Defensive Position Analysis - Long article, today's recommended read.  Good nuggets at every level.

Posted before the Clowney signing.

After the signing you can put that position back in the "A" territory somewhere and I think Winfrey is going to be a major upgrade on the IDL playing next to either one of those premier edge guys. I can see a major improvement in turnover ratio with extreme pressure on opposing QBs and a far better QB not likely to be so prone to it as was Baker in 2021.

Pretty good overall assessment on Emerson. I'm just not sold that we should have taken him in the 3rd. Quality WRs will eat him up.

I'll give that a watch after I'm done with my film on him.  I almost never watch someone else's work until I'm done with my own - removes outside influence, walking into a prospect with a blank canvas.

I highly doubt Miss. St. ever has a good defense under Mike Leech.

OK back to football. Here's our top draft pick at work against Auburn's Seth Williams. He told him what he was going to do!! ?? 

MSU's O bailed them out that day 43-34, but could not do so against Bama, Memphis or LSU. They really did not have a very good defense in 2021. 

We can only hope this turns out to be a good pickup.

Transactions & Draft day trades.. Became Whom? and Browns future picks..

RAMS Round 5 future 2023 (Troy Hill) 

VIKINGS Round 4 future 2023 (move from #118 to #156) And-- 2023 Round 3 Comp pick (GM Mensah)   

HOUSTON Round 6 future 2024 (D.Watson)

For all the picks the Browns gave up for Watson (and the doom and gloom that has come with it) the Browns are in pretty good shape draft-wise next season, considering. 

While they have no 1st rounder, of course, they have (1) 2nd rounder, (1) 3rd rounder, (2) 4th rounders, (2) 5th rounders, (1) 6th rounder and (1) 7th rounder.

If you actually play you just don't plug in, and then act like you're actually playing it.  Mine is far more beat up, it sat in the attic unused for a couple decades...  Kicked myself in the ass when my semi-pro neighbor I'd it for me, and I found out how much a mint condition one was worth.  To play it left handed, I only had to reverse the strap pin, wham bar & of course the strings. ALA Hendrix. Lefty Doyle Bramhall is one of the few guys I've ever seen who could just flip a right handed guitar upside down and play it decently. Neighbor John- who was good enough to play in a band in Las Vegas  for years, had his mind blown trying to play on a left handed guitar for the first time.      

Looks like it was almost based on the 1962 Gibson SG

BTW, my guitar is a double cutaway Gretsch Corvette.  I've picked up a White Stratocaster, but Mr. Stubby Fingers can't even reach the top couple frets.   

Let me post it on youtube later after all the Mothers day festivities are over...

My guitar is perfectly suited to me. I can play along very well with the best guitarists in the world, either electric or acoustic. ??

I'm OLD, sorry, and with mjp... my hero is Jimi Hendrix, the unattainable paradigm of us left handed wannabe guitar players.     

Um yeah, that's pretty good.  But for those who have never seen it, MHO is this is a better version. Tom's runs in this are mind boggling. Most guitarists would happily donate body parts to be able to play 1\2 this good...  

And if you don't have the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll HOF DVD in your collection- you damn well should.  OMG where to start... Aretha Franklin, Crosby Stills & Nash, U2 with Fergie and Mick Jagger,  Simon & Garfunkel, Metallica with Ozzie Osborn. Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy...   Though in all honesty, the Ghost of Tom Joad was one of the highlights.    Sorry for going OT.....

If you've got a problem with RATM, then you've got a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate.

Speaking of Tom Morello, his live performance with Springsteen on 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. Holeeeee shit.

I second that.

I actually prefer the Rage version to the original.   And as much as I love some old school, I like the Rage version of Housin' over the EPMD version.
