    I'm really excited to see Boston and Concepcion this season, and hopeful that Bond progresses well.

    With any luck it will be Sanders throwing to them....

    And I'm afraid that if Sanders proves he is better than Watson, then Haslem will doggedly stick with Watson to prove losing all those draft choices was justified.

    If it's close, Sanders should start.

    If Watson legitimately is better, he should start.

    I don't think so. I think that after calling Watson a swing and a miss this past winter, Haslam would prefer to see Sanders be the starter in order to find out if he can get his Manning next draft...or not. I honestly think he'd rather be able to put the whole Watson thing behind him. But Haslam is a flicked man...so ya never know.

    I've read this back to myself 3 times now. Still haven't been able to come up with a logical scenario with real life application.

    Makes sense if you think of the logic it took Haslem to take JFF because a homeless guy told him he should do so.

    I don't believe that's at all why Haslem drafted Manziel though.

    He drafted Manziel for the glitz. He paid Bill Parcells 100 grand to evaluate the draftable QB's. Parcells said, Whatever you do don't draft Manziel. Haslam is a dope.

    So who told him to trade away all those draft choices for Watson?

    Good question. My best guess would be that he asked Berry something like, What the hell can we do about our QB position. Resulting in Berry researching options and presenting them to his boss. And since the Rams had just demonstrated with the trade of Goff for Stafford and subsequent super bowl victory, that may have been the path chosen.

  • While he wasn't the one that fucked up his gap responsibility, this is a reminder - DON'T be the nickel in this play.

    You get THAT CLEAR then you're CLEAR for takeoff!

    I was unable to as well. Here's what stopped me (below) after I clicked on the play arrow:

    BA-BOOMBA! This guy not only shocked, located and shed - he also made the tackle immediately. That was a pretty informative way of the DT saying we're closed here without needing to say a word. Like the GREAT Paul Brown once said "When you win say little. When you lose say even less..."

    Thanks for the informative videos TJ!

    Might be a post that requires twitter.

  • If you wondered 'Why?' when it comes to the Browns taking EMW from Toledo. It isn't just that he's a great athlete.

    • Coach Kehres at Toledo ran a quarters based defense with a LOT of weakside (weak 3) safety rotations.

    • Coach Rutenburg is coming from an ATL DEF that played a TON of 2hi shell and weakside (weak 3) safety rotations

    The Dirty Birds defensive blueprint and how they valued the pairing of Jessie Bates + Xavier Watts tells us a great deal about what I expect to see more of come training camp.

  • I remember wanting the Browns to take Watts.

  • TBB community! Brainy Ballers is working hard to put the final touches on our fantasy football app before the upcoming season starts.

    It's a bit different than what you're used to. It amounts to a dynasty league but played in a manner similar to the stock market. Think - combining Robinhood + your favorite fantasy football app.

    Tossing in some screenshots.

    We're looking for beta testers in the next couple days. If this seems like something you're interested in, please DM or @ me your email address and I'll make sure you get an invite.

    Thanks,

    - The BB team
