I don't! I want some old fashioned revenge!Iron Sharpens Iron.
Donald will test Saffold, along with the rest of the #1's on the D- line making the Oline be sharp.....Minnesota Viking in Week One, and I pity the fools!
No way I thought he'd fall to us... I even seen us trading up for him if anything but didn't think we would with how our D-Line was set. Lady Fate is smiling down on usNot to toot my own horn but...
Seems like the trend has been for teams to grab pass rushers, Wr's and CB's early in the draft. I'm glad the value of WR's was inflated this past draft. I can't imagine there are many draft boards that are put together in which Odell Beckham is the 12th best play overall.Totally. Maybe it was the position. The next DT (Easley) didn't go until #29. Only 3 were taken in the 2nd round. Only 1 OG was taken in the first two rounds. Either it was a perceived lack of talent or the NFL just doesn't value the center of either the O-line or the D-line. Mind boggling to me.
I know it's these players time off and the coaches can't encase them in plastic bubbles, but this kind off stuff always makes me nervous......."Donald took three days off to go jet skiing"
The gods smiled on us when Quinn fell although some of that had to do with him having a tumor and not playing for a year.You and me both. For years it seemed as though the football gods hated us ... but the were certainly smiling on us this draft day. I had Donald pegged for Tampa Bay as he seems like the perfect DT for Lovie's D.
Quinn falling wasn't terribly surprising because he hadn't played football in a year and had a brain tumor. Hopefully the young kids mature some.While it's hard to believe that Donald fell to us last year, it's even harder to believe that the same thing happened with Quinn. Noe, if only the same thing would happen to us next year involving a stud WR. :banana:
I worked on much of the test equipment used to develop and test the F-15.VinceF15 coming in under the radar:
Long...Brockers...Donald...Quinn
Kaepernick and Wilson probably haven't had a good night's sleep since the day before the draft...
I know a lot of people have complained about Langford's play, but I just don't see it. It took him a few games in 2012 to acclimate to the position change but, IMO, he had a solid year in 2012 and a good - very good year last year. I am anxious to see AD play and I'm very glad we drafted him, but I don't think he was drafted because the coaches/FO are unhappy with Langford's performance.I've been complaining about Langford's play for the last two years and now I think we're all going to see why and what a really good DT can do when working alongside Brockers. This is going to be a fun year. :banana:
It means that the letters kind of lean over to the right. You know those crazy Italics, they're always to trying to duplicate the Tower of Pizza.LazyWinker with a query:
No one told me what italics means!!!
I'm certain you're right that they didn't draft Donald because of Lankford's play. While we don't agree about the level of his play, can you say that he wasn't the weakest link among our D-line starters?BigRamFan liking Lankford:

I don't know that I would call him "the weakest" just because it sounds like an indictment. He, or anyone else, could play very good football and still not be the "best" on that line; the competition there is pretty stiff. Surely, he has room for improvement but I see him as anything but a weakness.I'm certain you're right that they didn't draft Donald because of Lankford's play.

So stereotypical of you being all serious. German stereotypes is something I don't think I'll ever understand.It means that the letters kind of lean over to the right. You know those crazy Italics, they're always to trying to duplicate the Tower of Pizza.
My first thought when I read that quote was "thank Bhudda he didn't get injured doing something crazy" but being of German ancestry I was able to keep my letters in my thoughts upright. It's a genetics thing.
My gripe is the total lack of push up the middle and that lack has, IMO, greatly reduced the effectiveness of our pass rush. Weakness and incompatibility are synonyms to me in this situation. So while Lankford's play might look good in isolation, come game time I frequently don't like what I see.BigRamFan thinking it's all relative:

Still shocked he fell to the Rams.

I don't care if you're at work, home or in the middle of the sahara desert. Take 10 minutes and watch Donald go beast mode.. Then imagine him next to Quinn, Long and Brockers
