I'll bet if Linderbaum's brother was dating Taylor Swift he'd be All Pro instead of Jason.

Idk got kinda lucky with LaPorta over the other kelce brother though. Travis has more catches and yards on the season!

So St Brown is one of the best receivers in the entire league but isn’t good enough to get into the Pro Bowl. Got it. Makes total sense.

Jeremy Shockey - holy moley that’s a blast from the past.

Congrats to both of those two Hawkeye legends!

And who would have thought it wouldn’t be the two first rounders taken in the same draft class.

Way back when, I remember Coach Fry made the determination to use the TE more in the offense and had them stand vertically at the line of scrimmage.

TJ was also having a nice year before he was injured

Should make Abdul's recruiting job just a bit easier.

I don't remember the specifics why....

I don't remember the specifics why....

As I recall, Hayden said they would have a better view of the defense and could read what was going on.

 

[BigOHawk]

This is true, always wondered if that hindered stance, blocking and other techniques was too young at the time to delve in.

 

[Herky T Hawk]

This is true, always wondered if that hindered stance, blocking and other techniques was too young at the time to delve in.

He said it allowed them to block down onto the defenders too. Basically, use gravity to their advantage. Of course that goes against the mantra of low man wins.
