A top 12 pick, like he could have been the 3rd pick or something. He was the 12th pick. Hey, maybe I'm wrong. Perspective and reasoning is overrated. So what if he is 21 y/o rookie, the same age Leonard Floyed was when he was a freshman at UGA, playing a position he doesn't know how to play. He's a top 12 pick, dammit! He needs to play like Reggie White right now, or we need to unleash hate on him! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By definition, agenda is "the underlying intentions or motives of a particular person or group." I don't understand what underlying intentions a person could have on a message board. Uh. To create and give voice to their own narrative? Pretty sure we see that every day here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly would be nice to get production out of a Top 12 pick before he demands his 100 million. Productive players on rookie deals is how you win championships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For another example of an agenda, just look at the recent Randal trade discussion- oy vey! Is agenda your word for "opinion I dont agree with"? Its not like he's comin in out of left field to tell us how much Gary sucks, there needs to be a temper put on excitement or we'll turn into Vikings fans claiming Bridgewater is better than Aaron Rodgers, or believing their line is ok. I wouldn't count a stunt as a + for the player. Normally you run stunts because it's not getting done straight up, you'd rather win by confusion. It's a longer path to the QB. The Randall trade is a legit discussion because it had detractors out the gate and he's still a good player, the "vet board of players" are all gone, the coach is gone and our compensation is gone. There were other avenues. Randall didnt HAVE to go, he wasnt being AB. If Leonhard was able to be a long term starter for Pettine I'm sure Randall couldve gotten it done. Though I'll admit having Savage now is pretty sweet. Still take DA over Tramon though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently. It's much more dramatic and easier to discredit someone if they have an agenda......I guess Edited September 7, 2019 by cannondale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Danneskjold Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 If someone wants to bring it back to football, they could post about gap labels, and maybe the difference between those and labels for defensive player alignments. I believe there was a post about Lowrey with a very idiosyncratic label for the gap between the guard and tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm also not seeing the 'excitement' or 'hype' that people are trying to temper. Dude played six snaps and hit the QB on one of them. No one's anointing him, just pointing it out.

Joe Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 How fitting was it that Amos ended one drive at the end with an INT and that the two Smiths finished the job on the next drive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
