umm

you do know that the packers war room is in green bay, right?

i doubt any of the teams are in detroit

well, maybe detroit

Oh, shit... nah, never thought of that. God damn, technology just makes me feel like a dinosaur sometimes. I guess I still have this mental image of 32 tables on the floor of the room, with all these grumpy-looking old guys smoking cigarettes and talking with one another on the phones from 15 feet away.

OK, yeah, that was dumb. Let's just forget I said that.

I suppose next you're going to tell me that they have internet, too... right? Please; you gotta just ease me into this sort of thing a little bit a time.

The comp to Tyron Smith is fair. Smith was probably the best run blocking left tackle in football. I forgot one thing about the Packers types guys that can make second level blocks which Morgan is excellent at.

But Tyron Smith looks way bigger and has 3.5 inch longer arms. This is a weird looking dude. Looks small for his size to me. Who was that dude from Indy who was light as fuck on his feet but sucked balls?

I think even Detroit brass hates being in Detroit. They probably are somewhere in Florida or along the California coast.

He is similar in stature to Zack Tom as I said. Smith was indeed a mauler, but if you get under guys you can get push. Morgan is a really good run blocker. Smith also didn't pass block like an elite LT. Again, Morgan might be just as good in that category.

Partial - when/why did you change your name?

The Vikes and Loins have both gu.tted the middle of their drafts with those first-round moves. Damn.

Of course, I have no idea how good the guys they got will be. But there's more pressure on the organizations for those moves to work out, because they've got fewer picks now. Heck, I think the Vikes only have like three picks total or something crazy.

Lots of talent left in the next two rounds, I think.

Ouch. Reminds of a rookie auction fantasy drafter that blows their budget on two top 10 players and has nothing left to finish his roster and then sees one of the studs go down and their team finish last in the league. Vikes better use that FA money wise to plug needs.

Wonder if Detroit hadn’t jumped us if we would’ve taken that cb - Arnold. We’ll never know.

[Fritz]

I was wondering the same. I don't see Stokes making a big comeback, and the Alentines are okay but . . . and Arnold seems like he's just going to be really good, all the way around.

But I do think if Guter thought that highly of him, once he slid to maybe 20 Guter would've gone and gotten him.

Well, if Captain Morgan can hold down a tackle spot for ten years, it's all good.
