Monken is going to play the guy who best executes his offense.
Whoever that may be.
Berry has made the effort to improve the OL. Hopefully they will improve and have better depth.
Q should be at full strength with a better line in front of him.
We have added receivers in the draft. Rookies will need to contribute right away. Receivers and runners have IMO the shortest learning curve coming into the league because their skills rely more on pure ability rather than learning new techniques.
I don't know the impact of Rutenberg replacing Schwartz?
How we play and how many games we can win will depend most on the play of the quarterback.
One guy once was good and since being here as done little. In addition we have no idea if his twice torn Achilles will not snap again.
The other guy has seven games played. His true ability is still unknown because last year in all honesty he had little support around him. He flashed some and made mistakes which is hardly definitive.
At least it should be more entertaining for us fans.
I can understand the larger point you're trying to make.
I would be less skeptical of these cuts if we didn't have the DOGE saga as a backdrop (a series of cuts that showcased, among other things, a stunning lack of planning/thought and execution).
I am not surprised that you think not only should the criminals that attacked the capital be pardoned but also rewarded with our tax dollars. Juries convicted them, not democrats. But facts no longer matter for those living in Trumplandia. You have reached the point of disgusting.
That's what this is. A reward system for the CFT crowd. Criminals For Trump. Hate, violence and crime will be rewarded of you are committing it for the King.
Your timing couldn't have been better after the Mosque shooting in San Diego yesterday. Of course in Trumplandia what people think and feel seems more important than what people do.
I really liked how aggressive Allen and Mobley have been. It’s like they read about there bad play in the playoffs the last few years, and said enough!
I think CAVS win in game 7 again, making it 3 game 7’s in a row.
Cool stat from the broadcast last night: Cavs are undefeated in Game 7's since 2016.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed charges against an ICE agent in connection with the January shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national, in Minneapolis.
Christian J. Castro, 52, is facing four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis
The backstory:
The ICE-involved shooting took place near the 600 block of 24th Avenue North just before 7 p.m. on Jan. 14.
Initial reporting detailed federal agents were pursuing a man in a vehicle who had crashed into a snowbank. The man then ran to a nearby home, where a pursuing agent caught up with him and attempted to make an arrest.
An "altercation" between the agent and suspect then ensued, which led to two other people arriving from a nearby apartment, and all three attacking the officer – one armed with a broomstick, according to DHS.
"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life," DHS initially claimed.
Julio Sosa-Celis, 24, a Venezuelan national, was taken to the hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, while Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, 26, was also arrested in its aftermath.
Both men were charged with assaulting a federal agent in the aftermath of the altercation, but the DOJ later requested the charges be dismissed with prejudice, writing in a motion that, "newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the complaint affidavit."
Big picture view:
The shooting occurred one week after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE officers and ten days before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal officers. ICE agents under federal investigation
Dig deeper:
The U.S. Attorney’s Office later opened a criminal investigation into two ICE officers after video evidence allegedly showed the agents’ sworn testimony included "untruthful statements."
Court filings filed after the shooting showed the ICE officers’ accounts of the moments leading up to the shooting differed significantly from testimony provided by the two defendants and multiple eyewitnesses.
SoS is based on the previous year's results (which itself takes into account it's own SoS), but each team has turned over as much as 25-35% of its roster and 30% of all teams have new head coaches, staffs, and systems.
So, it sounds good, but there really isn't much you can reliably take away from it. It's predicting this year's corn crop based on last year's tomatoes.
According to most on draft day, this guy was massively overdrafted, and supposedly not on any team's radar.
I think this just reinforces that most draftniks & sites just really don't know and that reality is disguised by the ability to pick a lot of low-hanging "no-brainer" fruit in drafts. That said, the same applies to all front offices as well, given how many misses there are each year.
They're making a guess on future performance in one system against higher quality talent based on past performances in other systems against decidedly lower talent.... sometimes you'll hit, sometimes you won't.
I'm just a couple years shy of 55. At that point, I will have one in college and one not far off from it. So I would need to be able to pay for that. (about $200K total for the both) And with only my income supporting us all (and trust me, my income is below poverty levels) we do/will get financial aid.
My house is paid off, but needs many repairs, so I need about $50K just for that. Plus property taxes and home owners insurance are needed. My car is about $18K from being paid off (most of which I currently have in savings, but am keeping my savings for emergencies). I'd like to be able to take my children on trips to new places each year - and evenutally include grandchildren ($7-$10K per year). I'd also like to keep the kick butt health insurance I've currently got (seriously lucky with it, it's why I keep my low paying job - well, that, and I love what I do). I also need to have another $5k for my youngest son to get a car when he turns 16 to be the same budget as what I gave big brother.
To retire at 55 I'd need a few million. It also includes a cushion for medical issues as well. I'm thinking about $7 million. Much of it would be invested until I need it and I'd try to live off of interest/retirement/SS as much as possible.
