Is there a answer key to this?

Ugh. McGlynn and Fulton

Spurious apostrophe alert!

well, i'd say a plus is good, stalemate is kind of OK but not terrible, and minus is a bad thing

I have no clue what you're talking about, sir.

heh heh you were quick with that

So does Donald Stephenson get to come back like Welker and the other guys if the new drug policy is passed?

I don't believe so. PEDs are different than drugs (marijuana or amphetamines). I could be wrong though.

I wonder if Allen will end up making a better RT than G?

Also, could LDT be any worse than McGlynn? Might as well give the young guy some snaps.

I don't think so. Stephenson got suspended for using a PED, I believe whereas Gordon and Welker (and others) were suspended for using recreational drugs. I think the latter is what the new drug policy is revising, but I don't know for sure.

Maybe just maybe Fisher will eventually get it.

Such a homer. LMAO

He's a bust. It's his second year and he's not elite yet /CP

He held his own on sunday, theres nothing homer about it.

You have access to the PFF grades, don't you?

no shit Jeff Allen makes a better tackle than guard. He played it all through college. Its no different than going out on a limb saying Hudson would be a better LG than anything else we have

the line should be

Fisher-Hudson-Kush-Fulton-Allen

what do they have to lose here

His grades overall err on the side of homer. He imagines this line as about 20 percent better than it is.

He did hold his own. He wasn't stellar, and admittedly that needs to be the case week in and week out to even have a shot at one day justifying the pick. But he was far from the biggest problem on the OL.

Fisher will get worse, it's not like he was even facing anyone good on his side.

You know who I was surprised to see do a good job. The Chiefs secondary especially Abdullah. He didn't allow a single deep ball.

Well I cant comment, I didn't watch the game...

Too much hookers and blow huh?

Too much I don't give a shit would rather enjoy my Sundays on the golf course or doing honey do's for the wife...

This shit hole franchise is killing my love for the game.

Fisher did perform a lot better in the real game than he did during the pre-season. Looks like Reid kicked his butt a little.

I think people are concerned about him because he looked terrible during the pre-season and for most of last season. And he was the #1 overall pick but hasn't looked like anything close to that yet.

Surprise bitches! Fisher was solid.

No, 19 minuses is not solid, but having more pluses is a step in the right direction for him. Now let's see how he does against one of the greatest pass rushers of the 21st century in Demarcus Ware.

Jacobs is a gigantic homer. Nothing to see here.

Twists just killed us.

Most of that will improve as our Oline gets used to working with each other.

I get that part, but they don't want to give him the benefit of the doubt. He played out of his actual position all season last year. And was injured.

yep, i'm less worried about Fisher than i am our guards,wrs and secondary.

and Sutton tbh ... i'm not sure Sutton is any good at all.

or Emmit Thomas either

or Dorsey

or the Hunt family


:sulk:

Clay, this was for you. I thought you had a subscription to PFF. They aren't the be-all and end-all, but they're pretty good.

Nope....he doesn't.

Yep, when I pick 1.1, I always look for "solid".

Like a good, fiber-rich turd.

Solid.

Sucks to be you

Not really. The league itself is becoming an estrogen-fest. Harrison was RIGHT.

I just want an OL that is nasty and no DL wants to play against. Bring Incognito in.

He might steal Reid's sammich.

No can do.

Even better, seems like Incognito is a saver of lives as well, someone needs to save Reid from that extra sammich. Bring him in.:hmmm:

LMAO

Golf sucks dick.

ROFL

Ummmm.... Richie have you seen my triple meat Italian with a couple meatballs on top footlong sub from Subway?
No boss, (smacks his lips)

FYP

Yeah its a terrible life I live.

If that was the case you would be a tour pro. /sarcasm.

Fulton hurts the offense in many ways. One of the reason our screens were so good last year is we had a very fast explosive OL. I dont understand his upside... i guess cheap mauler
