  1. Teams that lead the league in turning the ball over usually end up with double digit losses for the season. Some can win by losing the time of possession but those are the ones with the better defenses.
  2. I read Green Bay was 41M over the cap. And the Bucs were 11M over.
  3. I don't agree. Teams that don't control the clock OR turn the ball over a lot, lose. You never heard of a defense getting exhausted? Lose the turnover battle, field position battle or time of possession and you lose more often that you win. Football basics.
  4. With the addition of Chafin in the BP, it may pave the way to make Alexander a SP.
  5. Stretch Fulmer out to be a SP again. At least use him as a set-up man. Or not...😄
  6. I never thought of these reasons. I guess I never gave tanking much thought, other than draft position.
  7. What would be the other reasons? To get a change in management? Or to not sell tickets? 😅
  8. The BP may be less exposed with the young pitchers off the leash and allowed to go deeper into games. We sure don't want to condition our SP to only go 5 or 6 innings consistently.
  9. Tanking in baseball probably happens less than in every other sport. Draft picks don't usually make an immediate impact.
  10. I'm glad the Tigers got those early draft picks before the draft lottery started.
  11. And the NL west had 2 teams with over 100 wins. This is going to be a very interesting season.
  12. Ohhhh...Pink Floyd...🤣🤣🤣
  13. The Braves and Mets are stocking up on talent. Jeez....there's still some great players available. This is crazy.
  14. The Packers are 42 million dollars over the cap. The Bucs are 11 million over. The argument in the Free Press this morning was the better teams find creative ways around the cap.
  15. Show me a team that leads the league in turnovers and made the playoffs. In the history of any football.
  16. This post is an instant classic. I'm out of likes so I'll just say it...I approve of this remark.
  17. With the signing of Walker, maybe we won't be tempted to taking a safety at #2. I've read there hasn't been many safeties taken that early in the draft. Getting consistent pressure on the opposing QB can make our secondary look much better and also create more turnovers.
  18. Yeah gotta admit though, Fontes was never boring. Always had a quote that fired the fans up. But looking back on it, that took pressure off the players. The Big Buck..lol
  19. Plus, if we improve our offense, it won't put as much stress on the defense. Field position and time of possession are under-rated stats. Remember Wayne Fontes firing Mouse Davis because we were "scoring too quick?" Lmao
  20. Releasing Flowers will give them some cap room.
  21. Sounds like a winner and high character guy; https://www.yahoo.com/now/young-dj-chark-saved-dad-155039504.html
  22. What are ya, a pirate? 🤣🤣
  23. I don't mean to bring up politics in a baseball thread but I just learned....the Lions signed a WR. <ducks>
  24. Remember Leyland hitting Kelly in the 2 hole, in the playoffs AT Yankee stadium? And then looking like a genius when Donny hit a 1st inning HR? Or was that just a dream?
