Pretty much where I am. And as bad as that last pick was (1st down play in a situation where a turnover equals an instant loss), if I were a Rams fan I'd be more concerned about their defense. SF went through them like swiss cheese.
Hoping for a good game tonight from Bama offensive tackle Evan Neal, could keep the choice open at edge like you said.Zeppelin said:
I'm actively rooting for him, the difference in picks is rather miniscule at the bottom of the first round anyway.
Interesting. That's been my view of Lynn for years. Never watched Hard Knocks but heard he came across as a real mensch. At the same time, never thought he was an offensive genius and was genuinely puzzled at the decision to hire him. Not nearly as big a miscue as the Giants hiring Garrett but in a similar vein. I wonder what his future is; feels like he's probably more suited to a HC role than a coordinator, but also not sure his tenure in SD/LA will win him a lot of future opps. Maybe one of those "Assistant HC" roles where he's the head guy's right-hand man?
TEs coach Ben Johnson is being touted as a possibility. He was involved in developing game plans after A Lynn was put on the shelf. Other names I’ve seen put forward:
I believe recent tradition has been to first offer it to the two worst teams. Campbell has said that while it’s a great opportunity to work with some of the guys on your draft board, it can also skew the evaluation process. Thought it was interesting he was of that mindset. Holmes was a scout when the Rams took Sam Bradford, MCDC was with the Dolphins when they took Jake Long.Lions coaching staff selected to coach in the Senior Bowl.
That would be a phenomenal signing whoever lands him Jackson is probably the best press corner in the league rn.
Correct. In the other three major North American Team Sports, the longest drought since winning a year playoff series are:
I get that some Lions fans like to see Stafford do well and win, but Lions just traded down in the first round from 23 to 26 and got a bumper sticker in return
I watched that game and while I remember it took a long time to get him strapped onto the board and loaded on a gurney, I don’t remember him giving the thumbs up. Of course for the next month One for the Thumb was the mantra but I don’t think the broadcast even noted it at the time.
Barry used to occasionally show up and play pickup b-ball at Oakland University when I was there. He was really good. He had a crazy vertical and could probably squat the entire gym. He was a super nice guy too.
mixed results
I think he just isn't a very outgoing person. I met him when just after his rookie year at a grocery store I worked at. He was nice, and spoke to us a bit but I just don't think that's really who he is. I am not a tall guy, only 5'7", and it was weird that he was only a little taller, but his legs were like tree trunks.
That’s funny. I was a bartender back when Barry was playing, and the general consensus was that bartending at TGIF would be the worst job ever because they had a ton of ice cream drinks on the menu. Those things are such a pain to make. But damn they were tasty.
The point is that there isn't much of a difference between the picks, so let us root for success for a good guy who was the face of the franchise for a decade.IHEARTFF said:
Could end up being better than any draft pick.
guy I went to college with lived on the same street as Barry in Rochester Hills his first house in the 90s was a plain Jane colonialLeroy Hoard said:
