Not to jump past the NIU game, as I realize that's a fan no-no, - Clem - 5:52pm 9/3/24 (9) [View All]

  - Probably, ND is the much better, more talented team, - Clem - 6:56pm 9/3/24
    - Just because a portal player is from a name school, doesn't mean they're good. - AlbanyIRISH - 7:01pm 9/3/24
      - Of course, and not saying they'll be any good. But the influx of talent that earned scholarships - Clem - 7:20pm 9/3/24

Hey Albany...who won prediction thread? Sure wasn't the PUSSIES who picked an L. lol, I had 23-17 - Chrisb - 4:59pm 9/3/24 (5) [View All]
- THEISMANCARR and FinnMcCool both nailed it. [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 6:38pm 9/3/24

Would Jayden Thomas be a better weapon at TE? [NT] - oldirish - 4:36pm 9/3/24 (13) [View All]
- I basically like Jayden Thomas but his one weakness seems to be that he doesn't use his body well to - THEISMANCARR - 2:04am 9/4/24
  - Agreed. That's sort of my point. He's almost too big as a WR and not nimble enough. He plays more - oldirish - 7:43am 9/4/24
    - Thing I think you're missing is it's not his speed that's his weakness at WR.. - Chrisb - 9:20am 9/4/24
      - I don't disagree. That's the idea behind the move. To create better matchup probability wise. - oldirish - 12:33pm 9/4/24
        A guy who doesn't use his size advantage (as the bigger man) well, is highly unlikely - Chrisb - 1:58pm 9/4/24
        JT: 6-2, 218 - The avg height and weight of a college male linebacker is 6'2" and 220 lbs - oldirish - 11:18pm 9/4/24
        That's cool, but you left out a very key piece of data...what is avg height and weight of - Chrisb - 1:23pm 9/6/24
      - Exactly what I have seen from Thomas a few times. He does not come back to the ball well, or use his - THEISMANCARR - 10:36am 9/4/24
  - Agree. You have to use your body as a shield against the DB. [NT] - Irishize - 5:20am 9/4/24
- We have better TEs re: running game - D2 - 6:17pm 9/3/24
- No. He's an excellent backup to Collins and ND is set at TE. - Clem - 4:50pm 9/3/24
  - ^^^This^^^ [NT] - Chrisb - 4:54pm 9/3/24
- Maybe he looks slimmed down. He’ll be a target deep in the red zone. [NT] - Quest4twelve - 4:47pm 9/3/24
