Quay Walker is a stain. This isn’t the first time he’s gotten in a cheap shot on someone that’s not an opponent.

He should have played for Sarkisian.

More like Caffeine than Nicotine, which is really really hard to stop taking. Caffeine is "uncomfortable" for a few days to stop taking, but it's nothing like the withdrawals from Nicotine.

Several years ago, I stopped caffeine for about a year and only had a slight headache the 1st 2 to 3 weeks but I never craved it. I stopped dipping 10 years ago and I still think about it everyday. I catch myself checking out Red Seal and Skoal prices when I'm at the store. If I smell someone dipping wintergreen, it really ramps up my urge to buy a can.... it literally makes my mouth water. It's really a hard habit/drug to quit.

So happy the Lions won that game.

Adarius Redmond’s thread staying on the main page is truly odd.

Can you imagine what things are gonna get bumped during the lull of the offseason?

I have had patients prefer Kratom. It’s a “natural pain medicine.”

The one thing that I would caution you about is that people have died mixing Kratom and narcotics. We (as a group) make our patients choose because of that. No condemnation, but we can’t prescribe the opiate medication if you also are taking Kratom due to the potential for a deadly combination…

As far as marijuana goes, it’s the same in that we have to make people choose. Since the Federal Government requires periodic urine drug screens, and it is still illegal in Texas, we have no choice but to terminate the opiate agreement with repeated positive tests for THC. I don’t care, but won’t lose my license for anyone.
If you’re having a procedure that requires anesthesia, please let the anesthesia personnel know that you use either Kratom or marijuana. It can change the anesthesia medication that they choose for you.

Not trying to scare you away from either, just look into the ramifications of anything that you decide to try.

What about regenerative tx? BMAC/PRP? Thoughts?

Maybe

Well I'm in my final up ten points. Both have one player to go in the game tonight!View attachment 529947

Neither one of you exactly lit it up, LOL

To me, whether or not a player who transfers out of UT is a VFL completely depends on the player. If they remain supportive of and positive toward TN, they are a VFL.
If they don't, then they obviously are not a VFL.

Agreed. I think a good example is this: Tiyon Evans is 0% VFL. But you could make an argument that Ty Chandler is VFL. Chandler did 4 years through tough times at UT. Spent his last year of eligibility to go be RB1 at an ACC school, rack up 1k yards and get drafted.

Hence why a week 18 championship is an abomination.

Sounds like it.. oh the OT? Between us and florida.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

They can't pick a QB this year IMO. They don't have the ability to protect him. We will draft a guy in the next year or two.... Just not this year.

Yeah I expect the Titans won't draft a QB unless it's pretty late.

Gonna be a lot of solid QBs with experience on the market. Have even heard some talking heads claiming the new GM (whoever it ends up being) will go after Rodgers.

I'd be fine with Derek Carr for 2-3 years. While they get the OL sorted out.

Also graduated from UT.

VFL to me requires the player to have graduated from the university or to have played here long enough to be draft eligible as a Vol (Henry T imo isn't VFL for this reason).

Listened to, I think, Blaine Bishop on his show talk about the Derek Carr situation when it happened. To most it doesn't make sense to spend that money and trade value on a QB that won't be long-term and doesn't improve your odds any more than Tannehill does. Carr isn't that much better than Tannehill when it comes down to it.

Titans aren't really in a position to get a QB right now. If the O line and WR group was a strength then they could target Rodgers or draft a Top 10 QB and possibly be competitive next year. I think rebuild starts now though. You can keep Tannehill as a placeholder or let him go and save the salary cap space for offensive line. You can run with Dobbs and Malik for a year and see if either becomes good QBs while you rebuild around them. They're cheap and you already have them. If they don't cut it, draft a top QB in 24.

Overall I'd be more than happy to see a more Seahawks approach where the cap space is used to improve the OL and D and you try to make it work with a cheaper QB or a rookie deal. I even think Dobbs could be as serviceable as Tannehill has been, not like he's been a world beater here.

But if you can land Carr he is younger than Tannehill and an upgrade as well. Carr has more yards, higher completion %, more TDs and less INTs than Ryan and has done so playing in 3 less games. And he did that on worse teams than Ryan has played on.

I'm fine with keeping Tannehill for another year or two unless you can bring in someone much less expensive, no sense in being saddled with a cap hit. But the o line needs rebuilt over the next two years and then we need to draft or sign our QB.

I would like to see some data on how well portal prospects and teams that rely on portal prospects pan out. I think people celebrating over portal rankings is ridiculous. Shouldn't even be a thing.

The portal can help a team a lot. Hard to quantify that, I think. You don’t know how that same team would be without the transfers

HT would not be a VFL no matter how long he had stayed. Going to AL disqualified him immediately.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

On another note…..anyone ever thought what Coach Vitello/Anderson could do with Joe on the bump?? Wonder if he ever threw it?? I cannot imagine…..

The funniest is celebrating their HS ranking as a transfer
