That's what can happen when you split the vote with a teammate......but Mayfield should win this thing hands down, the race is for place and show.

flyingfooldoug Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 It sounds like Chubb is right in the running. Could be a bit of homerism but I’m going to say he finishes third with Baker winning it. And the kid from NY finishes a forgettable 2. And that will turn on the faucet of east coast media tears. Someone should gather all them tears too. I bet they’d make a good road de icer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the Titans new coach figured out that Henry is a monster in the second half if you use him to soften up defenses the first half (like Saban did), Henry was on a tear the last several games of the season. Plus he is a devastating blocker. Unstoppable in short yardage situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggins7919 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I had such a great time watching Nick Chubb this year. That 92 yard touchdown run was simply incredible, and it came when we needed it the MOST. We were fresh off a devastating loss in Tampa, things were going sideways, and our team was facing an offense that could score. We were backed up on our own 8, and boom. I never get tired of watching that run, seeing Callaway point the way, and of course....the play call in Spanish from our announcer. I'd be interested to see what Chubb's stats are in short yardage situations. The few times he didn't get it the first, it appeared to be more of an offensive line issue than anything. We had a 3rd and 1 against the Ravens in week 17 that we didn't get, and it hurt. To me, and I have no stats to back this up, it seems like 3rd and 1 is much harder than it used to be. Now, we lost our competent lead blocker Orson Charles a few weeks back, but even with him we didn't seem to run a bunch of I-Formation on short yardage. I tend to like having a lead blocker on short stuff, but I'm sure coaches know better than me. I was elated drafting Nick Chubb, and I'm really happy that he was healthy and able to show how good his hands were. He's also a humble guy who says all the right things, and his nickname of "Old School" is extremely appropriate. What a pick, what a season for him.

gumby73 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I remember having the hardest time deciding on either wanting Nick Chubb or Derrius Guice when we got to round 2.We chose Chubb at #35 than D.Guice finally went #59 to Redskins. I still think Guice will be a really good pro & not yet can we compare him to N.Chubbs rookie season. But I can't remember why Derrius Guice fell out of his Round 1 projections? Does anybody remember why? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody remember why? thanks Yes! I was definitely in the Guice camp, and I agree with you that he'll be very good. I hate that he got injured so early. I blew out my ACL a year ago last week, and I'm still struggling to get back to health. In fact, I'm nowhere near healthy yet. Granted, I'm 39 and obviously not a pro athlete, but I blew out my ACL and MCL, and it really messed me up. No more competitive bball and volleyball, and might not ever get back. I really feel for these guys who suffer nasty injuries. They do a number on your mind. Now, in terms of why he fell, I believe it just had to do with his position, and we know how RBs aren't quite as valued as much as past times, and many teams prescribe to the theory that they can find a quality back later in the draft or even in free agency. I also don't think Guice was adept at catching the ball, and in today's NFL, that's important. One more thing about Chubb. His wiggle and vision were infinitely beyond what I expected. And we also figured out that he's got the extra gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hit the floor in under 3 minutes she cuts in front of me at gaining burning speed. Do i collide or the spin a ram'a? Well the choice was the never before done spinning Salchow . Well I landed it! but never came out of my locked up twisted pelvis position for weeks, that i still get a doc to snap in place after 10 years. Back Surgery? No Thanks! anywho, i think i found something on it..And i think he refused to showup Day 2 also.. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/27/17293968/lsu-derrius-guice-nfl-draft-fall-washington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody remember why? thanks A bunch of off-the-field stuff. He was late to a lot of meetings with teams. He claimed to be asked if he was either homosexual or homophobic at draft combine interviews and when the NFL investigated it they couldn't find anyone asking any such questions. So a lot of teams were just afraid he was going to be a headache. But once he fell far enough the talent available at that draft position outweighed the chance for headache I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, literally. I was an avid skater, and I was warming up, starting to really hit the gas, and the unthinkable happened. One of my daughter's friends dropped a glowstick, one little item no more than 4 inches long. As I come around the bend, cross-skating to pick up speed, my outside skate SOMEHOW finds the glowstick. The glowstick doesn't just skitter away, oh no. It somehow wedged itself perfectly in between the wheels and totally locked them up. It immediately catapulted me straight up into the air, and the last thing I remembered thinking before hitting the ground was, "OMFG. I'm dying at a skating party." I hit the floor with the the force of a 10k megaton nuke, and the entire party came running over to me. I survived, although I almost killed the kid who dropped the glowstick, but suffice to say, skating is now OUT for me. Lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fell in love with the game playing in a Power league at the Painesville YMCA back in the early 70's that was run and coached by a former Olympian. Played right there's no more beautifully choreographed game. My playing days ended in the late 80's at a Houston area Y when my right thumb ended up behind my right hand after a block.

Doc in the ER looked at my softball-sized ankle and said, "We'll X-ray it, but it's broken." Came back later and said, "I have bad news. It didn't break".

I took volleyball as a PE course the summer after my freshman year and on my team was this guy who seemed to be able to really get up there at only 6'1" or so. So I just started setting the ball for him every time I got my hands on it and suddenly we had a good team. And since we played most of the summer we became good friends and during our Jr. year I recommended to him to talk to the coach about switching him to safety. He made All-American S, got drafted second round by the Colts and got a Superbowl ring as a CB. I still tell him from time to time he owes me half his NFL retirement $$ for convincing him he belonged at safety. LOL!😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
