I didn't say he was better suited to play on the outside. I also didn't say he was better suited to play on the inside either. I think he has the versatility to play both, which not every corner can do. He has said that he likes playing on the inside because he is closer to the action. He...

Some surprising candor by the ousted teams. Heat making it clear that they are not keen on giving Buckets an extension this offseason. The Clippers meekly saying that they hope that Harden and George come back. The Sixers saying they are clearing house other than Embiid and Maxey. You...

I have no idea where he is going to play. Whether he plays on the outside or at the slot he's one of our top 2 corners. My guess will be he plays outside on 2 receiver sets and it will be situational on 3 receiver sets. But Macdonald is a big fan of deception so who really knows what he...

He played the outside extensively last year. https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/seahawks-rookie-devon-witherspoon-is-best-cornerback-in-nfl-according-to-pro-football-focus/ The article is from late October so not complete but at the time, Spoon had 199 snaps on the outside and 122 on...

I love the idea of Carter/Murphy. I don't love the idea of Woolen/Jackson as are our corners.

Well if we drafted Carter last year we probably draft a corner in the 1st round this year. So would you rather have Carter/Mitchell or Witherspoon/Murphy? I'm personally pretty happy with Spoon and Murphy and the concerns about Carter long term still linger for me. I think you are being...

From everything I've read, the Hawks didn't think there was any chance that Murphy would still be available at 16. They thought he would be a top 10 pick. Which makes complete sense given that the first 14 picks were all offensive players. While my pre-draft preference was Fautanu, I...

That's a great article. Lots of great insight even if it is also part propaganda

It was. Knicks turned it over a couple of times. An incredible achievement for sure which is why there is even a 30 for 30 about it. 7 points on 2 possessions probably hasn't happened that many times ever as it would require a player get a 4 point play and a 3 point play on back to back...

Yeah but that was 3 possessions

Has anyone ever scored 7 points on 2 possessions in the last minute of a game?

The league overstepped but it wasn't some attempt to sabotage the Sixers. Nut always goes for the most extreme position.

You focus on PON on Day 1 and 2. Day 3 is purely BPA because the odds are so low that they will actually hit.

We drafted corners in the 5th and 6th round. If we are expecting a 5th or 6th rounder to be a starter then we are setting ourselves up for failure. We have a bunch of safeties on the roster. Jenkins, Love, Wallace, Reed, plus Okada and Sutherland who were on the PS last year. I don't think...

Where do you see me bailing on Woolen?

I really loved this draft. I don't know whether the specific players were the right picks or not. Honestly, nobody does. But I love that they focused on the line scrimmage. 6 of their 8 picks were line of scrimmage guys. So much is going to rely on how well the linebackers we signed do and...

That's the PFF grade. I was going by the numbers in Footballer Reference which had Woolen with 79 passer rating and Devon with an 81.

Woolen also had the best passer rating of all of our corners. I think it is possible that MacDonald is concerned that Riq won't be a good fit in his defense and thus he might be looking to move him. I think it is ALSO possible, and probably more likely, that he doesn't think that Jackson...

Woolen will never be a great run defender most likely. But plenty of great corners were mediocre run defenders. The bigger question for Riq is about his ability to play press man coverage which tends to require more physical play from the corners and is something that MacDonald likes to...

I think the most interesting thing about the upcoming season is to see how Macdonald changes the front 7.

Tyrice Knight #14 over LB..

Christian Haynes #4 Guard in the draft, #2 who played guard in college..

Here's Brugler's take on our picks from before the draft... Byron Murphy #1 DT in the draft..

Which is a pretty solid grade given our draft capital.
