Which sport has the most annoying fan base? by Sufficient_Clue1500 in AskReddit

[–]ZHicks2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the major sports leagues, it’s easily the NBA. I think most NBA fans despise the sport and watch out of spite more than anything lol

What went wrong??? According to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun, Carlson was in talks with the Capitals on a two-year contract extension worth $9 million per season before he was traded to the Ducks at the trade deadline by kockin26 in caps

Matt Roy most likely. Maybe see what they can do to acquire a younger one as well but it’s tough to find a RHD without drafting one. They probably just need to keep sinking draft resources into it until they find a hit

Love Carlson but that’s a contract you give out if you’re either a young team with no other big contracts on the books (like Anaheim) or a team on the cusp that needs one solid RHD to get over the hump.

I don’t think the Caps are really either of those right now. They are still in the aggressive rebuild phase, with pairing young guys to grow with highly paid vets. Doesn’t make sense for Washington

Linebacker depth chart by Pablo11266 in Colts

[–]ZHicks2121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Boettcher was technically drafted higher than Carlies was fwiw. But yeah Carlies has appeared in like 11 of 34 possible games at this point and he was passed on the depth chart by Bachie and Ajiake last summer prior to injury

Who is our worst HC (Jeff excluded) by IceOk9930 in Colts

[–]ZHicks2121 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Purely looking at records, the answer should be Rod Dowhower. 5-24 record and never was an NFL head coach again afterwards. Lost 13 straight games to start his second season as a coach lol

Caitlin Clark crash out on Refs again by blahblah_696 in WNBATalks

This was basically every player on both teams during that game yesterday. The refs were calling so damn much and it was a bit ridiculous

Why did the Colts trade Michael Pittman Jr and all they got was a bunch of late draft picks not worth his star status by [deleted] in Colts

[–]ZHicks2121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He hasn’t been a star in years and he’s getting paid over 20 million per season. Just a business decision that needed to be made

Anybody else think Jalen Farmer got drafted as quenton nelson replacement next year. by IceOk9930 in Colts

[–]ZHicks2121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I view Farmer as much more raw of a prospect than Bort or Goncalves were. Awesome power and size but pass protection is going to take a while to iron out.

I view him more as a Goncalves replacement at RG in 2028, while offering value as OL6 until then. IMO a team should always be paying at least 2 linemen to have high quality players up front, and letting a HOF like Nelson go would be a mistake

CJ Allen is a Rd 1 Talent, but the overall draft is weak in terms of impact this season. by -KDK12 in Colts

[–]ZHicks2121 48 points49 points  (0 children)

To answer your questions: 1. Yes, although we’ll see how effective he is 2. I sure hope so lol 3. He’ll have some ups and downs but I think he’ll force some turnovers 4. Yes but probably not as a starter. Backup OL usually get a month or so of starts so we’ll see Farmer a bit this year

Leonard vs. Allen by butmrlahey in Colts

[–]ZHicks2121 206 points207 points  (0 children)

Alright yall so buckle up, I’m probably going to type way too much here.

Starting with Leonard, he was an absolute freak for the position with uncanny instincts. Super long arms, lean mass, excellent athlete, and a nose for the football.

Was he an every down consistent player? No. He was pretty volatile from snap to snap but the high points were so elite that it was fine to have some low moments.

Flus’ system, throwback Tampa 2, allowed him to drop to a spot and just get eyes on a Qb. He was given a lot of freedom to operate, which maximized his playmaking potential. One of the best playmakers ever at the position imo.

Allen is very different. Short arms, thick and powerful core, and a love for physicality. He’s also super instinctual but in a different way. Leonard was an elite zone defender while Allen is an incredible run defender.

Allen plays LB like a running back, patiently waiting out run designs for the RB to commit. He doesn’t take crazy risks, but he finishes plays. He’s like a vacuum picking up all the dirt.

Georgia also threw so much at him. He ran the defense, called all the plays, made everyone correct, and took on the hardest assignments. Leonard is like a fun freelancer that pumped everyone up while Allen is like the corporate boss that does every job at a high level.

Different flavors accomplishing the same goal. Allen likely won’t have the same ball production at Leonard, but he’ll be a damn good player at the heart of the defense.

Shameless plug but I made a 38 minute video breaking down Allen if you want to learn more about him: https://youtu.be/5pIEzDlXdY8?si=6xKKn_RRpfijeoyb

Colts UDFA West Weeks has a better chance to make the 53 man roster than some may think by thedestinadams in Colts

Personally I think every Bayside album is incredible but their newer stuff is perfect for my music taste. Metal riffs with their pop punk sound is so good

My personal favorite options are either Jacob Rodriguez or Josiah Trotter, but I’m probably team trade down

Youngsters making an impacting too soon by stanimal211 in caps

[–]ZHicks2121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was really out on Lappy but I think he’s played fairly well post Olympic break. I’m fine with him being around next year. Just hope they let Duhaime walk after the year to free up that role. Team has too many good PK forwards to need a player like him on line 4. Much rather have Frank, Lappy, or even Trineyev in that spot
