Did you just get back from an Applebee’s?I just wanted to say that I love Marshawn Lynch, what a character.

No, I was on youtube and listening an interview that he had earlier this year with Pat McAfee and then watched him deal with a football mom. Last week I was rewatching him telling Rodgers that he would get some blitzes and smash him.Did you just get back from an Applebee’s?
I’d say that’s more the case for Julio Jones news, which could drop any time now.Big day tomorrow, if anything is going to happen with Rodgers you’d expect to hear more this week.
Perhaps. I’d be shocked to hear anything on Watson but I’m hoping we get some kind of movement on Rodgers.I’d say that’s more the case for Julio Jones news, which could drop any time now.
The Rodgers, and Watson, sagas will be in limbo until the end of the summer at least, in my humble opinion. Right now it seems like they are daring him to retire for a year and pay them back the ~$30M he’d owe them.
Is it and was it? Jefferson and Thielen are the best duo in the league, Diggs and Thielen were the best duo previously.Julio goes from the best WR duo in the league to the best WR duo in the league and both times it isn’t even close.
It’s a little close.Julio goes from the best WR duo in the league to the best WR duo in the league and both times it isn’t even close.
Nah, Diggs never unlocked his potential at the Vikings and was just a "good" receiver used as a deep threat. Ridley's stats were on the same level (and better on a per game basis) than Jefferson's last season, while Julio literally shits all over Thielen. Thielen is very good, Julio is first ballot HOF.Is it and was it? Jefferson and Thielen are the best duo in the league, Diggs and Thielen were the best duo previously.
The issue is that you rate Jones incredibly high and aren't judging what he is today. Just an example PFF's final wide receiver ranking after the regular season had both Thielen and Jefferson in the top 10, Jefferson was 2nd and Thielen 6th while Jones was 9th and Ridley 15th; AJ Brown was third.Nah, Diggs never unlocked his potential at the Vikings and was just a "good" receiver used as a deep threat.

As from this season it comes down to AJ Brown vs Thielen (AJ Brown) and Julio vs Jefferson (Julio). Even if you switch it up, Brown is as good (better imo) than Jefferson and Julio again shits all over Thielen.
It's fine if you disagree but you're clearly a huge Minnesota homer so don't think many people would agree with you (but I could be wrong too, I just rate Julio incredibly high and think AJ Brown is great too).
Adding AVT to Becton gives you 2 fantastic pieces to build your OL, and I think Elijah Moore will be one of the steals of the draft even if he primarily plays out of the slot.As a Jets fan, just want to jump and say how excited I am for the new season. Not a usual feeling and I feel some of our draft picks outside of Wilson will really shine!
First round, they went out of their way to draft him in the first round!A lot of that will simply depend on how Lawrence and Wilson get off to their NFL careers, although I definitely agree that the Jags could've done way better with e.g. appointing Meyer and drafting Etienne in the second round.
I know nobody cares about someone else's fantasy team but I got Wilson in the second round of our rookie dynasty draft (after Lawrence, Fields and Lance were already gone) so am gonna root for him as well.
Even though they already had a good young RB on a cheap contract. And then they started working Etienne at WR, even though they have a guy that was born to play a WR/RB gadget role in Shenault.First round, they went out of their way to draft him the first round!
Oh you're right, ffsFirst round, they went out of their way to draft him the first round!
In a podcast that I follow one of the guest made the good point that they were building the squad as if they were a college team(100+ players) with no care of roster balance or cap management.Even though they already had a good young RB on a cheap contract. And then they started working Etienne at WR, even though they have a guy that was born to play a WR/RB gadget role in Shenault.
It was a shambles even aside from the Tebow nonsense.
I am here for Moore tbh, guy looks legit a star in the making I think with him, Mims and Davis will be really explosive. I expect Crowder to leave, hopefully, we can use the cap space to add some more talent. The OL has been made of paper for a while, AVT and Becton (if he can stay fit) looks solid, add in Carl Lawson and potentially signing Moses and this is a lot stronger.Adding AVT to Becton gives you 2 fantastic pieces to build your OL, and I think Elijah Moore will be one of the steals of the draft even if he primarily plays out of the slot.
I’m more optimistic on the Jets’ odds for success in the near to mid-term than the team next to them at the top of the draft in Jacksonville.

Why does it look like he's already limping
They’re not even in the second tier of the AFC. It goes KC then Buffalo, Baltimore, and the Browns; then a bunch of teams with no chance this year.I'm seeing NFL people on twitter creaming themselves over this Jones trade for the Titans and how it makes them contenders. I don't really get that, their offense was not their cause for concern, they have been bad defensively for years. He's been a part of exactly the same kind of team in Atlanta, without any success the last couple of years. He's 32, and coming off an injury ridden season. It's a fun trade, but not really a game changer for me.
You never know with the Titans. Jones, however is clearly on the downward slope of his career and its highly unlikely he's going to produce like the JJ of 2015 again. If they get 90 receptions out of him then it will be considered a massive win for the Titans.I'm seeing NFL people on twitter creaming themselves over this Jones trade for the Titans and how it makes them contenders.

I have read this off-season that cold water has been thrown on the idea of a team (Jax) moving to London, but activity around hosting games in foreign locales is still quite active; especially in England and Germany.https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-requesting-proposals-for-future-regular-season-games-in-germany
Games are coming to Germany.
"The feck am I doing here"
But, the cheese room?I have read this off-season that cold water has been thrown on the idea of a team (Jax) moving to London, but activity around hosting games in foreign locales is still quite active; especially in England and Germany.

It was a reference to Glaston and his over the top bigging up of the Spurs stadium, apologies.@Rado_N I don’t know anything about a cheese room, but I can only guess maybe their chile con queso was a bit shit.
They can disappear sooner rather than later and be only a 4-6 game Big Ben suspension, if the lawyerly talking head types are to be believed.I really can’t see the Watson situation going away, and certainly not quickly enough for him to be a viable trade target for anyone this year. Don’t get me wrong I’m not naive enough to think a team wouldn’t ignore it all if he can find a settlement, I just don’t see 22 cases disappearing.
With 17 games and A-Rod doing who knows what, the Vikes might be a good bet on the over for wins. I would have also included the Texans there but they’re no longer at 3 wins it seems.Tweet

And there are rumors about Sheldon Richardson. Zimmer didn't like having a bad defense.
