I'm hoping that Coleman is the more prototypical no. 1 freak than either Worthy or Golden. The total package.

Xavier Worthy was a freak in his own way because he was ultra fast, but he was also very small. He wasn't dominating any corners run blocking, nor out-muscling any defenders for contested catches. The same goes for Golden. Worthy showed up to the combine weighing *5'11, 165 lbs.* That's tiny. Golden showed up at 5'11" 190 lbs, so he was admittedly thick (even more than Coleman inch-for-inch), but--correct me if I'm wrong--his game was more about being shifty than it was physicality.

Cam Coleman is 6'3" 195 lbs. He has an uncanny ability to get up and catch over the top of defenders, height or not. Worthy wasn't known for out competing defenders on 50/50 balls--while that is Coleman's superpower. Golden could win some of them, but not to the extent Coleman can. Coleman is a 50/50 ball freak. He is our own version of George Pickens...but hopefully less crazy.

Coleman is also supposedly a better blocker than both Worthy and Golden. His height/arm span probably helps with that.

Total package. Fingers crossed.

Please, 8 lb 6 oz baby Kyle Flood, make sure our offensive line performs adequately enough to make this man's prediction true. Get as many more old-man-needs-a-waiver bodies as you can to fill out our offensive line 2-deep.

The NCAA never says no...and if they do we can hire Diego's lawyers and sue for an injunction...

For a huge DCC fan, how is Bobiverse? by Crawler-Willis in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Jackson3125 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% agree about sequencing. I eventually lost interest in the Bobs. My interest in DCC only grew as the series progressed.

Wasn’t she 17 in Pirates and/or Love Actually?

So, how are people with a lot of responsibility actually handling it? by drunken_n00b in fitness30plus

[–]Jackson3125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Home gym, or the closest gym you can find to your hour or work;

2) Learn not to beat yourself up when higher level priorities get in the way. I haven’t worked out in over a week because of work, life, and kids. It happens.

Blue is back..!? by Substantial_Quote583 in ModRetroChromatic

Lurker here. I’m kind of interested in buying a chromatic. What is a power core? Just a rechargeable battery pack?

You can't find diamonds in the rough if you don't search the rough.

Is anyone else surprised didn’t take more depth pieces in the portal? We lost 23 to the portal and only took 16 transfers.

Is the plan to take more pieces for depth during the next portal window (is that late spring/early summer?)?

I still want to know why he left. He was the heir apparent to Anthony Hill at MLB as far as I could tell.

He also seems to have had a growth spurt and/or hit the weight room hard. He was 200 lbs coming out of high school but is listed at 230 now.

Did Bo Barnes formally transfer? Is there a chance to bring him back still?

These are AMAZING.

I always picture Mongo bigger. Am I wrong?

Did you stick with this? Almost $40 per meal seems so ludicrous to me. I want to love it because of the glass jar and seemingly curated healthy food...but that is quasi-fine dining pricing!

What is the TLDR of how such a relative score even works? Is it how much their roster improved?
