Marable was successful in college and excelled in Birmingham of USFL.
Pre-draft buzz is inconclusive because of conflicting views and information.
He could be anything.....

I'm still waiting for the Patriots pile of cash to be spent on that All-Pro Tackle ken is talking about.....

I'm still waiting for the Patriots pile of cash to be spent on that All-Pro Tackle ken is talking about.....

Remember the post I wrote yesterday about teams looking everywhere for OL??

10 teams tried out 19 OL this week, 14 were OT.

As of 1:30 pm today not a single one was signed.

According to Mike Giardi, the main reasons:

1. Have not stayed in playing condition since the draft. Not enough time left to get them into playing condition.
2. Have gained excessive weight. See above.
3. Previous Injury that has not been rehabbed properly, did not heal properly or worse, the player did not follow rehab protocols and injury has greater than 50% chance of happening again.

Giardi says that teams will be watching the waiver wire very closely and most likely BB already has made calls to teams that he's previously dealt wit and laid the ground work for a potential trade. He says to watch for something with the Cardinals, Panthers or Falcons.

After two minutes I start to struggle a bit

Just signed an OL

Patriots reportedly agree to deal with offensive lineman Micah Vanterpool

Vanterpool is the second USFL player signed in as many days.

In his fifth and final collegiate season last fall, Vanterpool was named to the All-Mountain West second-team after starting 13 games at right guard. He did not allow a sack or register a penalty all season.

Our new All Pro tackle!

Played at guard but has skills at tackle and the length to go with it.
Small school gem!

• 2022 ALL-MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: OL - Micah Vanterpool, Sr., Hawaii,...Three-year starter who started all 13 games at right guard...Started 28 of 46 career games...Only offensive lineman in the conference and one of 14 in FBS to not allow a sack this season in at least 500 pass blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus...One of two offensive linemen nationally without a penalty in at least 900 snaps played according to PFF.

Seems like a good place to stash this away from the rest of the board. But for shits and giggles if the Chiefs win the SB again this year I plan to start a Mahomes is a system QB just to fuck with people.

ST guy? I thought we were pretty okay with the defensive front seven

Ezekiel Elliott is officially a Patriot. 1 year deal.

Not sure how I feel about this. He's an unlikeable guy IMO. Perhaps he can reinvigorate his career behind a shittier Patriots OL after being mediocre recently behind a great OL?

Most importantly to me, how does Rhamondre Stevenson feel about getting paid WAY less?

Dalvin Cook signed a 1 year deal with the Jets.

Report: Patriots Sign Three-Time Pro Bowl RB Ezekiel Elliott

Strong and harris didn't show much last year and they didn't do much of anything last week. If nothing else, it should light a fire under both of them. Stevenson is still in his rookie contract. Time to force BB's hand and extend his contract or whine and put himself in the doghouse. What would you do??

 

[YankeeRebel]

Fuck I would have preffered Cook

While @sharkymcwrath still wins for best avatar, you drew pretty darn close. It helps the sharkster that he has a better history of avatars.

For what it's worth, I can almost tasted both of them.
