Yes I begin to notice things I never thought of before. Like how Ty Simpson looks like a young Kirk Cousins. Like how Tennessee wants Love so bad but I guess we're not allowed to? How Bain gets pushed down because of his t rex arms. How Cowboys want to fleece the Cardinals but we been kicking Cowboy butt?

And how I'm smart enough to freeze chili and soups so whenever I want I'll reheat and it taste better after the first time? And don't get me started on my Reuben Sandwich I make at home minus the thousand Island sauce , replacing it with Kraft Catalina. Seriously it's a game changer.
Replace that sauce with Louisiana hot sauce . It's an entirely new level

I saw a breakdown of Love’s 98 yard touchdown run vs Indiana in the 2024 playoff game. Indiana came in as the #1 ranked rush defense in college football. There was some chirping on the Indiana side about shutting down Love and the ND run game. Love and the ND offense set out to throw a knockout blow right from the start. The way he set up the blocks and then turned on the afterburners on that 98 yard run was amazing! Love has some Michael Jordan/Larry Bird in him. He wants to stomp on the opponent with overwhelming intensity.
That's called, "IT"
And yes, he has IT

People I see on the internet and linear TV say Simpson is a good fit for the McVey/Shanahan offense and cite Brock Purdy. OTOH, MLF says he want a tough QB with prototype size.

Get you popcorn ready.
People keep saying this or that fits Coach Flowers offense.
But the truth is,...we have no idea what his offense is...yet.
We know that it is likely influenced by the coaches he learned under...and probably by conversations with his brother.
But good coaches develop their own system.
Bill Walsh gets most of the credit for the WC offense for example...while nobody Tony Dungy worked for ever ran the Tampa Two...that is all his...
Those are just quick examples of a couple that caught on since the league likes to copycat.

But I wouldn't be surprised if coach Flower rolls out a unique offensive system..shades of Shanny, hints of McVain... but uniquely LaFleur

Reviewing everything so far as I have more miles under me than most. I have my own quote I hope you will understand

"The windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror for a perfect reason"

Grab a blue chipper at #3 then patch some holes. No bs here don't we have some coaches? A great trade down would be at the first pick in rd 3
More miles than most??
Lmao, welcome to ASFN...
I'm 58, and one of the younger regulars on the board.
We got one guy, PACardFan... was actually AT the 1947 Championshio game we won.. he took his youngest son to the game for his 18th birthday or something.

Lots of guys around here have mileage.
You can tell the ones under 50...they're the loud ones.

Am 58 as well. Drove a truck for way too long as I'm supposed to be early retired but I still hail cars. Mostly classics and hot rods

Yep I'm listening as I like this

Blasphemy to get rid of the 1000 Island off a Reuben. You eliminate the sweet pickles in the 1000 Island that contrasts to the Kraut.

If you really want to ruin a good Reuben sandwich, try this knock-off Big Mac Sauce---you maintain the sweet pickles. I used to mix this up for my nephew/niece when I babysat for them and we had burgers from the BBQ. They thought their ole Uncle Buck was a culinary genius to make Big Mac Burgers.


***Our messages crossed as we turn this into the Food Network. I learned my lesson when I worked as a cook and ran out of 1000 Island. Russian Dressing used to be an option---and very close to Catalina. Old dudes from New York Delis want that 1000 Island.

After several sources saying how hard it would be to find a trade down partner, Sports Illustrated today validated this rumor.
