Your certitude seems not limited to positive outcomes.
I here you. Kinda hard to say go Browns and Giants so I just cheer for our UGA players.
Frank’s change after leaving UF is what catches my attention, but his connection to Pitts while at UF makes his signing make more sense. Fromm’s strength was chemistry with certain WRs he worked better with and Frank’s already works well with Pitts (who doesn’t) and this might help him.
If you are an NFL fan, you don't really carry a lot of college-rivalry baggage. Like Ga-Fla. You're just excited about the whole NFL-Draft process.
That scene in Nashville two years ago? Crazy. The prospect of a similar scene in Vegas? That would've been insane. Unfortunately, it didn't happen.
And this year at the Rock 'N Roll HOF? I thought the live music and family celebrations were fantastic.
And if you're a Bear's fan like me, you gotta love the Justin Fields pick.
Hopefully though the Falcons will go QB in the 1st rd next year because I really love JT Daniels as a prospect and I'd love for the Falcons to take him and groom him behind Matt for a couple of years. Thing about that though is that after witnessing what Brady did at age 43 last year Matt may decide to stick around awhile.
The Colts drafted some clown from UWG one pick ahead of Richie, and I am livid. I'm gonna be a full time browns fan this year and cheer for Rodrigo in blue. But I'm about over the lack of UGA talent in Indianapolis.
UWG ? Do you mean the U of West Georgia? I looked up the Colts' draft and couldn't find any mention of anyone from West Georgia or any UWG. Perhaps a different school? Not sure why you would call him a clown - if he was good enough to be drafted he must have something to offer.
The University of West Gainesville. fLLLoriduh. Whichever you choose.
Ah! Thanks. Having coached at the "other" UWG (Carrollton) I was pretty excited we might have had a kid drafted.
A lot of fans either ignore or don't grasp how lost Fields looked in our offense when he got on the field. Fromm looked far more comfortable from day one as a freshman. I'm happy for Justin and maybe if Kirby had committed to changing OCs/QB coaches he might have stayed and played well for us. He was not responding well to Coley though. Some people also ignore the fact Jake is still near the top in SEC history among 3 year starters QB, top 3 in fact. IF he hadn't been wrecked by Coley he might have won a title and had a great junior season instead of the career imploding mess he had.
Another thing. The QB who Fields replaced at OSU (Haskins) went 15th in the draft, Justin went 11th, so far Haskins has not adapted well to The NFL game. OSU's offense is very QB friendly, it's an evolved vertion of Meyer's offense, which just about every QB who ever played in it found easy success.
The drafting of Pitts was a win now move given the short shelf life of NFL Head Coaches and Arthur Blanks age so they'll try to simply outscore people with Julio, Calvin Ridley and Pitts leaving Defenses with no good answers if Matt has time to throw so I totally get the pick and though I would've taken the best QB in the draft, Fields, maybe Arthur Blanks age and the sense of urgency to win now drove this decision so I get it. If they can run the ball well ENOUGH, protect Matt Ryan and field at least a top 15 Defense (Which is a longshot) then they have a punchers chance of making the playoffs so I get the pick.
If Pitts becomes a great TE the pick will be very good long term, probably short term as well, but management has put out the word he has a lot to learn, the kid is just 20 years old. That being true, I see your point. Picking a LT or a QB would have been looking at the next generation of players, this definitely could make Ryan's job easier. Of course great TEs often have long productive lives in The NFL.
Is anyone else impressed with Filepe Franks?
I haven’t seen today’s game but I liked how he kept his head up looking downfield in the last preseason game. Great running too. He seems more poised after Art Briles’/Sam Pittmans coaching than at UF. Is a pretty good undrafted free agent prospect.
What did he do today?
I was just gonna get on here and comment on his good decision-making. He’s been pretty accurate with his throws, too. Never saw a glimpse of that at UF…
Falcons trail the Browns 10-3 at the half. Franks is 5/8 for 66 yards with only 5 rush yards.
Game is on NBC if you want to watch.
