Josh McDaniels wants to do RBBC like they did in New England. I think Mingo posted something about this earlier but has to make Josh Jacobs pissed in his contract year.

Did you all block me?

Yes. We took a poll…..that you obviously couldn’t see because you’re blocked.

I heard rumblings of the rumor.. Thanks for confirming.

Looks like Pump and SpringStein unblocked me but nobody else!

I just voted no because it was him.

Russell Wilson at Wisconsin: The oral history of a game-changer

After transferring from NC State, the now-Denver Broncos QB had two decisions to make: Wisconsin or Auburn? Football or baseball?

theathletic.com

An awesome read on Russ. Some snippets for those who don’t have a subscription

Brendan Kelly, defensive lineman: Two or three days after showing up that summer, Russell calls a team meeting to introduce himself. Russell decides before we have this meeting, I’m going to have this seven-on-seven practice and they went out on the field and did this specifically right below the team meeting entrance. We were like, “Who is this transfer that has the audacity to come in here, call a team meeting and then do this? This is bullsh–.” By the time we got there and watched him throw … we just shut up.

Hemer: It felt like the length of the field. It was this moment of like, “Whoa, this is different.”

Partridge: That summer, anytime I came into the building he’d be in that offensive staff room all by himself. And he looked like a total nut job if you didn’t know what he was doing, because he was in there continuing to repeat the huddle calls to nobody. It was “A Beautiful Mind” situation.

Konz: The quarterback position, at least at that time in my mind, was more of a thinker’s game. But then when he showed his athletic ability and working out, you knew he had an edge.

Bielema: One of the first times he was around our players, he literally said, “Hey, have you guys ever played crossbar?” You’d stand on the 20, 30, whatever it was, and he threw it and he hit the crossbar every time accurately.

Montee Ball, running back: The immediate first thing is the arm strength. And then No. 2 was his mobility, just being able to scramble around the pocket and make plays out of nothing. I remember a bunch of us players talking and it was like, “This is the missing piece that we need.”

Taylor: He had 4.5 speed. He could outrun linebackers and some DBs.

Konz: He was just outpacing everybody in running drills. You don’t really expect all that much from the quarterbacks. I expect the wide receivers and the running backs to work on sprinting and things like that.

Chris Borland, linebacker: Everything viewers have seen in the NFL, he did daily at Wisconsin.

Hemer: I remember doing the two-minute drill in practice and just being mad because we couldn’t stop him.

Taylor: If anyone got an interception off of Russell Wilson in practice, you got the MVP of the day in practice because you picked off Russell Wilson. Because he didn’t throw any picks in practice.

Dude. Block you again? This implies an actual UN-blocking. ….which never happened.

Is he drinking a beer too?

 

[LGM]

Borland.... sigh.

 

[SpringStein]

After Lock’s 3 INTs last night, Geno named the starter we face week 1.

it’s obvious Lock can read defenses 4 years in.

the worst QB competition since the one last year in Denver

Raiders cutting Kenyan Drake. Zamir White time! Can Josh Jacobs stay healthy?

They paid him more to be a backup RB this past season than the Franchise Tag cost for the RB position. Now seeing the Raiders might be cutting their 1st round pick tackle from a couple of years ago.
