That was actually a really impressive throw on the run by Sudfeld.

Brian Branch may make a lot of teams regret their choices in April 2023.

They just played an NFL Responsible Gambling commercial at the stadium…. Starring Steve Mariucci. Maybe that’s why so many players are getting suspended for gambling, they have freaking Steve Mariucci coaching them how not to get suspended for gambling.

Ain’t noooo doubt about it…. I am ready to be hurt again.

This is fair. It’s probably also fair to see him as WR3, not WR4. I mentally put Marvin Jones as WR3, replacing Chark, but they may well see Kalif taking on a bigger role. I’ll wait to see the money to pass final judgement.

Im interested to see the terms before I pass judgement. But he’s probably WR4 on this team and I don’t think kick/punt returning is a position I value highly at all. Not to say he’s not good, he is, but both Gibbs and Jamo returned kicks in college, and you’re paying them anyway. Add onto that the way the NFL keeps devaluing special teams more and more, and I’m not sure I’ll be all aboard a two-year extension for the position.

If we aren’t allowed a live lion on the sideline, this pup has my vote for second choice.

It’s game day!!

It's included free with season tickets (or at least was the last two years I haven't heard about it yet this year), so I had it downloaded. It was good for streaming on my phone if that's all you're looking to do. If I was at a bar that didn't have the game I wanted on the TV, I would usually just stream it. Occasionally would do it from my desk too. It wouldn't let you play live games on the TV though. If I wanted to actually sit at home and watch a game, I more often would find other ways to watch on my computer monitor or cast it to my TV.

I didn't see until just now that Logan Stenberg was waived. Didn't even make it to roster cuts. Another Quinn failure. He stumbled into Jonah Jackson or that entire 2020 draft would have been a complete and total waste. By my count the only Quinn draft remnants who have been here since the regime change are Decker, Ragnow, Jackson, Walker, Harris, and J. Okwara... Glasgow and Reeves-Maybin were both drafted but left and came back. And I wouldn't be surprised if Harris and Okwara get cut before September.

Vegas makes no sense at all geographically. USC is closest and they’re still 270 miles from Vegas. Ann Arbor is closer to Lucas Oil.

The RB room is very crowded. I have to think Jackson saw the writing on the wall and decided to go out on his own terms.

The debate is a completely pointless exercise. There is no game scenario where these two just battle it out one-on-one, KT moving towards a non-existent target and Sewell just pushing him back, while everyone else stands and stares. I’m sure that the exercise is a good workout for each of them (or they wouldn’t be doing it), but it is not designed to really have a ‘winner’ or ‘loser’, unless someone gets knocked on their ass of course. ………..but yeah, Sewell won.

I love how we go from the sky is falling to hitting the jackpot on a day to day basis with Jamo. Gotta love training camp.

It makes me sad that he and Dan couldn’t call a World Series winner. I grew up listening to them. Not that he’s play by play, but the “wow WOW” during the Dan Dickerson Magglio ALCS call still gives me chills.

In theory I think he will be healthy enough to play by November. But with Goff on the roster, I don’t think even Stroud or Young would have played this year, outside of a backup role. Without pulling up statistics, it sure feels like QBs who have had a year to redshirt and learn an offense before getting hit by NFL defensive linemen have a better track record. Mahomes, Rodgers, Brady, and Hurts all come to mind as guys who were allowed to have a slow start to the league.

I think there are multiple possible answers, but it certainly wasn't to be a backup quarterback in 2023.

In all seriousness I think this is a really good signing on multiple levels. Yes, Bridgewater will provide a quality backup and a chance of salvaging the season if Goff goes down. More than that though (because we all hope that will never come to fruition), I think he will provide quality mentorship to Hooker, and ensure - barring injury chaos - that Hooker won’t be pressured to even dress this year, let alone see the field. Teddy has been a starter in the league, he’s been a quality backup, and (possibly most importantly) he’s resurrected his career from a pretty catastrophic knee injury. Bridgewater was originally supposed to be out for 19 months with his ACL tear and knee dislocation, but returned after about 15 months. I do think there is something to be said for the psychology of that kind of injury, and I hope he is able to pass some wisdom off onto Hooker.

I’m disappointed. I was really looking forward to “SUD-FELD” chants at Ford Field this Friday night.

Raymond is only a lock so far as he is the starting kick/punt returner. I don't think he's a lock as a WR alone. Green and Drummond both seemed destined for a practice squad spot.

I don’t see anything shocking occurring at cuts (granted if I saw them coming they wouldn’t be shocking). Maybe the loser of the Glasgow/Big V competition, but I think they keep them on unless the loser asks for a trade/release. Some familiar names I could see having a less than guaranteed roster spot though are both Okwaras, Iffy, Brock Wright, Levi Onwuzurike, Jerry Jacobs, and Will Harris. I’ll add Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds too, though I think they’re helped by JaMo’s suspension. I’m curious if Gibbs gets any reps this preseason at kick/punt return.

I'm not yet convinced that the B1G doesn't want Stanford and Cal to some extent. They check a lot of boxes for the conference, but I think they want them to join on the B1G's terms money-wise. I think they could be waiting to offer Stanford and Cal a really bad deal that they can't refuse. If UW and Oregon have to wait until 2030 for a full share, Stanford and Cal might have to wait until 2050, but they'd still snatch up the opportunity to avoid being left without a raft. I could also see them leveraging Stanford with Notre Dame. Coming to ND with a package like offering to add them along with Stanford, Cal, and Miami. If you have to, throw out a veiled threat of a ten-team conference schedule. As these conferences continue to expand, you would think schools will be less incentivized to play ND on ND's terms. Not to mention they'll make more money in the B1G, it's all about pride at this point.
