A lot of that seemed like a reach but the last line is gospel. Fixing the OL for real is obvious but Anarumo's got to get his side of the ball back on track for it to matter.
williams is a dumbfuck, that aside, "fixing" the OL i think is a bit exagerated at this moment, Volson is a human trashcan of a talent, aside from that we have a very solid group, Nice guy and all, Volson is always the first one to help up the player the guy he was supposed to block tackled. but if we can upgrade there im fine with who we have, Jonah being the wild card, i know he wants to leave, i have a feeling his offers may possibly lead him back here. coming off a few poorly graded seasons with the reputation our OL room has, will not net him huge paydays i dont think.
but volson fucking is terrible.
The defense was behind the 8 ball this year, lost a ton of veteran leadership and the new veterans we brought in were so bad they got benched (Scott) so striclty just having te young guys having the experience and an offseason to grow theyll be better as a squad, we need to replace cheeto as the starting CB, he can be a extra guy coming on, but he got torched off and on all season.
i think first round has got to be CB unless some free agent falls in our lap.1 hour ago, TigerJ@w said:Because Zac didn't try to run the ball for one. How do you know if you can or cannot do it if you don't run the ball. I agree though in that it all starts up front on both sides. We have screamed this for Decades but, the Bengals love the Flash. We all know they have ignored the front lines.
well we were palying fuckboi ball early with Joes calf issue, then we were just losing all the time o running got ignored. i have minimal concerns about that. we DID fail at it, so you are technically correct, but i think the list of reasons behind it are probably acceptable.

a first round TE would be the dumbest fucking pick in the history of football.
these next few months are going to be a shit show of slowpokes shaving any TE there is in our draft spots.
OUR TE group produced: 84 Receptions, 668 yards, and 4 TD's, on a team that needed them to stay in and block most of the year when burrow as calf injured, ran through injuries to the TEs and finished off with a QB who had never really played before.
there is no more wasted pick on this roster aside from QB, K, and MAYBE Safety, than a TE.
pick value vs potential reward is dogshit. there was 1(one) 1,000 yard receiving TE this season. and only one had more than 6 TD's.
With how shitty volson is, with us not likely able to keep all these WR's, with the CB room needing some big help, with likely needing to replace Reader, the mere thought of a TE in even the first three rounds seems batshit insane to me.
Gimme:
1. CB/WR
2. WR/CB (whichever we didnt get in 1)
3. OL
4. DT
5. OL
if there is a game changer Safety somehow id be open to that as well to put next to Dax, but im also fine watching Battle grow into his role.

Nuggets are on a nice roll now.
I like the fact that the bench is stepping up.
Watson Strather and Braun providing sold minutes.
Braun has been so up and down this year, they seem to be having him looking to expand his game during the regular season, its making fans frustrated but when its playoff time he is back to a Dunk & Defend role id imagine. Strawther now injured gonna miss some time. Watson is having a good time. Fun to watch him grow as a player this year, finally. he is crazy young still.

Road/Home back to back game, back to back games are the worst sports product in any league. Teams are something like 35% win percentage on back to backs. and even worse on back to backs with travel. Game ends at 11pm local tim in golden state, land home at 4AM, get to homes at 5AM. 14 hrs before another game starts.. basically go to sleep wake and play again.
its absolutely horrible. Nuggets have played more back to backs than anyone in the NBA. also no one on the nba has still palyed more games than them, some still as many as 5 fewer games played.
absolute crime of a schedule.Beat the brakes off the pistons tonight, Cunningham was ruled out in the second qtr even ... now 2 days off.

SGA has become one of the best players in the league.
Should be a fun watch game with the Joker leading them to a win.
sloppy defense, got the last second L.
smacked around the Mavs like they were nothing. that was fun to watch.
then beat the Raptors last night.
sweet ass NBA scheduling with a Road home back to back with a 18 hr gap for travel even on xmas day, @ Hornets sunday then at home against warrios monday at 12:30 mountain time.

i was on team lose a bunch of game, i just wanted to miss the playoffs, HOWEVER.
with Jake being a potential hot commodity and us haveing is ERFA right, he in a trade could make up the difference in draft pick range for us no problem.
so now im just thinking, win as much as you can, young guys get the work, anything but the first place schedule is fine, we are better than most first place teams, so even the second place schedule is an improvement

That is the only goal they should be working towards. Tell the players what’s up or don’t, it’s not like they’ll know horrible plays are being called on purpose because the play calls are terrible anyways. They’ll think it’s another Sunday.

Seems the NBA doesn't want them to run away from the pack.
The West is loaded with top teams but
not on Nuggets level.
Eventually they'll pull away.
yea they had so far this season:
The most back to back games in the league
the most games played in the league
the most road games in the league
the most road back to backs in the league
the most travel overnight back to backs in the league.
and the toughest opponents in the league
going forward now, they ahve the fewest back to backs, fewest road games, and easiest schedule.
last nights win vs the Nets put them in second place in the west. They are behind the timberwolves.
wolves had the opposite schedule issues of the nuggets, in every category i listed that are the other end of it. so NOW they get the tough road and shit travel games.
nuggets should be in first palce by XMAS and be unlikely to lose it.
none of that counting murray has played 9-10 total games,. KCP been out, AG been out, jokic tossed twice (the ejection the other night made national headlines for its stupidity vs the bulls) when bulls fans are booing the refs about ejecting a nugget you know you fucked up.

rockets are playing out of their minds early, especially on defense, they were the best defense ranking in the league for a while.
the rockets will fall off and may even miss the playoffs though.
onto OKC tomorrow.

fun game, first game we went to in almost two weeks. Jeff greens return was supposed to get his Ring, postponed it till next friday when houston returns. Green wore some chrome Jordan 11s in the first half. they were amazing. I like jeff green a lot, but his on court performance was easy to replace. he and Deandre jordan are best friends, so they were fun to see on and off the court.
NBA fucks the nuggets AGAIN for i think the 5th back to back this weekend @ suns and @ kings.

Nuggets really miss Jamal Murray .
yea aside from Jamals solo scoring ability, his 2 man game with Jokic is unmatched, no one can quite do it the same, or even close.
the bench is so damn young its sloppy and trial and error.
luckily some trash teams coming up. but you never know in the nba. the nuggets have issues with the speedy athletic young teams that have no specific star or offense to defend. like the pelicans, and houston.
but teams like the warriors, clippers, mavs, are easier for them to tend with.
Will be a close call if Jokic can catch magic in triple doubles this season or not.
The Nuggets are similar to the bengals in that they have a bunch of young awesome human beings on hte team who seems to want to stick around, and not go chasing money or fame somewhere.
nice thing with the nba, also, is that contracts are the same when youre a certain level star, max, super max, etc, and current holding team can do extra years or have perks but the money is the same for the most part.
Murray injury has a silver lining, he wont be eligible to make an All star or all NBA missing so many games, so he cannot get a super max, just the max, which saves 10+mil helping them pay others and not going even deeper into luxury tax.

OG
DT
TE
Let’s see the names we will all soon be familiar with!
im not sure id draft any of those positions in the first 2 rounds honestly.
id go DB and WR
boyd and higgins deals are up, boyd should be cheap he got a #2 WR deal, he may be cheaper to keep than he currently costs, but Tee i cant imagine we keep.
Cheeto's deal is up and he will be 29, so maybe a 1-2 year deal, hilton has one year left, and its at 7+ mil.
Turner can likely replace hilton, i guess.
is Battle the future at Safety? Hill is great, do we need another.
It would be hard to pass up McKinstry, Nabars, Wiggins, etc.
Im not against an OL, but some weapon replacement may be needed drastically, and some upgrades in the secondary is also probably not a bad idea. Id be down for DJ Reader to come back if he wishes at a reasonable price.

how has it been like 4 years talking about drafting OL as if its some magical fix.
what world are yall living in?
do you think nfl teamsa re just slaying in the draft?
how many teams do you think have 5 good linemen?
here is some sweet draft data for you.
this is even harsher data than i used when i did my OL data for first two round picks. of which 30% made it to a second contract at all.
but go off i guess...
def spend both first two round picks on linemen, with the ENTIRE NFL LEAGUE AVERAGE FOR SUCCESS, we will have a 30% chance of landing a starter worth keeping when the rookie deal ends.
i mean there are several articles about this and several more about why this is with Linemen.
how do so many people just keep pretending none of that is true and available data.

been wild how they are winning dispite the lineup and rotation shekups last few games. jokic typically was a rotation of: playif first qtr until 2min left, came back 8 minutes left in second to finish half, then repeat for 3rd/4th qtr.. he played full first and i think full 4th or close to it.
julian Strawther shot the lights out then was cold next game. he is getting rookie minutes which is very few unless he is on fire, he was in a tornado against the warriors. they are sso clever on offense he was lost and allowed 6-8 cake points off wide open layups. the warriors actions on offense are bananas to get steph shots, disguising picks and screens to setup the next phase. not many rookies would have stood a chance.
honestly to get that lesson and get blown up and still pull. win is HUGE. usually learning games liek that are L's, you cant give up 8 free points to a team like that and win too often.
nice to have the real MVP out there to make up for it.
Collin Gillespe filling in for Jamal did much better in his second game, he is too small to defend almost anyone though, Reggie Jackson keeping his role as point on the second team rotation is nice. suck not having a better scorer out with him. May need to stagger MPJ even more with that second team, he is shooting 50% as of last few games from 3.
the second squad is gonna be very hot and cold this month without jamal. Then jamal getting back into game shape for 2-3 weeks after he is back is gonna suck too.

Great combine frontcourt.
hopefully Murrays injury isnt serious, left with a hammy issue didnt return.. luckily porter went nuts, he is 9/18 from 3 in the last two games..
I have an AG painting in the works at the moment, he has a signing next week.
already have jokic painting signed, MPG painting signed, have a murray but not yet signed, and the AG on the way..
such a fun team. opposing fans get AMPED when they get a 4-6 point lead, and if there is more than 40 seconds left nuggets fans arent concerned. its never if we will win, its how we will win.
been fun for sure.

the thought crossed my mind today that i wanted the ravens to win it so all their decent players that are free agents get fat paydays from other teams and they lose a bunch of key players.
cowboys would be horrible.
