🏈 2025 NFL Draft Thread

It'll drop as soon he takes the first snap on NFL.....

On the field is where he'll make it as long as he has the right OC and QBC.

What strikes me in this conversation is this is actually "following the process." It was imperative to hold the locker room together. Jalen was one of the keys. I see coaches being criticized for decisions when they are making them one step at a time.

What's our end result now?

While we don't know the results, we do know we have a pretty good QB and a pretty good WR room. The OL is coming around. We have a defense that likes to disrupt. And, there are some players there.

Is anyone willing to argue DeBoer didn't follow "The Process?"

The NFL has fined the Atlanta Falcons $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 after his 21-year-old son, Jax, was involved in the notorious prank phone call to Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft last Friday, according to NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero.

Shedeur Sanders prank call: NFL levies massive fines to Atlanta Falcons, Jeff Ulbrich

I know we all laughter after we saw this. But this coach need to be handed a pink slip.

Wish you had my back when I was on his ass about getting benched last year.

Casey...I don't tend to talk about players when they are still wearing Crimson. I just watch.

This is funny now that I think back about it. @Brandon Van de Graaff @Kirk Van de Graaff @doemasters

This is why I left that other site: one of a few reasons. While I don't talk about players or coaches ... it doesn't mean you ban someone who does.

 

[TerryP]

Here's a question to ponder.

Why did a mod (can't call him admin because he doesn't know the back end) on that other site scramble to register rolltidebama on pintrest?

I know you have doubts on what I'm saying. I may have mentioned I'd share my opinion when he was no longer an athlete at UA.

You can look within this thread and find evidence of people pointing to the same thing I said. Brandon mentions "after the UGA game." I said "he stopped listening to the coaches mid-season."

81 mentions his mental condition. I've pointed to this on a few occasions.

You can point to what you want. There is a plethora of reasons last season ended the way it did.

This is what I am saying as clearly as I can think of a way to say the following:

To suggest he is a man of character is not correct. He doesn't know who he is. His balls haven't dropped.

I just hate thinking the Coaches allowed it because it goes against what I believe it takes to be a successful coach. I keep holding out hope there is more than one way to skin a cat so to speak but at my core I believe if you comrpomise as a coach it will come back to bite you eventually.

How much experience have you had with the "Covid" generation?

To much but I get that. It is an odd group for sure.... It is hard for me to make that mental shift. Coddling is not they way in my opinion. I grew up with this mindset "The same things win that always won. We just have a different set of excuses if we lose" Paul Bryant...

This in a nutshell! Set back the social development of school age kids roughly 3-4 years with the bullshit lockdowns.

The problem I have with this statement is I don't see this as any type of excuse. It's a legitimate reason. We have a group of kids who are mentally weak.

In a sense, it's not a lot different than someone growing up in an ultra-religious home and then moving into the real world with no clue on how to negotiate life's problems.

Mentally underdeveloped, emotionally immature, then put in the national spotlight with a lot of money to boot. It's like adding sugar instead of salt to a dish: it's a recipe for disaster.

As you all know I don't have any kids. But, I can't simply forget being with a friend of mine and picking up his 2nd grade grand daughter from school and seeing all those elementary kids wearing masks. I remember thinking "how on earth are these kids going to develop when, basically, their "senses" have been handicapped by not being able to read facial expressions.

Parents these days (young adults in their 20s) frame of referrence to parenting is helicopter parenting. There is too much protectiveness in their approach. Kids need to experience life in the incubator of home, sports, outdoors, scouts, 4H, church, etc. And those mentoring them should be allowed to see the child grow, fail, grow, fail, grow, fail.... Unfortunately, parenting is geared as much about NOT letting your child fail but that truly handicaps the kid. Failure is a part a of life. And NOT having the skill & grit to learn from it, recover, & try again is enabling such a mental & physical incompetence in kids.

The irony, is kids aren't stupid. They can be the most brutally honest people. Many know they are NOT equiped for life & they do so many other things to be preoccupied with their heads in the sand because reality is so hard to deal. And Young men especially, they gravitate to men that are going to tell them the TRUTH. At least they'll know where they stand & how to improve. This is why Saban was so unique. It's going to be interesting to me to see how well CKD adjusts to the kids of today

It's a bit ironic that you are saying this with "code speak" to being a man is one of the narratives being floated.

Meaning that a narative in the program is learning about what it means to be a man? That's good news to me. It might be the undercurrent to CKD's success at previous stops.
