Best Of

I think TE should be improved at the ceiling. Decker Degraaf seems like the real deal. I gotta be honest, I'm not TOTALLY convinced on Denzel Boston. He seems like huge potential guy that just won't ever really pan out in the way that we hope. I think I'm probably just spoiled by having Rome, McMillan, AND Polk all on one team.

The OL should be improved, both by incoming players AND recruiting. We didn't lose any one of value there. I'm hopeful for the offense.

I think Paki wins the spot at one guard. Fishy likes to say he plays young guys and Finau seems to have the highest upside of the guys competing. An opportunity to point to a young stud and prove his point seems likely. G. Hatchett was a starter for Oklahoma last year before he tore his pec. The Sooners weren't a great team so not sure what to glean off that but he has seen live bullets. McCree was listed at 290 last year. He needs a major weight redistribution. He had really skinny arms, like smaller than UW's RBs. If he put in the work, he's the most athletic of the four JAGs that are competing to play opposite of Willis. If Coleman was juking dudes out of their shoes last year with a dad bod then the idea of him playing lean and mean gives me a boner (now that he's had the greatest offseason ever, a catastrophic non contact injury is probably brewing). IMHO I think WR is going to be a strength. Williams and Harris being another year in the system should provide excellent depth and Green is very quick, I think he'll be hard to cover underneath coverages. DeGraff, Moore and Eldridge give you three proven if not in DeGraffs case, dynamic TE options. Less "if's" here than on defense but if Microfiche can solve the red zone, this offense should be noticeably better than 2024.

Imagine winning 116 games and not winning the World Series, pal.

Jerking it over winning 100 games in baseball, arguing about Sam Darnold, and pretending like you know anything about hockey.

Gonna be a great year for KJR listeners!

TE could be a sneaky big improvement. I've said before the Moore was the best returning run blocker on the team and got knocked out for the season in the first game. Having him could help open up DeGraaf more to focus on receiving. I can't remember which podcast it was but they pointed out that only two TEs last year, one a true freshman, had to play 100% of the TE reps all season.

Boston seemed like a guy who cooled off after a fast start and teams started to focus on him more. Will be interesting to see this year if he's a guy who can be an 1,000+ yard receiver as The Guy. I'm not convinced. Demond seemed to like to go to Giles Jackson more, which is concerning given we don't have a proven guy like that coming back.

The big thing for the OL to me is I can't imagine it could be worse and Willis and G. Hatchett should be instant upgrades over Azzopardi and Vimahi (Willis substantially). And hopefully 100% healthy McCree and L. Hatchett make big differences.

What I remember from “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” besides the male rape, was the seemingly yuge number of 7-11’s in Sweden.👍🏻
