Good to see you here. Been wondering when you'd check in. Getting close to pre-season so this is as good a time as any.

Heat wave has set monthly high daily average records in central Texas for May, June and now working hard on July. Down to one day a week allowed to water dying grass during the worse drought since 2011 which set all kinds of records.

EDIT: My daughter has been taking Spanish lessons on line for a couple of months and has gotten very good at it. She tells me she wants to practice on me when she gets to the end. I told her now I would have to start the BBC Spanish course if I want to keep up with her sharp mind. I got to practice a few days when we had painters in the house from Mexico. Funny how some phrases come instantly back that I haven't used in years like, "No te preocupes por eso."?

Oh yes I see most of Europe like here in the States are going through some record heat.

And read any good books lately to pass the heat ?

I'm more about history podcasts and videos. Just finished listening a 7h podcast about McArthur's Japan post WWII.

Excellent. I completed The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich using Audible this year. Parallels on how using the same lies continually got Hitler in total control.

BTW in the Spanish phrase above I never knew there was an "s" at the end of "preocupes" until I looked it up. Venezuelans drop those "s" es on most words ending in "s". Or as my wife's college Spanish professor once told her, "You learned your Spanish in Venezuela didn't you. I can tell because you eat all your "s" es."  LOL!?

That's pretty interesting. 

My grandfather, grandmother and dad lived in Japan for a short stint in the early 50s. (And Formosa/Taiwan before that)

I agree 100%.

There's really no practical need to do something like this. I swear to dog if he blows out his knee or his bunghole doing something silly like this, I will be one salty bitch.

"You can label Chubb “That Dude,” “Certified Dawg,” “Stud,” or anything else currently in vague.

Just don’t take a straight on tackling angle to get in his way".  ?

I've watched Todd Gurley run track in HS...?  but not like this Georgia Dawg ..  

I'm guessing no flexing tsunami bars was missed in his new contract... damn scary squat ups!

Oh God it sure reminds me of my days as a lifter.....but not near in Chubb's league.   He is one awesome athlete. 

In high school when I was out for football we lifted after school every day M-F even after I had a knee injury just as part of the team.

My buddy and I didn't have a last period so we'd get in first.....

......hit the Toledo !  The big Toledo meat scale, the first thing you'd do.  Write your weight on the chart then.....Hit the rotation  a standard rotation of weights at stations.  After that you'd be free to work out on agility drills, other weights or whatever.   My dad would pick us up between 4 and 5pm, what a good time, and you were in shape.

I kept on a weight routine for years afterwards even working down the mill.

Off season workouts that delicate balance between getting as strong as you can/need to be and getting ready to put the uniform on.

I'll assume Chubb knows what his limits are preparing for that brutal NFL 17 game season.   

---------------

.....oh I wish they'd cut it back to 14 or 15 games.  But no way on that with the money-maker 17 games AND the owners want 18 games screw the players and their bodies.  Even the linemen get beat to death as iis,  I can't imagine going through that ordeal before  the playoffs.   Oh well.....

Thanks!  

So our newly drafted WR won't be ready for training camp's opening Bell.  -  poopys!

That stinks, definitely want to see him get as many reps as possible. 

I have some concern about how long it is going to take for the offense to get clicking on all cylinders. Some new faces, some questions obviously about availability.

The offense, of course is the big question mark because two of the three most concerning position groups are on that side of the ball.  QB & WR.  Fortunately, Chubb can squat 600 lbs.  He may have to be a lot of the offense.  Until we can wade through the QB situation, the D is going to have to play quite well.

Gumpy's top Pre Camp Gripes// excluding QB

1.)  Center: The battle is between Nick Harris and Ethan Pocic..  iron sharpens iron right?

2. Defensive tackle: Both starting defensive tackle jobs are up for grabs.. let's not hand out a center position?

3. Slot CB: Greg Newsome II was not drafted to play slot CB.. he is now... Greedy/AJ Green/Emerson Jr who's CB3/4?

4. Slot WR.. Jakeem Grant or Anthony Schwartz will now try on the Landry slot cleats, while David Bell may not see Brissett QB reps? Is Wims or Weston the sleeper? 

5. MIKE LB.. My hopes? Jacob Phillips..or does the role belong to Anthony Walker Jr. Joe Woods?

6. I'd also expect RT Jack Conklin to go to the PUP list ..Can Jedrick Wills & Chris Hubbard get around the padded camp injury land-mines? ?

[Dutch Oven]

Am I remembering this wrong, or were the Browns supposedly interested in drafting WR John Metchie, from Alabama in last year's draft?

Well, he was just diagnosed with leukemia.
