ALPHA

Young had a great game, he's definitely got young legs and movement skills both of which we needed.

He's just above average against the run. We wanted McPhee 2.0 and we got upshaw 2.0. I will say that he gets decent anount of "pressures" but he shouldn't be in front of Judon. 

He was talking double digit sacks this past offseason. Does anyone with a pff account know how his pressures count stacks up?

Didn't @Sami84 think Elam was the 2nd coming of Sean Taylor?  I remember him loving the pick...

I thought it was obvious he would have tackling issues at the next level

lol..... terrorist. The Flacconator

That sounds like a burger

We should sign old man James Harrison next year just so he cant blast Flacco a half dozen times next season.

Thanks BmoreBird22 and MTRavensFan. I love to pick peoples brains on science and biology.

Willbacker gets a participation sticker.

I have no idea what is going on.

I'm surprised we're first place, hopefully we can capitalize and build momentum.

For real though, the guy lost a step and is still faster than everyone. He's quietly having a good season despite our offensive issues.

Juilio's size, speed and hands make him a nightmare to cover. Very grateful we have Mike Wallace, but other than speed he has no strength over Julio.

Also durability, because the best ability is availability.

Dixon is injury prone

Sometimes chemistry comes down to believing in the system, coaches and players around you. once players stop believing they stop fighting and its over.

If Flacco was having a good year Wallace would be closing in on 1000 yards

Without the plays and production of our 2012 rookies we wouldnt have won the Super Bowl.

Does anyone buy the Embiid hype?

It's maybe the best performance of Adam Sandler's career. 

One of the few times he cared when making a movie.

Theres too many special interest groups that lobby to keep it illegal, which is a shame considering the medicinal benefits and the properties of hemp. As for Monroe? well I understand the frustration but he never failed a drug test, was always in shape and played well when he was healthy.

I think it probably has something to do with the Cubs.

This could actually be a really good move for the Browns. Their defense is pretty bad and needs a leader, and Collins can be that guy. I am surprised to see the Pats let him go though. I guess they thought they wouldn't be able to keep him this offseason or something.

Pats can move on from anyone even Brady, thats why theyre the best team in the league and contenders every year.

I think the general consensus at the moment is that Brown is a disappointment, but Byron Jones was one of my favorite players in the draft prior the combine. I would have loved him here.

Was he on our radar, wasn't his hype primarily based around his workout?

Has anyone seen Man Down with Shia Laboof? not really a fan of his or the charisma black hole  that is Jai Courtney but the trailer looks interesting.

Great post BmoreBird22! 

Would it be possible/beneficial to gain all your nutritional requirements through an IV drip? say say while you're asleep, kind of like an intermittent fasting timeframe but without the actual downtime required for digestion.

Also does dehydration lead to an increased level of waste byproducts building up in the body? is there a long term benefit to maintaining ideal hydration 24 hours a day compared to say intermittent levels of mostly high hydration with short periods of dehydration?

Thanks in advance.

So the build your NBA team for $15. I wanted to add some changes to that. 

Here we go

PGs

$5 Magic Johnson

$4 Oscar Robertson

$3 Isiah Thomas

$2 John Stockton

$1 Gary Payton

SGs

$5 Micheal Jordan

$4 Kobe Bryant

$3 Jerry West

$2 Clyde Drexler

$1 Dwyane Wade

SFs

$5 Lebron James

$4 Larry Bird

$3 Elgin Baylor

$2 Julius Irving

$1 Dominique Wilkins

PFs

$5 Tim Duncan

$4 Karl Malone

$3 Charles Barkley

$2 Elvin Hayes

$1 Kevin Garnett

C

$5 Kareem

$4 Bill Rusell

$3 Wilt Chamberlin

$2 Shaq

$1 Hakeem Olajuwon 

 

So here we go. 

 

PG: $5. Magic Johsnon. Real No Brainer. Greatest floor general of all time. You want someone here who can run the floor the top of its ability. No one in NBA history is better. Easy choice. 

SG: $1 Dwyane Wade. Slasher to attack the basket. You need someone who can do this on the team. Magic has a good outside jumper. A guard who can attack the basket and play elite defense is invaluable. 

SF: $4 Larry Bird. 

In Today's NBA you need a 3 point shooter. Larry Bird was a sharpshooting SF who played tough as nails defense, grabbed a ton of boards and was a great passer. 

PF: $3 Charles Barkley-Barkley doesn't need to score to be an effective player. He was also an elite defender and rebounder. 

C: $2 Shaq-Magic needs the low post threat... And since Kareem isn't available I figured going to get the second most dominant big man in NBA history would do well. 

Easy.

Stockton Jordan Lebron KG Hakeem, and with a dollar to spare Wade as 6th man

So how many Pro Bowlers have we drafted in the last 4 years? Not many.Is Mosley the only one? 

Tucker was undrafted. 

I think a better question is how many prospects (that we were considering and didn't pick) went on to become pro bowlers? hindsight doesn't count, and Pierce Upshaw and Osemele were critical pieces in our Super Bowl win. Harrison Smith would be nice now but I prefer the championship.

2014 gave us three starters, 4 if you include Jensen. Based on the visits tracker and rumored targets we were never going to come close to nailing the first two rounds. We did OK in what was a God awful draft class.

2015 there has been nobody of note from our first pick onwards.

Preston Smith has been pretty good for the Skins and would definitely had filled a need. 

But I'm still not convinced Perriman won't turn it around here soon. 

True, hes no world beater but hes contributing. Big power edge rushers just seem to translate better, man strength is real.
