I really like the idea of AAF and its ability to be a feeder league for the NFL. This is a great way for guys who ball out in this league to get a shot in the NFL. Also, there are a TON of ex-49ers in the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might take a look. Several names we've seen over the years, on these rosters. Including our former future great corner Keith Reaser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little known fact, the real name of Canada is actually "The Enchanted Land of Canadia of America". Therefore, we're as american as the people of the United States of America. A little more so, even, because the land was consecrated in 1775 with faery dust and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having the second league in general if the focus is in the right place - more intelligent rules, more fun, games during non-football season. The USFL was a lot of fun - pioneering no huddle offenses and Steve Spurrierness and such - until a certain scorned not-NFL owner ruined it.

Already had Chubb/Johnson, but not surprising considering who the GM is. Will definitely be facing a six game suspension right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty incredible that he's going to get busted for hitting a woman, and likely ends up making more money out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot that Hoyer was on the Pats roster. His intimate knowledge of the scheme definitely had a impact on how prepared that Pats D look against that offense.

Yeah, the fact he knew the rams offense, having never played under McVay, is all the proof I need to put McVay in the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree. Its also further proof that you don't want to be on hard knocks: "he watched the Amazon series “All or Nothing” which focused primarily on the last days of Jeff Fisher’s tenure with the organization but included McVay’s first organized team activities from his first months with the Rams" Hoyer went back and watched practice footage from 2 years ago of when McVay was first hired and saw that the terminology etc was the same as stuff he learned from Kyle. @Ftn49 Its all just Shanahanigans Edited February 12, 2019 by N4L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
