Hey y’all just asking for thoughts and prayers. The other half is in the ICU and on a ventilator. He has a bad case of sepsis due to a kidney stone. They did a procedure on him yesterday to help but it’s only step one. He has to get well enough to be able to have the stone removed and just placing a stent was risky. They told me he could die from complications from the procedure but that he could die from not doing it. Every lab they ran he was ridiculously low on what would be safe for intervention but doing nothing would likely damn him further because it could cause his liver failure to get so much worse even if he beats the sepsis.

Because Buddy Ryan and Mike Ditka hated each other. Both wanted all the credit. Ditka wanted Buddy to run the Dallas "Flex" defense and Buddy refused too. Buddy was bat **** crazy anyway. Remember he took a swing st Oilers OC Kevin Gilbride in 1993 because Buddy was pissed off at the play calling.

I’m with you. I’m also a big believer in Jefferson, Matthews and Staley.

I am too.

I also think that Farooq and Jordan Thomas can be a very good Safety pair. If not Jordan, then Jakobe. But I don’t know if the coaches agree. Given that the only Safety they appeared to target was an elite guy in Watts, they must feel pretty good about that group.

What about LB. Do we expect Telander to start?

We've seen guys at WR take a major leap forward in performance in their second year in the program. I think Matthews, Staley, and Brazzell are all going to do well. Boo on offense can be a real difference maker. You also have a really good TE room where Kitselman and Davis are going to be weapons. The freshmen are definitely talented...I could see Travis Smith stepping in and being a weapon. Brame might need to get a little bigger to hold up at TE, but he's certainly athletic enough to contribute in the passing game if needed. Hopefully Jefferson will be 100% and ready to contribute. They're losing experience at WR but gaining in talent. They'll probably go back to not rotating guys as much and I think that can only help accelerate their development and improve chemistry with Nico. The only real concern I have is if several guys go down, but having multiple weapons at TE means they'll have more options if that happens. Tate would've been a great addition, but it's funny that so many acted like we'll have nothing without him.

Baker is a great example because he was pretty good in Cleveland. But Jimmy Haslam is such an incompetent boob, they decided to get rid of him in favor of a very expensive rapist, who isn’t any good.

He was starting to be not very good in Cleveland, but that's because the team sucked and good QBs can't save bad teams.

Cleveland has been a dumpster fire for many years. Haven't had a adequate QB since the Brian Sipe and Bernie Kosar era's. Joe Flacco got off the couch and led the Browns to playoffs last year, that was just a fluke..

He's probably the favorite to start next to Carter. He actually played pretty well after Pili went down but seemed to hit a wall later in the season that he never bounced back from. I wouldn't be surprised if Carter and Telander both take a big step forward next season. Spillman could easily start over Telandar if he can handle everything mentally because he's extremely talented. I think the freshman Harmon will make some noise too...he was a standout even in HS games where there were 4* and 5* guys all over the field. I'm honestly more concerned about them getting play at safety. That's the biggest weak spot on defense.
