Ok, what does “IOL” mean? My best guess is Inside Offensive Lineman. And why are we just willy nilly making up new names for football position groups anyway? Another recent-ish one was “EDGE.” Where the hell did that come from? Who decided we should start calling some DEs and LBs “EDGE”?

https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2020/3/26/21195639/chris-hubbard-staying-with-browns-via-new-contract-what-are-the-teams-plans-for-him An article with some of the details. It’s a significant pay cut for Hubbard. Kind of a classy move on his part, likely spawned out of necessity, sure. I’m hard pressed to think of a player who reworked his deal so significantly to stay with their team.

“Olumba was an undrafted free agent out of Portland State. He was signed by the Dallas Cowboys in 2018 to add to the team a taller, rangier corner. He spent the 2018 season on the Cowboys practice squad and most of the 2018 season there as well.” Incredible editors that rag has. So sounds like a depth guy.

I get the impression Berry was given a green light and a blank check. Glitzy moves so far. Gives you an idea of the directive for the season which appears to be going for it.

Case is an odd name. I carry shit in you. Then l open you and take the shit out.

This was what l wondered about when l saw the blip. How well does he block? I guess it’s mixed results. Probably means there’s still room for a primary blocking TE or two on the roster.

Oh stop...

Viruses don’t fare so well in heat and sunlight. Certainly not modern medicine, but cheap and available some days.

And pool is sometimes called billiards. Now that we’ve settled that different sports can be called different things, l’ve never seen a reaction like this to an infectious disease. It’s almost like we’re treating it like the like a disease that turns people into zombies. We are not only cancelling sporting events, but also rock shows, antique shows, quilting gatherings and girl scout meetings. This is going to affect some serious bottom lines if it continues for a chunk of time. It almost feels like a trial run, or a fire drill for when the real zombie apocalypse virus hits us.

Dopey probably has something to ease his pain and suffereing.

Suck what? I had very few qualms with Kirksey’s play when healthy.

Sounds like a good career move to me. You think those DTs are gonna be extra feisty going against their union president? I think not.

I read a McManamon article a month or so ago where he basically interviewed a PFF type guy to look at our current roster with an analytical eye and he basically agreed that an OG isn’t the most impactful position to gain an edge and he thought we would be fine going forward with Teller.

Wow. Hats off Matt Ryan.
