  1. I mean I agree to an extent... I guess I was just pushing back on these guys being the 01 Ravens or some shit. 3 potential 1st round picks on the DL can mask a lot of other deficiencies. I just feel like if those guys don't absolutely destroy our OL (which is very experienced and has at least one 1st rounder as well) then we have the significantly better athletes and football players nearly everywhere else when talking O vs D. QE has normally balled out in games like this, and if he is dropping dimes then I just don't see how we aren't scoring, and more snaps should equal better results for the offense as Michigan's D wears down (assuming their O doesn't come alive.)
  2. Am I taking crazy pills? Better athletes than 2022 Alabama? You guys are fucking cooking this morning. If I’m Michigan I maintain a high shell and run a variety of zone pressures which have historically given our OL trouble and try to force Texas to put together drives to be you. We won’t be able to run on their interior and with zone pressure all eyes will be in the backfield to attack horizontal plays, etc. Helm, Niblack, Wingo will all be useful due to their size/speed combos this weekend if that is the way Michigan wants to roll. if Quinn and the OL are adequate with identifying and picking up the multiple pressure looks, I just don’t see how we don’t move the ball consistently.
  3. Umm didn’t Ewers light them up prior to get pile driven into the ground and going out of the game? I’m not going going into the game thinking we will put up 40, but what exactly about this years Michigan defense is warranting the title of best Ewers will have ever played. They have a first round CB and two very good DTs. What about the other 8 guys? What about their linebackers and safeties in space? We aren’t going to line up and run it down there throat anyway. We are going to spread them out, make them run horizontal and then try to hit them over the top, or just let our guys work in space. The challenge on offense will be if we can identify and protect their multiple blitz schemes. If we can do that most of the time, we will move the ball.
  4. Did he just use a clip of a successful Fresno completion against Michigan to illustrate the dangers of throwing the same route combo against the same coverage with a significantly better QB and WR core?
  5. Aren’t like 7 of the defensive starters new this year?
  6. 45-17 Texas 283 yards for the WR rooms
  7. Just got mom out of the hospital back into the house for hospice. She has had two ostomies due to blockages that were tumor related and her oncologist says she too weak/frail for another round of chemo. Been about 14 months since stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis. She was on a regular colonoscopy schedule and was actually schedule for one two days before her diagnosis. It’s been a tough year and half, and going to be tough through the end. Fuck cancer.
  8. We had a supply problem with lower rates... its is going to get worse now. Although it is ultimately a local issue, nationally, we have a zoning issue. Zoning/entitlement needs to be changes/altered to allow for denser housing development nationwide. Every developer in the world would rather put down three (3) cheaper units as opposed to one more expensive unit. It's simple a matter of buyer pool and mitigating risk. Driving down the cost and the hurdles to build more units will ultimately lead to more units, which will drive down the cost (flatten the rate of increase). More housing units need to be built, and allowing for more density ultimately drives down the costs for development, while supplying the units the system needs. ^^^ What that guy up there said.
  9. This sounds like a ground lease so the 25-year term, is actually rather short. Theoretically, they are leasing the ground and if the ground lease isn't renewed you the vertical improvements would revert back to the land owner. What kind of renewal clauses are included in the LOI? Although half an acre is too small to support a grocer and retail center.... are they trying to acquire/lease this parcel as part of assemblage? What is the full scale of the project? Is his land going to be used just for parking? I know nothing of land values in Alabama, but the dominate retailers and grocers are always going to drive the market. Does your dad own any other adjacent land to this tract or does this deal encompass all of his holdings? If he owns more, the value of the those parcels are sure to increase significantly with the use being proposed.
  10. Overhead must be massive to still need covid loans

    2024 NFL DRAFT

    Ford and Jones
  12. Yes. GH in his element. His ankles are too fat though.
  13. 2 DTs in back to back drafts. The Jimbo plan
  14. Maybe the latter? I didn't realize how much premium content was posted until I muledicked for a premium account.
  15. I mean a good chunk of the larger sites are owned by developers and absolutely will have vertical mixed-use built on them. Just need the capital markets to loosen a bit.
  16. I lied. Service back in Austin.
  17. I don't have to outrun the eagle, I just have to outrun you carrying your baby.
  18. AJ80 is in the hall baby!! So well deserved!!
  19. We have Nico for another year. Then we can worry about paying him. Assuming he doesn’t flame out next year the dude is going to get paid as a #1. If he produces again, we should be the team to pay and keep him. We have pass rushers, assuming we sign/tag Greenard. We need DB help (speed), we need interior DT help, we need interior OL help (maybe OL health takes care of that), we need WR depth, and we need RB depth/speed.
  20. We have our two edges. We need to resign Greenard. Interior DL, Interior OL, DB (speed) are areas in need of upgrade. That said if Keon Coleman is there at our pick in the 1st, I don’t know how you don’t take him. Lets see how FA goes first and the. Use the draft to gain BPA.
  21. Need some interior OL help. We were down a ton of bodies there this season, but could not move anyone with a quality dline. Shaq Mason was solid, need another proven interior vet to go with the young guys. If we can get a run game going, even if it’s just “average” our offense will be top 5 in the league. Need a player at safety, someone with speed and ball skills. Petrie isn’t it. Had two chances to make plays on the 1st drive of the 2nd half and could do either. He is one dimensional. We need help at DT. Maybe someone like Murphy. We need an interior guy that can get pressure as our ends are going to cause so many step up’s. Need an answer at RB to replace or go with Singletary. I would like to get some more speed at corner as well. We seemed slow on defense. I have confidence we will get more folks willing to play with us on prove it deals just like this year but more and of higher quality. Finally a capable GM, paired with a competent and likable coach, with a franchise QB. The future is bright.
  22. Barron isn’t moving to safety.
