I think it’s legitimate to question if the offense will remain elite. We just won’t know if Ben Johnson was the mastermind until games are played. Not surprised to be the underdog on the road against a team expected to be good. If the offense is still explosive and unpredictable and the defense is at least what it was end of last year this is likely a win.

I hope this isn’t the hype that turns into a 6-8 sack season.

This could totally be Khalil Mack. Initially makes an impact but in the end didn’t really bring more than he cost.

Not disagreeing with you about chemistry and leadership, it’s just that when I read that my mind immediately went to Jerry Jones spreading rumors to not lose too much of the fan base, he has to keep butts in seats until he can use those draft picks. I guarantee he sees this as very own Hershel Walker moment. Jimmy Johnson takes too much credit in his mind for the original.

Fingers crossed that Ben Johnson was not the mastermind behind the offenses massive success.

I don’t think this is true. I think they saw him as overlooked.

Just randomly stumbled on Jim Abbott highlights. I haven’t thought about him in a long time, but what an amazing story. Born in Flint.

Cook to see the defense step up. Offense is offensive.

Exactly what I said when I read the title.

The side-by-side is cool because you can see how the reds on one side overlap white/blue on the other. Shows that’s they typically get hot on one side when the other cools off. Helps explain how they’ve keep the lead.

Dickerson is my favorite announcer of all time in all sports. Absolutely amazing.

My intelligence is debatable but I am a terrible writer.

GT is also a variant of fancy sports cars.

Missed assignment edit: which is a mental error rather than a physical limitation/lack of skill.

It's not just trick plays, it's trick plays that actually work. Anyone can call anything a trick play. For example,

I was ridiculously excited about TeSlaa on draft day, and I had never heard of him before he was drafted. Googling him and seeing his 40 time and reading that he was pissing off defenders run blocking in practice at the senior bowl sealed the deal for me. He will probably be a nobody at the end of his career, but who knows.

I don’t even care it was in the preseason. That’s incredible.

I came across this on accident. Many of you probably knew this already, but I didn’t and holy crap.

It would cost a lot, but ... I don't know, 24 and 26 year-old elite pass rushers. That would make a bunch of defensive positions better immediately.

I wish baseball allowed teams to have pitchers that can get outs after the 6th inning. Weird rule but whatever.

Imagine if the Tigers had traded Skubal as part of a deal years ago for a reliever. Sometimes you need to trust your own scouting and development. Maybe the other teams were focused on prospects the Tigers have high confidence in. i don’t put much stock in the prospect rankings anymore. Good for letting us know who is who in the minor leagues but they are just subjective evaluations. I would prefer they trade minor leaguers for proven MLB talent, but I have no idea how to evaluate or develop young talent. I do know that this leadership has in all likelihood gotten the Tigers into the playoffs in consecutive years. That’s not something I would have expected a couple years ago.

Pretty good chance I’ll be in the bay area for work the week of the A’s series. Might try to get to Sacramento for a game.
