it mean that OBJ “did not have an ACL”   ?

    It is completely unclear what that means.

    from  https://ramblinfan.com/2022/02/23/la-rams-odell-beckham-jr-surgery-a-success/

    OBJ suffered an ACL injury before halftime of Super Bowl LVI. Due to the timing of the injury, he may not be ready to play football until December 2022 at the earliest. The good news is that his surgery went well. And on top of that, he is the proud father of a newborn, Zydn.

    NATO exists only to defend western Europe against an imperial and expansionist Russian right-wing autocrat who assassinates his critics. The deal Russia make with Ukraine when the latter dismantled the nukes wasn’t upheld either. NATO is nothing but a defensive arrangement against an aggressive Putinized Russia. Eliminate Putin and a more benign Russia could easily de-escalate the entire NATO situation since under those conditions NATO would have no reason to exist.

    You are making the distinction that NATO is strictly a military alliance. I’m using it as a concrete representation of Euro-American hegemony. Yeah, NATO isn’t going to invade. It doesn’t have to. Euro-American business interests are consuming Ukraine without NATO having to do anything beyond military exercises. And I think it’s very doubtful that NATO would go away without the threat of Putin. It didn’t go away after the threat of the USSR disappeared.

    Sry Z, don’t buy it. The only hegemony NATO has is over the territories of allied NATO countries, and the only reason for its existence is mutual defense against the world’s 2nd largest nuclear power. The only thing it denies Russia is re-expansion to the old USSR borders. That would be true no matter who was in charge of Russia. Certainly having a grade-A level psychopath in charge of Russia at the present does not help.

    Again. What was NATO wearing that caused Putin to react so aggressively?

    At least when the USA invaded Iraq we knew Hussein was a murderous despot, though that didn’t stop us from criticizing the action (which I was wholeheartedly a part of). Ukraine? It’s just land grabbing.

    #Rams coach Sean McVay’s fiancee is from Ukraine and her family is there. He began a Zoom chat with reporters by talking about gaining perspective from what he’s watching: “You see real-life examples (of) real adversity, what it’s like to unify and show real resilience.”

    Andrew Whitworth talking with us on@gmfb said he is close to making a decision and expects to make one within a week or two. He’s still working out and staying in shape. Side note, Whit said Aaron Donald was in the weight room the next morning after the parade
