ArtVanderlay Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Local radio guys were talking about Barkevious Mingo needing surgery, and went over the Top 10 from the 2013 draft. God, every one of those guys ended up a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Looking at the Wiki real quick, '13 may be one of the all-time worst draft classes ever. 7 Pro Bowlers out of the entire group, and even those 7 aren't exactly lighting the world on fire (except *maybe* Lacy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 We;re entering those players third years where a lot of players really mature and become bigger parts of their team. That said it is looking like a pretty bad draft class, I think we'll get one more Pro Bowler this year in Jamie Collins who has just gotten better every week since he got into the lineup for the Pats. It will be interesting to see who develops into the best of that class. I was expecting big things from Le'Veon Bell this season but since he's starting the season on 4 game suspension that might put a damper on things, but might be helpful for the steelers as he won't be as beat up at the end of the season.

Lawful Metal Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Arian Foster is getting a second opinion on his injured groin. Maybe it's a sports hernia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 And Foster has become a spokesperson for Openly Secular. Which is fascinating and I await the "God injured him for not believing" crowd to make themselves heard. But more seriously, good for him. Religion is so deeply tied into the NFL that seeing Free Thought represented is really nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Not sure where I should put this. And it's a day late. But...on August 6, 1960, the Pittsburgh Steelers be the Toronto Argonauts 34-16 in an exhibition game in Toronto. That's pretty cool...were there many exhibition games like this back in the day??

Ryan Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 That time the Ray Nitschke beat the shit out of the entire opposing team just so he could use the grey cup as a beer stein is my favorite story I just made up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Mysteries! Suspense! A Dr. Chao who has not seen Arian Foster's MRI or charts but has speculated that since Arian flew to Philly to get his surgery by Dr. Meyer, the "sports hernia master" then perhaps his groin was not ripped off the bone, but it's secretly a sports hernia. If it was a groin ripped off the bone, Dr. Lowe in Houston would've done the surgery. So 3-5 weeks instead 2-3 months. Further, Arian has NOT been placed on IR and we haven't signed another running back. So, maybe it's just a sports hernia~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Deadspin has some pretty excellent footage of an all out brawl between seemingly all the Redskins and all the Texans.

Josh Mann Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Even this early,I think it's safe to say at this point that Suh is not Albert Haynesworth. Jarvis Landry is going to have to go 100/1200/10 to retain his 2014-15 MannCrush title the way this is going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise he's facing Suh and Company, and whatever the hell Rex Ryan's cooked up FOUR times.. . . EDIT: Besides, don't those FA big guys usually take a couple of years for the drop off to occur? Not that it will happen to Suh mind you. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah very first thing I thought of was the fight scene from The Wanderers with J.J Watt wrecking people like Emilio. Hopefully he saw that movie and was inspired and picked up RG3 and used him as a baseball bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
