    All hail Soju, alpha male extraordinaire, American hero of the Vietnam War. While stationed in Cambodia, Soju won the Congressional Medal of Honor for single-handedly killing 8,000 gooks and repelling the Tet Offensive. So what if he threw grenades into schools? It doesn't matter because he takes what he wants because he's alpha as fuck. Back stateside in the 80's, he claimed he never suffered from a pussy disease like PTSD, and he toured with Pink Floyd and Van Halen. It was on this tour where he coined the well-known phrase, "I am become Van Halen, Destroyer of hymens." After tiring of the blow and loose women, he returned to his initial love, the study of the game of football. As you'll recall, he was Jim Thorpe's personal trainer back in the day, so take the smartest football mind you can think of and triple it. Soju is even smarter than that. We should all consider ourselves lucky to even be graced with his presence on this forum.

    On behalf of the entire forum, I want to thank you, soju. You've shown us what we all should strive to be.

    Holy awesomeness Vapor! ~ Can you make one about ME!? ...And make it AWESOME TOO! Soju, who's he though?

  • Skrine's play this year has been good enough to earn him some respect, and if he keeps it up that's one more position we don't have to worry drafting a cb, at least not in the first three rounds.

    I know it's an old cliche... but I literally threw up in my own mouth. There isn't one thing you said here that isn't an honest admission of being a complete douchebag on every level. But honesty is good, I guess.

  • Wow. Weirdest wrong turn on a thread in a while. Blech.

    Anyhoo, Grossi was asked best surprise on the Browns (this morning). He said with Hoyer out, it's obviously Skrine now. He's playing that well. Last game was fantastic.

    He's got it all: Speed, aggression, great tackler, improving technique and ball skills. He has so much to work with (mostly the 4.3 speed), simply being forced into action almost guarantees he'll be at worst very good. It's fun watching it happen.

    you dont know what you're talking about more than half the time though... you're just being a moron most the time. when negativity is justified than its ok, you just like bringing attention to yourself

    Wrong again on both accounts. If being critical of an incredibly average team that has glaring weaknesses is "being negative" then so be it.

    they are in first place by themselves at the quarter poll u fuck. Which team are u currently front runnin these days SukFuk.

  • For the stats part, Skrine has 25 solos, second to DQJ by only 2! He already has 9 PDs, which is crazy high for 5 games. At that pace, he'd have like 29 which would probably be some kind of record.

    Part of it is having Joe Haden on the other side, Skrine's gonna get more opportunities... but he's showing up huge. Two brasses in a row said he had legit starting potential and it's coming true.

    Love Skrine, Robertson, and Gipson. Great finds.

    well, that must make you feel good.

    i worked with plenty of civilian gov't workers while i was IN the army.

    not one was such an asshole as you.

    265k? yeah, i don't think the president makes that.

    what are you logistically doing? sucking off moon dim sum?

    Don't worry about the specifics of what I do. I work in TOP SECRET department and my contract strictly forbids me answering "lead in" questions. You are asking lead in questions. Don't ask me again.

    Enjoy your pathetic life while I earn more in a year that probably takes you 10 to accumulate.

    yea u know military people too moongums... And they have read ur posts and called bs. I'm sure Ull go on to tell everyone how we should be kissing ur ass and yadayada that we are lucky to have the top of the C avg high school students protecting us against pot dealers and all. No body is impressed and most of all nobody is intimidated of a self proclaimed "alpha" whatever.

    I will refer to u as gomer pile of shit for here on out. Now drop and give me..... Ya know what just go away Forrest

  • Military people are kind of like, uhm.... people. Some are great, some not to great, and some are total dickheads. Joining the military isn't exactly and automatic seal of approval. Not anymore than becoming a cop.

  • And the ones that demand a thank you for VOLUNTERING. Ill thank the last guy that was drafted. He DESERVES a thank u.

    Not that I'm not thankful for the humble military folk

    i agree all the players you mentioned are great finds and playing at a high level. but i would still love to see the FO throw a couple of picks at the defensive backfield positions, even if it's just for depth. it'd be nice to get someone over 6 ft. tall back there so when we play the likes of megatron, johnson, jones or even a roddy white they can stand tall next to them.

    QB MIGHT be our #1 need next year with hoyer out with an injury that could affect his career and a DA clone starting for us now (let's hope i'm wrong about that).

    STILL HAVE TO FIX THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE OL THO!

  • He's talking about his father...people. anyone as successful as he claims to be doesn't speak/post like this douchebag does.

  • Back to topic, I dogged on Skrine every time he touched the field last year. The humble pie tastes amazing. I am beyond impressed with how Buster has busted his ass.

  • From dog pound daily:

    "It is easy to forget that Skrine was drafted basically as a track athlete who played a little corner. He was extremely athletic and had incredible straight line speed but he had no clue what he was doing as a corner as he moved onto the NFL. There were some articles that projected based on certain athletic traits, that Skrine could become a great corner, but it was going to take time. It has."

    You know I didn't know that about him, and that makes his recent success even more impressive. Gotta wonder if he had 4 years of college play as a CB how good he'd be right now.

    OK, I will follow your lead and make pure analysis and use blunt language.: You are either a pessimist at heart or are just trying to get people's goat with your negative comments. Either way you are a fucking dumbass. And I am a liberal and I have no problem if you are offended.

    And if others are beta males...then you may be the omega male.

    I agree right back, Mik. We should add to the cornerback group... a guy with size. Depends on free agency, but we need to upgrade at WR, RB, and CB in addition to the QB. We have shitloads of money and you'd prefer to draft the QB and RB (get one in round 3?)... so it might be CB and WR in free agency.

    That said, it was nice to see Little resurface a little.

    I need to stop talking about Hoyer because it's bumming me out. So... Buster Skrine? He outplayed Haden on Thursday night. He was great covering AND tackling. Had an amazing game. Kid is really shooting up the charts. He's a keeper.

    Glad you posted this. Skrine was awful last year, but he has had two darn good games in a row.

  • I hated on Skrine during his entire tenure, but he's really shutting me up this year. The guy is having a beast of a year so far with a ton of pass deflections, tackles and a pick.
