Can't say I agree.
Look at all of that tackling! (to be fair the Falcons secondary was just outraced) I could post myriad of footage of Eagles corners letting running backs have their way with them as well if you'd like. Of course the Eagles have fuck all for linebackers which doesn't help either but why lessen the amount of impact a good tackling DB can have on the second level of your defense? Covering the deep ball is fine but what does it matter if they can't stop a 15 yard gain from turning into a TD?
That's the point I was making!

I wasn't disagreeing with YOU entirely. I think the Asante pick up is a good one for the Falcons considering what you have at corner (I'm not a Dunta fan /at all/).storybook77 said:That's the point I was making!
The point being that when you have the worst defense in the league you can't talk shit.Packers just beat out the Pats for worst total defense by 8 yards!
Also, when you can't win a fucking playoff game at home your team probably isn't as good as you think it is. Even Tebow won at home!

Oh I know. My little swipe at their linebacker corp seemed to go over his head though.
This is at least his second violation of the NFL's drug policy, so he's definitely facing a suspension.But he can still play right? I don't understand. Give him a slap on the wrists and get him on the field. They have other needs.
And I have a better chance of waking up tomorrow as a canadian national than Jahvid Best has a chance of staying healthy.
I wonder what LenDale White is doing..
Preparing chalupas for Fatman probably.

Drew Brees has a better shot of finding the evidence.

How long's the suspension?
Also Seahawks are taking Ingram or Couples if need be. Screw that kid from syracuse
.Drew Brees has a better shot of pulling his head out of the sand.
Blackmon and Martin? I could get behind that Mr Mayock.
That was a draft moderated by Mayock. He hasn't released his mock yet. Those were dopes like Michael Irvin and Marshall Faulk making picks.
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Kiper thinking the Lions will take a reach @ RB in the first round = laughable. First 3 rounds will be DE, LB, OT in come combination. Book it.
Wrong.
IF Leshoure and/or Best still have injury concerns, Kevin Smith is our only other RB and HE has injury concerns.
I'd absolutely LOVE Doug Martin.
Besides, take a look at that list and tell me the 1st-round talent that is left available at 4-3 DE or OT. At that point, if all the wanted positions are gone, you take BPA. Mayock has us taking Upshaw, which I'd be ok with, but I think that's a little high for him.

No, that is his mock. In the one with the dopes, that dumbass Charles Davis had the Panthers taking Trent Richardson. Even though we have DeAngelo Williams. And Jonathan Stewart. And just signed Mike Tolbert. No, that's not enough RBs according to Davis! "All those guys have miles on the odometer! This is a brand new guy!" he says!
Idiot.

Falcons secondary blew it, two guys over pursued and gave Nicks that opening. I remember laughing my ass off at how badly I overrated their secondary (and offense for that matter).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUoyn0E-bjU

The text here implies he wrote this one.

Hey guys, need to ask, is the NFL Network the ONLY option for watching the draft live?
No
Good old Cover 3 with Dunta and Owens bailing out right off the snap. Digs have been owning us on third down for years.Falcons secondary blew it, two guys over pursued and gave Nicks that opening. I remember laughing my ass off at how badly I overrated their secondary (and offense for that matter).
Fuck you, Turkeyneck! Enjoy Scam's backyard.

ESPN is the other. I believe CBS Sports Channel also does analysis on the picks but after they are made.

Alternative is ESPN but NFL Network is generally better in my opinion. Eisen is the better host, Mayock has better insight. Plus it sounds like Eisen will try to stop the picks leaking through their show before the pick is announced as much as possible.
Would you prefer to hear:Hey guys, need to ask, is the NFL Network the ONLY option for watching the draft live?
Chris Berman's stupid catchphrases
John Gruden fellating every player
Mel Kiper/Todd McShay claiming a team nabbed a "steal" after an unexpected player is available late in the first round because team FOs that actually do this for a living evaluated the player differently than these moron analysts
The thing I'm most excited about the draft is that Jerry Angelo isn't making picks for the Bears. First time in a while that the organization can sell optimism heading into the draft. I'm confident Emery can draft impact players who can contribute.
His press conference the other day was very insightful into how he scouts players and assesses the draft.

No CB or S? ehh
Blackmon and Martin? I could get behind that Mr Mayock.
Got me all hot and bothered, my word.
No CB or S? ehh
Of course CB if someone falls there (e.g. Kirkpatrick), but I don't think they will reach.
I remember when I wanted the Steelers to draft him thinking he would be Bus 2.0.I wonder what LenDale White is doing..
Thank God I don't run the Steelers FO! Though I think I am qualified to run the Bungles organization...
Alright bros what is the best Cloud storage at this point? Google drive? Dropbox? Ubuntu 1?
Obviously iCloud for iOS stuff but we're talking cross platform here
iCloud
...
:jnc I don't know honestly. I signed up for Box.com when they were offering 50GB of storage for life for free ($20/month normally) for signing up a few months back, but I don't use it all that often. Considering I'm an Apple slave (MacBook Air/iPhone/iPad combo ftw), I don't really need something other than iCloud.
I have been using Dropbox without complaint, but I can't give an honest opinion comparing it to different services.Alright bros what is the best Cloud storage at this point? Google drive? Dropbox? Ubuntu 1?
Obviously iCloud for iOS stuff but we're talking cross platform here
I basically just use iCloud to backup important shit on my phone, I don't consider it be a serious option for storage unless the only thing you use is an iPad.

Pete Carroll doing draft clues again, this time in the form of movie quotes:
wow, a couple of you are too close for the 1st day of #SeahawksDraftClues... I thought it'd be tougher!

1st of the #SeahawksDraftClues... "Look at all this floor space!" - bunk bed scene from Step Brothers http://t.co/uHHqcGWw
:jncI can't wait till the draft is over.
I honestly believe that sports drafts in general are way too over hyped.

God I hope they don't pull that bullshit where the camera pans to the pick before it's announced this year. Hopefully there was enough public complaints for it to reach their ears.

Thank god!
Sad to hear about Collins, a great loss to the Packers. I'd say I hope he finds work with another team but if his body can't handle playing, not worth it.
Asante not a bad pick up for the Falcons. Curious to see how DRC will do this season without contention for starting.

Curious to see how much his stock does drop. I have a hard time believing that teams have completely removed him off of their board with the level of talent he brings to the table.
ESPNs Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that a number of teams have removed North Alabama cornerback Janoris Jenkins from their draft boards, and Jenkins is not expected to be a first-round pick.
The news comes as far less than a surprise. While Jenkins is a premier talent, off-the-field issues have plagued him several years running, and ultimately teams have deemed him unworthy of the potential headache.
The first three corners expected to be drafted on Thursday are LSUs Morris Claiborne, South Carolinas Stephon Gilmore, and Alabamas Dre Kirkpatrick. Jenkins now seems to be vying with Georgias Brandon Boykin, Vanderbilts Casey Hayward, Montanas Trumaine Johnson, Virginia Techs Jayron Hosley, and UCFs Josh Robinson to be No. 4.
