Well he was taken over a round earlier.

We took the Last of the Mohicans. That one can block occasionally but forget anything else.

 

[ravidubey]

Touchdown

 

[Sheik]

That was a TD, but they’ll fuck me since I have both Wilson and Sutton in my draftkings game.

 

[Sheik]

Touchdown

That was fantastic by Sutton.

 

[ravidubey]

Variable meaning what? That they move around a bunch and have a bunch of "positionless" players?

Or high variance in terms of boom/bust?

They have no predictable style. Mahomes said in prep they look at tendencies from the previous games and get ready for a range of styles

Still a hilariously stupid pick.

Like yea, Mazi may end up a bust but it's not because he lacks the talent based on where he was taken, it'd be more mental/demeanor than anything.

Schoonmaker was a clear full round (or slightly more) reach based on his talent.

 

[Stars]

What a freakin toe drag

 

[Sheik]

Fuckin kicker. I have his ass in my league too.

Dude, in ten years, these two will be viewed as clown picks.

 

[boozeman]

Damn that Kincaid is about as bad as the 'Poon. Scored a TD that was beyond a yard though.

Oh, it won't take that long.

Maybe but I'm still bullish on Mazi, you can see the movement ability for his size but he still looks like he barely knows what he's doing. He's getting better but too slowly for my tastes.

We'll know for certain by next year.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

The thing about Mazi, I don't think he's a nose tackle. He's much better moving around than just holding ground.

He might be a good player, but at a different position than we thought.

 

[boozeman]

9-8.

What a funky score.

 

[boozeman]

The thing about Mazi, I don't think he's a nose tackle. He's much better moving around than just holding ground.

The sad thing is, he doesn't have the feet to be anything else.

But hey, he likes to hit things. And stuff.

He has the strength to do it but his biggest issue is he's still consistently getting off the ball about a half second slow, and in the run game that difference means you're automatically out leveraged and at an immediate disadvantage.

Theoretically it's something that can be easily corrected and I think it'd make a huge difference if he can get it figured out, but we'll see.

So...how is he going to get faster getting off the ball?

Does he need Adderall or something?

 

[boozeman]

Damn, Berman is looking rough.

They let him go on TV looking like an old bum that needs a haircut?

He doesn't have to be great getting off the ball, just average for his size. The consistency with which he's a half second or so late makes me think it's a matter of not fully understanding what's happening in front of him (thinking too much basically), or just not operating with the proper urgency/focus.

He knows it's an issue since he was apparently asking Micah for help with it earlier in the year, and the coaches certainly know it's an issue, so I'd expect to see drastic improvement going into next year.

Mims was a very good receiver at OU, but he never seemed that fast to me. Guess he is.
