But seriously I'm excited. Hearing that Cosmi's not holding up well in practices against Young and Sweat, and even getting worked over by William Bradley King. That's upsetting to hear but aside from some uneasiness about the tackle spot I'm feeling really good about the roster everywhere else.

Fitz is going to be up and down but the point is we were unbelievably awful last year at QB. If we just get capable from Fitz in half his games, and he's awful in the other half, that's still a big improvement from last season. Defense needs to just stay where it was and we'll be in the mix come December.

Most of all, we should be very fun to watch. A defense that gets after the QB and an offense with speed and a QB that will chuck it downfield. We're going to have fun, that's for certain. It's a good year to get back to season tickets, for anybody who stepped away from it.

Cosmi should be struggling. He's going up against two top notch pass rushers and he's a rookie. He mostly got by on raw athleticism in college. He's got a lot to learn.

Cosmi couldn't ask for any better on the job training. Going up against two freaking studs.

This is why I think the O-line exceeded expectations last year. They will rarely face a tougher opponent on Sundays compared to during the week.

I hope so. We got some key guys out of commission at the moment and like Schneed my biggest worry (in the sports world) is players missing time right now. Definite disadvantage.

And I know you understand, I'm not speaking to you per se. I'm laying this out for some dumbass who may be reading this, with no understanding how this works.

Well yeah of course it is part emotional. I can say I still do not feel 100% when it comes to my cardio so not sure about living 100% comfortably.

that sucks, sorry to hear that. pheumonia is serious shit.

Ron Rivera said yesterday that he was encouraged by improved vaccination rates on WFT. Source says now 84% of WFT players have received at least one vaccination shot. They opened camp at around 60%

Nice news..

Sheehan said D Payne was fined for not wearing a mask in clubhouse/lockerroom area

Will be interesting to see after cuts where the numbers/% will be. That’s where it matters

This is a good point that frankly I hadn't considered. I think if anything it will be worse once we get down to 53, meaning the guys who are still unvaccinated as of today are probably the ones who feel comfortable that they'll make the 53.

Despite what Ron says, if I'm a bottom of the roster guy and I'm scrapping and clawing to try to make the 53 or the practice squad, I'm not going to give them a reason to cut me and I'll go get vaccinated.

But if I make $4M and I'm definitely on the 53 no matter what, I might be more inclined to stand on my personal principles.

Just stopped in to see if there was any good discussions going on in the forums.

Foolishly opened this one first.

Funny tweet by Thom Loverro:

"You know, if a doctor showed up at the park, opened his trunk and told them I’ve got syringes filled with iguana piss that will make you faster and stronger and it’s undetectable, there would be a line through the parking lot #WashingtonFootball #NFL"

Where's the lie though ?

No doubt. I read an article recently where Rivera was praising Cosmi also. Dude is serious athletic for a tackle. Going against Sweat/Young is crazy every day in practice. Cosmi has serious potential. We could have a stud here.
