    Is it me or why didn’t they just franchise Walker?

    Yeah, Chris Johnson was a popular pick on a lot of boards. In hindsight, no universe in which he makes it to the Hawks at 32.

    Is it me or why didn’t they just franchise Walker?

    Walker's TD burst vs the Rams in that 39-38 game, a play only Walker could make. That and his game vs Stealers. We don't win that Lombardi without Walker or without Shaheed. Price could have what it takes to replace Walker's impact He might get tackled at the 5 or 10 on 2 long TD runs Walker...

    2026 DRAFT PICK #32: RB Jadarian Price

    Yes, agreed. K9 spoiled us with his elite speed and agility. His 10 yard TD run against Pittsburgh showed that off. Also, K9 has better top end to run away from the speediest defenders and get to the house. Price is only a small tick slower in football speed, but sometimes he will get caught...

    2026 DRAFT PICK #32: RB Jadarian Price

    I think K9 has a little more elite acceleration and quickness and run-away-from-the DBs speed, but Price has better north-south running skills without Walker's East-West problem. Sometimes the East-West BS worked out for Walker, because of his elite acceleration and lateral agility. Price is...

    Some whine with that 4th down

    3 man rush?!! I believe it was actually a 2-man pass rush that Stafford faced, as Lawrence was planned to be pass-rushing, but instead peeled off to cover Williams. So in theory Stafford could have ttaken more time to find the perfect throw.

    Bad call thread. Divisional Round (9ers vs HAWKS)

    Bad ANNOUNCER call: I think it was Brady calls it a drop on Jennings when IMO Riq reached in and knocked it out, not a drop. Give credit to the defensive play! Especially sweet for Riq vs the Niners given the opening day loss where Riq got worked.

    This 5 seed scenario isn’t too shabby either.

    Assuming the Hawks get the 1 seed after thrashing the Niners on Saturday, I don't see any team other than the Hawks or the Niners beating the Rams in the playoffs. It could easily be an all-NFC-West NFC Championship Game. I haven't studied the brackets, but I was hoping that the Rams loss to...

    Well it's apparent..

    Yeah, the shin thing was a get-out-of--jail-free card for the replay officials, but still the correct call.

    Our GM is solid AF

    Pete's pattern was pursuing shiny objects while neglecting the trenches and failing in the due diligence on character and talent evaluation. I remember Pete justifying the Harvin trade by calling him a first round talent acquired for a good price and better than anything the hawks could get in...

    This Defense is...

    The run game looked better overall, but Carolina did a nice job of plugging up the running lanes for Walker. It was disappointing that Carolina pass runs was able to sack and harass Darnold so much and keep him from getting set and and able to launch lasers downfield. I expect that pressure...

    Elijah Arroyo

    OMG The ghost of Charlie Whitehurst lives on in the heads of .NET members! Is this because it's getting to be the Christmas season, and Mr. Whitehurst's more well-known name was "Clipboard Jesus". Besides, I always thought Checkdown Charlie was a bit of a misnomer because his ONE moment of...

    Elijah Arroyo

    On the pick, I think when Sam analyzes the tape, he'll rethink what he saw and his choice to even throw the ball, and he'll certainly regret throwing it high and extra mustard instead of to Arroyo's body. Are Arroyo's hands a little suspect? Or is it 100% on Sam? It seems like AJ Barner cleanly...

    Riq Woolen Maturing and Improving Focus?

    The encouraging part is he's now acting more like he cares. Sort of like getting involved with females. The one who makes extra effort to make you happy, and seems to care, it's easier to overlook her perceived failings (as if we men were perfect, lol ), but if she seems to be all and only...

    Riq Woolen Maturing and Improving Focus?

    Well,yes, it was complete BS and bonehead on Riq's part, but the ref, well IMO they are going to call what Riq did as taunting, times out of 10. Is that in line with how you meant it?

    its no longer debatable whether this defense might be...

    This week vs the Falcons was a great outing for Sam, not because he lit them up, but because he mad wiser choices overall, and the one pick I'm sure will be a learning experience, both on recognizing a risky situation, and on ball placement, to hit the TE (Arroyo, at least) in the gut instead of...

    its no longer debatable whether this defense might be...

    Nice! I usually try to catch 49ers highlights to keep tabs on the enemy. If they're on MNF or TNF or SNF I may watch more of the game. It's been impressive what Shanahan did bringing in Mac Jones and having him play so well as to make us wonder if Purdy starts when back from injury. (Yes, We...

    Riq Woolen Maturing and Improving Focus?

    Yeah dumb taunting but nice recovery plays. As much as most of us probably rolled our eyes at Riq Woolen's dumb taunting penalty, he got his focus right pack and had some nice PBUs, one that I think stopped a would-be TD. I can't blame Riq too much on the taunting, because he made a nice solid...

    Well...We Won

    Ye, after like 5 or 6 4th conversions, things got rather concerning. Our pass rush needed to get home and get him on the groupd a couple of those times.

    Sam and the Ghosts

    I'm still all-in on Darnold. This game was a teachable moment for everyone, Sam, KuBIak, OL, skill players.Just don't throw 4 picks and HAwks win. I think everyone will rally round and find ways to make that little difference. OL holding blocks a count longer, WRs looking for ways to get more...
