    Yeah, I'm not buying it. 

    I saw him in the Cotton Bowl run an 80 yard screen for a TD against one of our fastest overall defenses. After he turned the corner at the 50 running laterally from the left to the right side, it took like 3 seconds to cross the goalline. Never seen anything like it in all my years of watching football until his TD tunnel run in the NFL. Put a cape on that man. I was high in the endzone that he ran towards on that play and I could see that sudden acceleration towards me when he turned that corner. Nobody in a football uniform can run that fast-but it damn sure happened.

    Bo Jackson was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime athlete. Without a doubt.

    But he was not faster than Usain Bolt, and he was not .2 of a second faster than Willie Gault. 

    Bo Jackson says silly things. What was the latest - that he'd run for 3000 yards in today's NFL?

    Just out of curiosity,  if anyone knows.   What is the fastest  40 time ever recorded for an NFL prospect?

    4.22..Bengals- John Ross

    Bo Jackson  4.12 though he says electronically it was 4.13.

    Can you guess what Potty Mouth Shakespeare would have interrupted with "Oh yeah?  I did that running backwards with a cigar in my mouth.  Why don't you knuckleheads get back to endorsing dime a dozen linemen like Joe Thomas for round 1 again!"

    Wasn't quite 80 yards from LOS, but it was a screen behind it. Watch Superman.

    He is the guy I wanted them to take in round one.     This guy is a torpedo.  LIke a Cobra Missile. 

    As I commented to my pal.a guy with safety+ speed that plays LB.  Guy who can cover wrs over the middle. Any comparisons to Dick Butkus are hallucinations. And he did win the Butkus award.  🙂

    Dude there are a bunch of centers on the board. A bunch. They love Meinerz. You act like the Steelers are a shit show on the offensive line. 

    Because they are...  Draft a guy who shows some talent to be a center, Pouncey- he ain't. We should start a pool on which game Ben goes on IR....

    Pouncey was down right bad last season and far from great the season prior.  Villanueva the same and A LOT of people from outside the fan base think this means the line will experience a regression.  I frankly think the line improves with their departures and Green is the perfect pivot in a ZBS.  The article i'm about to link is from PRE-DRAFT so there is no "bias" even tho the depot is incredibly unbiased when the dust settles.

    EDIT: Green has a RAS score of 9.24.

    So watching some Auburn clips and Anthony Schwartz clips and Schwartz had some decent hands too with that speed.  
     

    I think we have a steal.

    The BROWNS have 6 picks tomorrow FWIW, might be an important day 3 in this loaded draft.

    I put the O/U we actually use for picks at 4.5...

    ... and I'm taking the Under.

    That was a pretty close O/U at 4.5.

    Oh the actual amount of ⛏️ picks was 5...... barely but still OVER.    Pretty well done BROWNS FO.

    Absolutely, for sure.  You don't draft OL in the 3rd and 4th round and expect them to play like Orlando Pace right out of the gate. 

    Uh huh- Najee Harris = Barry Sanders. Frothingslosh = Travis Kelce,  Kendrick Green = Quenton Nelson,  Dan Moore = Anthony Munoz, Buddy Jonson = Ray Lewis...  Just stop...

    Well, they are younger players than the guys they are to replace....but will they be better?  I mean, sure a young  center is going to be better than the  worn out, now departed Pouncey, but does anyone expecthim  to play at Pouncey Prime level?

    Moore is not a center and last time I looked Harris was a RB.

    I see I'm behind the times- your stud A&M Punter was drafted in 2020.  🙂  But his punting average went way down in the NFL, probably coached to kick nonreturnable moon balls...  FWIW, our guy- The Scottish Hammer actually has a better punting average than Mann does in the NFL...
