That's what I figured. I assumed he was just going to be like a gadget FB of special teams guy. He doesn't have the giddyup to make an impact anywhere

Am I missing something or are juniors allowed to attend the senior bowl now?

Yep. Started last year.
The Shrine Bowl is trying to make a push, so they opened it up.

Someone asked Jim Nagy this exact question last year. He said no plans to change it and looked mystified at the confusion. He’s not the smartest.

Some of the ND kids went but pretty much none of the other kids from other schools went that played longer in the playoffs this year. So that’s kind of another newer wrinkle that probably will have some talent not available for this event going forward.

I agree, its a ridiculous thought. I was just imagining the hypothetical, and of course the phrase "any given sunday"
Having to listen to the inane narratives that Collinsworth dreams up and regurgitates while following the actual storyline of the game is always annoying.

Impressive that he both went back to college, and might get drafted in the first round of another sport at his age.

Archie was always looked upon as a great QB who, if given a team with even a modicum of WR talent, would have been classed with the Grieses, Tarkentons, and Stablers. He never had any talent around him, save for Tony Galbreath, who set an NFL record for most catches by a RB in a game with 14, and retired in the mid-late 80s with the most catches and yards by a RB in NFL history. RB Chuck Muncie was also on the team in the mid-late 1970s but largely underperformed except for 1979 and eventually went to the Chargers where he had more visible success.
Archie Manning was one of those QBs who was viewed as a victim of circumstance whose team was managed so poorly he never really got a chance to experience the cycle a bottom feeder eventually realizes in achieving success through drafts and trades. The Saints only finished as high as second place in their division once during his tenure as their starting QB.

And picks for AJ
Call me crazy but Milton is the most important re-sign of the offseason. People will say Baun, and I wouldn't blame them

I guess the question really is, do you think you can/already have Milton's replacement on the line?
Can Ojomo be a reasonable fill-in to go along with Davis and Carter?
If so, Milton can be let go even though I have *no* desire to see him leave.

Yep, I'll say Baun, and it's not about the relative value of LB vs. DL, or any slight to Milt, it's that the step down from Milt to Ojomo/Davis is significantly smaller than that from Baun to the vast gaping maw where players are supposed to be, coupled with Howie's known predilection for drafting, and drafting quite well, at DL, whereas he's been largely deficient at drafting LB, Dean falling into our laps notwithstanding.

I believe in Ojomo, but you can never have too many D line options, especially in this system which relies so heavily on non-blitz pressure
There's an argument to be had that Dline is more important than MOF coverage right now.
Howie loves drafting DL though and if that's his plan, so be it. But it better hit

Need the contracts to have the discussion. I'm not giving Baun the Fred Warner contract, but I have no idea what he wants. I'm guessing someone is going to give Milton Williams something like 5/125. Or more. With high guarantees.

Chiefs are officially wearing white. The Eagles, as the home team, get to select which jerseys they wear so they'll seemingly be wearing Midnight Green.
There's a rule against wearing Alternate's in the Super Bowl but the Rams found a loophole/exception in their two recent Super Bowls which allowed them to wear something different. Not sure the Eagles would push the issue for Kelly Green anyway.

I'm thinking Baun will land on 3 years, 36 million with 15 in guarantees - but we'll see eh
Milton...I just have a bad feeling Howie will bet on himself to replenish Milton's output, which is probably the wise thing to do. We draft DL well, and we need to think about what money will be free when Carter's contract is up for extension.
