No he mentioned English players like Offiah etc who would make it then apparently irish and welsh players are too dumb to go there

I don’t know man. I didn’t read it that way.
Plus he clearly never saw Ryhs Evans in the Replacements
I remember Darren Bennett being that one punter not afraid to hit opposition players. He played Aussie Rules if memory serves.
I think Tebow would have been a much better rugby player than gridiron pro.

It is NOW, I meant when Lomu played (and especially the way Lomu played), it wasn't that complicated playing wing (my position when I played) - run forwards and choose between hugging the touchline or cutting in... or in Lomu's case, just run over the fecker. Lomu was a freak (in a good way) but a lot different to now with well planned back moves... the biggest decision scrum halves like Bachop or Joost had was left or right, short pass to a forward or long to the backs.
In Lomu's case "Jonah, smash!"
Wasn't a comparison (I didn't say "but English players would have been fine" ?) but can see how it could be read as such.
I mentioned Itoje as he sprung to mind as someone I could see with a chance of adapting (though rugby to NFL is unlikely for anyone really?). Thought of Offiah as typing just given his speed and ability to adjust runs on the fly... coincidence both English (I'm not).
(Edit. Just seen other posts. Offiah is a separate sentence... Just added as typing and nothing to do with rest of points)

Me neither
though to be fair, I wrote it so at least I know what I meant in my head.Nice touch
Now let's trade AJ Green to the Packers or something. Otherwise the Tee Higgins pick didn't make any sense.
That's not why. BB just not interested. Cap room could be made. There are players who could be extended/cut to make room.
Some background on how the Packers ended up with Love
Fifth overall pick in 2017, still think he might come good if he finds a good landing spot.
Taco Charlton released by Dolphins . Was a first round pick by Dallas a couple of years ago but very laid back
The Vikings should maybe give him a chance, André Patterson is a miracle worker.
Good thing they took him over Jamal Adams, Patrick Mahomes, Marshon Lattimore, and Deshaun Watson. Another successful running back in the top 5.
Just seen the Project 11 episode on ESPN. That was fecking disgusting. When they showed what his leg looked like after they scraped all the bacteria off his muscles and tissues
I've got a whole new level of respect for him. Seems like a genuinely nice guy too. What's crazy to me was how fast the human mind can switch perspective/outlook. At one point, he would have been satisfied with just keeping his leg and having a normal sedentary life. I know he's a professional athlete, but having a super hot wife, kids and shitload of dough, most of us would be satisfied to retire. For him to keep trying to make a comeback seems kinda nuts.
A lovely recovery story.
His wife though, holy shit.

Didn't expect him to end up there...
Solid pickup for Dallas, particularly if the Dak situation doesn’t get resolved.
Thought he might end up at NE, but looks like Bill is all in on Stidham.

The red BB gun has disappointed me so many times in fantasy football. He really is a poor QB.
Still think Jacoby Brissett might be at play here. If Belichick really is all in on Stidham this season, lightning can't strike twice, can it?
Based on what I’ve heard, I’m glad I held onto Stidham in Dynasty. The thinking is he’s a talented guy that was in a bad situation going against good defenses in the SEC, a la Drew Lock.
If Stidham wins double digit games in NE it’s really going to show who has been the key to the success up there the last few decades.
The problem is that he has a relatively poor supporting cast, unless N'keal Harry makes a big jump this season, Stidham basically only has Edelman and the stable of running backs to rely on as playmakers. As for the defense, teams rarely have two consecutive productive seasons in terms of turnovers, they are going to be a top 10 defense in terms of points and probably yardage because Belichick is at the helm and they have very good players but I assume that they will have a smaller margin for error.
Apparently he is good guy to have in the locker room and hopefully we just need him to be better than Cooper Rush
A steady qb2 for sure. A no brainer of a signing really.
I don't think its in any way meant to be "leverage" in the Prescott negotiations but it certainly makes the risk of him sitting for a year much less risky.
I just realized that Yanda retired, that's a massive hole in the Ravens OLine.
That was good news for the rest of the AFC North, as that team was looking scary. They filled a hole at LB with the perfect pick, and added a future RB1 to an already great rushing attack.
No way does that happen. A QB who's thrown 4 passes, 1 of which was a pick 6, throwing to an elderly Edelman and nobody else is a recipe for disaster.
It's crazy that in September they had possibly the most talented offence of all time, then they all just left.
I can't imagine BB doesn't have a trick or two up his sleeve here. A trade for an experienced starter, even if nothing more than a depth builder, would seem essential.
Chicago Bears finally give up on Mitchell Trubitsky .
Perhaps the Patriots might look at giving him a chance

Damn. RIP.
Shame, legend - even my limited knowledge is aware of the Dolphins and their unbeaten season.
RIP.
Still unbeaten. RIP
Official now.
