Hoffman gesturing the Commander's defensive line is too small

This is really silly. I thought precedence has laid the whole OLB Vs DE to rest. You don’t get paid based on your run stopping ability as a DE. You get paid based on impact on game, mainly pressures and sacks. Are you suggesting TJ Watt should get paid less than Myles Garrett? Or even worse an average pass rushing DE who’s good at stopping the run like Chauncey Gholston?
Watt plays in a 3-4
Garrett plays in s 4-3

Might want to pay attention to football next time

Schoon was supposed to be a really good blocker but he has not been all that
I wish we could get the scoop on that pick. I actually like him Schoon probably better than most, but yes, he's not the best blocker and that's how we use him. I remember when we drafted him, I didn't realize he was that big, mostly because he was split off the line a lot at Michigan. And that was because Harbaugh knew he was more of a receiver. Mike talked that offseason about "owning the C gap" so it sounds like he wanted a blocking TE, but that's not what he got.

There was a video on that draft where they talked about Mazi and the third round pick but skipped Schoon. There must have been some disagreement on him that they didn't want to show.

Yeah they were 10 point favorites and beat a team that is allergic to the end zone and started Lance.

My brother-in-law is a Commanders fan. He called after the game and said he felt sorry for us. That hurt worse than the Cowboys losing.
Your BIL is an idiot (as respectfully as possible lol).
Comms needed a win and had to bench their young star QB. DAL was playing a guy just to up his value so you can possibly get a comp pick when he leaves in free agency.
DAL won by losing and get the 12th pick.
The fact the Commies couldn't do more than they did in an indictment on them.

It does have a lot to do with my post you originally copied and your response
It honestly doesn't. People's opinion of his having a podcast has absolutely nothing to do with his play, his conditioning, his future salary, his actions on the field, the position he plays, or any of the other things people take jabs at him for.

It's similar to the way people use any excuse to belittle Dak, for anything little thing he does. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty to criticize, regarding Dak's play this season, but the man can't utter two words without someone posting vitriol about what he said.

my REAL question was if you've ever listened to his podcast. I haven't. I won't. And I'm just curious if posters actually do.
Gotcha!
Usually it's a "why do you comment when you don't even know what it is" thing. Thank you for your patient clarification.

Well lets see, professional pride. Long standing rivalry. Winning attitude. That's a young up n coming team, seemingly not as far away as we are. So win!

And frankly, I don;t think either team tried terrible hard to win...er... THE GAME.

Blatantly drop a pass, fumble? Hmm...only so bad you can intentionally play.

Absolutely nothing. It's pile-on bitter for the sake of bitter from someone who's bitter. We know fans hate players because they get paid but now fans get out the anticipatory hate when they know a player's going to get paid.
I've never known @visionary to "pile on" though. Maybe I'm wrong, but that doesn't seem to be his usual thing.

Actually I do see Micah disappear in games. Everyone has. So claiming otherwise is dumb.
Just because he's not getting sacks doesn't mean he's disappeared. He's either getting pressures, drawing protection away from other (who still can't do anything), or forcing the opponent to change their game plan.

Does Hoffman also have a podcast, make idiotic comments on a daily basis, tap out of important plays, get run on by other teams and disappear in December and January?


Yeah, thought so
Yeah Parsons had a crappy game vs the Commanders :lmao:
There might not be another player that gets doubled or triple teamed more than Micah Parsons.

He actually does have a podcast called the 8th round where he says plenty of stupid stuff.

I listed the reasons
The biggest is that he is not a 4-3 DE, hes a LB who would be much better in a 3-4
He wants to be paid as a DE which he is not
You chose to address only one because all the others are indefensible

I wanted us to draft him when others here wanted more CBs.

But here is the fact. You cannot build a SB champion when your highest paid players are an above average QB, a good CB who cant tackle, a great WR and soon to be a LB paid at elite DE level

We are a team that prioritizes glitz and splash over substance and fans who don’t understand fall for it

I have consistently voiced my opinion against anything that i believe goes against building a SB roster

It is not “hate” or “personal” it is just how i feel a team should be built
Perfectly stated, my man. If it don't help us on the path to a SB win, I ain't interested.

Some just like to find "faults" and run with it. Uh oh, someone tweeted what Parsons said on his podcast? Team lost last week? Why isn't he training all night??

Yea, he says some stuff too candidly, but it's not like he's showing up on gameday. We know he isn't a great run stopper, but for 3 years he was crafted by Quinn to rush the passer first.
Hell, I'm no super fan of Parsons but I feel some go over the edge on ripping certain players.

He doesn't even have a big contract and for years some try to make boogeymen out of nothing.


Oh and Hoffman does have a podcast too lol. Maybe it's just an offseason thing but yea more players are trying it out.
Fans finding fault with players and running with it lost meaning to me when Romo was getting criticized for wearing his hat backward. When fans decided they don't like a player, they look for any perceived fault.

He will get paid as a pass rusher, which he is. T.J. Watt also is not an end, but he's the fourth-highest-paid pass rusher, and he received that deal in 2022 so it's equivalent to what the ones making more than him are getting.

Does Watt play in a 4-3?

Living in the DMV......my brother-in-law told me the same thing.
