Btw, all that jumping Saquon does will kill him dead in the pros.

Yes, it makes you a great target to get buried!
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
You're are so adorable.
Like anyone actually watches your Barkley videos - or what we all refer to as: "PoG's football porn"
Oh how disgusting!

I loved Atwater in Denver. One of the greatest hitters of all time, any position. Right up there with Ronnie Lott and Troy Polamalu when compared to hard hitting safeties.

Polamalu was not that hard of a hitter. He really wasn't. It just looked that way because he was always flying around with his stupid hair. Oh..he was good...he could make tackles....by grabbing people...and he could get into position to make those grabby tackles....but as a hitter? Not so much. TJ Ward was a harder hitter. Eric Turner was a harder hitter. Ed Reed of the Ravens was a harder hitter. No need to even mention a guy like Jack Tatum or Atwater or Lott....that may be going back a bit further.
And after the rule changes imposed yesterday....it will be Polamalu's grabby style that will be the proper method to tackle if you don't want to get penalized. It will be the hard hitters that will have to changer their ways.

Shurmur, Gettleman drool over Saquon Barkley's potential

ORLANDO -- Giants GM Dave Gettleman has made it clear that he won't necessarily take a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft. Of course, he wouldn't say who else he was considering.
But it sure sounded like he expects Penn State running back Saquon Barkley to be sitting atop his draft board when it's done.
Gettleman, who has been an NFL executive for 20 years and before that a scout since 1986, was practically drooling when he spoke about Barkley at the NFL owners meetings on Tuesday. He said he has very rarely seen a running back with the skills the 5-foot-11, 230-pounder has, which of course is why so many scouts and NFL executives consider him to be the best player in the draft.
"It's unusual," Gettleman said. "I'm telling you, he can string together moves and get in and out of stuff. It's funny, I (watched film of) him right before I came down. He's unique, no doubt about it. He's big, he's powerful, he can step on the gas, he's got different levels of speed. And he catches the heck out of the ball and he sees the blitz pickup stuff.
"So, you know, he's unique."
There's no doubt he is, and both Gettleman and Giants coach Pat Shurmur have said they don't have a problem with taking a running back second overall. For years, the prevailing thought in the NFL was that running backs could be found later, and that building an offensive line was far more important. But a recent run of game-changing running backs - like Dallas' Ezekiel Elliott and Los Angeles' Todd Gurley - has seemingly changed all that.
That's why the Giants could be faced with a very interesting choice if the Browns don't take Barkley with the top pick. The Giants need a quarterback to eventually replace the 37-year-old Eli Manning, and Shurmur admitted he has an "urge" to find a "generational quarterback" for his new team.
But what he's seen out of Barkley might give him a different draft-night urge, too.
"He's equally impressive, like the quarterbacks," Shurmur said. "When you watch his tape there isn't anything he can't do. He's really a pretty good pass protector. That's an important piece. And he can catch the football as well.
"He can do everything you're looking for in a running back, and he's a terrific human being as well."
Gettleman said he's heard that about Barkley too, though the only chance they had to meet was during a formal, 15-minute interview at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis earlier this month. Gettleman said the Giants' plan is to bring in Barkley for one of their 30 official pre-draft visits, so he can get to know him a little more.
"Shame on me if I don't know him," Gettleman said. "I think everybody said he's a great, great human being."
But is he a great enough player for the Giants to pick him at No. 2, despite their need for that "generational quarterback?" It might depend on what the Browns do first, but if Barkley is there, it's clear he'll be in the conversation when the Giants make their pick.

Ya know, that's not the only thing either- I called Derek Carr, Tyrann, and a host of other guys. And you know the funny part- every single time I call for a player, I'm bashed and NEVER ONCE given the benefit of the doubt. Whatever though, it's all good- I'll continue to beat my drum and my tribe will find me.

You said what about Hogan? That's he's a third string no arm lousy QB who's about to be shipped out of town? If you said that, then you'd be correct.

I said we should get Hogan before the draft. We did end up getting him in a round about way. He set a record against the Bengals in his very first and only game.
He was the best QB on the roster last year in training camp, during the season he outperformed Kizer on a daily basis. I said he was the best QB on the roster and he's the ONLY QB still on the roster. So, you can say what you want.
Just because you got you had a shitty time at the game that Hogan started last year, don't take it all out on Hogan. Who were his receivers that game Mark? - that's not rhetorical.
It absolutely kills you to have to give me credit for anything, doesn't it? Oh, first world problems...
-
And for the record you don't know what string QB Hogan is this season.
I fully expect him to be right on Tyrod's heels. He's a warrior.

Don't you be calling me out my name dawg. Pathetic is your attempt at mocking me for calling Barkley for what he is. Pathetic is being so punch drunk for a Quarterback that you can't see the forest for the tress. Pathetic is your attempt at trolling me, without ever adding anything of substance to your own posts.
You see, what I do is poetic. What you do is pathetic. Quite a difference it makes when you actually know what a word means.
Barkley will be the #1 pick of the draft OR he'll be the #2 pick in the draft, it all depends on how smart the Browns are going to play this.

Browns can't draft Barkley.
It would violate his restraining order against you to be in Cleveland.
