Killing people left and right. It's a blood bath. We'll be lucky to have any players left.

Old Sparky or firing squad?

We won halftime!

This team genuinely likes each other… guys hang out together that you wouldn't expect to outside of football…very much a 'bring your lunch pail' grinding mentality…they don't care who's first string or second string, they want what's best for the TEAM…nurturing an "us versus the world" mentality and it's really catching on…seeing lots of buy-in to the complex systems and schemes the coaches are installing…this is becoming a team of brothers who would go to war for one another…chills everywhere…tremendous upside….

May turn out to be true, but you can cut and paste this same type of observation every year for the past decade or more.

Folks on premium seem to be concerned about the DL…

My son went to practice on Saturday. I didn't get to ask many questions and he didn't elaborate but he said it's going to be a long season and that we looked terrible.

Remember that 8-4 is not a 'Terrible' season. It is 'Mediocre'.

I am too considering we couldn't stop the run or get to the QB last year, AND we lost three draft picks. Seems like that's definitely going to be one of the main weaknesses on this team.

Per insiders never seen this type of bond between the players before, everyone on the same page, expect a big season out of some names that might surprise you,

FWIW

oh well in that case im freakin out middle aged white dudes who never played football are worries I am too!

I haven't been to a practice this year so no actual knowledge.
But it is hard to judge players when most of practice is non contact.
It would be nice to have a team that the players are trying to help each other and winning might be more important than individual stats.

(Fill in the blank defensive ends name) Is unblockable.

You understand when you say "XXXXXX is unblockable" you could also just as easily say "YYYYYY can't block."

Unless XXXXXX lines up against both sides of the line and nobody can block him.

Was hoping to hear we have a team full of lunch pail type guys.

<Pick your player> is in the best shape of his career and is finally healthy.

The team looks great, but they're young.

I'd say in two years they're gonna be legit playoff contenders.

Fran has them primed!

Sherman is bringing an nfl culture!

Sumlin's air raid will be unstoppable even with JFF!


Jimbo has his class. We are SEC ready.

Hey everybody, Dirk Jones fart-faced kid isn't high on this team. Tell your boy to quit Durkin around like a smiling creep and leave the actual football talk to the adults in the room (me).

I walked-on at A&M for a semester while I was a student (undergrad), so I think I may know a thing or two (2) more than your boy. Tell him to hit me up if he has any questions or needs some advice. Always happy to help the younger generation.

I remember when I brought up that we lost 3 guys early to the draft on the dline and a certain, pumper, did his best to spray sunshine and make it sound as if I was just being negative
