  1. 1.) Mims is going to be the 1st tackle off the bench this year and should be the started next year at right tackle.

    2.) Kris Jenkins is going to get a lot of snaps rotating with Hill and Rankins

    3.) Burton is going to get a lot of snaps on offense - how often do they go 3 WR sets????  plus he's a capable outside receiver if Higgins or Chase get dinged up and need a break.

    4.) Jackson should be a part of all the short yardage / goal line formations

  2. That's hilarious.  Honest question though....  I don't pay attention to Cowboys stuff online - Guyton didn't have a ton of experience.  Are they getting all the shit for that pick like the Bengals are? 

    If Mims had gone to the Stealers, who were rumored to really like him, he'd have been considered a great pick.  So is the problem with the general perception of Mims or the Bengals?

  3. From that article:

     

    “This guy’s got all the tools -- he’s got great size, he’s got great power,” Saban said. “But it makes you wonder, how did the guy only start 8 [games?] Like, in the SEC championship game, he played only the first 15 plays of the game and then he’s out. Takes himself out. I don’t know what he injured, what he hurt, whatever. But you’ve got to be a little bit more consistent in your performance if you’re going to be a great player and a starter in the National Football League.”  - Nick Saban

     

    How many guys has Saban pushed to play injured in these championship games and they're not quite right or able to properly train to start their NFL careers.  Doesn't he have a reputation for that?  Seems like he's trying to say he's soft to me but I'm not sure I'd put much weight on Saban's opinions of a competitor's player being out of a game due to an injury.

  4. I expect the Bengals to start with 2 away games - Stealers should be up for game 1 (Browns & Ravens last 2 years) and someone like the Panthers.  So, no I think we'll have to winnable games to start off the season.  Plus it's not like everyone else on the team won't be practicing and I don't think Higgins or Hendrickson are going to just sit on the couch all summer eating chips ans salsa non-stop.  I'd expect both of them to come in ready to go.

  5. I wouldn't be surprised if they add more IDL that are better at rushing the passer that they are at stopping the run.  All the analytics are pointing to it being a more successful approach to be better against the pass than it is to be better against the run.  The number of times teams run the ball appears to be trending downward too.  I keep seeing articles all over the place about exactly that.  All of the fancy charts and models show it.

    What if they go with Byron Murphy and someone else like Michael Hall Jr.  That could add a lot of spice to the interior pass rush rotation.

  6. I did a mock draft on a different site that had Joe Alt drop.  Seeing another one makes me wonder if there's something to that possibility.  Probably just the sims being really goofy but there's always a chance it's all of the media blowhards that have been setting the supposed boards that could be wrong.  Right now, I consider it a dream scenario.

  7. Just going back to 2000, you have the following 1st round OL picks:

     

    2018 21 Billy Price C Ohio State
    2012 27 Kevin Zeitler G Wisconsin
    2002 10 Levi Jones T Arizona
    2009 6 Andre Smith T Alabama
    2015 21 Cedric Ogbuehi T Texas A&M
    2019 11 Jonah Williams T Alabama

     

     

    So, two interior guys compared to 4 tackles.  The 2nd round is 1 Guard vs. 3 Tackles:

     

    2003 33 Eric Steinbach G Iowa
    2006 55 Andrew Whitworth T LSU                            
    2015 53
      Jake Fisher
    T Oregon
    2021 46 Jackson Carman
    T
    Clemson

     

     

    What they do draft a lot of high is defensive backs.  Tons of them in the 1st 2 rounds.
