As someone who will buy NHL, Madden and possibly the odd shooter ... what console would I like better?

God if you listen to me, you're never going to learn anything. Listen to people like JuranBoldenRules, voodoochylde, Booch, Rids and TBieber ... those are just a few of the guys I see as must read posters.

Nobody has really been lost because of the split. Most of the absences were absent from OB prior to us splitting.

Busy little beaver, that Walters. I'm pretty sure he's a human.

Looking at the list of pending free agents we had, there were maybe 6 guys I viewed as "must haves" for next season. Within three days, Walters has locked up two of them. Wild, Bucknor, Sears and Washington are next.

Retired players... Wear with pride. Well, #11 Ken Ploen, #27 Dave Raimey, #77 Ernie Pitts, #64 Bill Frank, #55 Joe Critchlow, #7 Don Jonas, #52 Harry Walters, #30 Brian Herosian, #27 Jay Washington, #38 Willard Reaves, #35 Tyrone Jones, #10 Rod Hill, #2 Tom Clements, #70 Jeff Boyd.... Those guys come to mind. Don't forget #24 Chijioke Onyenegecha

Huge move. Very well could be the most underrated player on our defense. Look how our pass rush dropped off with him out of the lineup. The fact that these moves are getting done so early is awesome. Anderson, Stoudermire and Cotton all before December.

Quite a statement to make.

Need a few more rotation worthy non imports on D so we can roster a power back as a DI

I've had a Shabazz jersey and a TJ Harris jersey that I turned into an Elliott jersey.

Whatever happened to ...

Trying to be realistic ... I'd like to see us grab a few under the radar guys. Giguere would be nice, as would a guy like Hurl or Arakgi.

Big League Teague

I really find it difficult to contribute to the Jets portion of this forum because of one poster's apparent desire to consistently badger anyone who disagrees with them. Opinion is not fact. Shocking.

Wouldn't get too excited about Eppele, the odds on favorite for his destination is probably retirement.

When you get put on the practice roster, the official transactions are a release and a re-signing to a practice roster agreement. When you get put on the active roster from the practice roster, the official transactions are a nullification of your practice roster agreement and a signing of a new deal. The new deal could have been signed under the terms of the new CBA.

Honestly, if I'm Walters, I'm not targeting any receiver other than Demski early (in the top 20) We'll have Goodrich signed eventually. Depending on what happens, that leaves us with Kohlert, JFG, Watson and Goodrich as primary options, as well as Carter. Could also look to free agency to fill a sixth spot. I'm not burning a top 20 pick on another prototypical receiver, the only reason I'd go after Demski is because of how multi-dimensional he is. A guy like that would be Bellefeuille's dream. It doesn't have to be the first pick, but one of our 3 in the top 20 has to go to an OL in my opinion. Seems like Walters subscribes to that theory as well, based on interviews. I'd like to see one on a defensive lineman too. If I had to make an educated guess at this point, I envision the top 5 picks being (in no particular order) Chung, Waud, Demski, Groulx and either Varga or Mateas. Depending on who gains eligibility going forward, that could obviously change. I also think Chris Ackie has a chance to sneak into the first round similar to Pruneau last year, he'll show very well in one on ones. If Lemar Durant gains eligibility, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go first overall. Few other guys out there who could make noise at the top of the board if they apply for national status as well. I don't see Boyko being an option inside the first, the NFL Draft will see to that. At the 11th pick, I'd target a falling OL (Ruby or Mateas?) or even a guy like Brandon Tennant. Tennant is interesting to me, but I could see his stock fall if executives don't like his answer to the inevitable questions about why he lost his temper and broke his toe kicking a garbage can after being tossed from a team practice. Awful move to pull in a draft year. 3 games played is a small body of work for your draft year. Very exciting draft this year.

Still fairly active on Facebook so ... he's not dead

I think it's more likely to be because of the talent pool available. This is the year you can make a big impact with some moves at the draft and in free agency. New salary cap means plenty of guys will be hitting the open market to establish value. Deep draft pool means if you know what you're doing, you could end up with two or three immediate contributors there. Going to be a very exciting offseason.

Based on what? There's literally no trend to support this statement. JJust my own observation But it's ... not an accurate observation. Since 2004, 12 OL have gone in the top 3 picks of the CFL Draft. ONE of them has signed an NFL contract after being drafted. Dmitri Tsoumpas. And he came back.

Based on what? There's literally no trend to support this statement.

Offensively you could just employ stronger blocking backs like Cory Watson and Brad Sinopoli and have that ground attack dominate.

Sign all of them!

Same with Goodrich It's Because they're from Winnipeg They're both very good. But realistically, this talk of Demski going #1 is premature. At least until the combine.

Demski slowly venturing into overrated territory around here.
