Kongbo has a defensive tackle body with a outside linebacker mindset. It’s why he hasn’t been successful.

He doesn't have near that frame to be a DT so no he doesn't have a DT body. The second part is accurate though. In his head he is some athletic QB sacking OLB machine....only he is not at all. He is terrible in space.

I haven't been paying close attention, but are y'all saying Rome is a dangerous place to travel? I've never been to Europe, and we are planning to go to the Ryder Cup in Rome (and see other parts of Italy) in 2022.

No more dangerous than any big city in the USA. Not violent crime or mugging, but pickpockets.

Definitely get a RFID blocking wallet.
Get pickpocket/purse snatcher proof backpack and purse. Carry wallet in front pants pocket. Pickpockets are extremely talented there.

Don’t use an ATM that’s outside at all.
Only ATMs inside a bank.

With that being said, Italy was one of my all time favorite trips.

Theeeeeeo. I actually like his game a lot. Personally I like he and Flowers on the backend when everyone is healthy... but I digress.

He’ll have his shot now

i guess so.

sucks for sham and tk. there's opportunity...sadly, i don't know that either can take advantage. what about Osbourne? think he gets a look?

i agree on Jackson, i think he's got some potential too. i just would have never thought we'd be having a discussion on concerns at Safety/Star. that was one position i thought we were gonna be fine with.

You literally couldnt make a better edge body.

agreed. too bad he has no idea how to use it. and he's just not fast enough. not sure if it's because he doesn't have good technique (get off, use of his hands and feet, or combo of all of it) or if he's just a tick or two too slow to take advantage physically, of what should be a good edge rusher.

He’s just not explosive or physical enough. Barnett would ride his ass constantly in practice calling him overrated.

Yeah Warrior has been about the biggest disappointment for me this year

I thought he would be a solid upperclassmen force back there but he is a liability.

Lol. According to the Braves page on mlb.com, they have played the Dodgers twice in the postseason, winning 3-0 in 1996 and losing 3-1 in 2013.

It's funny, because I have the exact inverse of your sentiment. When the Dodgers and Braves were in the NL west and the Braves were on their run in the 90s, it seems like there were several years where the division winner wasn't determined until the final weekend of the season, and the Braves always pulled it out. I still hate it when they play, because I always expect the Braves are going to win the series (regular or post season).

Edit: And history has obviously been unkind to my memory as well :) There was actually only one year (1991) where the NL West came down to the Braves or Dodgers, with Atlanta winning the division by one game that year.

I’m not talking about postseason as much as I am overall. Pitchers like Kevin Brown, Herschiser, Nomo, etc. always put up stellar effort against the Braves, even if the Braves get the win. The challenge has been to overcome that starting pitching.

To this year, it ain’t happening. Braves probably can only muster one win if that.

it's really kind of ridiculous to look back and really say that aside from Kamara and Barnett, and at times Trey Smith, almost every other blue chip guy we've gotten, has been a bust to date. Josh Malone was good his Jr. year, and i don't know that his overall lack of production was all necessarily his fault.... Tuttle has come on this year, thankfully. and i know injuries have been is big issue....but you get the idea.

Good. Guy has been a bust. And once again folks bought into the off season hype with him. Your Swansons of the board were telling everyone Pruitt was going to make him a very rich man next April lol.
