I'm not following anyone from "Giants twitter", but I did get this before the fight, which accurately sums up anything re-tweeted into my timeline about them this far:

So, Jonathan Taylor probably not a first round back anymore?

Urban Meyer to use Winners and Losers drill to help determine Jacksonville Jaguars' cuts
This seems incredibly stupid and probably lazy. Aren't you going to end up having players focus on conserving energy for one-on-one drills versus practicing like they would on a normal team?

Tell Canton to get the plaque ready..."But I've had to make decisions on who starts, and it's not fair to players to say, 'Well, I'm starting [you] because I like you or because you're from Ohio.' It's just, 'Here's the stats.' They say statistics are for losers, and my comment is usually losers say statistics are for losers."

Since he's determining jobs after 5 reps, I wonder if he would like the "every man's got a record" criteria applied to him after five games this season?Pruitt wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 4:59 pmmister d wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 4:32 pm Urban Meyer to use Winners and Losers drill to help determine Jacksonville Jaguars' cuts

Seems like a loser's idea of making winners.

Re: 2021 NFL Season Thread
If one took Meyer's tactic to a ridiculous extreme, he'd keep an old, injury-prone, overpriced player with no upside over a young guy with loads of potential, if he did a bit better in drills.

Re: 2021 NFL Season Thread
And then use "look, he did tangibly better (at the test I made the absolute factor)" as the end-all to any questioning of decisions. But I can't possibly see that happening.

Lamar Jackson is not vaccinated, has had COVID twice, and posts anti Vax crap to his IG pages. So proud of my QB.

Many people don't remember this now, but one of the reasons Cousins fell to the fourth round in the draft was his batshit crazy dad.

NFL coaches are fucking nuts. I wonder if they're all somehow deciding to take the opposite lesson of Ted Lasso.
“My message to the team is very clear: We attack every day. It’s a climb and we’re attacking every day,” he said. “We like to even break it down further than that. We’re not only attacking every day; we’re attacking the little parts of that day, right? The players right now are attacking rest. The coaches, when we’re done here, I’m going to go up with the offensive staff and we’re going to watch the tape and we’re going to attack the crap out of the film. Then we’re going to attack the meeting room, right? Then we’re going to attack the walkthrough, then we are going to attack the meeting room again.”

Its really nice. I enjoyed the routine for a while but then it became more like an obligation and being free is lovely.
Re: 2021 NFL Season Thread
I like Josh Allen but I’d be at least a little concerned over that extension. I would have thought they might be able to keep the AAV down a little more than $43M/year.
ETA: With the caveat that NFL contracts are bullshit. Of course, he did also get $150M guaranteed, so it's still a huge investment.

I realize the journalist in you wouldn't delete the credit, but it would have been fun to play "guess which coach said this?". I'm sure there would have been at least 10 different answers.

For the second consecutive season, DirecTV is comping me Sunday Ticket Max for some reason.
ETA: Well, last season was probably a bribe to get me to keep DirecTV through the pandemic, as that email came in late April of 2020.

Re: 2021 NFL Season Thread
I'm sure it will come as no surprise to anyone to find out that Nick Bosa's girlfriend's tweets loudly identify her as (also) a racist, homophobic, Trump-supporter who won't get the Covid vaccination. Even so, this thread of her tweets is a thing to behold. I could post them all in this thread, but they go on and on and on... (These tweets were recently brought to light, and she then deleted her Twitter account.)
