2019 NFL & College Football Discussion Thread

I'll be sticking around. What about you?

I'll probably swing by from time to time. Tis the off-season, where football news is scarce and that's generally a good thing. I've been following Steelers OTA stuff and will probably go to training camp again this year. May post some thoughts if this place is still alive and semi active. I actually like this team this year. Seems like there have been lessons learned. But time will tell.

You gotta report in from training camp, and yeah, I like the makeup of this team. I might even root for them this year.

Any OTA news?

The usual off-season positivity. They are apparently messing around with a 2 RB set with Conner and Samuels. This would make sense as both backs can run and catch. Bush has been getting rave reviews. He will probably be a week one starter. They seem to like Dionte Johnson as well. After that, just Sutton Smith playing LB and FB, just to try and get out there.

Oh yeah, Kameron Kelly out of the AAF has been running with the ones at FS while Davis is hurt.

I'll keep trying to breathe life into this place


**** Zeke

Yeah Zeke did something that I've already forgotten. I'm still waiting to hear about Tyreek Hill. I get the feeling that the NFL doesn't want to do much due to the connection between him and Mahomes putting butts in seats, but his misdeeds are really bad and really public at this point.

A shame Danny Snyder's incompetence never let Trent Williams play in more than a couple of playoff games.

Trent Williams requests trade.

Conner and Samuels in the backfield at the same time is a good idea imo. I think Bush could be a player. No idea who Johnson is. Is that the WR they took in the 2nd?

Go AAF!

What did Zeke do now?

Go AAF!

Samuels looked really good last year for a guy that was a converted H-Back. Dionte Johnson is their WR that they took with their first third rounder.

They brought in three AAF players, but released Jack Tocho before OTAs. The other two are Kelly and Tegray Scales.

There's a chance that Artie Burns gets released before training camp. Too bad, I had high hopes for him after a solid first two years but the wheels completely came off last year.

Some minor thing at a concert. Got into it with a rent-a-cop, who took quite a fall to get Zeke detained

Hes just a tool though. Drunk *******

Nice job.

I like the Cowboys but cant stand Zeke.

[Castiron]

Panthers sign Gerald Mccoy.

Its the number one thing I cant stand about the fanbase right now, the absolute deification of Zeke. I mean its not like he plays himself into shape every year Shaw style, or led his position in fumbles last year, or was emphatically told by the league to not get into any trouble ever again during his last suspension, or has a history of drug and alcohol abuse dating back years. Oh wait.

Hes really, really good at football. Am I 100% taking him over Saquon, McCaffrey, or a healthy Gurley? Idk, man. If not Im just not sure hes worth the contract and the headache

I think they run him into the dirt and let him sign elsewhere. At least, thats what I'd do.

Such is the fate of RBs. It's why I'd like to see Saquan on a better team. He's incredible, but has to break like 6 tackles before he even gets to the LOS.

Plus, teams tend to be able to replace RBs pretty easily. Which is why I'm glad Bell took a stupid gamble. Hopefully the Steelers learned from this. Actually, hopefully they learned from the "Killer Bs" era in general. Easily the most disappointing era of Steelers football.
