Ever since Travis Smith left Trivium they haven't been able to hold onto a drummer, I hope this one sticks around because he's pretty damn good.
Speaking of Trivium......
This thread could use some German metal.
Wescott and Shaka must be BFFs or some shit because he's constantly slobbing all over Shaka's knob, legitimately the last person defending Shaka that isn't a troll. The run near the end of the season was impressive, but the season as a whole was squandered. It ended with a colossal dud as the 2nd worst team in the conference quickly jumped out to a massive lead and never looked back, in Austin no less.
The only reason Texas would've reached the NCAA tourney is because the vast majority of the bubble teams shit themselves down the stretch. Tech would've likely emerged victorious in the Big 12 tourney, if somehow Shaka managed to beat Tech again the KU game that followed would've amounted to a death sentence. A one and done in the NCAA tourney would've been the most realistic outcome, if anything Shaka has demonstrated an ineptitude to accomplish much of anything during March madness throughout his tenure at Texas.

Clowney wasn't bad by any means prior to the 2019 season. I wouldn't place him among the elite pass rushers, but he was effective. The one stat that stood out was :
That's literally a TFL every other tackle against the run.
Interesting pairing. His physical ability is there, his struggles in recent years have been largely mental. Marcus could throw beautiful deep balls, but he looked for the check downs far too often or scrambled out of the pocket at the slightest hint of pressure after his right fibula injury following the 2016 season.
There were times he could drop a perfect dime like this :
They had to do something to fix their toilet paper offensive line. They better hope they end up with the 2016 All-pro version or 2019 version and not the 2017 or 2018 version that led to his 5th year option being declined before the beginning of the 2019 season. It'll be glorious watching Baker fail with that stacked offense.
Johnson signed a 3 year extension during the 2018 season, he's under contract until 2022. The cap hit is less punishing in 2021, he would only account for 3 million in dead cap. If the Texans released him this season he'd account for $16 million in dead cap.
It's a shame that this ass clown is associated with the University of Texas. I laughed my ass off when Boyd threatened to beat his ass, I face palmed when he talked about Texas players being paid during the 2009 season to drum up attention to his social media and get his name out there.
Cleveland being Cleveland.
That Tannehill contract continues to look like a bargain : http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001106332/article/vikings-kirk-cousins-agree-to-2year-66m-extension
This will go down as one of the most one sided trades of all time. The NFL has become a passing driven league, why would you trade away one of the most dominant receivers who shined despite a carousel of trash throwing him the ball early in his career for a RB with a bloated contract who hasn't had any kind of meaningful impact since 2016?
That contract is below market value. Could he end up the next Nick Foles? Yes. Could he have a repeat of last season and continue to grow in a system he flourished in? The answer is also yes.
The cap is increasing $10 million for 2020, that was announced today. Anthony Castonzo becomes the 2nd highest paid LT resigning with the Colts for 2 years at $33 million.
The Jags are desperate to escape their cap hell. Campbell can still ball the fuck out, Baltimore got a steal.
