i gotta say, since ive stopped using twitter: reddit easily has the least knowledgeable sports fans of any app of seen. on par with instagram
Seeing people on Reddit argue about whether or not he should go in is one of the most maddening things I’ve seen on Reddit. Consider the implications.

And with that, this is where my EDGE rankings stand. Only have Nadame Tucker left in the first wave.
Will grab guys like Derrick Moore, Gabe Jacas and Joshua Josephs with the 2nd wave post combine.

Man that line about what Eberflus was supposed to be good at. I still remember @johnowning.bsky.social bemoaning the hire knowing Eberflus was a bad match.
"Matt Eberflus got fired (rightfully) for the Cowboys defensive collapse. Someday, historians or archeologists will determine what Eberflus was supposed to be good at in the first place."

What will Jerry Jones do with George Pickens? Probably something very counterproductive and silly.

I know there has been pretty consistent negativity around the Pro Bowl, but I enjoyed having it on the background. Some fun plays, good catches, and it's just nice to see the players from different teams having fun together.

At least TJ Parker, who also is primarily a power rusher, does it in different ways, using both long arm and traditional bull rushes. Can use the long arm to set up inside and outside moves. Much more nuanced than Moore.
After watching all his reps in Mobile, I may be the only one who didn't think Michigan EDGE Derrick Moore was very impressive. Just a bull rush merchant who didn't sequence hands that well.
In team scenarios, he only had 1 pressure on 17 pass-rush reps. Not great for someone considered a big riser

With R Mason Thomas, Zion Young and Nadame Tucker still to come, here are the 7 EDGEs I have ranked.
Note: Their grades may be slightly different than the reports I posted earlier due to some slight tinkering with my grading scale.

Got through the first 5 episodes of Wonder Man last night. Really enjoyed it. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is outstanding, imo.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.
