An article by Jourdan that will answer a lot of things that are asked or commented on around here IMO.

Battlehawks is a pretty awesome name

It sure is
You should watch some game highlights. The last one was an L but man, it was a good game, they were both playin tough

Confirmed suicide while leading the police on a car chase after he pulled a gun on a family member.

I feel for his family, friends, and teammates. It's impossible to dredge up any sympathy for Lacy himself.

One early and one late.

Yep, a high pick that can play early, and take a traits guy late who can possibly develop.

The way I took it was they agreed to a deal, but the numbers wont be finalized until after free agency. The 2 sides may have agreed to a percentage of teams remaining cap space to be added to Staffords contract for 2025. Giving the team more flexibility to be aggressive in free agency while giving Stafford a little more money.

Makes you wonder if it's worth drafting one if we're just going to ignore them all the time.

I'm a fan of Tice also. I'm a bit puzzled by the Tet at 3 however. Personally, I'm not all that impressed by him, certainly not more then Jeanty. He's also down on Barron which shocks me.

The more I read up and watch Loveland, the more I think that is McVay's #1 target in the 1st round. Tice loves him as well. Had Loveland been on a team with a functional QB, look out.

Barron will likely end up as a slot corner. Round 1 is high for a slot corner.

Tet has already been taken off some teams boards. His comments on not watching football sends a vibe that he doesn’t love the game.

If McVay is considering a RB that will add more explosive plays, RJ Harvey had 32 plays of 15+ yards last season. The closest RB to that was Jarquez Hunter with 23

Please give us many more years Coach McVay! This view from the top is not taken for granted.

I’m not surprised some people defend our logo having a hidden dick. I know exactly what that says about them.

Deion has done such a disservice to his kid's future

Fucking Harblow. He’s an infested POS.

I’m hearing Mike Malone didn’t get along with the players and the GM. Murray and Joker playing 34 minutes + per game. So son of Stan fired both.

Malone is now replaced interim coach by Bill Adelman whose father destroyed CWebb, Bibby, and Bobby Jackson with too many minutes. Adelman probably didn’t warn Malone about the minutes either.

These moves are real head scratchers.

Sounds like Bobby Brown... Another Aggie.

I feel like Nic Scourton could be a better pro than either of the other edge rushers. Very young as well (won't turn twenty-one until August).

So common with today's media. They can't see past the previous season's results. And we all know there is churn every year in this league, so there should be some effort by them to determine who those teams will be. But hey why make any effort when you can just list the same old shit and get clicks.

Kyren is pretty good but he isn't an elite back. Fumbles and that non existent home run ability are what keeps him from being that. The Rams are smart to keep drafting RBs every year, got to get lucky one of these days with getting a field flipping one hahaha

I kind of quit reading in depth when you had the Bills giving us their 2nd and 5th round picks to move up 4 spots. Not realistic, IMO. I realize not all draft day trades mirror the Jimmy Johnson trade chart but you got at least be in the ballpark. Rams pick at 26 is 700 pts. Bills 30 pick is 620. Pick 62 is 284 pts and pick 177 is 21 pts, total of 925 pts. Not even in the ballpark of compensation. More realistic would be the Bills 3rd round pick at 94 which is worth 124 pts and the Rams may need to even send back one of our 6th rounders. Otherwise, great work, love most of the picks.

Another thing that has kinda been mentioned.

Without the current scheduling system based on Divisions... the regular season will become much less meaningful than it is now. This is what the NBA did... their regular season games have turned into basically something resembling preseason games that are avoided by players. Now we see their fans avoiding the games too.

The NFL added to the importance of their regular season a few years back by making sure that Divisional games are scheduled during the last few games of the season for everyone. This has prevented teams from just resting their best players during the last several games of the year because nothing was on the line. The Divisional scheduling has made the NFL's regular season games important and basically Must See TV from game 1 all the way through game 17. Meanwhile, basketball has turned their regular season games into something almost everyone tries to avoid more so than not.

Also... the NFL's scheduling using the Divisions as the base has created natural rivalries for most teams and those rivalry games add even more interest/value. Most of the Natural rivalries happen twice a year as well. Respect the history that these rivalries created and add to them each season. Wait, No... let's just throw all that in the garbage because the bitches in Detroit are crying again.

Unfortunately no. Work has been too busy. Haven't had time to do any evaluating since mid February. Things will calm down in time for the Draft lol.

Fuckin slacker.

Didn’t care for Schaefer at first but I learned to appreciate his due diligence in bringing some depth to the rather light GMF. It also helped that he was a big McVay fan.

Dart's probably my favorite quarterback in this class, not counting Ward, who obviously isn't going to fall anywhere near us. Quite frankly, I wouldn't have a problem with him at #26; he reminds me a bit of Baker Mayfield. The question is if he lasts that long.

Either way, wouldn't have a problem if McVay decides he's our franchise quarterback of the future; you'll know he scouted him out extensively and can help him attain that peak.

I had to put my dog Molly down today. She had just turned 17 but she had gone down hill the past week or so. This is always harder than you think it will be. Darn little thing tearing my heart out.

Both teams logos are pretty cool.

I dunno, love the 'hawks of course, but those brahma logos... hard to tell what they even are, 1/2 lightning bolt, 1/2 combover?
'hawks are indeed the team to beat, but that Bryce Perkins... love those panther uni's, reminds me a lot of the awesome FL ST uni's.
