    Isaiah Wynn was a first round pick. I was hoping we'd pick him but we passed on him and the Patriots got him. He's very good!

      Thats why Belicheat is the best. He gets the most out of every player or they're gone.
      Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

        And the pundits kept saying “short arms, he’s a guard.”

          Yup - and they said the same thing about Lamp so he never got the chance to be a LT.

            I still think they should try Lamp out at either LT or RT...

                Now that's what I'm talking about. Lackadaisical attitudes towards Covid are putting player's health in danger and periling a multi-billion dollar industry. There have to be penalties with teeth.

                The NFL is ramping up its rhetoric when it comes to COVID-19 protocols.

                A week after the league threatened teams with the loss of draft picks for violating safety measures, the NFL announced that protocol breaks could cost teams wins.

                NFL memo promises harsh penalties

                A league memo sent on Monday reiterated that draft picks are at stake and that violations that require schedule adjustments could result in game forfeiture.


                “Protocol violations that result in virus spread requiring adjustment to the schedule or otherwise impacting other teams will result in additional financial and competitive discipline, including the adjustment or loss of draft choices or even the forfeit of a game,” the memo reads.

                “Simply put, compliance is mandatory. Now is the time to recommit ourselves to our protocols and best practices for the duration of the season.”
                The memo also outlines new measures intended to mitigate exposure at team facilities, including limits on free-agent tryouts, bans on team gatherings away from club facilities and video surveillance of facilities and team travel to monitor that protocols like wearing masks are followed.

                  So did I. I think they chose Derwin in that draft.

                    Might be premature, but i don't think Pipkens is working out.

                      Since Pip lost his job to Turnstile Tevi, I would say that's not a good sign...kind of like trading in an old, beat-up Chevy Cavalier for a Yugo...

                        I was hoping to get him in the 2nd since he was rated as a guard. Nope, quality O lineman go higher than expected.

                          One the reasons NE drafted Wynn was that we had beaten them to Lamp and especially Feeney.

                          There was even an attempt to trade up by NE.

                          Criticism of Telesco ought to be tempered by the knowledge that he has made some moves that many other savvy GMs would have made also...see Franklin/Lamp.

                          Our issues have included Telesco's too frequent miscalculations, and basically his shitty luck, but mostly, our issues are organizational, ie player development.

                          Passionate venting does not necessarily translate to solid football takes.

                          How about if we just hang in there, and see what happens in the second quarter of the season ?
                          We do not play modern football.
