I've been thinking about the slot corner position and how it's due for a lot of growth soon. In many ways it's a more difficult position than the outside. You need amazing speed and quickness and also physicality because every size and speed of receiver lines up in the slot sometimes now. Teams are going over the middle more and more because those are high percentage throws, and slot corners have so much more area to cover than outside corners. They need to play the receivers release no matter what direction it goes. Not only that, you need to be able to play the run like a safety and also you're in a great position to blitz off the edge frequently so you need to be good at that too. I expect slot corner salaries to increase, more talented corners with the right traits will be moved into the slot and it will become a premium position. Finally, teams are no longer in base defense the majority of the time; nickel is essentially the new base given how much teams are throwing. So in many cases slot corners are getting a LOT of snaps when they used to be somewhat limited.

Derek Lokey took a picture and kind of looked like a full-cheeked squirrel. Someone saw that and looked him up on LinkedIn. He's the director of client services. Then they put a picture of a squirrel on his picture instead of him.

I think the original pic was of him in a Chief's turtleneck taken from the team website or something, then SHOAH NUFF did his thing and the meme evolved.

Andy Benoit's complete season predictions, what do you guys think? I think the Lions and the Giants are too high and the Titans are too low (and maybe the Raiders as well). Beyond that it seems like a bunch of pretty standard conventional-wisdom picks that I cold easily see happening.quote:COMPLETE PROJECTED 2018 STANDINGS AND POSTSEASON

Glad Lokey is doing well. If they did a brain scan on Richie Incognito im pretty sure they would find scar tissue coated with garmonbozia and a yerk.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:What have the Falcons done to indicate they'll be any better than last year Not that I feel this way, but I think what he'd say is that last year when they went 10-6 in the toughest division in football after a slow start. They're the only NFC team to advance to the playoffs for the last two years. They beat the Rams handily and were one catch away from defeating the eventual champion Eagles and advancing to the Championship round. They've added the top drafted receiver in the class and their defense is uniformly young and seeming to get better every year. So I can see why he thinks the Falcons are so hot right now

Diva Cupcake posted:Jets have the absolute worst Super Odds of any team in the NFL at the moment. There's no chance them making the playoffs is conventional wisdom. Yeah there's a couple picks in there that are unconventional, but you need some of those. It's not like the season is going to go exactly as the oddsmakers predict, Rams and Eagles are two teams that weren't given much of a chance this time last year.

I think the middle of the AFC is so questionable that I wouldn't be surprised at anyone making the playoffs. Like would anyone really be that shocked if the Jets made it to 9-7 and beat out like, I dunno the Titans or Texans or Ravens for a wildcard spot?

Yeah I wouldn't be that shocked, although I think the AFC South, North and West have a better chance to send a team as the wildcard than the East. But at the end of the day the differences are small and the Jets going froma five win team to a nine win team with new quarterbacking is totally plausible. The AFC is probably going to a send several 9 and 10 win teams to the playoffs whereas the NFC might not send any

Ive said all year the Jets and Dolphins have way more talent than people give them credit for. Darnold ends up being legit they got scary fast. Miami needs Gesicki and Mcmillan to be legit. More variables.
