I guess online it is, was trying to support a team sponsor if I wasn’t going to support the team. 

You could always look to a local blacksmith to hammer one out for you.

Like I said earlier, the rest of the league want to screw over Brady. Again. I wouldn't be surprised if Rider brass pays the media off to vote for Milligan. 

Farhan has already sent his vote in for Rourke.

Don't leave out the details - it was in exchange for a game-worn jock.  He's not giving his vote away for free you know!

I guarantee Farhan will make a public argument for VAJ based on his first few games and the fact that isn't his fault he got benched for Rourke.

Actually I believe he sent in his vote for Rourke (or replacement) for the next five consecutive years.

The funny thing about Ford for MODP... is I'm not even sure he's the second best DB on our team... nevermind the best

Don't mistake incompetence for malice. Incompetence takes a lot less effort.

hmmmm...Is Notree gonna be one those Maston/taylor type late yr moves that totally solidified us...both those were looked at as meh type moves by most

I liked what Notree brought in games he played...versatile and athletic....perfect fit for what we do...plus he has experience and knows the league/players

Curious who you would rank above him.  An argument could definitely be made for Nichols, who else would you consider?

Other than that one game against the Elks, Bonds has been pretty much a shut down corner.

I'd say Nichols....Then Ford and Bonds a close second...interchangeable raelly tho teams tend to avoid Bonds...a lot....Griffin factors in there too in the top 3....he's been lights out in all his roles....Holm has been...well Holm...decent...does some good things but has been beat a lot...and lacks physicality...I soooo wanna see him at Safety....All-star there 

Kramdi...tho "tchnically" a line backer....I will give him props with his work in the box and mucking it up close to line of scrimmage...He goes hard and has made impact plays.....but cover wise...scares the crap outta me and is not good in that role...Hence why I think Younger likes to throw in Griffin and Hallett/Kelly...

BA when traditional safety playing over the top  and in tandem is good...alone in space...man sometimes I wonder wtf he doing....yikes

Bonds has been elite....most games you never hear his name....and even see him much in the TV view...there a reason for that

I feel like we already have a few of those moves too.

I'd have Bonds and Nichols ahead of him... the reason Bonds doesn't have sexy stats is because no one throws at him... why does no one throw at him? because he always has his receiver locked down

Caveat: I'm no expert at anything... just my opinion

you are not wrong....he doesnt have the fancy stats...he just gets the job done and is avoided for most part

Our MOP & MOC should be Brady O.

His 'fancy' stats are highlighted during gametape review.

Chris walker looks good, a real lt prospect which is nice. 
I really like notree. I wonder if he draws in right away with his ability to play teams? 
 He isn’t an eye popping tester athletically. But he makes eye popping plays in every range. He can drop back, blitz, scrape to the run, spy, do any thing you want an Imp lber to do. Great great tackler, right mix of physicality and consistency with wrapping and tackling in good form not just hitting. Big wingspan too, and hs basketball player as well as de back then. 
 Has the strength to jolt blockers on kick cover, but won’t be able to do it vs ol. 
 He should fit in really well next to jones if we give him the shot.
