1984Echoes

Yeah I'm with sloth... Give him a lot of time to adjust... We're still aiming for draft position, not playoffs, I think, so...

I've got my towel at the ready...

I only use self-checkout. I'm way too hyper to wait for anyone else to bag my groceries, or be stuck in a slow moving line at a cashier for: any reason whatsoever.

I don't know if he needs to have a fully flexible hand to control a defensive lineman, either incoming or in the rushing game... but that's what Campbell intimated on detroitlions.com. Maybe he would suck at LT working with 1.5 hands? Seems pretty damn weak... But if we could just get a 1st rounder "plus" offer...

I could lose a 3rd rounder for Correa...

Can we just send them through a gauntlet? Where we each get a punch to see if they can take it and, if they're still alive at the end of the gauntlet... they're in?

Gulag.

This is where I'm at so... agreed. We can only wait this out for now and see if he can figure some things out... he's still only 20...

The question is: Is he Stanley Johnson, and he never improves? Or is he Khris Middleton or Spencer Dinwiddie and the team gives up on him too early and... all of a sudden, in year 4, he blossoms/ turns into a complimentary player that we wish we had back?

I refuse to partake of these festivities...

Same thing at Drive-Through ATM's... except it is 3 minutes, not 25 sec's... I mean... WTF? How long does it take to shove some cash into your wallet/ purse and then get your ass moving again? Although I would prefer using just a simple Romulan Phase 3 Disruptor to eliminate the problem...

Yeah, I'm on board with trade deadline 2022 evaluations (of our team, position in the standings, and playoff aspirations/ needs...). I think I'd want to add one offseason FA reliever into the mix, just for the competition aspect of it (and... the more the merrier...). And if we needed at add an additional arm/ bat/ catcher at the deadline then be able to consider that avenue as well...

This would be hilarious!!! I have a huge smile on my face (and trying not to crack up...) just THINKING about this...!!!

Right... But are we just trying to get by in 2022 (pushing for the playoffs but, certainly, not a championship-level team yet so... one get-by year shouldn't be a major problem...) and counting on some kind of decent contributions in 2023 from Rogers/ Haase/ Dingler...? Or are we going all out in 2022? If there's a decent veteran we can add in 2022 for a year or two... I'm all for that. But I think we've all looked around and have not really been impressed with our options... So can we just get-by for one more year with Greiner/ Garneau type players... just for 2022? And to acknowledge G2's point... yeah, I think both are free agent options but, I don't think it would be too difficult to get them back in 2022...

But I would still look at Rogers and Dingler as 2023 potentials, not anything for 2022... so I would want to get through a 1-year stopgap, and then let the kids battle it out to see who can take over the starting position versus getting backup time... And fill in with fallback veterans behind them in AAA and AA...

Do we have Greiner back for 2022? I could live with the devil we know for one more year. Can we stick Garneau in AAA? Fallback option #1? And maybe one more similar AAAA guy just as a fallback to get through the year...? I agree... Don't really see a need to send any money for one year when there are no really good options for that anyways...

It doesn't bother me to have Sewell on the Right side for one season... especially since he's already played several games on the Left and now knows what it will take to master the Left side. He has work to do. Next season, I agree. I think he'll do heavy work in the offseason, come prepared to take over on the Left side, and at that point Decker can be pushed over to the Right... I'm not averse to trading Decker but... (1) I think that's next season, not this season, (2) I want a damn good package for him, I am not interested in a garbage offer so either we get a 1st + other picks (4th? a 2024 or 2025 pick? Whatever... just not interested in a below market trade for a valuable asset) and... (3) There needs to be a replacement nearly as good as a Decker RT. And we've whiffed there several times. Another draft pick? Sure... But I don't want Roque or McDougle, it needs to be at least a Cherilus or Reiff or, even better, a Tyron Smith. You could add in a Larry Warford too...

I don't think there's a whole lot left to see of Goff... However... I wouldn't be opposed to an additional WR if the guy can actually (a) get open, (b) make catches and (c) stay healthy. Just to... keep this team's head above water so they don't all feel like they are drowning... A morale issue as much as a talent issue...

How about our 2nd round pick. Throw Carson Strong into that mix. Thibodeaux - WR - Willis in the 2nd... If he turns into better than a backup we can trade him for a couple 1sts and keep CJ Stroud (2023 draft) as our starter.

yes.

I disagree with that. He was broadcasting his request for that in December. He gave a speech that said "be tough" (in code: go use violence to help me remain in power). He absolutely incited the riot. They only came there because he asked them to...

Go for it... I will accede to your request. He is both the biggest douchebag on the planet, and in all of mankind's history.

I've already spoken about how I want annual registration fees structured for gun owners... to pay for annual IRS/ FBI/ and mental health audits.

Biggest douchebag on the planet. Or in all of mankind's history. Take your pick.

I was searching for years for a favorite commercial of mine, and didn't see it pop up until a couple years ago... It wasn't about the words... it was an old Volkswagon commercial from the late 90's done to the tune of "Da Da Da", by the Trio. They always had cool commercials... but this one stuck with me as one of the coolest because of the song... And since I have a love affair with the Cowboy Junkies... I loved their song being used as the anthem for (I forget... Carnival? Royal Caribbean?) all during the early 90's commercials...
