    Injuries are something that all teams deal with, and I guarantee that there were players on the other sidelines playing banged up as well. Would it have been nice to walk into that game completely healthy, you bet, but it was not a likelihood. Didn't hear anyone crying about Brandon Alexander or Chris Streveler playing with broken bones in our Cup wins and the only difference was we won those games. I guess it's only a coaching mistake if we lose.

    Everyone plays banged up at that time of year no doubt. It's about how effective you can be. Hindsight is 20/20 and it's abundantly clear that Bighill and especially Schoen should not have been on the field for as many snaps as they were.

    As was stated, your comparisons aren't meaningful as Strev was a secret for the most part....but was still extremely effective and Alexander as proven by video hurt himself celebrating after the win.

    Maybe I'm the crazy one who believes that the top paid player at a position should be the best or at least top three in the league.

    Hardrick I would assume is in the 10-15 range.

    With all due respect, there are not 15 RTs that are better than Hardwick. That's ridiculous to even suggest. He's top 3 for sure. It's not his ability that's the problem really. When he's on, hes one of the best. It's his age and potential for declining play that makes the contract crazy.

    This about where I'd thought hed sign. Figured it be in TO cause I see Dalton getting close to 300k. And thought that would be the preference.

    I love that Brady is back. Calms my nerves about protecting Zach. They idea that "we've gotten worse" is absolutely stupid. No one's knows how good or bad this team will be until the end of camp at the very earliest and likely 6-8 weeks after that.

    I still say it's harder to replace Schoen than Brady. Glad he's back. Hopefully we make it a 2 for Tuesday!!!

    I’m going to try and be self-aware with this because I know I prefer Schoen over Brady myself, but I did have a conversation with my dad the other day where he made a very good point: we’ve never played Schoenball in the 4th Q to seal a win. We’ve made a habit of playing Bradyball. That stuff does matter and I don’t think I had really considered that until he said it.

    To be fair, we also played Harris ball. Let's not pretend this team has focused on the run only for Brady. I'm sure it wouldn't have changed if someone else was getting the ball this year.

    Agree, I think people wanted us to move on from Thomas, Briggs, Schmekel & other players. Not players like Hardrick & other starters. More of a rearranging of the deck chairs & not a massive rebuild. 

    I figured there would be losses along the OL. And I'm glad they stayed with the GOAT. I would have been more upset losing Richmond than I am with losing Hardrick. I know...potential over experience. But they had to get younger eventually. This move makes sense for everyone imo.
