Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[SSVol]

Yet some were all in on that expert in the UK who said the US could have 2.2 mil deaths from this. Never mind his faulty assumptions or poor past predictions.

If the mortality is 1% and the R0 is 3.5, 2.2M deaths is exactly what could happen if the virus was allowed to run unchecked. Obviously it was never going to be allowed to do that, but that possibility is exactly why the entire world got shut down. I still haven't seen anything that refutes a R0 range of 1.5 to 3.5, and I still think mortality is about 1%, but I'm super open to hard data that proves otherwise.

But I'm done. No more data.

I personally think Cuomo really botched this one. Not a fan of Trump, either.

Not taking the bait.

Not fishing. JMO.

@Bassmaster_Vol so who we getting this weekend, hintsss

Or are we going to be excited for a totally different reason

There's talk around town that the draft may go better than we think and the staff thinks this will pick up momentum on the trail

 

[drvenner]

I was going to start a rando LB transfer portal thread, but realized it would just degenerate into a JG debate, so I have decided not to.

You're welcome.

Hey, that's Maui's catch phrase.

You will never ever get the proof you want about Covid-19 before you will accept the truth. We are never going to test enough people in enough places, and the data will never be clean.

I believe what common sense tells me, that in some tightly packed areas like in Italy, and the New York city area, they had/have extremely high infection rate of the total population.

I haven't paid any attention whatsoever to US data. It is much too tainted to be useful.

Those tightly packed places are where the majority of people live, so that's kinda a big deal.

The current models that predict about 60k deaths are likely going to start inching up. Mitigation hasn't really stopped new cases, only stopped the exponential growth. Since states are gonna start opening back up, the new case rate will increase again, and with it fatalities.

But I'm done with expressing my views here.

Draft talk:

Who would you draft? Burrow or Tua?

What are the Titans needs? Who do you see them taking in Rd 1?

What rounds do JJ and DT go? Does Quez get drafted? Warrior? DWA?

Burrow

Need a corner

DT=2, JJ=4, Quez=6th, DWA=randomly drafted in the 7th, warrior= UDFA but has a solid career

 

[Pepe]

No

Come on down to Atlanta. Restaurants open tomorrow and it’s my treat. I’ll shake your hand and we can share some chips and queso at Moe’s.


because there’s a real good chance we’re going to have a big celebration in the RF this weekend

No tnx

 

[you]

The one Crichton book that will never be adapted into a movie

Andromeda Strain?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

No
No tnx

suit yourself

 

[Rishvol]

Hey, that's Maui's catch phrase.

I don't remember him saying "degenerate into a JG debate"

 

[hotcypress]

Burrow

Need a corner

DT=2, JJ=4, Quez=6th, DWA=randomly drafted in the 7th, warrior= UDFA but has a solid career

I could see Titans drafting an o-line in the first round or two to replace Conklin.

 

[volatil]

The rest of the country wanting to see what happens to everyone in Georgia

 

[ndubvols]

Is Bituli not expected to be drafted? I personally feel like he’ll have success in the pros.

I’m really shocked by lack of talk about him

Well then you better hope to hell I am right, because otherwise all those people are still gonna die unless we all live in a troll hole for the next eighteen to twenty four months.

It's easy to see how when you have folks packed on subways and buses, or 200+ people all working/living in one building and using the same elevators. In most towns in TN the only buildings that actually have elevators are the hospitals.

You totally missed my point about those tightly packed areas. I think the true infection rate of the population in those areas is 25-40%.

Agreed. I know he didn’t time well at the combine, but I’d think scouts would see the film of our defense with vs. without him and realize his impact. He lacks a little on coverage, but is plenty fast sideline to sideline against the run imo. He was also a pretty effective pass rusher when he was sent on blitzes

Exactly my point, but even in a loosely packed rural area eventually it will get around to everybody in the next two years. It just happens way faster and more completely in densely packed urban areas.

He’s a tackling machine

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Alright I think it’s time I settle down and pick one NFL team and ride or die. So I need y’all’s help picking one. I’ve always either pulled for Peyton’s team or more recently my fantasy players. The obvious choice would be the Titans but I would like y’all’s opinion. Convince me. My stats:
Born in Knoxville and currently live there.
Went to high school in Alabama and Charlotte.
Went to college in Georgia and lived in ATL for 4 years.
Wife’s entire family is from Chicago.
Favorite colors besides orange are blue and green.

So is the Titans? Falcons? Panthers? Bears? Someone else?
